It's kind of funny how MC Lyte is saying Nelly Furtado, Gwen Stefani and Fergie gotta worry about Minaj's record. Them three woman been there, done that...Nelly's doing a Spanish album, climbing the latin charts, Gwen Stefani is recording with No Doubt again and Fergies been having chart success with the Black Eyed Peas. They are way out of Nicki's league. Nicki will always be in a box no matter how much people say she's not. Pop, dance-pop and R&B are the only things she's been doing.. oh and "rapping" I guess.

@Lola, it's also funny how you say Kim ain't iconic when Nicki dresses like her in photoshoots and got the barbie thing going on with this pop music bitch. By the way, Nicki isn't hardcore and barely meets the real hip-hop standards, it takes more than her gimmicks and cool punchlines. You can't change the definition of hip-hop, or it won't be hip-hop.

OH Yeah...and by the way, hip-hop has ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOTHING TO DO with Billboard charts or any chart for that matter. It was meant for the streets, where you know what's good hip-hop and what's wack as fuck. You can't throw hip-hop out there and expect the secular audience to know what it is...that has happened already and it confused the pop kids. That's why you now have Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, New Boyz and the rest of those little wack ass nobody rappers.
