@Sugar Honey Ice Tea it's quite comical that you feel the need to mention Lil Kim in a post that is about Nicki Minaj. While you're ranting about album sales, I see you failed to mention that during the time of her album release, she was going through contractual issues with her record label which affects promotion, etc. Secondly, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. They are no more credible than a blog site. When you have information from credible sources, then you should present an argument. Focus on Nicki, you need not worry about Lil Kim. She is the Queen of Rap/Hip Hop and is the only female to receive 5 mics from The Source for The Naked Truth. I won't waste my time comparing Lil Kim to Nicki Minaj because one isn't necessary, Lil Kim is better hands down. She has longevity and is still talked about 15 years later in the game. Can we say that we'll be talking about Nicki Minaj? Doubt it.
