And even how "annoying" and "non lyrical" nicki minaj is she still managed to get a number 1 in the USA for her debut album along with the greats like Adele and Beyonce and rihanna that started as a american hype artist before she gained UK fame still hasn't got a number 1 after 6 very much hyped and over-marketed albums. Not knocking rihanna cuz she is a good artist too but that's just sad. Anyone with a number 1 album has already accomplished shit their haters will never do. So even if nicki doesn't last a long time with the public appeal, she's still done it big as a female rapper. So you gotta give credit where it's due at the end of the day no matter how weak you think her lyrics are. Cuz truth is there is at least 1 or 2 songs that you like by her on the downlow.
