Nicki did not open doors for anyone. Kim Missy Brat opened the doors but damn after 15 years of non stop albums touring etc they needed a break Nicki took advantage of them on break.If Nicki had come out 10 years ago she would have flopped harder than Beyonce running down stairs at a concert. That is in no way shade at Nicki just truth. Nicki hasn't not done anything for Hip Hop. The women above changed Hip Hop.. Nicki is just participating in it!
