Nicki didn't just decide to become the phenomenon that she is today over night. The girl has been doing this rap shit since she was 19 all the hard work paid off! 8 years later she's not only raps leading lady but a major crossover artist. Like Timbaland said, Nicki is one of the few artists who will remain relevant for years to come. I don't even have to go on & on about the amount of accomplishments she's achieved thought the years.
