The torch has been grabbed and taken by the new brand genre Hip-Pop artist Nicki Minaj because the door for a female MC to get back in and impact was left wide open like a open goal in soccer by Missy, Kim etc.. for reasons some have explained.
With that lane of Hip-Pop taken thats mean Lil' Kim "Kimme Blanco" can still do her thing and keeps it more hardcore.

Missy is Missy so she can go where ever she wants and Eve best body of work was mainly features rather than her albums (not on the levels of Kim & Fox days REAL TALK)

Always had a soft spot for Da BRAT so I hope she just make hot music really that fits her style because to me she is a really skilled rapper.
