Let's not make this a Missy vs. NIcki debate. They actually both like each other and may even collab. They are 2 totally different artists and Missy has ALWAYS been known moreso for her creativity and not being a lyrical beast.

NO female rapper from the past can EVER dethrone Nicki because Nicki is IN her prime and the old gals HAD their prime. Nicki also broke ALL their records and is only on her 2nd album. PLEASE don't make me dig up the sales of Missy last album. I like Missy but Nicki is reigning supreme.
