For a strictly rap/hip-hop song, especially one that is by a female rap artist and didn’t get any promotion whatsoever 700,000+ is excellent. It went GOLD. Nicki is doing very well for a rap artist and it’s hard as hell for female rappers to succeed. Even if she does POP… she is still rapping. Had she just been a singer doing all these POP songs, every single would sell 5 million+ worldwide and so would the album.
