Here we go again trying to compare another new up n coming rapper to an old one. The styles, rap, lyrics and slang has all changed. For male and female rappers from the past, you can't compare them to the new rappers. Now if nicki was rapping 15-20 years ago when lil kim was hot then we would know. Why do you think there is 1 or 2 old school rappers still out here today? The older rappers probably would be out here if they could change their style but they can't and that's the difference. If lil kim tried to battle nicki right now she would get clowned.
