You can't compare Kanye & HOV to NM 'cause they weren't handed the luxury of swindling little white fans by opening up for Britney Spears' concerts or dropping pop records like Pink Friday. They solidified themselves as rap artists first before they crossed over and did business ventures. Nicki had it very easy, bruh. I applaud her for making it big in America as a caribbean woman (I'm part west indian myself so I can relate somewhat) but don't try to make pop appeal the standard for other female rappers. That formula does not represent hip hop.
