Grapejuice, I love you guys but boy how disappointed I am in this article and your slight shade towards my generations greatest female rapper. "Self-proclaimed queen of rap?" First of all, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, Billboard have all proclaimed her to be Hip-Hops reigning Queen. NO OTHER Female Rapper in THIS MOMENT has an impact the way Nicki does. Agree or Disagree she deserves her props. You don't have to like her but she has paved many avenues for many artists, Male AND Female.
