    • truth(Janet is QWEEN, was a hot MaDINOSAUR is a flop! Deal!) November 14, 2015

      Yeap. That one for pop music. Go nicki of pop land! ????

  4. lisa01 November 14, 2015

    This girl is over-rated and corny. Shes a clown. To mention this trick with Queen, Mc Lyte, roxanne or even Kim should be a sin.

    Shes a stripper with a nice tone.

    • Nickiara Keys November 14, 2015

      The heck is Mc Lyte and Roxanne? You have to stop mentioning the one hit wonders (inc.. lil Kim) with Nicki on the same non sense making comment
      please name atlaest 3 top 10 singles Kim has

      • truth(Janet is QWEEN, was a hot MaDINOSAUR is a flop! Deal!) November 14, 2015

        No time, Crush, Majic Stick, Ladies Nite, How Many Licks look biitch dont eeeeven try it. I can go on. Nicki is pop so DEAL!!

      • Facts November 15, 2015

        No Time, Not tonight (Ladies Night), Crush on you, The Jump Off, Magic Stick, In the air tonight, Lighters up, Download, I haven’t even started with colabo’s or stuff she wrote for other artists. Js

    • vivid November 14, 2015

      list some of Mc Lyte, Roxanne or Kims accomplishments and we’ll compare them to nicki’s list of accomplishments and bill-bored positions… this should be fun

      • Face November 15, 2015

        Lyte, Roxanne and Kim didn’t crossover like Nicki they also weren’t the only popular rapping female at the time of their hayday that everyone called on when Pop acts needed some Urban flair. That comparison will never be sensible.

  5. Nicki’s baby November 14, 2015

    It’s about time she finally gets recognized. I don’t care who your favorite female MC is, there is NO denying that Nicki Minaj has completely revitalized female rap. NICKI MINAJ IS THE MOST SUCCESFUL FEMALE RAPPER and that’s a fact and y’all seem to forget that. Nicki has been on the scene for only about FIVE YEARS and she has gone farther in her career than any female rappers who has been on the scene. You may not like her music but you cannot take away what she has done for hip-hop.

    • jamon November 14, 2015

      Missy Elliott 4 platinum albums, has written and produced dozens of hits for other artists and has won grammys. True hip hop. Don’t get me started on Lauryn Hill’s accomplishments.

      Lauryn Hill, Lil kim, Foxy Brown, MC Lyte, Eve, the Brat, are real hip hop pioneers who influenced other female hip hop artist. I like some of Nicki Minaj features, but she is not hip hop and her songs are forgettable. These lady’s have classic hip hop songs that will not be forgotten. Nicki has talent but she will not be a legend in hip hop with the music she’s making (anaconda).

      She needs a, crush on you, I’ll be, the rain,work it, ladies night,hot spot, gotta man, love is blind, doo wop (that thing), everything is everything, who’s that girl, funkdafied, Lyte as a rock.

      Let’s be clear that money isn’t a factor. TLC is on of the greatest female groups of all time but they went bankrupt. Same with a lot of legendary artist.

      • HailBeysus November 14, 2015

        I love me some Nicki but pour that boiling hot tea sis!!! Nicki is the most successful on the charts. In my opinion Lauryn Hill is the most successful Female MC of all time. Not only was she a pioneer of bringing Hip-Hop to the mainstream world of music. But she was truly the last artist to Change Music on a Grande scale and create a HUGE impact that transcends just hip-hop. She made a timeless album and made conscious music writing a huge part of mainstream music. She created a moment in music that many are still trying to recapture. Hill was everywhere from the States to France to Japan. I really don’t like when they discredit these other successful MC’s by calling Nicki the Most Successful.

      • Christian November 14, 2015

        Missy has 6 PLATINUM ALBUMS AND ONE OF THEM IS DOUBLE PLATINUM. SHE HAS 5 GRAMMYS AND SOLD OVER 15 MILLION ALBUMS. LAURYN DESTROYED EVERYONE WITH HER ONE ALBUM. OVER 12 MILLION COPIES, 8 GRAMMYS. LIL KIM HAS 3 PLATINUM ALBUMS. Nicki is the most successful on the hot 100 and for single sales. That’s about it.

      • Mister_Ken November 14, 2015

        Y’all kill me comparing 90’s and early 2000’s sales to 2010 sales. Missy hasn’t had a platinum album since 2003. #FACTS. Her new album won’t even go gold. Kim can’t even release a free mixtape and her last album only sold 500k. Lauryn is bat s*** crazy now and doesn’t even respect her fans enough to show up to concerts on time. In terms of sales and BRAND, Nicki is the queen of hip hop.

      • HailBeysus November 14, 2015

        @Master Ken you sound really stupid. I don’t discredit nicki at all but be real. Her legacy doesn’t touch Lauryn Hills legacy and that was with one album. She furthers her legacy with The Fugees even more. Lauryn’s personal life has nothing to do her legacy she has bestowed upon us.
        P.s nitwit early 2000’s sales was a struggle to. It Was the beginning of music being downloaded as singles instead of buying a full body of work. OutKast held the record for most downloaded song for awhile for “Hey Ya” back in 03.

      • Mister_Ken November 14, 2015

        Buddy people were still moving major units up until iTunes / iPhone hit the scene around 07-08. That my dear is when sales started to take a downward spiral. Missy released albums in 05 and 06 and neither went platinum. Even Ciara was pushing millions of units around that time. I have nothing more negative to say about the musical genius that is Lauryn Hill. PF went 2x platinum in 2010 at a time where female rappers were irrelevant. RR is close to 1 million units and TPP has sold over 650k units not even mentioning her global stats. Y’all so jealous of Nicki it’s not even funny. S***** queens will use anyone to go up against Queen Nicki but it ain’t working.

    • Face November 15, 2015

      Revitalizing Female Hip-Hop is the only honorable things she’s done in that’s notable. Everything else speaks to that void she filled and her crossover Pop success. That’s not a credible legacy for Hip-Hop. Pop music, sure…

      • HailBeysus November 15, 2015

        Did we also forget Eve’s collaboration with Gwen Stefani??? Y’all act like Nicki was the first artist to breakthrough to the pop music scene.

      • Mister_Ken November 15, 2015

        Yes we did. We forgot eve altogether. Next…

      • HailBeysus November 15, 2015

        @Ken KIII you were also wrong about album sales. IPhone didn’t have much to do with record’s decline. At least that’s not what the.numbers show. From 2000-2009 the musoc industry lost on average 8% of albums sales every year. 2013 marked the first time ever that digital downloads surpassed physical sales. Then in 2014 Physical sales were up showing a 54% decline in digital sales from the previous year. So why isn’t Nicki going platinum in a month??? Dont give me that BS because she’s a FEMALE MC. Feminism is BIGGER than.ever these days and Nicki plays into it.

  6. LIL’ KIM BIRTHED YO FAVES November 14, 2015

    Contributions to what? This silicone h0 aint done shittt for hip hop. This award should be going to either Missy Elliott or the Queen Bee Lil’ Kim. Oinknika is an overrated fraud.

    • Nickiara Keys November 14, 2015

      Lol not when lik lim looks like a silicone from head to toe your fave isn’t remembered for her music but for her fued with the Queen
      girl you tried but not harder so next time……… Iggy>>>lil Kim

      • LIL’ KIM BIRTHED YO FAVES November 14, 2015

        Lil’ Kim isn’t remembered for her music, which is why she is still booking massive stages in 2015 off the strength of her 20-year-old material. Fuqq outta here. Nobody will remember Oinknika is 10 years. That bish is a motherfuqqing fad, and she is WASHED. SPLISH SPLASH, BISH!

    • TRUTH SERUM November 14, 2015

      Lil Kim fan still b$tching. That ish is so lame and it’s so 2009. Let it go Bae !

  7. TRUTH SERUM November 14, 2015

    The undisputed queen!!! I’m back b$tches!!!

  8. ????Queen Molly???? November 14, 2015

    Congrats boo

  9. Cough Cough November 14, 2015

    Her music as a whole is watered down and basic. But she can spit or whatever. Congrats on being the best female rapper amongst Iggy Azalea and Azalea Banks.. You’re RUNNIN these heauxs nick. Slay?

    • vivid November 14, 2015

      that’s your opinion maybe people like watered down and basic seeing as how she racked up all of the accomplishments in just a short 5 years.

      • Cough Cough November 14, 2015

        I mean when you can chart based off of songs that aren’t even officially released and buy on iTunes it makes it a lot easier with the “quantity lbs quality” rule. You put out more you’re bound to have more. Duh

  10. OMG Logic!!! November 14, 2015

    Jesus Christ. First Paris and now this? The world is really in a time of suffering.

    • HailBeysus November 14, 2015

      Indeed the world has gone to amd you’re part of the problem. How dare you compare your hate for Nicki to the Tragedies that have and are happening in Paris as I write this SMFH have some respect!!!

    • ????Queen Molly???? November 14, 2015

      Did you really go there you ignorant bitcch?

    • vivid November 14, 2015

      You’re truly sick in the head, seek help before it’s to late. Are you that blinded by hate that you use this senseless tragedy to fit your agenda of hate?

      • November 14, 2015

        some people is just consumed by hate.

  11. Nickiara Keys November 14, 2015

    Watered Down honey did you buy TPP? And did you just say Best Rapper Amongst Iggy A lmao?

    • Cough Cough November 14, 2015

      Yes I did YouTube the pink print. It’s exactly like her diary two albums just slightly different. It wasn’t bad but you could mix those songs in with her first and second albums and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference because they’re like the same

  12. Slay_Hive November 14, 2015

    Congrats Nicki!! I mean, why hate? Who is doing what she’s doing right now? Its hard out here for female rap and Nicki is still holding it down, representing and opening doors for other women. #QueenOfRap #IfYouAintOnTheTeamYouPlayingForTeamD????????

    • ????Queen Molly???? November 14, 2015

      I agree boo can’t really hate on her… Anyways how are you sis?

    • Barb-wire November 14, 2015

      @Slay_Hive… Ain’t that the truth!

  13. Lake Erie November 14, 2015

    Smh. Too Soon. It’s levels to this sh!t that I honestly don’t believed she’s crossed. And not getting money or staying on a chart. With the way the billboard has shifted to some of the most microwavable “hip hop” dominating the charts. Those receipts are beginning to slowly depreciate. But congrats to What she “did” contribute to hip hop.

    • ????Queen Molly???? November 14, 2015

      Why don’t you stfu.. You fake bitchh!

    • vivid November 14, 2015

      it’s levels to this ish for real which is why nicki is on the top level sitting on her thrown while her empire continues to grown.

  14. Barb-wire November 14, 2015

    Oohhh… HOLD IT THE FUCCKK DOWN!!! Yass Ma’am, watch em hate but it’s not taking anything away from anyone. Queen!!!

  15. Freaky tah November 14, 2015

    This is in all wrong. First, of all she doesn’t have a grammy.
    She doesn’t have anything the missy,lil kim, eve all them have but yet she gets all this?
    That’s not cool.
    Mind you everything shes doing kim did before.
    Mind you there is nothing special about none of the music she’s doing.
    Yall will see it, i due time will tell.????

  16. Barb-wire November 14, 2015

    Pull up in the monster automobile, gangsta
    With a bad b**** that came from Sri Lanka
    Yeah I’m in that Tonka color of Willy Wonka
    You could be the king but watch the queen
    conquer…

    Bit¢h I’m a muthafu¢ken Monsta!

  17. Mister_Ken November 14, 2015

    These Missy stans are so pressed chile. 2 days later, and her little “comeback” has been forgotten.

  18. King Mark111 /.\ November 14, 2015

    Missy done it ALL and wrote classics AND worked with almost every other female rapper. Nicki done NOTHING for female rappers, it all about herself. Don’t forget that Missy was the master mind behind this cover.

      And what did THOTTLIYAHH do besides marry young and die young?

    • Mister_Ken November 14, 2015

      Okay and? Where’s WTF on the charts?

  19. No favs, just here for the music November 14, 2015

    She definitely deserves a tribute no doubt. There was a period where we didn’t have a dominating female rapper for years then here came Nicki.

    Some people may not like her but I think she’s great. Every rapper has their own style and bring something different to the table musically wise.

  20. ????Queen Molly???? November 14, 2015

    I don’t even use nicki like that but she clearly slays that old tired dikee Missy.

  21. Ashley Minaj November 14, 2015

    #Iggy is taking over the true Queen.So give Nicki her little award.

  24. sit dog November 14, 2015

    Lol what a joke.

  25. Theman November 14, 2015

    Nicki is like the Beyonce of hiphop. She’s successful but she hasn’t done anything groundbreaking. Musically, Missy & Lauren are on a completely different level. Nicki’s success mainly comes from doing a thousand features. Most of her successful songs are the pop ones… She should be tri urging Queen L.

    • HailBeysus November 14, 2015

      Except Beyonce was the female artist that owned the 00’s. She tied and set a new record for grammys won in one night by a female artist. 5 was a tie 6 was a new record. She’s highly praised and regarded as the beat entertainer of today. She is arguably considered as the best voice in pop (popular) music today. She has 2 critically acclaimed albums back to back. One that completely changed the game of music because she was the First artist to drop an album out of nowhere on a Grande Scale!! She’s made many list for being one of the best artist. The list is endless. Really can’t compare the 2. Beyonce’s success is far beyond what HATERS say.

      • HailBeysus November 14, 2015

        Lol beat ment to say best

    • Lake Erie November 14, 2015

      @Theman, lol. I wouldn’t say all that. You gotta give Bey her props. Girl is Bad. But as for your comparison with nicki, yes, completely different levels. That’s why I said this is definitely too soon. I need and “kind of” (and I don’t use that loosley) want to see more from her. Certifications aren’t any good if they expire after that time. Again, congratulations to her tho.

  26. RDK November 14, 2015

    congratz to her.

  27. HailBeysus November 14, 2015

    Hahahahaha that Centurion sure lives in it’s own world. Thinking it chopped me.BITXH.WHERE!?!?!?!
