Nicki Minaj may have ignited the newest wave of female MCs, but emerging artists like Brianna Perry, Dominique Young Unique, Iggy Azalea and Nyemiah Supreme are blazing a hip-hop trail all their own.

But more important, Minaj has cut a path for new talent in her wake. More and more young female rappers are emerging from the underground, marking the beginning of a "femcee" movement that could prove as robust as that of the 1990s, when Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill and Lil Kim topped the charts.

"When Nicki came along, the pink hair had [your attention], but there was more behind the theatrics, there were actual lyrics."-Nyemiah Supreme

The part where that one girl shaded Nicki.

"Lot of people say, 'Oh, Nick opened doors for female MCs.' No, she did not," she says via Skype from her Tampa, Fla., home. "It was Missy Elliott, Eve, Trina and all of them. They opened doors. Nicki is just … the only female right now getting attention."-dominique young unique
