The Source Mag is not a joke.. Congrats Nicki

nice picture!

Congrats.

She deserves it, a true Legend.

Wow. Go Onika!

There are literally like zero even kind of Urban woman doing anything in the industry right now. The fact that Nicki is even eligible for this speaks for itself. This is beyond by default. I seriously can't even name another woman connected with hip hop that's even somewhat relevant. But hey

Alicia, Brandy, etc all released albums this year. and Hip-Hop women have been a non-factor prior to Nicki debut. The fact that they choose her means she must be doing something right. You always doing the most.

Those are R&B singers. This is a hip hop/rap magazine

I know that but you first said "urban women" as if they could've went on the magazine anyway. And there have been female rappers out before Nicki yet they failed to make it.

By Urban I meant hip hop. And yeah, because none of them have been even remotely relevant I can't even think of one one that's had an official album yet. You're arguing my point by basically reiterating the same thing I was saying. There is literally no one else, Nicki would win by default regardless considering she is the ONLY female "rapper" that's doing anything at the moment.

This is like One Direction or the The Wanted winning a Boy band of the year title, when there are literally NO other boy bands And there's two of them.

You know what?

As a fellow Chris fan, I am sick of you steady coming for other artists who are ON THEIR GRIND while your fave (and one of mine as well) sits around following Rihanna and smoking blunts on Instagram letting their latest album flop to the pits of hell.

The Source covers URBAN MEDIA, whether it be hip hop, R&B, movies, TV, whatever. Nicki Minaj is in NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM the only black woman making big moves right now in the industry. Kerry Washington became the star of one of broadcast television's hottest new shows, with Meagan Good following in her footsteps gearing up for next year. Janelle Monae made big moves this year and featured on one of the biggest singles with FUN.. Brandy and Monica and Keyshia held it down for R&B, getting hits and selling solid - this doesn't even include all the black/urban females BEHIND the scenes making moves in the industry. For crying out loud, they already have Beyonce plastered all over the place with her Pepsi news to lead into next year.

And even if it WAS solely dedicated to hip hop, there are PLENTY of women doing things. Trina, Eve, Missy, even bitches on the underground circuit trying to come up... all them ain't dead and most released something this year and was getting paper. Whether or not Nicki is the one getting attention in MAINSTREAM is irrelevant. I am sure THE SOURCE, which is one of the most respected and long-lasting publications IN HIP HOP, would know what the **** is going on and make an informed decision.

Do not discredit THEM and do not discredit NICKI.

Sick of this ****ing blind hatred and shade. If she got it, she ****ing deserved it. **** a default.

You aren't making ANY type of sense.

Is it NICKI's fault that NONE of these girls are making an impact with their music? That's the hilarity. You ATTEMPT to discredit her because the OTHER girls are unable to find relevance. Oh.

TL;DR.
My fave is actually on a worldwide tour selling out shows overseas Rihanna is actually the one that follows HIM around traveling to HIS shows. He hasn't followed her anywhere I didn't even get past the first paragraph though.
Nicki is the ONLY person even remotely eligible for this. Sorry

Yeah I hope the Amsterdam Drug Surplus Tour helps Fortune.

Cute.

Who said it was Nicki's fault?
I'm just pointing out that his is literally a default win. Seeing how there is virtually no other eligible people. Has any other female in hip hop even released an official SINGLE thing year? Album? Anything? Clearly Nicki is going to be the woman of the year in hip hop, when she is the only woman this year connected to hip hop.
