Of course she is! These features (including hits Tapout, Love More, and potentially I'm Out/Get Like Me) are gearing her up for her epic third studio album, which will likely continue her #1 album streak and produce at least one Hot 100 top 10 like her first two. Not to mention we have that Miley collab to look forward to.
The replies in here are so ignorant.
Nicki is still the top of her spot in rap. She has nothing to prove other than making another solid rap album which she is doing now. She could retire tomorrow and no other female rapper would get the top spot. They cannot compare to the legacy she has already made in female rap and music in general. Rappers will be trying for years to top her records in the US and WW.
Stop living under the Roman Reloaded excuses (the sales) and realize that album not only grew her brand but got her WW attention and demand. It was a necessary misstep in her overall career.

Nicki raps better in her features now than many of her mixtape songs. Stop overhyping past works. Living in nostalgia ruins taking new work for what it is.
She's done what mose female rappers haven't. Roman Reloaded def wasn't the best but to say she isn't at the top wouldn't be the right word. She fell off a bit but she's still at the top.
Hmmmmm...NO!
She was never on top if we are talking pop culture and with the GP! She had a few bops here and there but she was never the #1 artist in the world. Her 15 Minutes is running out fast hope she can add more time with album #3.
She's falling down with these flop features
If she wants to do urban and stay on top she better start following Drake's route
This is how she's building hype for her next album. The radio will keep hearing these "flop features", get interested by Nicki's new style, and get excited for #3. Nicki knows what she's doing.

That's what I've been saying, all of these features are basically so the general public can see the new Nicki

She revived female rap YES!
Did she change it.....
Hmmm....NO!
Lol poor you. Did you not read the rest of my post where I talked about her PLATINUM ALBUMS. That doesn't seem like she's on 15 mins to me.
"She revived female rap" Doesn't that mean she's on top right now?
Now I may be wrong here, but as far as I know, when the Kendrick Lamar verse came out, some male hip hop bloggers were asking Nicki to respond. They wanted to hear what SHE had to say. Just throwing that out there.
