I don't think she followed Nicki's route. IMO it's a pure coincidence that her album is pop influenced and getting features happens to every rapper (regardless of gender) once they smash.
Yes pure coincidence because trap gold and ignorant art were pop
No, Iggys music has always been dance influenced trap music (Trap Gold, Ignorant Art and Glory all back this up) so that's invalid. Her catering to the mainstream is her trying to survive as an hip-hop based artist living in a world where pop music is 90% of the time superior, she isn't the first to showcase this and won't be the last. As for the features -- I mean she's a rapper, if she's following the "Pink Print" formula so is Kendrick, Drake, 2chainz etc and we all know they aren't that's just how rappers get their start.
Too bad there is no dance influenced trap like my world, demons, or gold dust on the new classic. The new classic is a clone of pfrr (good production with subpar lyricism)
But at least iggys features are acclaimed and grammy nominated
It's disgusting how a Katy Perry fan shades an artist for putting songs on Soundcloud without thinking about profit. Is this really what it has come to?
You say the GP hasn't heard of Nicki since PTA/VVV, but that was the last time she released a Pop radio single. You can talk when her next Pop radio single bombs.
I wasn't shading Nicki at all, I was just saying that people don't know those songs. Which you AGREED with.
I am aware that's the last time she released a radio single, I stanned for her at that time.

I think it's unfair to say nobody knows them, when each track has a few million views each on YT. The Urban community makes up a substantial amount of people in the music community. Of course the Pop crowd isn't going to know music that is in no way catered to them.
What door has Nicki opened up...? I mean she just revived Female rap thats it... And how is Iggy following anything Nicki has done both of their debuts are trash and I love Iggy... and on top of that Iggy been had pop rap hip hop infused songs. Lets not be delusional. Y'all always trying to give somebody more credit than they deserve.
