Unity.

Ok but no female rapper has done it ENTIRELY by themselves without a male co sign. The only female rapper to do that really is Azealia, shes not associated with any hip hop artist/group

She has never said that.

And there is no way to rescue the female rap game. Unity is not the answer, especially when we have gotten COUNTLESS collabs from girls this decade (2010s) alone.

Kim needs Tiffany just as much as Tiffany needs Kim. You can't compare that to Jay & Rita.

In just saying that Lil Wayne didn't CREATE Nicki, he undoubtably helped her but her whole career shouldn't be contributed to him. Yes she was discovered and nurtured by him. Duh. She isn't any less of a rapper just because she has his backing.

That's their problem.
Nicki has collaborated with her own artists (Parker Ighile and Brinx).
It's funny because if Lil Kim, as Tiffany Foxx's mentor (did I spell her name right?) wouldn't collab with her then I don't know who would.

Lmao you're talking about the bet awards tweet?

Trina and Nicki are damn near the same age how is she going to put her under her wing? It wasn't like Nicki and Trina KNEW eachother when Nicki was entirely fresh out there. By that time Nicki was already signed and already had her Young Money crew so she didn't need Trina really to put her under her wing

& we see where that got her.

Not necessarily seeing as though neither are releasing anything to buy.

Lets be real... Nicki working with other female rappers does NOTHING for her but please a few far and between people.

People who casually listen to music don't know who Iggy, Azealia or Angel are.

They know Nicki because she's on their televisions, shes in commercials, movies...EVERYWHERE.

She's a smart girl. No one is gonna remember she collaborated with some up and coming female rappers.

Everyone remembers the collaborations with the Kanyes, Jay Zs, Lil Waynes, Drakes, and what not.

The features these other females rappers phones ARENT ringing about.

I never said Nicki needed to be under their wings, but continue to speak further & further away from the point.

TBH... Rap doesn't associate itself with Azealia Banks.

SO WHAT? Does Beyonce write all her songs? Nope but she sure do sing the **** out of em

Just like Kim. Yall can bring her not writing her songs up all you want but can't nobody put the energy and delivery into the lyrics like she can. I bet you Nicki can't rap a Kim verse the way Kim can and vice versa.

She doesn't have to. That's part of the game. Nicki was the only prominent female artist. She doesn't want to give that up. I understand as a lover of hip hop.

Unity is the answer! I would love an updated "Ladies Night" or a jaw dropping collabo. It would help the female rap game. It keeps the genre alive.

Obviously it builds hype around one another, I think that maybe the objective.

Beyoncé is a singer. It's excusable.

A rapper should write 90% of what they rap. I can understand someone throwing you a hot line every now and then, but otherwise.... Come on now.

So whats your point?

That don't even matter. Don't none of these artist write an entire songs by themselves not even Nicki. And Kim definately did write her own rhymes Biggies said it himself. The only material Biggie wrote for Kim was some of her Hardcore stuff .

And do people REALLY even care who wrote a song these days? Not really.

My point is Nicki isn't obligated to put ANY of these newbies on, when no females put her on when she was starting out. They can achieve their way to the top the same way Nicki did, simply put.

People like you need to stop placing this responsibility on Nicki like she's the one who's obligated to do anything.
