Its subjective honestly. Nicki is versatile. Have you seen Lanas SNL performance?

Shes very weak vocally.

Yea I think there's a stigma against rap especially for females on the other hand whatever UV was isn't as judged even though it's boring

Nicki had more promo and bigger hits you are correct
Lana sold more albums

But this thread isn't about who sold more albums or singles it's about who will be remembered and I still can't you sitting here acting like Lana will be more remembered than like one of the 2 more recent female rappers that makes music catered toward the GP which resulted in multiple top 10 hits, collabs with legends like Beyoncé and madonna, performed at the super bowl, was a judge on American idol, broke records with a perfume, and has gotten millions of people to watch her videos within hours of them being released like

Lana has what a portion of the tumblr community that uses her fashion and a successful remix of one of her songs

nnn clock

I love this post

Everyone knows albums don't sell well in December. The album had no huge promo outside of the US. And viral hits never sell albums, but hey. Nicki is doing very well for a black female rapper. You can try to discredit her all you want tbh, but Nicki Minaj is a household name and has a lot of successful singles.

This isn't a discussion. The poll has spoken and I rest my case without having to discredit what your fave has done in the industry. They have both paved ways and have both influenced.

Please close this flamebait thread why it reached this many pages is beyond me~

Yes, this thread is about who is going to be more remembered. But if Nicki is not even more remembered than Lana as of right now, what makes you think she'll be more remembered in 10 years? Please stop, like I've been saying for a long time now, BTD is more important than ANYTHING Nicki has ever done, and for that Lana will be remembered.

Nicki is a big rapper, yes, but she's very limited because of her genre. Lana has been inspiring all kinds of music acts, from rock to pop, from country to rap. Old artists, new artists etc etc

And then you have her little Tumblr cult, which is arguably bigger than Nicki's entire stanbase, the numbers do not lie.

And please, people wont remember Nicki's American Idol/SB, it was a quick little event and it's already forgotten.

Now, its pretty clear that BTD will be inspiring artists in 2025, and there's nothing more memorable than A TIMELESS album with pop culture impact.

Nicki can't compete.

Why even mention concert sales? That just proves that Lana has a dedicated fanbase and nothing more.

And Lana is a fad created to appeal to tumblr hipsters. Your point? Her image is fabricated and her schtick is lame anyway.
