Nicki Minaj has reportedly made Billboard history by becoming the first female rapper to have a single top the Rap Songs category in over seven years.
The Young Money star’s second single ‘Your Love’ is the first record to top the charts since Lil Kim’s 'Magic Stick' featuring 50 Cent, according to The Boom Box.
However, the last female rapper to hold the same position on her own without a feature was Missy Elliot in 2002 with 'Work It'.
I think Missy and Nikki's record are more impressive because they were both the lead rapper on their track and it was THEIR song, whereas Kim was featured on the track (Magic Stick). Regardless, congrats on Nikki she's doing her thing right now and is everywhere.

At Nicki Minaj taking Lil Kim's place.... a mess. I guess SHE owns the throne.

Actually, Kim was the lead on "Magic Stick"; 50 was featured. But it was during the height of his popularity that the song was released, so I'm sure it rode that straight to #1.
