Missy, anyone who says Nicki at this point in her career is delusional.

A baby seal dies everytime someone tries to separate rap and hip-hop just to give Kim a title, missy drags her and every other female rapper for filth, missy has sheer anticipation for her new material Kim doesn't.

And not too much on nicki, she's not going to stop coming up in these debates anytime soon and its not because of pop fans

I love Missy, but I'ma give it to Lil Kim. She's just amazing lyrically and she revolutionized female hip hop.

Missy of course

Missy is the most successful female rapped period.
Nicki does have more hits but she is the second most charted female rapped.
She has gone platinum more times than any other female and to top it off with the exception of queen la and nicki all den lessors are not worth over 20m...missy is worth 200m+ from all her songwriting, production and own stuff...and thats without mentioning her groundbreaking videos, creativity and being ahead of her time...
In 7 years, nicki will probably surpass her but for now...its missy...

Nicki has more hits than Missy? Are you including a bunch of features or...? "Super Bass" and "Turn Me On" are her only two major hits to date. The rest are only moderate hits. I don't think she has surpassed Missy yet in the hit territory. I'm aware she probably had more chart entries than any other female rapper other than Missy.

Revolutionized...stop it already. Lol. missy was her own person and stood alone. Kim had more ghostwriters then...only got her publishing back in 08 and was svengali'd by biggie telling her how to flow and writing her first classic album for her...although she feels she is the hip hop madonna...she really only took the sex and controversy from her and did not incorporate business savvy, marketability, staying ahead of the curve, and being in control of her destiny...look st before and after she became famous...complete product.
I like her but it is known that she is not all that she makes breaker out to be...but she has a sick delivery...I'll give her that.

Lil Kim is over IMO.

Missy and Nicki !!! bring it gurls !!

Well, I wouldn't say that she only has a couple of hits but yes I should have said charted songs to clarify...my bad.

I'm gonna say Missy...Her videos and songs opened a door for alot of girls
& I'm here for Nicki but she never does songs with female rappers as if she wants to be the only one in the game!

Missy "copywritten so don't copy me" Elliott.

1) Raw talent
2) Unique and groundbreaking
3) She's the person people on that list would name if asked that question.

Shouldn't Foxy Brown be an option? Or was she not as successful as I remembered her to be?
