Rihanna will end up winning the hits race with Katy because if Katy surpasses or Rih feels she's inching too close, all she has to do is call some goons to kill Dr. Luke
Nicki Minaj has always seemed to exist outside the realm of pedestrian blog-rap buzz, unconcerned with using her power to ride the waves of up-and-comers the way her biggest peers do. (Think Drake and Migos, Kanye West and Chief Keef, or even Lil Wayne and Chance). So her decision to freestyle over a viral YouTube track ("Boss Ass Bitch") and then go rogue on an unofficial remix of the Hottest New Single by Hottest New Atlanta Rapper Young Thug feels like a coup, a serious jolt to her brand.
But instead of sounding desperate—as though she's forcefully jumping a bandwagon, or just learning to read the internet—she lets everyone know that she's been watching all along and is in total control. She's Auto-Tuned, she's singing about Twitter bios in a fake patois, she's flexing her voice to match Young Thug's, she's telling Justin Timberlake that she's "coming for Jes-siCA BIEL!" Nicki's impossibly at ease, as ever.

Everyone's so predictable in what they will bring to the table.
I love Rih for the fact she changes it up with every era, like a musical chamelon except she's prettier, her box-game is aTrill and her name is a money-making magnet than her peers. Who REALLY tryna step in her lane yo

Rhenna's asset is she's proven capable of rebounding from flops without losing any momentum.
