Nicki will go down as the most successful female rapper of all time I don't think it's up for debate at this point.
Not really. Missy Elliott and Lauryn are more successful than her (for now).
But she is quite obviously the most successful female rapper since them and anyone who denies it is just trolling at this point
The thing is: I bought gaga's fame and fame monster but I like having a go at stans of artists that either a) never had a diamond album at peak b) struggle to go top 10, 10 years into their career c) are unable to make iconic pop moments without it being derived from something that was original or d) all of the above.
Still want gaga and xtina to comeback because all icons deserve at least one comeback. Look at bieber.
You do realize that the only reason your fave has only one of those is because her peak was during a time that album sales were booming right?
Having a 4M+ album (US sales only) in the US in 2008 is just as impressive, especially when it's WW sales are over 15M.
Repel Charts isn't actually bad at its core, it was just marketed in the complete wrong way (terrible videos, first 2 singles shouldn't have even made the album, weird track listing, best songs bonus tracks, messy behaviour etc)
I don't think it's up for debate at this point.
