All rumors.
I love shading Kim, and I like Nicki more, but putting her above Kim in anything is delusional when Nicki's only defining moment is a GUEST verse on Monster.
Don't discredit the Queen:
Quote:
Lil’ Cease: Once he had it planned, [Big] knew who he could write for and who could write for themselves. I didn’t take it serious at all. I wasn’t a rapper. Trife and Larceny were rappers. Kim was a rapper.
York: She never had a problem writing. She just always went a little Lauryn Hill–ish. When she heard the “Get Money” beat, she went really gangsta backpack. Big came in and said, “No, I’m doing my verse; here’s where to go.” “******, better grab your seats/Deeper than a *****…”—Big wrote that part. Then after 8, 12 bars, she wrote it herself. Hard Core is 70 percent written by her too.”
Rivera: He’d write a rhyme, and then she’d write a rhyme. We would compare it, and a lot of times we liked hers better. But [Big] would say, “Nah, nah, we gonna put this in.”
Jackson: Kim is not a fast writer; it might take Kim a day or two. When [Biggie’s] “Queen Bitch” [reference track] leaked—“Queen Bitch, Supreme Bitch, I kill a ***** by any means, bitch”—people tried to give Biggie credit for writing all of Kim’s stuff. That wasn’t the case.
Prodigy (rapper, Mobb Deep): “Quiet Storm” was originally for my solo record. It got a lot of airplay before we commercially released it. We changed the plan and made it a Mobb Deep record. We needed a female element, and we got Kim. She wrote her verse right there in the studio. She did it quick. I didn’t touch it.
