1. She said she wasn't taking anything away from the girls who came before her, and that she was best female rapper out now.
2. She is a better lyricist than both Missy and Trina. I don't know why people are mentioning them.
3. She has surpassed Kim.
You guys stay trying your hardest to discredit Nicki as an MC. I don't get why. She has put in her work and proven that she can spit. You all have that mentality that whoever came before is automatically better [than her], and Nicki fans are young and delusional if they think otherwise. Don't jump on that bandwagon, because as I said before she is a better lyricist than the likes of Missy and Trina(not to take away from them though, becuz they are talented). Don't let the success take a toll on your brain.
I don't want to be that guy and start listing a bunch of ****, but her first mixtape 'Playtime Is Over' is a masterpiece and is amongst her best body of work. You should listen to it, if you haven't already.
For that 1...2 punch out,
Nicki is the most successful female rapper with and without her pop receipts and for bonus credentials, Lil Kim, Trina, Missy, Foxy, Eve and others were NEVER compared to male rappers or placed in a Top 5 rapper conversation. Nicki is the only female being placed in those topics and it's a testament to HER talent not a knock to those other girls.
Surely, Kim and others had to come before to allow Nicki to sit in the spot she does today but that doesn't make those people better than her.
Old /=/ better.
Lastly as Nicki said, greatest female rapper is a title the people give you and she's been given that title consistently from 2010 to now from fans, hip-hop heads, pop listeners, her peers/contemporaries (like Kanye and Jay whom so many of you kiss ass to but suddenly their opinions don't mean anything when it comes to Nicki right? lol), industry big names and critics across multiple genres. I highly doubt it's kissing ass at this point or those articles, tweets and other forms of acceptance would have completely stopped going to Nicki and went to another female rapper.

So she's sold the most albums
She's won the most grammy's
She's produced the most classic hits.
Most of her 65M are from features and pop hits not her hip hip hots. Receipts validate that.
That said your other points are valid but be objective her success in sales are not mainly from her album sales or her hip hop album cuts.

You guys try WAAAY To hard to put her ON TOP of all the OTHER Female Rappers.
Be HUMBLE, This is her 3RD ALBUM Missy HAS 6 PLatinum albums will NICKI even SEEE Album 5?
you base all your statements on OPINION, Real Hip Hop fans KNOW Nicki is GREAT BUT SHE IS NOT The best rapper out NOW or EVER.

Lol, don't try to generalize an entire fanbase. I don't do anything of the sort.
This is exactly why I don't like engaging in discussions with y'all. No one is talking about success. My point about Nicki being a better lyricist than Missy stands. No matter how many of her albums went platinum.

Lies!!...Kim and Foxy were known as great rapper's and were respected and can hang with the guys and in some cases out do them back when Rap was much more competitive and some of the heavyweights like Jay and EM were at their best
Nicki has better punchlines, better flows, and rap than any female rapper today or now. So yes she is the best when it comes to RAP as a RAPPER then yes.
She did everything all the other female rappers did and better and kept a complete lock on things the entire time.
I could go on and on. She's loved and respected harder than the rest. She's worked with all the greats personally multiple times at that. And I'm talking greats who have been around longer than any female rapper career and yet they all reach out to Minaj.
No female rapper has had a better overall run than Nicki. Shes the self made female rapper who was already a star before she ever signed to a label. Shes honestly the truth
