She rapped a hardcore verse on a pop single...shared with 5 other people. And even Lady Marmalde isn't as typical cheese pop as Dr. Luke productions and songs that sound like white girl anthems
Plus that was just an appearance, it wasn't like it was Kim's song and that was a remake of an old Soul groups hit record anyway, it's not like they re did Show Me Love or something
Listen, I'm not saying female rappers need to put themselves in a box. They can do mainstream/more universal kind of songs while still sticking to their roots. Missy has done it a few times, as has Eve. Let Me Blow Your Mind while still amainstream smash, still had a very Urban sound. Same with Lose Control etc.
I'm just not here for acting like songs that sound like Katy Perry's Roar, and Hollaback Girl are *breaking barriers for rap music* because

Macklemore teas.
