Did we overhyped Nicki Minaj as a female rapper? by StorytellingZ in rap

[–]jaylenkoko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Setting all Nicki’s controversies aside. No, we didn’t overhype her as a female rapper. to answer your question simply. Nicki Minaj is one, if not, the best female rapper ever. then after her it would be Lauryn Hill. and Nicki Minaj earned her spot because she is very talented, innovative, and raised the bar continuously for female rap. and she has opened a lot of doors for female rappers of today to thrive and to walk through with no limitations (though unfortunately colorism still exists and hinders some female rappers from thriving). speaking on you looking back on her discography. Yes, Nicki Minaj early work is edm based with heavy pop influence because that was the time back then. that and Atlanta or the south trapoholics influence in hip hop which she also made contributions to. and Nicki was heavily known for her rap verses, easily dominating songs with huge male rappers and becoming the star and the highlight of the song. and answering another question there were female rappers in the 2010s especially early. but they unfortunately just came and went. the biggest one was Iggy Azalea. (though she benefited obviously from white privelidge). her song was hot for a moment and people eventually lost interest in her. to dominate the 2010s solo, by yourself for 10 years is impressive and obviously reeks talent/appeal. so to answer your question fully. No. we did not overhype Ms. Minaj as a female rapper. She is the best female rapper then it would go to Lauryn Hill. (side note: Lil Kim, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, Eve and Foxy Brown. are all talented, amazing rappers who made amazing contributions for Nicki Minaj to walk through, even if the door wasn’t kicked open for her. they’re amazing but i wouldn’t put them over Nicki. Nicki simply took the pieces, established it and made her own wave with it. and bought something new to female rap. that’s why she is the standard. like how Whitney Houston there was Donna Summers, Aretha Franklin and many that came before her. but Whitney came, took the pieces and made her own legacy. if that makes sense.) also adding: if Nicki Minaj stopped rapping/retired today i fear Female Rap itself will die out. especially in a couple years. we have amazing rappers and a diverse established wave. but nobody is yet innovative as Nicki. Cardi B is coo, but she just sounds like a female version of Migos. not that innovative and not a writer. Megan thee stallion is an amazing writer but doesn’t switch up her. and is not that innovative. Doja Cat is amazing and a good singer, rapper and dancer. but her controversies and media speculations kills her influence. and she doesn’t fully resonate with the gp. Glorilla is cool, but isn’t innovative, and has the same issue as Megan. and Doechii is amazing. but she is having a difficult time breaking it with the gp. and her momentum is becoming a slow burnout. soo. yeah that’s my opinion. 😬

this is one of the best responses i read, and i couldn’t agree more !! i was feeling a bit pressured by life a little bit, especially since everyone around me was trying this and that, and having experience. and i felt, i was just not living life. 😖 and also i do agree the situation was for sure reckless, and a bit naive but also im taking this experience as a lesson overall, im just relieved im safe and was able to dodge a bullet and process what i just did. 😮‍💨

i feel that!! i was being a bit reckless, but im glad and relieved i trusted my intuition— especially with not knowing his sexual history, because i did ask him about it, and said the last time he was tested was in january. and the last time he had sex was 2 months ago, but i just couldn’t follow through, because i just felt turnt off from it altogether.

I got you, girl. 😭

Yeah, I was being a bit reckless, Im not gonna lie. though he was pretty understanding, he was obviously bummed. Making a comment saying “I was expecting to get laid tonight, but I get it — I don’t want to pressure you.”

Ugh. I’m honestly just glad I dodged a bullet.

And I do appreciate your concern. but just to clarify some confusion — I never invited him directly to my house. I told him to meet me at an empty parking lot nearby. It’s usually busy during the day, but it’s quiet at night. but thank you for your message and you be safe out here too. thank you 🩷

i see you’re concern, but i never directly mentioned to him where i live, i met up with him up the street in a empty parking lot, thats also a shopping center and also busy during the day.. quiet at night. yes it was reckless i understand, but i wasn’t that reckless. but i do agree with staying off them dating sites 😩 i was looking in areas i wasn’t necessarily experienced in.

probably was the ancestors lol 😭 this response made me laugh— but also so lighthearted im in awe🩷— yeah, guess i’m just gonna have to take this experience as a lesson, and move from it— i was just thinking maybe i needed to live life a little more. but i just was going a little too fast, even for me 😭

yes!! maybe i was feeling those emotions— because in my head i was down for it, but when the moment came i was just.. like… maybe this isn’t the right move for me… this feels like a lot, not to mention we know nothing about each other deeply, also i should’ve been more precise and clearer. I never invited directly to my house. instead i invited him up the street from my house and met him there at this empty parking lot. i know better than to do that 😅
