In 2010, Nicki Minaj was the talk of Hip Hop as she carried on the baton, which was passed to her by label mate Drake. She broke many records like becoming the first artist to have seven songs on the Billboard 100 simultaneously, the first woman MC to ever collaborate with Eminem and perform at Yankee Stadium (sold out) amongst other record breaking accomplishments. With all those in the bag, Nicki has achieved her biggest accomplishment by far as she has gone certified platinum on her debut album Pink Friday less than two months after its release. After having the highest first week sales in Rap/Hip Hop for a female MC (Lauryn Hill’s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is categorized as R&B genre with 422,000) Nicki came out of the gate on fire even though Lil’ Kim tried to put it out with her diss track “Black Friday”. I’d really like to see these two queens come together and make even more Hip Hop History but regardless Nicki Minaj is the hottest femal rapper in the game right now and is breaking records left and right and as Jay said “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t”. With the numbers that Micki is putting no one can take that crown from her as the queen of Hip Hop right now and it definitely helps that she’s got the creativity, artistry and most importantly bars to back it up! (That’s not the only thing she can back up though! DAMN Nicki!)
