Is the Future of Female Rappers Dependent on Nicki Minaj? [VIDEO]

Sep, 3 2010 | Written by ATLien
Nicki Minaj is featured in the recent issue of Paper Magazine rocking a Blonde look. She’s been every color under the sun and always rocks it!

Nicki’s debut album drops November 24th and some in the music industry feel that the success of her album is important to the future of the female rapper.

Considering the fact that BET just completed a documentary on ladies in hip-hop [Click HERE to watch], I find it hard to believe that the weight of all female mc’s falls on one particular person.

Check but what one industry insider is saying:

According to DJ Greg Street:

Nov 24 nicki’s album will drop. It is important to the future of the female rapper that this cd does well.

If Nicki is the most highly anticipated & doesnt sell a lot of cds, it will set the female rap game back another 5 to 10 years. If she sells crazy, a lot more female artist will get signed to real situations.

Corporate America are followers, somebody has to lead. So stop hatin & go get the cd when it comes out. Trust me.

I personally disagree. If Nicki’s project is a top seller, that means she’ll be the next Lil Wayne…. i.e. on everybody’s ish! That in now way indicates that female rappers won’t get any play. I wish people would stop putting the weight of the female rap world on NM’s shoulders.

I mean seriously… is she really that great? Or just very well marketed??

What do you guys think?

Is the future of all female rappers in the hands of Nicki Minaj?

  Hell no I really don’t like her music it’s more for the teens and in betweens give me some Eve any day or some old school r&b and I’m good 🙂

  He makes sense, but I rather support MC Keys.

  I personally do not think the future of RAP should ONLY be placed on Nicki’s shoulders…i mean really though, lets get real. It has been PLENTY of female rappers who show plenty of sex appeal in 2000 and up! SO lets keep it 100 folks, dont trip on my GIRL NICKI bc she is only doing her. And to me she can really rap and battle rap, unlike Trina, Kiya etc….
- BigBootyGoddess
  
  hell no…. who can listen to her music without feeling or looking stupid reciting it…perhaps if she stops with all the gimmicks, but she probably cant cuz that’s what giving her the notoriety…. I know personally I will not be buying her cd… I just can’t support the foolishness, the many accents,baby voices, reciting the names of reindeers etc…too much for me… Im grown

  Nicki has some dope ass lines I ain’t even going to front. I don’t think the future of all female MC’s rest in her hands because she’s only shining for the moment and she’s made only to reach out to a certain genre of females in today’s society. Y’all just wait until Remy Ma comes out she’s going to kill the rap game !!

  Child Please! I can’t wait until that bird’s 5 mins of fame is up. She is annoying!
- Ladyrt23
  
  I understand the concept of what DJ Greg Street is saying. However, it puts female rappers in a catch 22. If we all support Nicki’s weak lyrics and plastic image, every female rapper has to emulate her to get their foot inside the door.
  
  I do want to congratulate her on her success no matter how i feel about her music. No one would have thought she’d get this big. So that’s a huge accomplishment. Yet, I do feel that she has more room to grow lyrically. I hope that will be taken into consideration.
- Essence
  
  I hope not! She is the corniest rapper of females out and who have been out. Her voice is annoying as hell. When a song plays and I hear her voice I’m immediately tuned out. I’m not buying!!!
- queen city gurl
  
  well …its always going to be neh sayers/negative people!!!!!!! Nicki is who she is, period point blank. She was influenced a lot by one of the best rappers "Lil Wayne". If you notice Wayne switches it up a lot from his voice to his lyrics….Nicki to me is the girl version of Wayne. Of course she needs more growth but WHO DOESN’T…SOME OF THESE COMMENTS ARE DUMB AND SIMPLY HATE!
- Enid Rogers
  
  OMG GAGIRL87…I think you read my mind. She’s so overrated.

  If it is this would surely make me finally hope to God NOT & I’m an atheist lol.
