Right. Nicki's versatile, but I wouldn't necessarily call her creative, much less more creative than M.I.A,

MIA for me definitely. She was doing her own thing with Diplo and other artists for a while before they became mainstream staples. Between her unique image, seizure-inducing videos and album art, and early on her use of her heritage's sound was sampled in her work and more recently, her embrace of digital noise and industrial soundscapes in her last LP, MIA is a creative force. She may not have the strongest raps or flows, but she has no gimmicks and writes what she knows and believes in, even if it makes her unpopular.

Azaelia has a sick flow and a lot of great beats so early on, but I think it's too early to tell if she's anything sort of a visionary mind.

Def MIA. She's on the border between a legit artist and musical genius Why cant Nicki ever be included in a thread without the side comments? Some of you unintentionally let her get the best of you

[EyesOpen]

M.I.A. is one of the most creative artists today.

[pika]

Nicki, then MIA, then Azealia.

Her flow is almost always changing, and her vocal style is really diverse. It's always unexpected as to how she'll rap.

I will hand it to Nicki that she has a nice delivery and uses her voices in a..... unique way, but her cadence and flow are generally homogenous with most of 2011-2012 rap.

Really? Honestly, Azealia sounds exactly the same on each track I've heard from her. Not knocking her or anything, but I mean...

Nicki's flow is much more versatile than Azealia's; I'd say Nicki's flow is more versatile than most rappers on the map. You don't have to even analyze it, it's that obvious, IMO. Just comparing her delivery from Itty Bitty Piggy to Monster to Roman Holiday to Come on a Cone to Whip It to the breakdown in Automatic/beginning of Beautiful Sinner... who else is doing it? Just saying.
