Nicki Minaj Puts Female Rap Back On the Map: Pink Friday reintroduced female rap into the mainstream

- Billboard

 

I felt like I had something to prove to everyone who said a female rapper could not make an album unless she was talking about her *****. And so I went above and beyond to prove that I could not talk about sex and not talk about my genitalia and still have a successful album. And I proved that. And now my time for proving things to my critics is over. I don’t really need to prove anything to anyone else anymore.

THE queen of rap

mother

Moment 4 Life has deserved to be her first No. 1 hit.

This era was so iconic and she was so beloved. Idk why people turned on her so hard with PFRR. 

Damn I remember when she released Massive Attack and people hated it

 

Then YL came out and the rest was history 

The female rapper of MY generation, what an iconic album and an iconic debut.

A classic
