Kinda shocking they put Cardi B over Doja Cat and Doechii when they can rap circles around Cardi and are 1000x better performers but oh well 

 

Nicki being #1 is no surprise either since she's forever the Queen of Rap 💋

 

Any thots on this list? 

[Pheromosa]

Move Nicki to #26 

[ToMmY]

Imagine thinking that rat is better than Missy.

[Kimi]

greatest female rapper of all time but not a single good album?

She has several please. Stop acting dense. 

 

Nicki's cadence and rap skill is unmatched. That's why all the new girls are inspired by it. It's never going to change boo.

The Pinkprint is right there.

[John Slayne]

Nicki rightfully number 1

 

we may not like her antics or opinions but she washes everyone else on that list in almost every aspect, it's a bit delusional to deny her talent just because she's messy 

[50thStateofMind]

Lauryn should be #1

 

[suburbannature]

Not even Billboard believes this

This for real. Hate her personality, love her rapping. This list is about the 'best rapper' overall so she is rightfully #1... That's a pretty perfect Top10 to be honest.

 

I woud put Doechii and Megan over Cardi though. Cardi has one flow, one way of rapping whereas the Megan, Doechii and Doja are more versatile and interesting overall

[Robyn.]

Doechii below Latto is crazy...

 

Doja Cat is also leagues above Cardi B...

[Wicked]

This list is awful 

 

Billboard does not know ball,as expected. Why is Cardi even ranked?

They are brave for putting Nicki at #1 - people don't want to hear that truth. She is the biggest female rapper of all time, and birthed and influenced an entire generation.

 

Where they really ****** up is putting Cardi over Megan, Doechii and Doja  Her being at #11 automatically makes this list TRASH.

[Slamless]

Azealia is a better rapper than [redacted #] ladies on this list, argue with the wall. 

 

 

I'd put foxy a little higher but at least she's top 10; as much as I love Kim I'd personally rate fox a bit more, too bad Inga is such a mess. Despite having a better body of work than a huge chunk of the girls on here, Cardi at 11  is  

 

Interested that Tierra is here, if they wanted to include more modern-day "indie" picks think Noname or even Little Simz would be over Tierra. 

[NEX]

I agree Nicki is the best/most skilled female rapper of all time, but I also agree she has no body of work to show for it. None of the new girls do actually. 

[CovalentBondage]

Azealia, Doechii and Doja can rap circles around majority of this list.

[chaneloberlin]

Billboard are harassing us at this point with these lists that absolutely no one has asked for

 

[K$Ellie]

the way no actual music or rap fans listen to Nicki, if anything they'd mention Lauren or Missy or even Kim but Nicki doesn't even have a single good album

[supaspaz]

Is this an editorial list or just another chart list? Because if it’s the former…

[king_queen]

Both Megan and Doechii deserve to be top 10. They can rap CIRCLES around the vast majority of that list.

 

Cardi 

[Bussea]

cardi being that ******* high is a joke  

[DevilsRollTheDice]

Nicki truly deserves. Delusional to say she doesn't have good albums, too. She may put out some ****, but her influence/skill is truly undeniable. Lots of fantastic music, too. My personal feelings towards her are not positive whatsoever, but I can still accept that truth.

 

Rest of the list is a bit of a mess!

Megan doesn't deserve top 500
