Young Money's Nicki Minaj made sure to feel herself last night (December 16) during a CRWN interview and declared her greatness amongst media.
According to reports, Minaj gave props to music stars like Beyoncé Knowles-Carter but also dished on her own talent.
“I think about all the female icons that we cherished and loved, and they never had children. Like Janet – I personally love what Beyoncé has been able to do. I want to focus on the child,” Nicki said. “I am the greatest female rapper, and it’s humbling because the people make you that. I wanna let the hip-hop culture know I take this serious.” (CRWN)

Nicki recently appeared on sports network ESPN to talk about her upcoming The Pinkprint solo album.
“Yes, I’m selling an album,” Nicki said during her appearance on ESPN. “It’s like an emotional love story and it’s all these amazing things I’ve been going through last year put on one album. [Will it be a real album?] Absolutely. And you’ll love it.” (ESPN)
According to reports, Nicki’s team tried to patch up the album’s release following a leak last week.
Fans rushed to listen to and download the tunes, which include a new collaboration with Beyonce, titled “Feeling Myself,” but her label reps have moved quickly to get the unauthorized tracks taken down from a number of online sources by filing copyright complaints. A message posted on Audiomack.com, in place of a stream of the superstar duet, reads: “This song has been removed from audiomack due to a DMCA complaint.” (San Fran Gate)
maybe the greatest Pop rapper but Gwen Stefani might have something to say about that.
Well she is but that aint really saying much.
None of her albums are better than LiL Kim hardcore
of course not. Biggie wasnt able to write any of Nickis like he did Kims lol
First off, everyone associated with that album has credited Kim, faggot.
Second, even post Biggie, Kim’s albums shit on Nicki’s. Now go play with your Barbies while singing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Starships in the Sky’. Faggot
We’re never gonna know the truth. No one is gonna throw Kim under the bus. What can’t be disputed is we know B.I.G. helped her. I’ll take Kim over Nicki tho. Nicki is eye candy but to me she can’t spit. lol.
you sure are mad huh? just hold on little guy. one day you wont be so angry lol
You’re the one who got mad when someone referenced Kim. Just hold on tight little Nigger, one day you’ll be equal… NOT! Lmao !!
awww you used racial slurs. and you couldnt tell my previous comment was sarcasm. youre a little stupid arent you? its ok little guy. your day is coming soon
Get back to your corner, NIGGER. Play your position.
or what?
HAHAHA. lol.
Im not sure how she defines “greatest”
She’s not the greatest Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, lady of Rage, foxy brown, Eve would rap circles around this broad in their prime.
So f-cking what if she feels this way, every rapper at some point say they are the greatest i see nothing wrong with that. so what if a female thinks she is the best rapper female raper, why is some people clutching there pearls over this, some of you people loves to be all up in y’all feelings over the wrong f-cking things.she have a right to feel any type of way like everyone else.
.
ShE Super DoPE!! BuT ComparEd to GreaTest ThaTs L BoogiE hands Dwn !! Listen to her Album..lol..during a time when hip hop was on fire!! Pac ,Big ,jay z , Em ,pun, Wu, Etc…come on,lol, maybe right now she the hottest hands DwN !! So yea I’m clutching nigga!!
She THE best ccurrent female when all catetories are considered
she is right now..not of all time and its not saying much..who is her comp?..but give her props and if u bring gwen Stefani and hiphop up in a m.c. convo whether its pop/hip hop u should stab yourself!
She’s a POP star who has built a career off of copying & tracing other people’s work and selling it to children.
She might be successful, but she is not a ‘GREAT’ rapper…at all.
I’m sure Lauryn Hill & MC Lyte will disagree lol. S**t i’ll take Rage, Heather B and Bahamadia over her too.
Greatest Female Rapper equals Lauryn Hill! Period….. if you think not, you just lost one! And Lauryn wasn’t plastic nor showing of all her assests and twerking all over the place getting ass shots, speaking lesbian talk etc…. to acheive the goal.
