  • Nicki Minaj is often recognized as one of the most prominent women in the music industry. But despite her success, she's had her fair share of what a lot of people would label as mistreatment in the business. Follow along as I explain why there's some truth to that perspective.

    Beyoncé does not even give co-signs to artist on her label, but every female rapper want Nicki to acknowledge them and if she doesn’t it’s beef. Crazy.

      @@kyasmith1956They don’t do it with Drake though? You don’t see male rappers who’ve been in the game 3 or so years dissing him if they don’t get a feature or using him for a quick hit. All the male rappers have their own lane and fans. Female rappers want a piece of the barbs instead of working to build their own fan bases like Nicki did. Nicki sold mixtapes from her car and now she has to co-sign every new rapper or she’s evil?? People aren’t in the game for talent or the love of music anymore that’s just it lol.

    Problem is when Nicki came in the game major record labels wanted her to sign a 360 deal like the main female rappers of the past signed (Lil kim, Lauryn, Missy, Foxy etc.) She didn’t take it and instead proved her way organically with mixtapes, live performances and building her fanbase, thus giving her more leverage for a better deal. Now, because she owns a high percentage of her profits the Industry can’t control her so they want to ruin and replace her with another female that they can profit off of and control. It's a sleazy business tactic

    I think something people fail to realize is that Nicki was probably waiting for a time when she felt personally that she was established. Cause Remy put it best during an interview where she stated," I can see why she didn't fool with some of these girls." She's in a new era where she now feels comfortable enough to mentor and give back. The best way to sum up the reason why half these girls never got that helping hand. It's because half of them wanted to be Nicky, not to be taught by her and mentored. And for me, that sounds like their problem.

    The last time hip hop had a strong, deep, diverse collection of female artist was late 90s to 2007. Since then the space shrunk because the artist began to look and sound alike. Nikki took from the foundation and carved a lane that female rappers can’t fill. Her reaching back would’ve hindered her more than help due to the cycle of hip hop she came up in. She does deserve a Grammy fo sho. Not a fan and never bought an album but I respect what she has accomplished.

    I think this also speaks to the black female musician as a whole. Before Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday” I believe the last female rap album by a major label was Missy Elliott’s “The Cookbook” (2005). That’s a 5 year gap in between a major label putting money behind a black female rapper which hadn’t been the case since Foxy & Kim. No matter who you feel was at fault, Nicki revitalized a dying genre and has unfortunately had to endure labels trying to pillage from the aesthetic & sound she brought to the forefront.
    I don’t think any female rapper can outwork her though. & only a select few men have been able to.

In a recent interview remy mentioned how the shether record wasn’t a good idea on her part. I don’t think nicki wanted to do it alone but who could she trust? even now, shes helps a few but not everyone because she doesn’t know who the trust and doesn’t want to be used like anyone else wouldn’t.

    Guys if yall did listen to Nicki's speech and lines in the song then yall will understand why she didn't collaborate with lot of females than males. She considered herself as the best from other females so she also rather feature a male in the song and she will stand out cause she was fighting for the girls to be recognised through her. So she didn't want to feature a female back in the days cause back then the music industry it was male driven, so i think her strategy was to feature male artists then killed them in their song so that females can be recognised through her. Nicki Minaj is all about talent and bars, and it sad that people don't recognise her work back in the days. Nicki did everything for females to be be recognised she earned her status and if you look back Nicki Minaj did a record that made lot of females come out and that record was anaconda if you look before and after anaconda track came out you will see the difference. Females started sexualizing themselves more and they forget about the takent that is needed. Cardi b came out with an album which was good and it features good artists but The level of talent for me was not there, Cardi did work hard and for that she earned Grammy for her hard work and that why she is compared to Nicki. It is not wrong to be compared to your Idol, the thing is Nicki did not have reality show to boost her songs and albums. Nicki Minaj create her platforms such as Myspace and Twitter account to interact with her fans and promote her songs. Nicki Minaj had people who had power but she didn't use that to her advantage, she wanted to do things her own way so that she can be recognised as the best female artist to ever do it. Nicki don't have ghost writers but she is the ghost writer to male artists, and that makes her the Queen. She did everything to protect her and female rappers to be where they are now. The only thing that Nicki Minaj wanted was for Female Rappito be respected as artists as you guys respect the male artists, She wanted female to write for themselves that why in some of her songs she praise her pen. The only thing i will say don't Compare the incomparable.👍
