99% of the women in mainstream rap suck to varying degrees, this is nothing to be proud of...
None of them know how to make an album or not be overly reliant on samples. People already blowing it out of proportion. She opened the door for more mid to trash artists.

He's right. Working for new artists, doing remixes for hot songs etc keeps you relevant. Especially when you're a big artist like her.
Regardless of the poor quality, it's a good thing that the market for women rappers has expanded beyond the typical "only 1-2 are allowed to be relevant" situation of the past. That's a good thing not only for the artists but fans. I just hope at some point it benefits a dedicated artist, whereas now it's kind of just a label game to finding malleable internet trolls and reality tv castoffs to dress up as rap superstars.

I get his point but how many of them are really successful? A lot of them fall by the wayside after a single or two and most can't even make it far enough to put out a project and those that do it's utter trash and forgotten about the next day. So I get that she opened the door but none are really worthy of walking through it. A bunch of sexed up stripper rap that ages quicker than milk and guacamole. I'm not gonna start putting all the blame on the women rappers b/c the new guys putting out trash too. Talent pool is garbage all round for all genders.
Itβs done out of necessity, not virtue. Sheβs been cold as ice musically and still hasnβt found enough success as a single artist to put out a second album. Sheβs latching on to new female rappers because sheβs chasing a hit.
