Is Nicki Minaj the undisputed GOAT female rapper?

[Barney Rubble]

It's a shame Lady of Rage didn't have the career she deserved. I never even looked at her as a dope female MC, just a dope MC, period.

Prime Lady of Rage would've embarrassed Nicki something serious

No she wouldn’t. There isn’t a female rapper that has existed that could wash Nicki. Lauryn included. Just naming female emcees you respect more isn’t the answer. She’s like the Lebron of female rappers. Top 2 in every category damn near with longevity putting her over the top. She need to drop a real album tho. She bout to be a legacy act already

Edit: and I don’t like Nicki at all but this seems obvious

I'll repeat it again

Lady of Rage mutilates Nicki and embarrasses her nasaly ass

Hell no. Maybe not on those crafted Nicki type songs. Several of the women mentioned in this thread would destroy her if you just threw on a variety and told them to drop a 16. Her bars are very rudimentary at times and all that weird accent/inflection zany shyt won't hold up to a prime Lyte, Digga or Rage dropping straight bars. She would be exposed. I remember the DVD days before the surgery and Harajuku Barbie get up rhyming OKAY over Warning and other instrumentals. She can't hang in a cipher or any shyt like that. She's lucky the likes of Nitty Scott and 3D Natee never blew up, her reign could have been cut short. They rap better AND look good.

I can tell a lot of ya'll that are saying Nicki is the GOAT never listened to The Score

I can tell a lot of ya'll that are saying Nicki is the GOAT never listened to The Score, Dirty Harriet, Lyte As A Rock, Eyes On This, Blowout Comb, Necessary Roughness, Attack Of The Attacking Things, and probably about 10 others

Does Nicki Minaj have a full rap album? She has songs where she's singing and hardly rapping on all of her albums and not to mention, she has full blown Katy Perry type songs on the second album. What's even crazier is she made the WOAT song when she dropped the abomination known as "Stupid Hoe".

Nicki Minaj raps on her albums more than Lauryn Hill rapped on her one solo album

I agree, Stupid Hoe was trash, but at least she put out more than one album, which each had more bars than Miseducation, which is a magnificent album, but she sings on it more than she raps. That shyts a neo soul album bruh

there is no evidence lauryn had writers for her raps...half her album was r&b so yes, there were writers involved. and lauryn absolutely was being mentioned in overall GOAT convos from 97-02...her lack of follow up and general personal life fukkery got her booted out the mix

Nicki as a GOAT This is pop music at its finest.

This basic, corny ass shyt? Really? I don't like Nicki that much and know she has much better

Never listened to a MC Lyte album. My earliest memories from her were Rock The Party and Keep Keepin On.

I like some of Nicki's verses and can see that she is top 10 but Lauryn Hill, Rah Digga, Mia X, and Remy are better rappers than Nicki. She has no case for GOAT status. Ya'll can keep that overrated ass Monster verse too

"Flow tighter than a dikk in a butt"
- Nicki Minaj

Lauryn Hill would never say no basic ass shyt like that

FOH

 

[Brandsdale]

toss up between Missy and Lil Kim

Listen to Lyte's first two albums, realize her age at the time, and it'll be clear why she's the Rakim of female rap. For the era, she was SMOKING shyt. Then, she went along to have a sustained career and have those hits you mentioned.

toss up between Missy and Lil Kim

Absolutelt not.

It doesn't matter that she has more albums. We all know Nicki isn't revered for anything off of those albums as an MC. When people talk about Nicki Minaj being elite, it's the verse on "Monster" that's referenced. With Lauryn Hill, you could pick verses from The Score or even her own singles.

People want to put Nicki Minaj in a GOAT just because. Yes, I would concede to her having one of the GOAT flows of any female MC, but otherwise she's limited.
