An undeniable skill we’ve never seen before always intrigues us, especially in music, specifically Rap and Hip-Hop. Skills such as rapping the fastest, switching up flows in one verse, and even the important word choice. Rap/ Hip-Hop has developed throughout the 90s, early 2000s, and present days. When we listen to rap music, it’s usually a male artist. If we’re asked who’s our favorite rapper, we mainly think of a male rapper. Since 2009, there hasn’t been a female leader or mogul in the rap industry. Nicki Minaj has the longevity of the highest-selling female-rapper. Because we’re so used to males “dominating” the music industry, I find it supreme that Minaj has changed that perspective and showed the world that women can also be dominant. She has proved her talent through the work she puts out to the world like being versatile and working with artists of different genres such as Latin, country, and pop. Not only has she featured on many male artists’ songs and impressively showed her lyrical strength, but Minaj also influences women and young girls to go after what they want and to never depend on anyone, especially a man.
