Lil Kim's Influence on Nicki Minaj, Did Future Take Trap Music to Mainstream? | Everyday Struggle

AK really disrespecting Bayern Munich.

The man don't even do drugs he can't speak for me I'm popping a can right now … Tf….

Ak capping bad Nicki can’t fuck with Kim in her prime‼️

I already know AK a simp so im speaking in general, for you to come out of your mouth and say that any artist in todays digital age. in an era where a bitch can sing a song about being a cow while wearing a furry cos play and make millions, to say that anybody NOW is better than anybody from a time where you could've been exalted for not writing your own shit, and castrated for spitting that hood shit, and not come from it, where criticism on lyrical ability was just as strong as movie criticism, where putting out single's and albums as well as promotion took time 100% blood, sweat, tears and overall effort without digital and barely minimal social media/media support in general, you are on a wave, you do shrooms and own travis scott merch, you know nothing about lyricism in rap and you are a disgrace to hip-hop, from the mouth of a hip-hop disciple Q-tip "rap is not pop until you call it that and stop" which is what most of rap is now, nicki minaj's most successful era is where she dwelled in the pop era since she took them wigs off, her music and image is tainted and waiting to be thrown in that damn whirlpool and I mean that shit because in no way is nicki minaj a better lyricist than lil kim you have to really be kissing ass to say this, nicki's verses are HELLA repetitive every track she say's the same shit, like she fills in blanks with old lyrics then switches them up to throw us off a little bit, you are not about to sit here listen to lil kims 4 minute solo diss track no chorus no ft, no label, non promoted "black Friday" then listen to nicki minaj's Eminem featured "romans revenge" and say wow "nicki murdered kim" when Eminem's ft was the only fire thing about that song or listen to Remy's solo 7 minute diss track shether, then turn around and listen to no frauds where she practically just sings the chorus and say "damn nicki is a pure, raw, straight lyricism" and it doesn't end with fashion the girl stole kims grunt and her deep voice and she got the flow from left eye, and lastly! when you're the product of the industry of course you're going to soar yet you can only soar so high until you burn up and burn out, when you're rooted like lil kim was its a different story kim, continues to get that homage and continues to fly at her altitude safe and comfortable, if lil kim hadn't went to prison this definitely wouldn't have been a question because kim had a lot of shit going on and a lot of opportunities that just didn't happen for her because she was constanly held back MY NIGGA MICHAEL JACKSON WANTED TO WORK WITH HER, GRACE JONES WANTED TO WORK WITH HER, PRINCE WANTED TO WORK WITH HER, DIANA ROSS IS HER GOD MOTHER AND PATTI LABELLE IS HER GOD AUNT, SHE'S AN ICON IN THE FASHION COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE LGBT COMMUNITY AS WELL AS IN MUSIC IN GENERAL, THERE ISN'T ONE SONG WRITER AND MUSIC PRODUCER THAT DOESNT LOVE HER EXCEPT WHITNEY AND BRITTNEY AND HEY WERE FOR TOTALLY DIFFERENT REASONS, AND EVEN THEY GOTTEN TO KNOW WHO SHE WAS AND CHANGED THEIR VIEWS OF HER AND LOVED/LOVED HER beyonce's payed that homage, toni Braxton has payed that homage, every female rapper as well as singers! both young and OG has credited her, and yes cardi can definitey say she was inspired by kim because nicki is inspired by kim, her stage presence (flashback to bet 2013 watch and learn) and like wayno said the fact that kim does nothing, yet she's trending and a topic damn near 30 years later, speaks volumes its lack of knowledge and respect for the game that make people say shit like this, like wayno said do your homework please.

8:11 Naseska looking like when you’re just there waiting while your mom talks to her friend at the store

Thank you wayno.

Akademics is outta his muthafuckin mind period

Ti took trap music to the mainstream. Why you think future recruited him for magic

Lyrically Kim got Nicki no cap ion care what anybody say…Kim is a legend if you are a real hip hop head you already know….not taking nothing from Nicki but also when KIm and them were coming up they had it hard AF, IDGAF about a Gramny's lol we dont judge somebody's whole career and impact offa GRAMMY ….Nicki is a product of KIM you cant deny that

Nadeska though??

T.I, Gucci and jeezy introduced and had success with with the trap music bringing it to the pop scene but future vandross BLEW that shit up and a brought it front and center mainstream to the pop genre

Kim Is better, period! Trend setter! The wigs the sexy style, the rhymes! Nicki isn’t on kim level, nor foxy level, nor remy ma level! Nicki garbage! If she wasn’t with young money nobody would care about her like that! That’s the truth! It’s the machine behind her that makes her big not her rhymes because her rhymes are garbage! Simple! Queen b all day!

Wayno should find a better job and a better group of people to call friends he's a fish out of water on complex

BRUH WAYNO IS BUGGING HE IS STUCK IN THE 90'S I FEEL MEN THAT COMPARE NICKI TO KIM DONT REALLY LISTEN TO FEMALE RAPPERS FOR REAL SO THEY GO FOR WHO THEY MOMPLAYE GROWING UP LOL

Gucci mane made that shit go “pop”

Kims smoking nicki’s boots! Kims washing nicki. Kim us arguably the greatest female mc ever! Lauryn is in that argument and you can chuck in foxy. Those 3 dont do fillers. Rate the queens pls. Rapsody will he in that cat soon too

'his one social outing of the year' ??

lil kim got a fan base? why they ain’t chart her album?

he is bother by akademiks saying Nicki is washing , washing was bothering his ass, yet they don't understand when we are bother by the word " product of " , isn't that funny?

Saying the student surpassed the master is not a bad thing. Just because Nicki is a better rapper doesn't take away Kim's legacy. Same with Pac. There are far better lyrically better than him. But his status in the game could never be undone. Yall gotta stop acting like saying Nicki a far better rapper is disrespect to Kim. To prove it let's start with Monster. What yall got?

Wigs and costumes don't equate to music standards, which Kim did not set. Nicki's lyrically out raps Kim and that's undebatable. Nicki been out here writing her own raps that've gone neck and neck with Jay, Kanye, Eminem, Wayne and Ludacris on tracks like Monster, Roman's Revenge, Go Hard and My Chick Bad, for example. Nicki be out rapping multiple men on 1 song by herself, like Monster, Motorsport, Big Bank, My Nigga remix, etc. And, Nicki be killing these pop collabs with the top girls, like Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah, Madonna, Britney, Katy, Christina and Avril. Nicki has surpassed Kim and nobody seems to wanna admit it. What Kim tried to do with crossovers and the Barbie image, Nicki blew it up 100x bigger and better, but y'all still wanna take Nicki's GLOBAL success and her international phenom's credit and give it all to Kim, which is dumb and insulting. Kim was nothing more than a rapper and a fashion statement. Nicki is a whole brand, actress, multi genre artist, writer, mogul and singer. She outdid Kim and it'd be nice if y'all would just admit it already.
