For 2014: Nicki Minaj is NOT the best rapper alive. That is a ludicrous statement. Even though she had a decent year in 2014, you can't forget Drake who has practically had a hit single on the radio since 2010, and newer artists such as J. Cole and Logic had huge years arguably both having the "Best Hip-hop Album of the Year." To me Nicki wouldn't make my top ten best artists list.
ReplyDeleteEven though I may not have the greatest insight on the topic, I agree with Perry. I think Nicki is a good rapper and it definitely looks like she held her own in 2014. But when you look at all the other names on the list, I feel like she doesn't even compare. I'm not sure who I'd replace her with, but I definitely think this is more a case of the commercialization of hip-hop.
