New fledging female rapper Nicki Minaj is being called the new ‘Queen of Hip Hop’ after her short time as a rapper in the eyes of the world. It’s possibly certain that Nicki Minaj has filled a void in the rap scene as there hasn’t been many female rappers to make such a big presence and impact in some time, but is she deserving already of the ‘Queen Of Hip Hop?’
In a special feature with Rolling Stone, the magazine discusses a number of things with Nicki Minaj and even asks her about being openly gay.
Anyone would admit that the short stint of this honor of royalty is not worthy when compared to others given similar titles such as Michael Jackson, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, T.I., R. Kelly and even Elvis Presley for that matter. If anything, one would refer to Minaj in the title “Princess of Hip Hop” if only for her young career. If the entire spread was basing it on talent and other factors such as longevity, it would take more than one album to reach such royalty, just ask Mary J. Blige, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul.
The Young Money Entertainment artist Nicki Minaj has gotten many co-signs including one from Kanye West who says she could be the number two rapper of all time. Kanye West admits that it’s one rapper that Nicki Minaj won’t be able to out-do and that’s Eminem.
Now the real question is, has there really been a Queen of Hip Hop? Some fans and critics have referred to Queen Latifah being the Queen of Hip Hop, while others have referred to Lil Kim and even prior references to MC Lyte and Roxanne Shante. We know in fact that Mary J. Blige is the undisputed Queen of Hip Hop Soul, but who really has been referred to as Queen of Hip Hop?
One thing is for sure, Nicki Minaj has admitted that acting is her thing and she is possibly more inspired as an actress before rapper, so giving Minaj a title of ‘Queen Of Hip Hop’ so quickly could possibly be a tad bit premature for someone who could possibly exit quickly.

WHAT ARE Y’ALL SMOKIN? Kim is the Queen All Day! She’s th founder of that swag…get a freakin clue dummies…lol
Simple enough no she’s not a queen or even a princess…maybe a jester cause she’s such a clown…
THATS AN INSULT TO HIPHOP STRAIGHT UP, EVEN IF REAL HIPHOP IS ALREADY DEAD, YOU CANT CROWN HER, WTFFFFFFF???????????????? Nikki is all about glitz ,glammer,& swagger jacking (lil Kim Gaga anyone) IM NOT USUALLY A HATER BUT I TRIED LIKING NIKKI, THE BITCH IS JUST TOO FAKE, PUSSY AND PHONY FOR MY TASTE, how you gonna talk outta both sides of your mouth meaning, speak highly of someone then talk $hit on them all in the same conversation? How is paying homage to someone TOTALLY stealing/jacking their swagger? How did you look up to someone/ was inspired by them growing up but talk $hit on them in your songs and interviews then when asked deny you did the $hit? Nikki is a gassed up, overglamorized phony,punk little twit that dont even Rep New York nor Trinidad. Let the crown stay with Queen Latifa or Lil Kim (whichever way you wanna look at it) and let Nikki Minage a Twat create her OWN style for a change, put in some more years and experience AND ACTUAL HIP HOP MUSIC INSTEAD OF THIS GARBAGE, BUBBLEGUM, POP HIPHOP , and then we’ll tally the votes until then……………SHUT THE F_CK UP B!TCH, CREATE SOME MORE ALTEREGOES, NIKKI LEWINSKY, SUCK ANOTHER d!CK NIKKI LEWINSKY TO GET ANOTHER JOB FROM PRESIDENT WAYNE. i’VE SAID EOUGH i WISH i COULD SEE THIS FAKE BITCH FACE TO FACE, AND TO ALL YOU Nikki fans, F_ck you too. I’d like Remy Ma to take back the crown she’s still entitled, and really murk ya ass both ways you fake ass wannabe black barbie.
Queen Latifah is queen of hip hop and always will be
LIL KIM IS THE QUEEN SO BOW TO YOUR QUEEN.. lil princess..
