Huh?

She can still chart decently with solo songs (though their longevity isn't good) but the point is her music quality overall is garbage, including features.

This is likely a mixed result of being too comfortable at the "top", the rise of Cardi B and the many new methods of how fans can obtain music and boost sales artificially.

Nicki needs features. And good ones.

Her solo s*** doesn't do well anymore. I loved Barbie Dreams and it flopped.

??

Maybe now that her stans are buying her s*** again she will chart high, but she's pregnant right now, so no clue if she will drop the album or wait.

myh was going top 5 but ferg messed it up and it still went #19

trollz #1

expensive bout to be #72

I loved Barbie Dreams too, but she was repeating herself. She did that concept over a decade ago, maybe people think her solo ideas are stale.

Tbh tho i don't think this is a real fall off people just go through this stage with artists with runs as long as hers. They get annoyed at the personalities, but they're probably still listening to the music so it doesn't really effect them at all. Same thing happened in pop with Taylor's last 2 album cycles before this one. People will love Nicki again eventually

myh is fergs highest charting song and it was going top 5

yall keep this same energy with jcole

But it was funny and she was going at everyone :(

It was also whack compared to their other collabo, but Nicki's stans weren't buying her s*** back then.

It was 10 times better.

I thought it would blow up tbh. Maybe she should have got some of the guys in the video or something.

It wasn't a complete flop tho, probably went gold or plat. Maybe the sound held it back, it's hard to have hits with that old school hip hop sound. Ik it wouldn't have worked as well without the Biggie reference, but maybe if she'd dropped those bars over a more current beat it would have been big. FeFe showed she could still have popular songs, people played that song for both of them, not just him.

why did they stop buying her music?

They could have also shot a video for Majesty. Even though I want Em to do an actual rap song with her, both spitting, no pop rap singing. And something serious.

Yeah, Nicki killed Fefe. Love her verse.

Taking a break hurt her career. And also helped Cardi blow up.

It was a weird moment. She was just dating Meek all day.

I think she sounds great on Trollz too.

Why doesn't she make songs with Drake anymore, that seems like a way to help her next project commercially. He sampled her on Scorpion so it doesn't seem like they're trying to distance themselves

That being said No Frauds seemed to flop. But that was also just cos people wanted a response to shether

I liked Nicki on No Frauds, but I didn't like their verses. It seemed kinda fake since Meek was beefing with Drake right before.

I don't think Nicki and Drake are close at all. They might say it when they drop albums to keep the fans happy, but I really doubt it. That Meek beef hurt the relationship.

And I think full YM support (Wayne, Drake and Tyga) is very important for a Nicki comeback.

nicki and drake beefin

also nicki turned no frauds into a diss record so it changed the spirit of the song. I feel like if it did way better she probably wouldve dropped an album in 2017

also no frauds is eligible for 2x platinum so not terrible

tyga and drake not even ym...

its been 10 years you cant be on top forever. hardly any female rapper has longetivity like that

literally only rapper to be on top commercially for ten years is drake

I know. But nostalgia.

Think saying Cardi did to Nicki what Nicki did to Kim is wrong.

Kim was long gone by the time nicki popped up, no one was checking for her or female rap like that.

Nicki came to an empty throne and showed people that she’s fit to sit in it.

Cardi came at the end of Nicki’s career, making Nicki realize her time was up and heralding the start of an entire tidal wave of female rappers.

I dont see how that relevant to people being better at rapping then nicki that b**** is basic as hell

There's tons of relevant rappers bro.
