The whole "classic" mess is subjective and not factual
Not to mention a tad dated and very " I miss the 90s! no one SANGS anymore! 😩" ....IMO
what IS factual is that Nicki is still topping Spotify year end top stream lists for female artists - well over a decade into her career.
Not really a sufficient argument in 2022. You can clearly see whose albums are still being listened to by the general public. I mean, let's take a look.
Kanye has SIX albums on the Billboard 200 (one that was released on the same day as Nicki's debut well over a decade ago, wouldja look at that!)
Drake has SIX albums on the Billboard 200
Kendrick has THREE albums on the Billboard 200, a decade old one in the top 20.
Lil Wayne has an album on the Billboard 200
Future has an album on the Billboard 200
J. Cole has Three albums on the Billboard 200.
Biggie has an album on the Billboard 200
Eminem has 3 albums on the Billboard 200
All of which are hailed as notable messes in general.
Prince, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Hell... Hall and fucking OATES have old messes on the BB200. You know who doesn't? Nicki Mina, an artist that has NEVER been inactive. Now we can debate the semantics of the word "CLASSIC" all damn day but what is factual is that no one is consuming her albums in their entirety in the present day. Nicki Knows that. It's why every single one of her albums tacks on tracks she was featured on to boost sales and streams.
