So I assume she'll be getting that #1 shortly, now that hip hop is back in the forefront, right?

Af's logic isn't matching with Nicki's Billboard Hot 100 History

Nicki has SEVEN Top 10 hits on the Hot 100 from her own discography:

Super Bass
Starships
Bang Bang
Anaconda
Only
Motorsport
Chun Li

4 are Urban, 3 are Pop

As a featured artist

Bedrock - 2 (2009)
Fefe - 3 (2018)
Bottoms up - 6  (2010)
Rake It Up - 8 (2017)
Make Me Proud - 9 (2011)
Dance (Ass) - 10 (2011)


Turn Me On - 4 (2011)
Give Me All Your Lovin - 10 (2011)
Beauty & The Beat - 5 (2012)
Hey Mama - 8 (2014)
Side To Side - 4 2016

6 are Urban, 5 are pop

And when you venture out into the Top 20

My Chick Bad - 11
Monster - 18
Girl On Fire
Down In The DM - 13
Big Bank - 16
Ball For Me - 16

Where Them Girls At - 14

6 are Urban, 1 is Pop

There's also Fly, Moment 4 Life, Your Love, Truffle Butter, Only, No Frauds etc...all Urban records that peaked in the Top 20

If you actually go through Nicki's Billboard history she has more Urban hits that have charted in the Top 10 & Top 20s than Pop hits. Af's narrative of her having to conform because Pop music dominated during her prime isn't true. She has a ton of disposable pop mess that charted poorly.

I think this is offset by Nicki being the only active female rapper in the game for several years.

LOONA.

Adele makes EDM/Katy Perry rejects?

You're not making any sense

There are songs that peak high and fall off the charts the next week just like there are songs that peak outside the Top 10, stabilize and go on to outsell records in the Top 10. Unless you're gonna compile a list of sales for these songs you screencapping random years of the Top 10 is pointless.

And Nicki has more Urban hits in her discography than Pop hits

Try a new excuse

I've said this a million times, but pictures tend to be more helpful so here we go.

People go on and on about how AMAZING it is that Cardi that was able to secure a top HIT while staying "true to the hood", and then move to question "Hmm, Nicki why couldn't you?"

The answer is simple - hip hop rules in 2018. It is now the NUMBER ONE genre of music in America.
It did NOT rule in Nicki's prime.

Below you will find snapshots of top songs in the summer of 2010 (Katy Perry #1 with California Girls)
And summer of 2018 (Drake #1 with In My Feelings)

Do you notice the difference within the Top 10?

Summer 2010:



Summer 2018:




Unless you're blind, you've probably noticed that one is not like the other.

Cardi is in a completely DIFFERENT era of music than Nicki was in. Making it almost impossible to fairly compare their runs in music.

Now, if Cardi were fighting against the reigns of Lady Gaga, Katy, Black Eyed Peas, Kesha, and others...then I'd see the point.

But she fits RIGHT into the top 10 of 2018.
then she needs to adjust to the times and get a hit if that?s what she wants, which it?s pretty clear that she does IMO. 

Overall her music has been stuck and that?s the main issue outside of her features

Was Michael Jackson getting #1's with his final release, although pop was still at the forefront?

Every artist has their prime .
i see ur point but she ain?t been around long enough for that comparison. she started popping in like 2010 and this is her 3rd real album. idk

TBH this is why she won't be going anywhere soon tho.
All popularity fades, its all in how you maneuver it.

can you imagine Cardi taking the heat Nicki takes on a daily? bbbbbbbbbbbbb
that weak bitch would be in an insane asylum.
:dead: she does tho. people find new ways to come for Cardi?s neck on the daily

She just happens to be likable to a good chunk of the general public in a way that Nicki never really was

& isn't THIS her prime?
She's only 3 albums in :uhh: :dead:

Beyonc? never caved and made edm

She made her blackass album and took her lashings on the hot100 accordingly. And still moved those albums.  :letsmessfag:

And dead at nickel in competition with Adele. Adele has never made an EDM song.

Nickel wanted to be Kesha and now she is  :letsmessfag:
