For a moment in hip hop she seemed like a once in a lifetime occurrence, a female MC who could rhyme, captivate a massive fanbase, make hits, and sell millions of records as good as any man in the industry... but then her success somehow backfired. Now in the wake of her own success, all the things that made Nicki standout seem to be being copied by a generation of female artists built in her image. Worse yet, her name is brought up more for controversy than anything else these last few years. But that doesn't mean her legacy and story of how she changed hip hop isn't worth telling. In this episode of the Black Media Breakdown F.D tries to tell the complicated story of Nicki Minaj and her impact on hip hop all while telling the truth as he sees it... and hopefully avoiding the wrath of the Barbz. 00:00 Intro, Plea for Safety 09:19 Women in hip hop in the old days 17:00 Lil Kim revolutionizes women in Hip Hoop 23:25 How Nicki changed the game 39:50 The backlash against Nicki 57:48 How the game changed on Nicki 01:14:02 Nicki gets canceled 01:24:05 How Nicki can come back/Final thoughs You can follow me on twitter and Instagram- @fdsignifier Patreon:   / posts   Edited by: Needless:    / @needlessnick   2D animations by: Aranock:    / aranock   Featured Creators: Fab Socialism:    / vellloh   Tee Noir:    / teenoir   Khadija Mbowe:    / khadijambowe   Folding Ideas:    / foldingideas
