Nicki is so ugly & her bubble gum raps make no sense!
Lil Kim is the Queen Bee forever! Her music is classic & she has 3 platinum albums under her belt.
There is NO comparison. Lil Kim 4 EVER!

Seriously speaking, they are all dope..Nicki hasn’t ever said anything wrong against Kim..Kim is like, need some kind of promotion to come back into the spotlight..As you heard from Drake..Kim is irrelevant as at now..Nicki is the one on top so yall haters better swallow that..
Now to why, i wanted to comment , the bitch in the video who said Nicki sucks and that she wears butt pads is stuuupid..That bitch doesn’t even have a nice natural voice and you there dissing some Female MC who is trying to bring back the female rap thing back and really doing her thing..You aren’t even beautiful, i wonder even if you can sing a common lullaby…Stuupid Girl..Nicki is doing her thing and she is really doing it great..Kim needs nooo homage to be paid to her, why, is she some Goddess or what…clear off…

sorry lil kim will ether ms. minaj. Granted Nicki is cool in my book. how the hell y’all gone say she is the best to ever do it. she hasn’t even dropped one single album or had any major hits on billboard even with the big name features she’s done. she cldnt get mimi to #1 , usher, or even xtina. let alone get herself. must i mention MASSIVE ATTACK. and Find Your Love 2.0 (Your Love) is cute. But nothing ground breaking EITHER!!

I don’t think I fully participated fully in a sound off before so I wanna take time out just to do so right now:
Lil’ Kim Vs. Nicki Minaj?
First and foremost, I think Lil’ Kim was a ill lyricist back in the peak of her career, but let’s be honest, when Biggie died Kim’s career when down with the casket. Kim was writing her own lyrics nor was she coming up with the style. B.I.G. had everything to do with why Kim was successful. Without Big there will be no Kim.
I choose Nicki Minaj because she took the industry by storm with the presence of her mixtape game. She was delivering a different style of animated rap and it was intriguing and hip hop embraced her but for all the right reasons. It was flow, it was her hustle, her delivery, and her lyrical ability. Lil’ Wayne just elevated her career by putting his name behind her. Hands down Nicki Minaj.
Should Nicki be paying homage?
Nicki has paid homage… That’s the whole thing. On “Sucka Free” mixtape there’s a track titled, “Who’s Ya Best MC,” and Nicki says, “Nick [Nicki], Fox and Kim [Lil' Kim], and don’t forget Rem [Remy Ma]. She’s said time and time again she’s inspired by Kim and the whole movement she’s made for female rappers so all that paying homage B.S. has already been stated and accomplished.
Was Drake right to step in?
I feel Drake has the right to defend anyone just like any family member or loyal fan would do for both. The reason why they feel like Drake shouldn’ve stepped in is because of his position in hip hop. Nicki is a good friend, labelmate, and that’s apart of his crew. I think Drake can or should say whatever he’s feeling about the situation cause people are definitely ignoring that Ray J sparked the diss towards Nicki Minaj anyway…

Nicki’s had 10 of her features on billboard tho and Your Love has charted higher than Massive Attack (#25). But Kim was irrelevant before Nicki even made it! Thats the problem I have…like where the hell did you come from?!?! Like she been washed up before Nicki even hit the scene. And whats the point of beefin’ especially when your last single was that auto tune train wreck Download??? Really Kim?! Really?! But idk…I feel like Nicki could step it up too and go back to her Nicki Lewinsky days…her Playtime is Over/ Sucka Free and Beam Me Up Scotty days…thats the Nicki we fell in love with. But at the same time Kim need something to back her up besides Ray’J's washed up ass…lmao. Why would she call on that dude lol…And besides some damn wigs…what has Nicki really taken from Kim??? You don’t see Beyonce snatchin’ off other R&B chicks lace fronts

Actually lol…10 of Nicki’s features have charted and Your Love is #25, higher than Massive Attack. But Lil’ Kim needs to sit her plastic hips down somewhere. How do you go from posin’ in myspace pics with the girl talkin’ bout she doin’ her thing then whining about how she taking subliminal shots at you. First…hip hop/rap is built of off talking stuff and how you the best…if you want some friendly stuff then go to the damn disney channel. Then on top of that Kim has been irrelevant for a while now, before Nicki even came out! Like where the hell are you coming from, this don’t make sense. Kim went about the situation the wrong way because she came off bitter and mad…like a sore loser. All she has to back her up is Brandy’s little washed up brother Ray-J??!!! Really Kim! You couldn’t find nobody else! And Nicki has paid homage so many freakin’ times, listen to her interviews, listen to her mixtapes she always shout out Kim. Then she wanna talk stuff after that auto tune train wreck Download…really??? At the same token, Nicki could go back and spit like her mixtape days, back when she was Nicki Lewinski. Thats when she was completely raw all the time, but how can you judge some off of features. And besides some damn rainbow wigs, what has Nicki done to you? Chicks in the hood have been wearing off the wall colors in the hair for years…are you gon come kick our ass Kim? You don’t see Beyonce whoopin’ R&B chicks down and pullin’ off they lace fronts…thats a no-no. Because if you are really the queen…then you should act like one.

Like BROOKLYNDON said… Kim would ether Nicki and u can’t say Nicki is better at ANYTHING becuz she wants to be Kim Point. Blank. Period… Kims Hardcore and Notoroious KIM albums could shatter any mixtape or flopped single Nicki put out. Your Love is not even a rap song but more like Pop. There is no comparison, plus Kim said it’s more to this situation than what we know about.

#3 Since when did Lil Kim ever have longevity? Her career did not last.
#4 When u need to go on Dancing With The Stars to get yourself out again u know your done.
#5 Nobody is checking for Lil Kim now Nicki Minaj got the buzz and is on the charts so Kim is irrelevant now.

Funny cause while all this is going on Nicki Minaj is shooting videos, doing sold out concerts, making her millions while kim is struggling to get her career back into place. Kim was hot back THEN, key word THEN. She is washed up now thats just the reality of it. Nicki is hot now thats why kim taking shots at her. At the end of the day its all working in Favor of Nicki Minaj not Kim.

Ppl r idiots if they don’t c how nicki is tryin to b kim from the pics to the wigs to fake deep voice. Nicki can’t hold a candle lyrically to Kim. I won’t say Nicki aint catchy and the kids love her but she doesn’t compare and never will Lil kim is one of the best and remains the best if ur comparing her to Nicki. Honestly I don’t even see how there is an argument.

Where is Lil Kims Autotuned fuckery with T-pain Download on the charts? That song was complete trash and u tryna say Kims the Best? Really??? A legend does not come out with crap like that EVER and be considered a Legend. Its a no brainer that Lil Kims first album Hardcore was a classic but that was it after that her albums got wack. Nicki Minaj will probobly be the first female Hip hop artist Ever to have a long career and be relevant.

Dear Rap Up,
are you serious? Why ask these people? Most of them are underage therefore too young to really what Kim did back then. Not to mention, a few of them are stupid (*looks at those 2 Trina fans*)
Anyway, if Kim wants her throne back, why doesn’t she release any new material?

On Looks:
Kim looks like a zombie. I think I saw her in the last resident evil game >_>
Nicki may have had work done, if she has then she went to the right ppl unlike kim
On rapping:
Kim…to me it doesn’t seem like she tries. Her flow may be there though, but her lyrics are forgettable.
Nicki comes with slick stuff that is either funny or clever most of the time so I like her stuff
Overall:
Nicki got this
As for the sound off, some of it was funny. Didn’t agree with most of them, but whatever.

Nicki Minaj is a flop yeah ok. Her song Your Love is moving up the charts and is currently at #26 on Billboard Hot 100. To whoever said Nicki Minaj is a broke mixtape rapper, last time i checked she was the first female artist to make a million off a mixtape. Broke my ass. Nicki been making major moves and all yall haters can do is hate.

U know what makes Nicki Minaj a better rapper. Her lyrics are memorable, and she spits unlike any other female mc. Did yall forget about Foxy Brown. Didnt Foxy Brown use the deep voice just like Lil Kim on her songs and did u see Kim takin shots at Foxy? No. Mind you Nicki Minaj sounds absolutely nothing like Lil Kim one bit. When i think of Nicki Minaj i cant even think of a Lil kim comparison.

Nicki 100%. Kim is dope, but as homie in the last 10 secs said, Nicki is what’s hot right now. If you think about it, Nicki ain’t biting off of Kim. In order for most females to be successful, you gotta be raunchy and do crazy things like show skin, accentuate the boobs and play around with your hair.

guys ,they r both good … the only problem is that Kim thinks that she ownes everything …
I mean c’mon people,Minaj is creative too … give her a chance …it doesn’t matter if Kim is on stage for 10 years,this is future … same thing for Christina and Gaga…Christina is on stage 15 years,and she said that Gaga is newcomer … but c’mon…have u ever seen Christina wear those stuff like Gaga? No … And Gaga is very success …
And the biggest problem is in us … We start everything,when we say ,,She’s copycat,she belongs to illuminati” and etc… and media then start to spread the world bout it…
And Minaj is the new Queen of Hip Hop…this stupid comments won’t stop her …so give girl a chance,it’s her life,and it’s her dream … give her support…. GO NICKI!!!

Minaj she’s new she just needs time to find her own spot and it takes artist some time to do that. Kim is our past and its like trying compare marvin gaye to say usher or somebody.
GRANTED! AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE WILLING TO ADMIT Nicki has a lot of similarities imagewise to Kim BUT her flow is different and fresh. Kim shouldn’t be trippin. she should be flattered and use this as some motivation to throw out a TRUMP CARD (a hot new album) and show Nicki whats its really all about since she is the QUEEN B.

I’m tired of punk kids like u always talkin about crap like “moving forward”! Let’s keep it real, this new era of rap, AKA the swag era, is at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to eras in Hip Hop History. The only thing worse was the bling bling era from the early to mid 00′s.
The future ain’t lookin so bright, with the likes Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne on top.

IF SHE WANTS 2 SHE CAN ETHER LIL’ KIM EASILY. LIL KIM HAS ALWAYS BEEN OVERRATED. 2 BE HONEST WE ONLY RESPECT HER CUZ SHE ROLLED WIT BIGGIE. EVEN IF NICKI DID BATTLE KIM, IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE SHE DOES NOT WRITE HER OWN MUSIC, SO IT WOULD BE AN UNFAIR BATTLE, BUT NICKI WOULD STILL DEMOLISH HER. NICKI IS A PUNCHLINE RAPPER LIL KIM IS NOT. NICKI CAN SWITCH UP THE FLOW, LIL KIM CAN NOT. I WAS A KIM SUPPORTER CUZ SHE USED 2 PUT OUT GOOD MUSIC, BUT SHE FELL OFF & SHE HAS 2 BE THE BIGGEST HATER IN FEMALE RAPPER. NOW ITS CLEAR WHY SHE HAD A PROBLEM WIT REMY, FOXY, & EVE. SMH SHE NEEDS 2 GROW UP. NICKI ONLY WEARS THE COLORED WIGS, BUT IF U LISTEN 2 THE FLOW, THE METAPHORS, THE DELIVERY, & THE WORDPLAY U WILL KNOW NICKI HAS HER OWN STYLE. NICKI’S FASHION SENSE IS EVEN DIFFERENT FROM LIL KIM’S THEY BOTH JUST HAPPEN 2 USE THE SEX SELLS APPROACH. NICKI WAS PROBABLY 9 OR 10 WHEN SHE 1ST SEEN LIL KIM. C’MON SON, ITS OBVIOUS SHE’S INSPIRED BY LIL KIM THATS ALL.

“came up in it a lil self centered but did i kill the queen” and then all the imitating with the wigs nd shit. immitation is not flattery its annoying. #teamlilkim. Plus kim’s lyrics are way better i mean really “hewey dewey lewey cotton candy chewy chewy” or something like that i mean come on.

@ Suryal,
U sound like a brainwashed bandwagon rider. Drake’s album is not a classic, it’s so-so at best. Nicki doesn’t always go hard lyrically, most of the time she barely comes hard. Whenever someone speaks the realness about the new industry darlings, u kids gotta call them haters. Stop playin yourselves!
It’s disgusting how people like u can only defend the pop rappers by saying that “their getting money”. 1st of all, money isn’t everything, and making music isn’t all about money. U say that you’re getting dough, but to me you’re just trying to make yourself sound important.I bet u don’t know much about real Hip Hop anyway!

Yo, you people are complete fucking idiots, like do you hear yourself? Cause if your real Nicki Minaj fans like ya’ll say yall are, you would know that Nicki was always taking shots at KIM, DUMBASSES, In that “Hello, Goodmorning” shit, what she say she killed the Queen, or I killed the Queen, some shit like that. And even before that she was coming at KIM like c’mon lets be real, its hip-hop, its only so long you can sit around and let someone come at you before striking back. Lil’ Kim aint a legend??? *blank stare* Fuck you think started this sexy rap shit. Kim took it to another level, wigs, and raunchy pictures and shit like that. She was doing and saying shit that at the time, other female bitches was SCARED to do. Like yo there is no arguement cause these lil’ girls with a black weave and pink tracks in the back are still wet behind the ears and will think Nicki Minaj is better. Okay you say Kim dont write her rhymes, my nigga, when Nicki first came out she was on her hood shit, when she got on she started rapping like Lil’ Wayne, I dont see people complaining about that. Nicki talks about nothing and anyone who thinks she nice, dont know shit about Hip-Hop music. Her lil’ following is cute, cause lil’ kids think is something new and something thats never been done before smh!, and she gotta get that bread so I aint mad but when you start disrespecting someone that came before you, and did it way better might I add, it becomes a problem. KIM HAD LYRICSSS!!! I REPEAT KIM HAD LYRICSSS!!! Please tell me what song Nicki was on after her one lil’ playtime is over mixtape, features and all, and you was like, damn that bitch is nice. “Itty bitty piggy”, SMH!, “Kill Da DJ” SMH!, “Girlfriend” SMFH! & I think “Massive Attack” speaks for it self. “I was on the plane with D’Wayne, you can call me Whitley I go to Hillman” << Is this what Hip-Hop has come to? KIM might be old but all her OLD shit ya'll people call so called wack is better than anything I've heard from Nicki. Oh & ok you can say "The Naked Truth" album flopped but please name a solo Nicki song thats more lyrical than "Lighter's Up"… *WAITING*… … … Sorry. When Nicki has a #1 single then maybe she can be mentioned in the same breath as Kim. BROOKLYN BEEF! WHO WANT THAT??????

I do not feel like Nicki Minaj owes Lil’Kim shit…..Minaj does not sound like her at all, you dont hear her moaning and shit…..she actually has her own sound. What rules are there that says a female rapper can’t wear a damn wig if she wants to. I will say though that Foxy brown is ill as hell….I do think that Nicki had paid her homage to someone who started it, have you ever read any interview where she mentions fox? Yeah dont think she owes anyone anything…..As far as drake goes thats expected……did Big Jay and Joe or whoever not stand up for their crew, chick or whatever? People need to stop comparing them, I would love to hear albums from all of them to be quite frank let them do them and stay in yo lane!

@ No Brainer Lil Kim didnt take shots at Foxy Brown because Foxy Brown would have stright murdered her lyrically lol, I mean really just smashed her.
And i didnt know Your Love by nicki was charted #25 on hot 100….. About time she has a single thats really doing something. I admit her mixtape was hot, but the stuff she’s coming with now isent really. I like Nicki but she talks about the same thing over & over & over. Like that girl Keys said “THIS BITCH IS ON THE SECOND VERSE AND STILL NOT SAYING SHIT” thats just nicki for you lol but she has catchy lyrics i want lie.

has any body else thought that if kim could put some new shit shed flop? her flow is old in the words of wayne her flow dry like grandma pussy. her shit aint slick it really aint theres no cleverness theres nothing but sex sex sex sex sex with kim cant no body play kims stuff in public you cant do it among family or near children her lyrics is straight off smut. nicki’s delivery is sooo much better and nicki’s position in dah game right now is so good she got this shit on lock. shes lil wayning the female rap game. i dont even want to let yall know that nicki write her own shit. thats why shes on young money and not on dancing with the stars. in my opinion nicki been paying homage, lil kim fans be talking about the pictures and the wigs and thats exactly why shes paying homage evry body knows kim did that thats her way and if kim needs nicki to outright say ” im paying homage to kim” KIM CAN GO FUCK HER SELF CUZ AINT NO BODY HER BITCH> KIM WENT ABOUT THIS ALL THE WRONG WAY> SHE HAD A CONCERT WITH KEYS SINGING A NICKI MINAJ DISS THAT WAS STRAIGHT HO AND NICKI COULD BLAST KIM SO BAD WITH HER OWN LYRICS AND HER OWN MUSIC AT SOLD OUT SHOWS> AINT A DAMN THING KIM CAN DO WHEN SHE HAD HER CROWN AND WAS SITTING ON THE THRONE SHE SHOULD OF not fucked around. a perfect song for kim is go hard from wayne and nicki . if kim was as real she would never had let another female sit on her throne. if kim could she would get rid of nicki. this is what kim does when she see’s other bitches goin hard kim is just getting someshine of nicki we werent talking bout her till then. isnnt this lady supposed to be a grandma or something eww she ugly shes old to late aint no man gonna want to hit that no more and aint no woman gonna want to listen or look up to that nicki minaj 100% but nicki needs to step her game up and no more massive attacks but shes always fire on other peoples track she just needs that on her album. but shes proved herself to us on her mixtapes.

Lol really Nicki haters are rediculous…like c’mon Nicki releasing a new song with a big artist everyday Sean Kingston, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguliera, Fabolous, DJ Khaled, Robin Thicke, Ludacris, Usher, Gucci Mane (even though I dont consider him all that good, he’s still kinda famous)…..and Kim hasn’t had a song since whack ass Download. Like Nicki’s “”You Love”" is #4 for Rap, #17 for Pop, and #25 for The BillBoard 100. So honesty NICKI MINAJ FTW !

nicki minaj is better cuz nicki minaj has gotten 9 hot100 entries in like 9 months and it took kim 4 years 94-99 look it up and yes features are included for both of them and nicki minaj single “your love” is #25 on hot 100 , #9 on rb/hiphop, and #1 on raps songs and #17 on pop songs and just to let yall no kim has neva got up to 25 on a solo single that only her on the track and so wat does that tell you and kim and nicki are nothing like besides the coloful wigs kim wore like 2 times ..kim is not the queen of hip hop to me missy should be cuz she has been the most successful so far andi believe nicki could supess missy in about 3 years beceause nicki and missy are both diffrent in their raps if anything missy and nicki are much more alike than her annd kim even missy sed that she likes her cuz she reminds her of herself and thats what people like we dont i dont want to hear a women sounding like a dude (lil kim) and nicki is not hardocore (talking bout sex drugs) like kim did she was jus nasty to me ..nicki is more popish and fun and more clever with stuff and making you think like what did she jus say so to me kim is the the nothing but HOES #TEAMNOTHOEISHRAPPERS

Of Course Nicki needs to give homage to Kim..come on, respect is RESPECT. Kim paved the way for Nicki just like Mc Lyte paved for Kim and Roxanne Shante for Mc Lyte..I don’t think I need to go back further because my point is, yall young ones think Nicki is the ish when she is just NEW. That’s it. I applaud her ‘NEWNESS’ and the fact that the female rappers who have done what she is doing are basically laying low now (Missy, Kim). For Nicki to come out like she’s some kind of innovator, please, bow to your elders sweetheart and just do one thing, give them their due until you earn yours…

to all yall nicki garbage supports “THIS BITCH IS SOME SHIT! come on now..she has bubble gum raps, I can gaurantee she will not be hot 10 years from now. You will not even remember her dumb ass lyrics. And its 16 years later and everyone of you can remember all Kim’s songs..correct? I mean really? what is this Nicki brawd talkin about? She has no stage presence, her interviews suck, i think she is mentally retarded or something. And she only sounds “OK” at best on other people’s shit, truthfully. She is gettin her shine on right now. She will soon be over with, i give her the rest of this year and maybe next year, then you gonna be like Nicki who? Kim is just waitin in the cut, she is just waitin for Nicki to bring out all her wack shit, then kim is gonna come for that bitch..trust me! She been silent for way too long. Kim still doin her thing, touring overseas and in the U.S., dancing, signing big deals with major companies. Kim is doing her, and when the time is right she gonna drop some more hot shit. Especially since she signed with Roc Nation now. And for the dumb asses that keep sayin Kim aint write her shit..who’s to say Nicki writes her own shit or any rapper for that matter. We dont know what goes on behind the scence..so could yall dumb asses just stfu seriously! Kim is definitely doin her thing, just because we do not see it, doesnt mean she is not. Nicki can have her lil shine for right now, but it will be short lived.

@Suryal hahaha rap is moving forward? The rap game is straight garbage and Nikki is only making the situation worse. The only real lyricists right now are underground. Any that are mainstream don’t even get a chance cause there’s too much crap being circulated by bogus mc’s like Nikki. Y’all don’t even know what rap is if you think the shit you here these days is worthwhile. You are a lost cause and should just keep being an buffoon…

this is absurd, nicki always pays respect to all female rappers b4 her, does she have to start calling names
no disrespect to kim but she didnt start sex raps for females, Yoyo did that, if u wnt proof chk out ” i wanna be down remix” even mc lyte n queen latifah, yeah i said it QUEEN…. kim was hot then, nicki is hot now.no one is original, but to be able to flip somtin old n mix it up n call it ur own shouldnt be a crime. kim was more husky n she always used to rap about sex in 90% of her tracks, foxy did that too, eve came took the sex part a bit and added her life experience into her rap, but all foxy n kim did then was talk abt sex. missy came in n changed the game making it funny frm a female point of view ( dats who nicki is copying)
am tired of all dis homage crap, ok u came b4 me doesnt mean i cant be better than u, look at jay z n ll cool j, they all battled pple b4 dem and came out tops, if u are relevant nw u r the best, all u hav to do is to continue to be relevant.
y’all say lil kim is a legend, what den is mc lyte, queen latifah, lauryn hill…. she tried to be relevant nowadays n released a forgettable single, just shows hw washed out she is….not supporting nicki all d way here, but let the young do their thing…even the pple of 15yrs ago r stiil holding their own in their own ways, nas,jay z, diddy, busta, dre, snoop etc.
there comes a time whn u hav enuff n give dem a shot to remind dem dt their time is up or to keep up

nicki is a black hip hop version of lady gaga… she revitalized hip hop for men and women alike.. sorry but rappers like lil kim and keys rap like theyre still in the 90′s.. and lil kim was never a barbie.. maybe a tranny.. but most black women wear wigs… should nicki pay homage to every back women before her that wore a wig and rapped.. plus there rap flow is soo different… nicki is what is needed… besides.. all these rap women all sound the same… #teamnickiminaj

I think Lil Kim needs to get a grip… Nicki Minaj didn’t steal ur “style”. Lil Kim never called herself a barbie or really portrayed herself to b as such… Lil Kim was alllll sex period. Nicki Minaj has her own style…its more girly n bubble gum…wen i start to c her wit her tits out n a stitch of cloth covering her cooch…then mayb yea she’s jackin Lil Kim’s style.

ok to be quite honest what did lil kim invent?….did she invent colored wigs?…no cuz i have some pictures from the 80′s with my mom wearing colored wigs…did she invent rapping…no because there were plenty before her…the only thing kim can claim is that damn pose ok wow a fucking pose….i have read plenty of articles where nicki listed kim as her influence she even said it on the come up dvd….kim old azz need to sit her azz down…nicki is what is hot now…kim flopped when biggie died aint nobody checking for kim right now personally i had forgot all about kim….and i really dont see how she is considered the G.O.A.T what about all the female rappers who came before her you dont see them prancing around talking about pay homage you see them on they grind getting they money….and nicki can actually spit in order to last in the industry you gotta stick out you cant be like everyone else and nicki is not she creative and smart…nicki appeals to every fan base kim does not the new generation barely even knows who kim is so how is she a legend?…in order to be a legend everyone has to be able to recognize your genius and im sorry kim is not a genius she didnt even write her own shit so how is she going to ether anyone?…

Seriously? I totally agree with Lil T. They should be duking this out with hip hop battles, real talk, no damn ghost writers to hide behind. Fuck this stupid game. They both have talent, but Minaj sold out the moment she stepped into Young Money. She has nothing real to say and nothing valuable to give the hip hop community. Lil Kim was in it a long time ago when people took this shit seriously, and Nicki’s bubblegum crap is overrated and loved by little girls from the suburbs. “Wayne tells me to go hard..” says Nicki, but she ain’t been doin that since her mixtape, and even then I was only semi-impressed. Good luck Nicki, cos you’re young and stupid. Kim is going to destroy you.
