I think it's sad. Nicki Minaj had this whole mission statement about how she wanted to cement herself as a legend, yet she's turned herself into a wacky wig wearing version of Missy Elliott - she's wasting her career on featuring on other people's tracks instead of building up her own discography. Before she knows it she's not going to be hot property and she'll have nothing to show for it. Most of Nicki's hits have been pop songs that have featured some rapping; not rap songs that have had crossover success. Left Eye died too young and Lil Kim's career was interrupted by her jail time and ruined by the amount of time she spent fighting with other people instead of working on herself...
People like to make out that rapping is just a man's game but in my opinion it's only that way because so few women try; and those who do and manage to get some kind of breakthrough into the mainstream then squander their chances by doing too many features and not enough building up their own discography.
