No shade... I might get dragged for this but 👀
I genuinely think Doechii and Doja Cat deserve more respect in the game because IMO they're clearing Nicki in the talent department. Granted, both are clearly inspired by Nicki, but that's what makes it so interesting. They took elements of what Nicki brought to the game and evolved them into something that feels even more dynamic as performers and artists today.
Before the Barbz start foaming at the mouth, hear me out...
Every time I ask what makes Nicki the most talented female rapper ever, the answers are always the same:
Her pen,
Her bars,
Her longevity,
Her stats,
Okay. We get it.
Now remove the writing for a second.
What exactly does Nicki do better than Doechii or Doja TODAY?
Because from where I'm sitting, Doechii and Doja can OUTperform, OUTdance, OUTcreate, OUTconceptualize, and arguably OUTrap NICKI.
So what's the argument beyond legacy, influence, and sales?
I'm tryna see sum. 👀...
“you have a parasocial relationship with a billionaire” actually i developed this relationship when she was only worth about $320 million #forricherforpoorer
“Haven’t done micros on my hair since I was 10 or 11 it’s always been straight backs and I’m deciding this is where I stay cuz WHATTTT 🫠” – Doja Cat via TikTok
it's nice to see that they're using someone who actually needs to workout and stands to lose 10+ pounds in their ad not someone who is already very fit chiselled and handsome. he's kind of like a male Lizzo if you think about it
