So last year this time, we were all still reeling from the verbal smackdown Remy Ma laid on Nicki Minaj. With "Shether" the diss we'll be talking about for years to come, Remy Ma resurrected an aspect in women's hip hop that has proven to be very entertaining and dynamic. Although some fans would say beef is exactly what's plaguing women, what I would say is that this is Hip-hop. And if you're a true hip-hop fan, you would know that beef is what keeps the game interesting. Just like a sport, direct challenges command participants to bring their A-game. With that being said, what we saw from Nicki last year, was a fighter who got caught off guard and duffed out. The songs she sent in response to "Shether" were utterly despicable to listen to. And for a whole year we've had to listen to shady, sub shots at Remy in pretty much every feature she appeared on. The positive side of this whole beef, is that the doors of the female rap game got swung wide open. We got to hear from the likes of Azaelia Banks, Cardi B, Kash Doll, and other upcoming Indie girls on a higher frequency than before this verbal brawl took place. We even got a collab from Nicki & Cardi which, (in my opinion), was to give off the air that Nicki could in fact, share the stage of Hip-hop. It seemed like a stunt to disprove the accusations that she had intentionally barred other women from making breakthroughs. However, the song is a dope, and now we have new tracks from Nicki, casting the Aura of "Itty Bitty Piggy" Nickster and I'm here for it. "Barbie Tings" is a BOP. I'm proud at her for collecting her edges and fixing her crown. Sis was a bit shook for a second there. What do yall think? Is it a bop or flop?
