I'll say this much. I don't agree with the OP assessment of Nicki being the best rapper out right now, but she came really tight on that track (remember, Snoop has a ton of classic tracks with really simple lyrics and metaphors. You don't have to be really complicated and intricate to be tight).
But she's a in bad situation as far as this board's general opinion is of her musically (I think 90% on here are willing to admit they'd gladly smash, so I'm just talking musically). If they're not feeling her music, they'll say "she's wack for spittin' garbage." If they ARE feeling her music, they'll say "so-and-so wrote it, so therefore of course it's hot. Yeah I can't prove it, but I KNOW so-and-so wrote it. Nicki is still wack." This is a no win situation for her on here.
