Female Rapper That's Capable of Having Hip-hop Hit Without Gimmicks?

[Guest]

I was talking in general by this point. Some people will tell you that Nicki is completely rap and Iggy is not, even though Iggy has never been as pop as Nicki. It's her whiteness that forces people to be unfair. And then leads to ideas of gimmicks, which is what the OP was bringing up. My argument is that Iggy doesn't even have gimmicks but people think she does. Nicki also has that ridiculous gimmick of Roman and being possessed by him. Thank goodness she seems to have abandoned that concept. But it still wasn't considered ridiculous enough to stop people from buying her albums. If Iggy did something so absurdly bad, she wouldn't even scrape a gold certification, never mind platinum (and critical praise, to boot).

Exactly.
