Red Velvet 10,988 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I think 2015 - 2017 had the best integrity of pop cultural resets, starting from Adele, Beyonce up to Taylor. In those 3 years, we had Bad Blood's music video, Adele with 25, Rihanna with ANTi, Gaga's 2 Oscar performances, Beyoncé releasing her magnum opus Lemonade, Gaga's SuperBowl, and Look What You Made Me Do. Those were pop events. Add more cultural resets here in this thread. I'm like some kind of supernova Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Velvet 10,988 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'd also like to argue that Sour Candy -> How You Like That was also a cultural reset. But ya'll ain't ready for that conversation. I'm like some kind of supernova Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how did she open any doors when they were already open since the late 90’s Also she got popular off RedOne, David Guetta and Dr Luke POP songs, there’s a reason why they called her gaga 2.0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
godnhat 3,591 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 in terms of the impact, I guess I would lean into the visuals Gaga served during her debut/TFM era. She brought camp to the forefront, theatrics to everything she did, and while she wasn't the first bring these elements, I think her influence was really powerful and really fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeIena Gomez 1,609 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Unpopular opinion but Cheek To Cheek the album kicked off an absolute 360 career change for one of the pop stars with the biggest downfalls ever queen ****! love ya tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the female rappers before Nicki reached her impact, her success, you name it... At her peak, she was literally everywhere. The "Anaconda/Bang Bang" era was cultural reset I still remember it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki's impact in female rap has been way bigger than the ones you listed below, which obviously paved the way the same way Madonna paved the way for all popstars today, but Nicki is the greatest female rapper, critics and numbers don't lie. She made female hip hop hot and mainstream again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
