It’s official. Nicki Minaj is the new face of female rap as her single “Your Love” is the first #1 rap single on the Billboard charts by a female since Lil Kim’s “Magic Stick” back in 2003. If you take in the fact that 50 Cent also took joint credit for “Magic Stick” then you have to go back to Missy Elliott’s “Work It” in 2002 as the last #1 rap single by a female artist. Regardless, this is good news for the Young Money artist proving so far that she’s just not all hype…of course her actual album sales will be the real proof.
