That's like saying, "you'd rather listen to Drake over Tupac?" While I get what your saying, but neither Tupac or Lauryn is relevant anymore. And neither of them drop hot songs that get on the radio. Of course I would rather hear Pac or Lauryn songs, but after a while, its all the same ish and there's no new material. Nicki's style is dope, just like S O F I said, she's got a nice flow, the way she speeds it up, slows it down, the way she spits and etc.
Nicki Minaj's style reminds me of Ludacris'.
