They say Nicki Minaj is a hip hop artist. To me she is more for the house type music like in Starships.

Danny Brown should be up there as a legend since he... http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/70072

She's got enough punchlines to be considered a rap artist. Punchlines are something exclusive to hip hop. But yeah, her music branches out to RnB and even pop.

You just not listening close enough Boss. Hip hop can be much closer to classical poetry than most rock (and I listen to mostly the latter). Them dawgs got flow.

Some of my faves include Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Nas, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye (yes), Jay Z, Tupac. Someone mentioned Kendrick Lamar... I like.
