2021, so far, has seen some of the most hard-hitting hip-hop singles, albums, and mixtapes but it looks like the Queen of hip-hop, Nicki Minaj took the throne as her verse from the song ‘Fractions’ from her recently released mixtape ‘Beam Me Up Scotty’ grabbed a spot in the Best Rap Verses of 2021.

The coveted list curated by the publication Complex turned everyone’s heads when Minaj’s song ‘Fractions’ made it to the list, making her the only female emcee to reserve a place in the top 25. The 38-year-old rapper’s song ‘Seeing Green’ featuring Lil Wayne and Drake from the same mixtape also made it to the list for Wayne’s brilliant verse. The list was topped by Drake for his song ‘Lemon Pepper Freestyle’. The Best Rap Verses of 2021 (so far) list also included artists like Conway The Machine, Gucci Mane, and Tyler, The Creator among others.

Is Nicki Minaj’s ‘Fractions’ the best rap song of 2021?

The song ‘Fractions’ secured the 10th spot on the list whereas, ‘Seeing Green’ was listed at number five for Lil Wayne’s verse. ‘Fractions’ did not come with a catchy hook/chorus which is a usual practice in songs. Nicki Minaj dived straight into the verse with her tight rhyming schemes. On the one long verse, the multiple award-winning rapper spits, “I put these bi**hes on game, they should be kissin’ my feet/ I tried to give ‘em some press, they tried to say it was beef” referencing her feuds with various artists.

Nicki Minaj’s song ‘Seeing Green’ got all the hype, thanks to a skilled verse from the hip-hop heavyweight Lil Wayne. In the song, he raps, “How I go from bars on the screen door to the TV screen?/ Don't ask me, but never change the channel/ Gucci flannel, Gucci socks, Gucci sandals/ Gucci teddy bears, and pandas, not fake/ Propaganda 'bout to blow out the candle” Nick Minaj had re-released her 2009 mixtape ‘Beam Me Up Scotty’ in May 2021 after taking a hiatus from music due to her pregnancy. The mixtape peaked at Billboard 200 making it the highest-charting reissued mixtape and the highest-debuting female rap mixtape in history. Stacked with a whopping 23 tracks, Minaj joined hands with artists like Bobby V, Brinx, Busta Rhymes, Drake, Gucci Mane, Mack Maine, Gudda Gudda, Jae Millz, Lil Wayne, Red Café, Ricky Blaze, Rocko, Ron Browz, and Shanell.
