Pink Friday Is The Female Rap Album Of 2010

Nicki Minaj has had a near-perfect 2010.

Her hype has been building for years, since she joined forces with Lil' Wayne's Young Money in '08, but 2010 was the year that she finally crossed over and broke through.

She scored a record number of Billboard Hot 100 entries, and is shining with everyone from Jay-Z and Kanye West to Ludacris, Trey Songz and Christina Aguilera on their own songs. There wasn't a guest verse this year that Minaj didn't prove to be a true star, and when we look back on this year she will definitely be crowned the MVP.

Minaj's debut album Pink Friday, which was released yesterday, illuminates Minaj's brilliance, and definitely cements her status as one of the game's brightest.
