I don't think you get it, Remy appeals to strictly the Bronx and raps only one way - the fact she needs Joe to make an album is embarrassing. His reputation in Hip-Hop is poison and bad luck, I can name a few that probably tolerate being associated with him.
Nicki on the other hand has worked with a vast majority of her NY influences and has ran it since her underground buzz days.
Her come-up wasn't being in a Rap group like TS, she had to be a solo artist as Queens doesn't support females like Bronx or Brooklyn does.
If we had a list of females from this decade from the East Coast who got the respect of current GOAT's, there's her, Bank$ fizzled out and that's it. Additionally, no other chicks from New York are headlining any tours, festival spots, selling out arenas, etc.
The only time nikkas remembered Remy having bars was her being in jail,
she dropped one album the Coli doesn't even talk about for good reason. Now instead of restarting a solo career for a fresh start, she's trying to repeat what she did last time.
As for "respect" is vague, this is New York we're talking about where everybody changes their tune depending who they're discussing. I damn sure know she's respected more than Fat Joe's snake ass, and Remy barely has a fanbase herself. She has casual fans that get check out for her titties and weak ass subliminals.
