What is this bragging music called and where can I find more?

Is there a name for the type of song, often found in hip-hop, where the singer brags about how great they are as the main theme of the song? Example: "I'm the Best" by Nicki Minaj. Do you all have song recommendations for this type of song? Any genre of music is fine. Songs by women or gender nonconforming people preferred; no misogyny please. Thank you!

I've said this before but I don't get gangster rap. You're a musician and talking about how tough you are? Go play your clarinet and sing some hymns

Gangster rap is storytelling and a bit braggadocios, classically, but modern rap has gone too far.

but some of it is pure fire....and genius if you can compare it like this track.
