Nicki Minaj
Now I posted before about How Nicki the ninja has the swagger of someone who has accomplished something already and she hasn't earned it. I do like the potential that she has shown although I do not think she will reach it with her new Young Money deal. I just don't see these guys as being able to pull off these signees as credible artists but we shall see.

If you watch this entire video you will see she looks lazy all of the time, whether she thinks it's a cool swagger or not I guess is up for debate. As a potential fan or listener, it turns me off to see her lack of energy and listening to the verse, she is trying to rely too much on the gimmicks and sound effects to extend her verse just like Lil' Wayne. You need to carve your own identity in order to be accepted.
Then I was on sohh and read this quote from her:
If your not gonna be about being sexy and that is the image you are presenting from the beginning you are going to fail Nicki. Word of advice, people are looking for you to be the new Kim, the new Lil' Boss Lady who uses her feminine whiles to get what she wants, abandon that and you can call yourself Nicki Lewinsky, and Harajuka Barbie all you want and we aren't going to believe you.

"The sexual and sexy stuff is really not who I am," Nicki explained in an interview. "I think all girls can take a sexy picture. Me, the core person, is more about making dope music, saying cute things and having fun. And being young and free-spirited so I'm focusing on just being me and what I do is, you know, I rap, I sing, I act. I combine all of those because I never feel like I'm the same person. You know what I mean, I feel like I'm different. My movement right now is based on all the girls in the world, no matter what their age is, race is, whatever, just coming together and having fun."

Man, im so not a fan of this chic. After reading her quote i think that maybe she shpuld be that chic who makes dope music and something that she likes. I really think that sexy rapper stuff is played. Kim did it, Foxy did it....now we need something new. I hope she can bring it, if not...get out the way!
ReplyDeleteLol looking at her and listening to what she says she is a liar and a fraud when it comes to that. she just wants to be seen and will do anything to get her "fame".
ReplyDeletethe only way chicks are going to sell records is by glorifying sex. I mean Lauryn Hill was suppose to change the game, but no females picked up the torch after she went nuts. Kim and Foxy raised a generation of women, sad as it may be, and Nik is just that generation of girls who grew up talking about "take it in the butt yes yes what". Is it taking fem-hop backwards? maybe but at the end of the day I'd rather have minaj than nothing at all.

ReplyDeleteI don't mind her doing that but admit it then don't act like you gonna have some depth to you. my problem with Nicki is her wack ass flow changes where she tryna be like wayne instead of rapping and using her lyrics.
