soooooo i really don't like Nikki Minaj. i just can't put her in the same category as Queen Latifah, Eve, Salt & Pepa, Lady of Rage, etc... i also can't get with all the hype that comes with dear Nikki. if you're going to rap...then rap. i don't see the need for all that "extra-ness" that she brings along with her. i feel like she's more of a character than a rapper. and i think the same person that writes Lil Wayne's rhymes has lent a helping hand to the self-proclaimed "Harajuku Barbie".
on the other hand....can't really fault the girl for making money. she knew what she needed to do from jump street in order for her to really make a name for herself in the rap game. after all, it is a predominately male dominated industry and sex sells. who knew that colorful wigs/extensions would also sell? (sidenote...she should really hook up with Bronner Brothers and really get paid).
there is a point to this entry, i promise :) while joy-riding through the QC with my Ace, she put me on to the track below. and two miraculous things happened;
1. i listened to a Gucci song and actually enjoyed it.
and 2. the thought actually crossed my mind that Nikki Minaj (or whoever her ghostwriter is) might actually be on to something.
anywho, listen and enjoy because surprisingly, i did.
