U Mad?

To be honest…I’ve never been a fan of Nicki Minaj. If I wanted to hear something like her…I’d listen to Wayne. I guess I can understand little girls loving her, cuz in the male dominated world of Hip Hop…she often stood her ground next to the top dudes in the game (key word, in the “game”). I just never thought she was all that though. Her voice was hella annoying. Not in the way Freeway’s voice was annoying, but grew on you, but in a “I know you don’t really talk like that” type of annoying. Nicki’s content never really drew me. It’s hard enough for me to get into female rappers…she didn’t go the extra mile to make me want to pay attention. Yet and still, as she’s caught a lot of flack as off late, I don’t see exactly where it’s all coming from. I mean, seriously…ya’ll didn’t see this all coming?
I don’t know what the fuck that was. So when she went way over the top with that performance at whatever piece of shit awards show that was…I was like…and? Hasn’t this become the standard fare for female “Pop” artists? Doesn’t Lady Gaga do that shit all the time…people love her. Oh…wait, Nicki is Hip Hop, right? That’s the difference….STOP IT.
So…I guess I’m the only one who saw that video, right? Shit like that is why I don’t understand why dudes like Peter Rosenberg are so upset over Nicki’s latest smashes…(sarcasm). I guess it’s a New York thing. In Rosenberg’s rant, he brings up how Nicki Minaj likes to remind people she’s and underground artists from Queens. If Rosenberg was to see this (which…I doubt he would) I’d like to remind him that Black Eyed Peas were an underground hip hop act for Los Angeles. No…they were really underground hip hop, break dancing and all. Shit changes. I understand the New York scene is pretty dead…and they’d love to have somebody repping for them…but shit, you muthafuckas got a Super Bowl, and this whole Jeremy Lin thing popping…what more do you want? I don’t care for Nicki’s music…never did. I don’t even care to sit around and stare at her ass…I mean…it is big, but I’m not gonna get to have it, so what’s the purpose? But let’s not act like Wayne didn’t do “Lollipop” awhile ago. When you label head is a self-proclaimed “grown ass blood” in lion print leggings, you may have the urge to do some bullshit music. It is, what it is.
