• not to hate

• yoo nicki is the flyest barbie lol ur haters she is bad and smart with talent from the other destiny hi i not am blessed clap for the heavy weight champ me

• Like this character is really a fuckin lame. The reality to this whole unnecessary ass book you posted is you're just upset that you could never get the time of day with a bad bitch like Nikki. So do us all a favor go get some pussy from a bad bitch then put up a post. Lmao. Yea yea yea

• Dat bitch ugly wit her bald ass

• i'm a full-time hater of this trick

• I dont think her sexy image will be her down fall! Janet beyonce Madonna lil Kim Rihanna Katy perry shakira Britney spears. It didn't hurt them!! But I will say her talents are not equal to the amount of play she gets! Eventually that will catch up. Unless there is more to her then weird noises and half verses. I looked her up to see why people bother to talk about her. I just see yet another person attempting to be made with a very strong backing. But the dept of her ability to show more in the future will determine whether she has longevity. Until then she hot at the moment and that's all she could be. Enjoy that ish nikki!!!!!!! Dont hate her. Hate the game. Or change it!!! In my opinion I think it needs to change!!!

• Potted Meat! That's just low. Funny!

• Nicki Minaj is a talented, smart rapper who I think won't be going away any time soon. You're wrong when you say she began her Young Money career exploiting her sexuality-all the sexed up pictures you chose were back in her DVD and mixtape days. When she was more hood, more sexually explicit, and less intelligible. But she's realized she needs to change her image. I don't even think Nicki sexes up her image anymore-she's got an amazing figure that sort of shows through anything but you don't see her running around in underwear like Katy Perry. It's absolutely ridiculous that she's received so much hate so early on in her career from people who don't take the time to find out about her and just know her as that crazy rapper who wears wigs. This article makes me sad.

• SHE'S HOTTT,TALENTED,LOUD,SEXY,PRETTY NOT BEAUTIFUL COZ I DONT HER LIKE THAT (AND I SAY THIS IN CAPS). Nicki has blown us all out of our sits and thats why haters are talkin coz now they know all thier favourites though new, sound old school. She may have beef with lil kim but hey! who doesn't hav beef with any female out there and really what is a lagend like kim doin payin attention to what whoever said, she needs to get back into the studio and prove herself by unleashin her inner beast of music. Nicki is the biggest female of the decade proof: wherever, whenever you hear her voice in any track its a HIT!! GYPTIAN 'HOLD YA', SEAN KINGSTONE 'LETTIN GO', LUDA 'MY CHICK BAD' WILL.I.AM 'CHECK IT OUT' her own 'YOUR LOVE', 'RIT THROUGH ME', 'MASSIVE ATTACK' list is endles.... She's the only female makin hip hop hits when she features e.g RICK ROSS, TREY SONGS, DRAKE, WIZZY, JAY-Z, KANYE, congo:falli. i can go on and on but i dont have time i need to work but to all ya haters you need to wake up and keep up with the new improved gobal generation. Dont judge her from the outlook but the talent she has, standin alone to represent the female generation not negatively but positively knowin that she is helping others who dont have voices to speak up and speak out thier emotions and feelings towards being weird, bullied, alone and just plan-out different. PEACE, YOUNG MONEY BABY!!!

• Is her album even out yet? How is her story already written? This speculation on what other people will value.... this is what caused the Housing Bubble.

• There is nothing new in hip-hop; one can clearly see the similarities between Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj. Both are nasty, both used beef with other artists to gain notoriety and both are female duplicates of other rappers. For Nicki Minaj that would be Lil' Wayne, for Lil' Kim that was Biggie Smalls. In anything Nicki Minaj is just following the blueprint that Lil' Kim laid down just like Beyonce followed the blueprint that Diana Ross set forth over fifty years ago. There is nothing new in the music industry, hell, every follows everyone else some people are just better at doing it than everyone else. So why do we really hate Nicki Minaj? Some people would say that she acts weird and has this Barbie thing about her but I think she is just taking what Trina did and spin on its head and turn it upside down. Could it be that Nicki Minaj comes across as a carbon copy of a mainstream rapper, but then again who isn't doing that in this day and age? If you hate Nicki Minaj than you are a hypocrite for not hating Lil' Kim, because it is questionable if either are truly great artists or if they are not using the politics of sex to come across as being more interesting than they truly are. The problem with being a female rapper is that while only the most intelligent and sophisticated artists are ever discovered they often devolve into a caricature of a Black woman defined through a cold, nihilistic and misandric variety of sexuality. These are women that can use a man for their own pleasure and gratification and then do away with them as though the relationships had never existed. It is sex for what sex is worth, without the consequence of a relationship through lyrics that reinforce ideas that exist in most pornographic material but are being vocalized through a woman's perspective.

• Man you need to come to my house. I know alot of people that have the biggest crush on you. If you want to find me, I stay in Huntsville, Alabama. I go to Chapman Middle School.

• I like her - she has an interesting style and she demands that you listen to her. I think the rationale that she could never be considered "one of the greats" because she marketed her sexuality is hypocritical. How many rappers out there started out by marketing their hyper-masculinity and thug-like behavior, and then evolved to the point where they are now taken seriously as musicians? Surely, Ms. Minaj has just as much chance of this with her hyper-femininity and provocative clothing.

• I agree. I appreciate her as a new female artist. She has her own style that no female rapper can top right now. Until something better comes along, I think she is here to stay.

• 6 bars, punchline, word play, voice effect.... Repeat over the course of 3 minutes. That's a Nicki Minaj song.. Your missing the entire point on this though Shea. Remember what it felt like when you first picked up Hardcore. Kim looked so damn good on that rug and spit so sexy, gangster, etc. that you damn near wanted to fuck the liner notes. No female MC has ever dont it better than Lauryn Hill, to me at least. You can throw Jean Grey out there if you like, I won't throw a fit about it. But what sets the female MC's from the 90's apart is they broke into the game and put a stamp on it during raps prime. Kim had to be sexy, Latifah had to be intellectual, Foxy was Kim light, MC Lyte- well no love for her. Even they found an avenue to exploit, they had to because they didn't have a choice. Nicki won't last, not becuase her rhymes are half ass but because times have changed. Attention spans are shorter, taste change more rapidly due to the internet and accesiblity to music, albums are collections of singles meant to enhance marketability- not tell a story. There is no way her lyrics will hold the same weight they hold now. Ask yourself that. If you bought her album solely due to her current popularity could you see yourself listening to it 5-10 years down the line. Pretty simple answer if you ask me.

• Potted meat with crackers when you're drunk is not bad. Anyway, I'm with your wife with this one. Could Nicki be biting of Lil Kim's style anymore? It's going down, BASEMENT! HAHA no thanks.
