do people really question nicki's technical skill as a rapper?
that seems really silly to me.
she's obviously concocted this entire pop mythology and weird stylistic quirks around that in her delivery but, at heart, she's a New York technician IMO.

I feel like there's a long tradition of people (men and women) assuming female rappers can't rap by default. You don't really need to compare Nicki to guys who do something completely different from her to make the point that she has skills (esp when one of those people is terrible).

i posted the vid on a Khaled thread but i don't think we really discussed it. it's hilarious but obv a joke/stunt to promote their new singles together so w/e.
Nicki's flow and vocal ability are crazy but if 'technical skill' encompasses the ability to consistently put together words that rhyme and make sense and sound good, she's pretty erratic. and her 'serious' verses are generally dull as dirt. compared to most of her contemporaries still pretty near the top, though.

yeah i guess i don't necessarily mean "technical skill" (in this sense) as a positive or negative term...I just mean in terms of being able to deliver rhymes very quick, crisply, etc etc....I'm not saying like Chino XL is the greatest rapper of all time or anything...but Nicki is definitely "skilled" in that sense, I guess I don't feel super strongly about her other than I enjoy her being around when I hear her, so I leave it to others to evaluate her as a rapper on the whole.

I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but Nicki Minaj raps her verse on the upcoming Big Sean album as a crack mom, and it is truly, truly abhorrent

if he play you, then rule #2: fuck his best friends then make them yes-men. get a dick pic and then you press send. and send a red heart and send a kissy face, and tell him that his friends love how your pussy taste
