he's only been here a year or two, used to post as killah priest.

what forks said

u otm tho tbrr w/u

this has me dying:

genuinely sounds less put-on than kate nash's accent

:D

bottoms up and monster both feel like steps in the right direction to me
i just really need this girl to get like 20% more substance and i dunno maybe the same amount of style?
I was watching a BET tv-doc about female rappers and Nikki D basically said all props to nicki for being a success but she isn't saying much of anything and that's kind of where I'm still at.

i have no idea what forks is talking about

anyway this is a bit rich coming from a magazine that laps up the jizz of people like kaws, but it's still a nice gesture & a pretty cover

Jordan, u seriously don't follow me? I like Nicki's style and she's got nice flow but her raps are fucking lamentable, she hasn't seemed capable of a live performance onstage (she's been dubbed in the five or six appearances I've seen televised) and while recent singles suggest she's fucking about in a direction that's more pleasing to me she's still lyrically garbage

idk man

the whole "she's not saying anything" argument doesn't mean much to me -- she raps about flossing & i think she can do it pretty well -- she can flow like a motherfucker, my problem is that i just can't get past the robin williams thing

she IS pretty hairy

for nicki style is substance

then again, some might say her schtick is pretty played out, particularly when done in this pseudo-ironic, tongue-in-cheek style

a+ cover

wtf does "she isn't saying much of anything" even mean?! she isn't being deep'n'meaningful? she has a limited set of themes? i mean hell0 welcome to most rappers we love. how precisely are you defining "content" here?

her raps are fucking lamentable

this though is just flat-out wrong, and has never actually been right. she has a couple of horrible singles and a few blah guest spots in the debit column but a whooooole load of greatness on the other side. wtf do you even mean here? give me an example of how her lyrics or whatever it is you're referring to is lamentable. not "your love" or "check it out" which everyone hates.

for me, she had to win me over style-wise. the voices, the barbie schtick, the cartoonish shit - i'm on board with it for the most part now, but it was her raps that made me a fan in the first place.

i'm defining content as storytelling/making a decent metaphor/doing anything more than stringing together a series of barely related words just because they happen to rhyme and fit the syllable count

just looked over thread and most of the lyrics you're calling exemplary (say the "keys to the benz" bit on bottoms up) are exactly what i'd cite as garbage, so I just think we're gonna have to agree to disagree... though i'm amused that you're all like WTF GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE (except for these horrible songs)

i'm defining content as storytelling/making a decent metaphor/doing anything more than stringing together a series of barely related words just because they happen to rhyme and fit the syllable count

she does this and always has done, idk what nicki songs you've been listening to but i can prob guess the ones you haven't

my favourite nicki lyrics are probably either "itty bitty piggy" or "keys under palm trees"

the first time I paid attention to her was when she gets to that "rim rim rim" line in Bottoms Up. I don't have a problem with her. complaining about her "content" in the context of modern pop is sorta um waht? I agree with lex on that point

whatever nicki has mad fucking swag and is great fun + a female voice in rap right now. fuck the haters

i listened to beam me up scotty about twice and then put it away so yeah, neither of those songs made much impact on me. I've probably heard ten or eleven singles and guest spots above and beyond that.

you are not fun

this right here is my not fun swag

hahaha!

i dunno nicki's appeal to me is just so obvious. not trying 2 be a dick

me neither! i'm not trying to say you shouldn't like her, i'm just talking about my response. YMMV is the constant refrain.

her appeal really isn't obv to me either

ok well then i'm tryna be a dick

i honestly don't understand the voices thing -- it's like different for the sake of being different -- it's like digging asher roth raps about going to penn state

it's funny!

or like the seligh bells blown out speaker annihilation aesthetic -- i don't see what it adds to the music at all -- it's distracting & fucks up what is obv real talent

right but it's funny like the rest of young money are clowns funny

the voices appeal to me because they're funny and liven up her delivery. it's all about energy and persona for me... she'd still be a good emcee without them and a lot her stuff before she started using all the voices is actuallly my fave material of hers, but yeah I don't find them to be an obstacle or anything, they're entertaining - don't get the asher comparison it's not like she's the first rapper to use funny voices/rap in a comical persona or something

the rest of young money is just boring, I'm laughing AT them moreso than anything else

fucks up what is obv real talent

yeah this is maybe true. i dunno the other young money people are just obviously wack to anyone rap nerd or not. i know loads of ppl who don't give a shit about rap who are suddenly talking about nicki. don't expect to hear them telling me how much they lock mack maine or whoever in this eternity xp

i can't remember the last rapper (esp a pop rapper of her stature) to rap in literally 10+ different voices in one song

well yeah obv she takes it to another level (which is part of her appeal - the wackiness, WHICH VOICE WILL SHE USE NEXT OMG)

honestly i think it's dope when she dips into the voices thing sometimes, but it's really overkill -- it's like dabbling in some fetish porn or something & all of a sudden your watching some chick dressed like little red riding hood drinking the piss of a fox

she's like playing dress-up with every new voice and persona (she makes distinctions between Nicki the Ninja, Roman Zolanski, etc.) - she's just a genuinely fun and entertaining figure who has obvious technical talent, if she didn't use the voices she'd still be good but they set her a part - I guess whether that's in a good or bad way is up to you

yeah i mean it's quite clear she's trying to carve a niche out for herlef that isn't just like smut rap or whatever. whether that's the best route for her i dunno but she's doing pretty good imo

*herself ....drunk

lol so Nicki is apparently inspiring an entire generation of slam poets

Nicki Manaj took some of her swag from Tammy Faye Baker

The Kingdom Dub of Sean Kingston's Letting Go is totally wonderful for summertime purposes, and is basically just Nicki + synths + air sirens.

I like to think of myself as a Young Money-ologist so I'll field this one.

She no longer goes by Nicki Lewinski (she felt it was inappropriate after she garnered so many young fans) but she used to because she felt Monica Lewinsky could have been very powerful if she had been smarter. Monica Lewinsky could have exploited her close relationship with the President and made things happen for herself.
