I'm Nicki Minaj, Nicki Lewinsky, Nicki the Ninja, Nicki the Boss, Nicki the Harajuku Barbie

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.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

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.

hey got a good friend looking for someone in LA to interview nicki for his fashion mag (reasonable $$ i think). drop me an e-mail if interested.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6j4f8cHBIM

Hmm... scooped.

First listen: this song is awesome, best thing she's put out in the last year. Nice to see some different voice-pastiches getting thrown into her Batman toolbelt here - particularly, I don't think I've heard the thing she does around 1:55 forward. It feels (to me) like she's verging into a wide set of real-life character impressions, like part of that could be Any Girl's Mom, and then the part that's Any Girl Practicing R&B Singing In Front Of The Mirror...I dunno. There's potential there.

I wish she would drop the candy-colored wig thing for just a little while - I love the look but I'm kind of into her dialing it down as this flattened-makeup, no-eyebrows thing she's doing in parts of this.
