When she's good, she's pretty enjoyable, imo.
The Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape is pretty solid, esp. the title track, although that's as much due to the Sasha sample as anything else.

Honestly, I'm not sure how she'll sustain over proper album-length stuff, but as a female Wayne-equivalent for mixtapes and remix purposes, I'm fine with it.

"equivalent" is probably not the right word

I have NO IDEA. Been trying to figure this out - Lex told me it was Sasha and the internet seems to confirm this but other than that google is no help whatsoever.
But seriously that "hackle mi body" loop is wondrous.

She blew up a long time ago around here but I guess this is her "base" - she's definitely about to takover the pop world in 2010 and I'm excited for that she's awesome. Love her mixtapes but she's definitely improving, all of her recent guest spots steal the show. Excited to hear the "up owt my face" remix with Mimi
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 1 January 2010 23:48 (fourteen years ago) link
i enjoy her verses - i mean she is totally a wayne clone right down to sports references and stuff, but she can flow really well & i def enjoy her crazy wacko 98 different voices a verse schtick
idk if she's gonna blow up per se but "i get crazy" is pretty cool. i could see her having a real hit next year, i think being part of young money is a good look for her because she's so much better than all those dudes. def more than a token chick thing
i like her schtick on this

i <3 nicki. she's obviously v wayne-influenced but i think she's a lot more than just a wayne clone...this is what i wrote on the jukebox a while back:
I love her creative wordplay and commitment to quotability, and the fact that she’s raunchy but too surrealist and weird to box herself into just smutty ho-rap. Really versatile, too: she can handle everything from “Beam Me Up Scotty”, which wouldn’t sound out of place in a dancehall mix, to her touchingly vulnerable verse on the “Best I Ever Had” remix (”It’s so amazing…I figured out this world is ours for the taking”).
i'd add that she seems to have really strong musical instincts - she adapts herself to different beats really well. and she's improving all the time - as great as "beam me up scotty" was this time last year, i couldn't have imagined her pulling something like the "sweet dreams" remix off then.
i like her various voices - rev said elsewhere that it sometimes grates when there's a visual accompaniment b/c she often pulls stupid faces to go with them, she needs to cut that out. but they usually serve her well - like on "itty bitty piggy", when she cranks up the intensity and threatening vibe on that "i'm the wolf, where is little red riding hood" line, and on "saxon" when she bends her voice to the dubstep beat (much better than snoop or eve's excursions into dubstep imo).
i'm looking forward to her album dropping - tinged with a bit of trepidation, because her wacky instincts need to be balanced just right not to grate. and i wouldn't exactly mind if she dropped the babytalk either.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 2 January 2010 12:34 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, i dunno, some of my favorite rappers ever are of the 'wacky'/'animated' variety, but i don't feel like she really owns her schtick or pulls it off that well -- seeing her in the 5 Star video (anyone have the hilarious gif from that that they can post btw?) is like watching someone from a terrible sketch comedy troupe or something, like she's being funny on purpose but i'm still laughing at her more than with her.
