i think she does "menacing" a lot better than "wacky" tbh - her humour's best when it's incidental (cuz she is pretty damn funny anyway, without the voices or the faces)

defintiely agree that the WACKY/barbie shit is not her best, but I like the animation and the facial expressions and stuff, she's actually ENTERTAINING and funny.

I like Nicki Minaj but I really don't like this song. The beat stopping every two seconds like each line is a home run drives me nuts.
Also, "Swinging on a vine... MANGO."
― Shannon Whirry and the Bad Brains, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 14:36 (thirteen years ago) link
her interviews depress me because she comes off pretty humble and self-effacing for a rapper (especially a female rapper, considering how psycho most of the big ones have been historically), and i agree with a lot of what she says about how rap shouldn't take itself too seriously, i just really can't stand her idea of fun.

damn, rich four four went extremely hard (in a post about mariah)
Nicki Minaj, whose catchphrases, self-fellating comparisons, and Family Guy approach to referencing (it doesn’t matter if it’s smart or applicable, so long as it’s a reference!) make her an ideal collaborator for this project. Minaj doesn’t only shit on the notion of artistry, she does so on the entire notion of communication. (I’ll say a lot more about this scourge on pop music when her album comes out, as I like her less each day that goes by. For now, my assessment of Minaj is that she is a geyser of unclever nonsense, and as such, a human waste of time.)
― hipster puddy (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 21:58 (thirteen years ago) link
"family guy approach to referencing" is exactly the right way to describe the young money era
― hipster puddy (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 22:00 (thirteen years ago) link
always loathed family guy so yeah, i would agree. 'unclever' wrt this stuff is a nicely precise turn of phrase too, moreso than stoopid or whatever etc.
otoh the artistry/communication line seems flawed in the sense that minaj is plainly an ultimate representation of the culture around her rather than some sort of lurid solo maverick (whatever some might feel) - ie clearly a communication is being made, even if it is shitty in comparison to what we as oldsters hold dear.
(stranger still is running with that angle whilst at the same time writing off mariah's memoirs in opposition to her not keeping up with the times like she did on e=mc2; if mariah had managed to pull a more collaborative album off successfully in 2010 how would the artistry and communication involved therein been any more valid than minaj's? would the "creative energy" sparked off by working with drake really have been something to savour?)

it's just a total mess, altho the bridge is nice
i don't really think the "you're missing the point by paying attention to the lyrics!" argument applies to this single at all considering it's barely catchy and mostly totally unpleasant to listen to (and sean garrett is involved, who woulda thunk?!) -- that argument applies to, say, "every girl"

"massive attack" is way more pleasant to listen to than "every girl" (and i like "every girl" fine) - it could use a touch less garrett vocals, but it's no more a mess than "i'm that chick" or "bird flu" or any number of stop-start drum-heavy tracks. and coming up with something like this is a huge relief considering it could've been something like "spotlight".

I would be absolutely knocked-over shocked if she truly never releases music again. I mean, I have no problem with her saying she's "retiring," I just don't know why we have to take it seriously. 9 times out of 10 "retiring" just means "I'm taking some time off and don't want people harassing me so I'm just gonna say I'm retiring"

i like "hiss" a lot in general. annoying but typical that it's being reported as a diss track when it's pretty much meg's repudiation of all the heinous vitriol she received during the whole shooting/trial saga, the handful of lines suggesting specific 'critics' aside. of course mrs. goofy's embarrassing/pathetic behavior has now made it a 'nicki minaj diss' in the public eye but oh well, what probably would have just been a strong statement track (like previous single "cobra") is now on its way to becoming an actual hit from the looks of it
