I believe I first heard Nicki about 2 years ago from a friend who is very in touch with underground music. I only heard one song and I was hooked immediately simply because of her delivery. As I said in my previous blog I love female rappers so I quickly added her to my collection. I was definitely hungry for more music and more information on this crazy rapper who some may think is very similar to other female rappers like Lil’ Kim or Foxy Brown. Now I can’t deny the fact that she is very similar to them because she took the “sex sells” route, but can you blame her? Nicki is a very pretty girl and why not accentuate your assets? Like many women nowadays say, if you’ve got it flaunt it. But, what sets her apart? To me it’s her technique. Of course she is rapping about a lot of things Lil’ Kim rapped about but it’s different. I feel like she has such a “dude” mentality. Nicki is like the female Wayne for me, AWESOME! When I think of Nicki the first thing I think of is GRINDING SEASON. She talks a lot about “grinding” or working hard at whatever she’s doing no matter what that thing is. So for me, Nicki is like an inspirational speaker so to speak. She may not be saying “Christal hit the books” or “step ya school game up” but she when she says “step ya pussy up”, I can’t help but want to push harder lol, whether I’m doing work or especially exercising.
Last night during a Superbowl commercial I asked some of my friends why they liked Nicki Minaj. They were mostly males and surprisingly only one of them said because of her looks. The other males said that they like her “swag” and what she raps about, they just sometimes have trouble getting past her crazy voice. The females I asked like her for some of the same reasons I do. I like to say she’s very swagalicious! Lol, you can’t say she doesn’t exude confidence and high self-esteem. I think that’s why a lot of girls like her. Nicki isn’t just a rapper, to me she promotes self-love and self-respect. She may talk about sex a lot but one of the songs I feel stand out to a lot of people isn’t about sex at all. This particular song, Still I Rise, is about overcoming obstacles and making it to the top despite what everyone else is saying about you and despite the fact there are people out there trying to make you fail.
Other than her rap skills and personality, I love how she has come up with this world of her own consisting of barbies. I was never a huge “Barbie” fan but I kind of like the whole think, on the low! Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone I said that. I would NEVER put pink track in the back of my hair or die it, nor would I dress up the way Nicki does but I love her style. I love everything about Nicki, she’s definitely a bad bitch! Now she does make think very highly of herself and some may take that as being cocky or conceited and making herself out to be more than she really is, but I look at it as setting high standards and I’m excited to watch as she lives up to them.

i can't believe she made her own dictionary, thats awesome. so to answer your question about lil' wayne: im not a fan of rap in general which is mostly the reason, and i don't like his voice. its really creepy. i DO like when he is in little parts of good songs like "down" by jay sean. love that song.
ReplyDeletehahah nicki ftw!! She definitely has swag that makes people like her. haha that dictionary is too funny
ReplyDeleteNicki Minaj is so sick. She tears it up in BedRock and she's just a good rapper. Much respect for her
