nicki minaj
does anyone find her singing good?
do you think she raps and sings in all her songs? i know when rappers rap its hip hop but tbh i actually think since she puts r&B and pop in all her songs i actually find her to be more hip pop to be quite honest. what do u think? |

Some rappers do more pop/dance songs than hip-hop, i.e. Flo Rida & Pitbull |

I absolutely hate her singing/rapping. Most of the time I have to check the lyircs out to what she is hollering about as it's just mumbo jumbo.
I do like her though cos she is totally crazy. Complete and utter weirdo. Her outfits are just plain mad. And she comes out with some mental stuff when she does interviews. She makes Mariah Carey look like a little angel. LOL. |

I really like Nicki.
And it's not particularly unusual to put pop and RnB elements into hip hop songs. That has been, you know, the dominant sound in popular music over the past 10 years! ![]() I wouldn't say Nicki has many RnB elements in her songs though. Mainly dance/electro and pop elements. |

I like SuperBass and Fly but honestly when she raps I mostly have no idea what she's saying unless I watch a lyric video. It'll be interesting to see where she goes, will she be around for decades or will she fade like Lil Kim.

Oh she will definitely be around for a long time. She is doing something right with all these awards she is winning. Strange though as she has not had any UK no 1s, or USA no 1s. Hmmmm, why is she winning all these awards then? I don't think she is "all that" in USA.

she's smart and makes rap seem popular. which it generally isnt. and if you listen to hardcore rappers you can easily understand nicki. lord you'd think she was rapping in spanish. if you think nicki's hard to understand, try reggaeton. I understand it (bi-lingual and all) but nicki's not difficult to get.
there hasnt been a rap artist with pop appeal like nicki, musically and fashion wise. she'll probably be the biggest female rapper in music history by the time she retires. how many rap artists get to sit next to anna wintour (she's a bitch by the way ![]() ![]() ) by INVITE?!?!

It's "hip hop" that's not popular. There's loads of rappers popular at the moment, like LMFAO, Pitbull, Flo Rida, Ke$ha, etc, but they're not hip hop artists. |

hip hop is a style of music..rapping or rap is a style of performing
all those 'rappers' you mention are cack I was saying that rappers are popular today. Flo Rida, Pitbull, etc. are rappers. But they're not hip hop artists, they're dance artists, like Lady Gaga is, |

Thanks for repeating basically what I said.

i absolutely hated her when I heard Super Bass thought she was awful until I saw and heard the one she did with David Guetta was it (Where them girls at?). Wow that was fab, she was great, I love her solo bits, and strangely it's made me like her and all the rest she has done!

No I'm being serious. Nickis nearly outsold missy elliott, she'll easily outsell Lil' Kim, dont even start with Lil' Mama. SO I am being real.
there have been loads of rappers with 'pop appeal' as you put it.. MC hammer was a household name in his heyday and sold millions as was LL cool J. The biggest selling female rapper(s) of all time are salt n pepa who are multi paltinum...and easily outsold missy and lauryn and lil kim and every other female rapper. Minaj dosnt set any precedents with fashion as well...besides the fact she is ripping off missy all she does is dye her hair weird colours. hip hop fashion is every where, when you see someone wearing a pair of trainers for somthing other than sport that is hip hop when you see kids wearing there jeans round there knees and a basball cap that is hip hop. Nearly every pop boyband/girl band uses hip hop fashion at some point look at the latest ones little mix..Even east 17 used to dress in a 'hip hop style' Tommy hillfiger used to pay rappers to wear his clothes becuase when they did it sold. Adidas paid run dmc to wear there clothes. Wu tang clan have there own fashion label wu wear which has been going for years as does jay z |

Minaj is a sub standard rip off of what missy elliot was doing 20 years ago!.. singing and rapping, crazy outfits, blinking and jerking movments in her music videos.
