King Baby Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If you look at female rappers before they generally hung with each other. Lil Kim, Missy and Mary J Blige rolled deep. Foxy rolled alone. Eve rolled with ruff ryders, and then something weird kind of happenned. Eve worked and hung out with Gwen Stefani, and it seemed like her status in Hollywood was bumped up. With Nicki Minaj right now, it seems she can't go anywhere without being attached to her crew...Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Britney Spears. These A-listers always shouting her out and giving Minaj praises. Do you think this affects how their fans view Nicki, and kind of helped moved about being a rapstar and into the realm of huge popstar like no female rapper before her?

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 No! It's like sponsorships... Throwing down tracks with A-Listers helps... But her music is also good.. And that's where it counts Kelly hangs out with Beyonce but has lackluster sales... JD was Janet's boyfriend but flopped... JLo dated half the A-Listers and will continue to flop At the end of the day... It's the music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Never thought I'd say this, but I mostly agree with Game on this. Just not a fan of her music, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utopia Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Helped her get the exposure she needed and helped putting her name on the map, not only that but she took a popular approach to her "music" , had she stayed with the Massive Attack sound or even take the more urban approach that TRUE rappers take she'd be a non factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her sound is to poppish for my voodoo soul. Never cared for her and probably never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrietta. Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Nicki's good, but I still say that debut album is a joke considering how long she was in the studio recording it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSimba Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'd say Lil' Wayne followed by Drake helped her career the most (such as that marriage publicity stunt on Twitter lol). Young Money was her career's launching pad. I'm not sure Brit, Riri, etc. would even know of her otherwise, but they gave her pop crossover appeal if anything. (*wishes I could say Mariah too , who I discovered Nicki thru* lol) And of course there's that whole Lil' Kim feud ("Urybody lurve Raymund!" That one video still kills me ). And yes, the "Monster" verse >>>>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
