26-year-old Trinidadian female rapper. Released a number of mixtapes under Lil Wayne's label before her rise to fame with Pink Friday. Has collaborated with artists such as Rihanna, Trey Songz, Eminem, etc.
She is a walking billboard for Young Money; she constantly attempts to slip the label's name in her songs, as if the very mention of this concentration of unbelievably gifted rappers makes critics piss their pants. The shameless advertising, as well as her outrageous outfits and stage personae, helps to distract from or enhance the otherwise mundane experience of listening to her sing/rap. Despite fervent claims that "Nicki Minaj is who you ain't fuckin' wit'," you may get away with it if you a) have a flow exceeding that of a corn husk, and b) can write about something other than slapping the MAC off of bitches and "How you doin' boy, you look fine enough for ME!"
Whether you love or hate her, her background, race, affiliation with YM members, and the curvaceous quality of her derriere should not have to affect your perception of her, as she is, to most of us, strictly an artist. Which is a shame, since her ass does look smack-worthy.

From Nicki Minaj's song, "Baddest Bitch":
"Got the Austin Power flow, I'm groovy, bitches
And no, you're no match for my oozie, bitches
I dumb my raps down so I don't lose these bitches
Say some sex shit like wetter than jacuzzi, bitches."
Struck some gold, didn't you, Wayne, you lucky dog.

24-year-old pop singer from Nashville, Tennessee that signed to Dr. Luke's Kemosabe label in 2005. Spent a good 4 years behind the scenes co-writing and providing vocals for other artists before releasing Animal.
Peeves about Ke$ha's music include overkill of autotune, inane lyrics, and the fact that it's even called "music." Contrary to its content, she isn't an alcoholic streetwalker. She admits she enjoys partying and drinking, but not in excess. She wouldn't appear in Flo Rida's "Right Round" video, for fear of being visually objectified.
However, she's not amazing. Yes, I have listened to "Goodbye," "Invisible," and the like. While "Kesha" is reputably fresher in style, the lyrical quality and her voice, while pleasant, is amateurish at best.
Fans have also come across and gloat about a little-known fact that her IQ is over 140. I'll be sure to keep that in mind when I have to turn in a 34-page astrophysics paper. However, as an artist, she proves to be just the kind of mediocre, clubbing-enthused pop star romping about, besides that giddy dash of glitter.
Not only are her lyrics "unique" and "ballsy," they are also empowering to women, such as in "Blah Blah Blah," when demanding guys to "show them where their dicks at," is considered an one-up to the number of times women have been objectified in music. Despite her noble goal, she seems to have forgotten that women empowerment doesn't equal misandry/male objectification.

From Ke$ha's infamous "Tik Tok":
"Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back."
Silly critics. That Jack Daniels bit was OBVIOUSLY meant to be absurdist.
