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.
