Dear Nicki,
Hey Boo Boo, what’s good? No we’ve never met, so this may seem awkward, but this is Rob the Music Ed. from XXL and I got something I just wanna put out there. I started hearing your name bubbling early 2008, but never really knew. Then DJ Sickamore showed up to the office with your Sucka Free mixtape. The cover was something else and the music was cool, you had a few joints on there. But I’m not the jump out the window type, feel me? I had to make sure you were here to stay. Instead I just kept my eye on you, admiring from a far.
Now my love for hip-hop femininity probably began with Lil’ Kim, but that was B.I.G.’s girl and you know how Brooklyn do; we don’t play disrespect. Then there was Lauryn. We started talkin’ to each other around the same time The Score came out and she became my official girl when The Miseducation… dropped, but then she left me for that Marley dude and has been M.I.A. ever since. Fuck it, her loss. I ain’t gonna lie ma, there were flings with Foxy, Shawnna, Trina; but not Remy though, she was dope but I heard too many lyrics about her beasting-out on dudes. (Hold your head Rem; we got stoopid love for you). Still, there was no single rap female that could completely hold me down. I got needs girl; your spit game gotta be crazy, flows gotta be wet and your sex appeal gotta be through the roof.
I guess what I’m saying is; I need a new hip-hop chick. It’s been a minute and truthfully, you’re the baddest chick out—it’s really no denying it. As I’m writing you this letter I’m bumping Beam Me Up Scotty and this shit is official tissue, sweetie. Lyrics are crazy (”I’m ’bout my money mama/And tell Michelle I got my eye on Barack Obama”), the style is stoopid (let’s see how many broads pop up with the Moni Love English accent now) and the swag is super sexy (”I never knew my titties were bigger than Pamela”- shit me either), plus you can sing (I mean you ain’t no Mary, but the melodies be poppin’).
So now the ball is in your court shorty. You gonna take this game over or what? There is a void in this rap shit and right now you cruisin’ in your lane, but can you mash the pedal? I need to see you at 100. I know you’re with Young Money and I know you’re tight with Gucci and OJ and ‘em and that’s cool, but I’m ready for that Nicki Minaj shit. That Nicki Ninja shit, Nicki Lewinsky, the Black Hannah Montana, the Harajuku Barbie; feel me? The ladies need someone that they can truly relate to and the men need someone they can lust over, can this be you?
So you gonna be my hip-hop girl or not? Check yes or no.
[] Yes
[] No
[] Maybe
P.S. I ain’t one of these dudes that’ll jump you off and download your album for free when it comes out; nah baby I’ma spend some dough and buy that shit when it drops. It ain’t trickin’ if you got it!
Lustfully Yours,
Rob the Music Ed.

Doesn’t matter though. Nicki Minaj ain’t never gonna jump off. Who is handling business if the “CEO” of your “label” is running around on syrup, shakin’ his ass and trying to be a “crossover” artist? Nobody that’s who. Nicki do yaself a favor and parcel out the stank to a n*gga that’s really in a position to get you poppin’. Weezy is Birdbrain’s b*tch. And who wants to be a hoe’s hoe?

The Nigerian Barbie says:
wayne can be all that, but that’s YOUR personal opinion. wayne is an ENTERTAINER & no matter what it is that he does, he WILL sell & he’s on his shit, making his money & doing his thing. you dont have to like it but wayne is that nigga & aint no denying it.
^[TO WORLEY]^
as for nicki, true enough Young Money is a label that is becoming known for not giving their artists the right publicity or even launching their careers & true enough unforgettable talented rappers that have VERY high chances to make it big like Nicki & Drake MIGHT go to waste but they have all been given a chance to sign to another label so if Young Money doesn’t do what they’re supposed to do, the artists’ label of choice can take over, but ONIKA MARAJ aka NICKI MINAJ bka NICKI LEWINSKY is a VERY eloquent & a smart chick. i have enough faith in her to PROMISE you that she won’t let her talent go to waste & her career won’t be disappointing. she is driven & she’s hungry for the shit so don’t even doubt that.
you all are letting her looks overpower everything else. you all say she is not “that good” & all that but she doesn’t try to be something she’s not. she raps about being a woman, her experiences, what she wants outta life & YES SEX! so what?! if you don’t relate to HER, you won’t relate to her MUSIC & if all you see when you look at her is a piece of ass then OF COURSE when you listen to her music the only songs that will grab your attention are the ones similar to the “freaky girl remix” & “coochie shop”.
call it what you want, nicki appeals to the people & of course EVERYBODY is not gonna like her but that’s expected. shit really she’s the only one doing it the way she does it, she has her own style & people love that, I LOVE THAT!, you cant say she’s only getting notoriety because of her looks cause it’s a whole BUNCH of underground bitches rappin’ that look good [no homo] but why don’t we know them? CAUSE NICKI’S RUNNING IT.
other femcees have talent true, but you can’t say nicki is wack & you can’t say she won’t blow cause that’s A DAMN LIE. i mean she WAS just on Mixtape Daily with MTV & she has the same manager as the members of So Icey Ent. so if they gettin’ seen, she will too. bet that. LOVE YOU NICKI - MUAH!

The_Truth says:
***Blame Foxy Brown/ Lil-Kim for the death of REAL female MC’s. . .
. . .the industry now uses the same formula for every female rapper: Make sure people want to F*CK her, and she can rhyme how good her p*ssy/ head is.
Mia-X/ Da Brat/ Jean Grae/ MC Lyte/ Storm (worked with Mac/ 2pac)/ etc. are ALL extinct breeds of female MC’s due to the success of Lil-Kim/ Foxy Brown.
Nicki Manaj is just a good piece of ass to look at, you will NEVER drop classic music with that being your gimmick. I’m more interested in seeing her album covers than wasting 0:01 downloading that bullshit she calls “music”.
Do a flick and spit a rhyme at the end. . .otherwise you’ll get MURDERED by a true female MC. I’m not from NY but this is EMBARRASING to the legacy of female-MC’s that come from the city. Get of ATL’s d*ck and pick up your pen &pad, mama.

Nikki Manaj brings nothing new to the table she is just a nice piece of ass that can perform a sentence. I would rather that breezy just got naked or do pron than give a serious slot in the hip-hop patheon. But I keep forgeting how much you guys love dry humping the latests d bag artist trend.

So much hate on here. You can be critical without being a downright asshole.
I think Nicki has skills, and she’ll grow more into her own in the future. She’s been getting better since I first heard her. And I for one enjoy her attitude. All these male rappers out here continuously mention their “swag” and their appeal, but when a female does it, the world turns on her.
FUNNY HOW WE CAN BE EXPLOITED… but when we get out there and act sexy and conceited, you men hate it. F*ck outta here.
I’m pretty sure she’s gonna bring something different to the table. Nicki, I believe in you baby. Keep doing the damn thing!

This is just my opinion, as of course i to have 1.
first much respect to pioneer’s and that goes as far back as the lyte! You can’t take nothing from female mc’s that set the tone. We have diffrent era’s of hip-hop, My neice is 16 she not intrested in listening to kim or fox or anybody that came out in 96, because her ears are different, there’s a new sound now. It’s been over ten years since another female really made a stamp on rap, besides those pioneers. So Really…is it not just due? Nicki is far from trash. She’s outta the box that most of you so called hip-hop lovers are stuck in. I mean even fox and kim done ventured off into doin other shit, Everybody screamin they names more than they scream they names themselves, they made a print in the game, we well aware by now that at least those two names are not going anywhere in hip-hop! Nicki’s very intellegent, outta this world creative and just an overall a good look for what she’s doin. ? who’s in her lane. no fuckin body!!!! She sounds like nobody! Like a-z-cra! Nicki’s rap is up to date, fresh, exciting, fun, and so on….Everything has image, i fail 2 see 90% of the club come out on a sat with what they had on earlier that day, naw cuz it’s image and u gotta get right to come out and put on fa ya city! Everyone frontin cuz nicki is supa eye candy…and that shit is hard for bitches to except on a regular day so at star status it’s bruising to bum bitches ego’s, cuz now they have to extra step they pussy up and 1/2 the time the buget ain’t long enough for them to do so, so whats next: HATE! my eye candy bitches feel me!
End result: Nicki’s relevant, will be for a long time, not in just the fields of rap but other ventures as well, so yea…right now she good wit bein pippen, but be prepared when she starts 2 play a new position. (D)I breath hip-hop and i feel that she got what it take to go to any level in entertaining! Most of these female mc’s hollerin dat gangsta shit wasen’t no Santra Rucker either gettin gwap like dat, so what eva image nicki set for herself works for her, cuz at the end of the day, when the pen hit the pad she deliver and keep’em hangin on and thats what it’s about, bein able to produce! Remember we females use 2 and still keep diary’s. Were Born writer!
It’s not enough haters to even stop her! People luv her EARLY! Bee-lee-dat

Nicki Minaj has a lane. She stays in that lane. Same can be said for Jean Grae.

I love Jean too but I see nothing wrong with Nicki being around as well. Shit, we do it with “male” hip hop all the time. Same thruway, different’ lanes.

U cant say someone isnt a good MC cause of a sexy appeal. We suppose to be sexy & grimmy and Nikki posses all that. Her lyrics are beyond just F***ing…she taks about the in and out thats females deal with…dudes, money, get it in, tha hustle.It wat every female posses whether you’re a lawyer or a stripper.
