I've written it a 100 times and despite the sort of manufactured hits only Weezy can buy it remains true. Nicki Minaj was born to be part of a posse, as a solo act she has neither the looks nor the personality and as a live act, despite word that her Roseland earlier this gig was excellent, the times I've seen her she has been horrible.
Now that her third remixed rematched attempt to resell Pink Friday, The Reup, has gone the way with all flesh, and despite it including six new wraps, the overextended NM is looking in her rear mirror.
So blame Hut 97.
After refusing to perform at a sold out Summer Jam in June, Nicki called Station Director 'Ebro to tell him to stop playing her music. 'Ebro: "I said, 'Rosenberg ruined Nicki Minaj's career' – evidence suggests based on this Re-Up release, the things said about her being pop and selling out and making that pop music came back to haunt her," Now, she puts six rap records on this album and it didn't sell… I get the phone call, the international number pops up, I answer the call, it's my friend Nicki Minaj, who then starts to proclaim how I'm fake. She used every woman's stab she could – 'I thought you were a man, you're a cornball, I thought we were friends, you're fake, everyone told me you were fake' "I said, 'Nicki, I'm helping you. I'm keeping you in the Hip Hop conversation. This Hip Hop thing's a competition; you're either ringing, or you're not, and just like I said yesterday, i love you, boo and I'll dust you off and make sure this thing is popping off again.' And she goes, 'Don't ever play my music again'… of course we are. I love Nicki Minaj."
Hmm, busy time for Nicki, Steve Tyler is a racist and Hot 97 are fakes and Nicki is a tram player who got lucky.
