By now we have all seen the Keys- Nikki Minaji diss if not honey look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W8_xOWd4-Y.I first saw this clip courtesy of Necole Bitchie. Before I watched the clip, I read the comments of other viewers. For the most part every comment I read stated that the artist to be who goes by the name Keys was fat, broke, and ugly. So after that I had to watch the video. So one minute go by I'm like wow " This b^tch simply not rapping right", I chuckled to myself. After three minutes "Faker than that a$$ you got" by this time I'm laughing out loud. When it was over I was thinking that was just what hip hop needed.
First, let me start off by saying I do not agree with someone's success being based off another person humiliation. However I also don't agree with someone proclaiming they the best but have no competition. In other words to be the best you have to beat the best.
To address Keys, I feel like she did her thang and what many of us were thinking. I know what I was thinking because I have yet to join the Nikki bandwagon. But still I appreciate everybody work, so do you Nikki. I must admit Keys got flow; she actually made me believe in female rappers again. I'm happy she wasn't talking about all the money she can get from men, how sexy she is, or just so much sex in general that you need a condom to listen to it.
Keys was actually following tradition but looked upon as hating these days, she was battling. Everybody know especially in the black community we were taught if you fight go hard or you going get it when you get home and that's what she did. She did it the safest way, verbally and displaying her craft at the same time. Although I would have never took that approach, it was needed.
To Nikki, I can appreciate your hustle, creativity, and ability to brand. However WTF you be talking about and in what voice. Sometimes I be listening to her thinking I'm going crazy because of her different accents. I actually can't say ye or nay to Nikki because I haven't heard much of her material other than whats on the radio. So everybody keep telling me to check out her mixtape, but I feel if you good I shouldn't have to dig for evidence that proof should be on mass communication such as the radio. Nikki declared her self to be the bestest, but she had no competition. With my girl Eve off the scene and Trinia somewhere shopping in Miami who she was going against?
To sum it up I think Keys is cute but do it matter because when did people start buying music because people was cute? If so Biggie would have not been number one and arguably the greatest of all time. Y'all say Keys broke, everybody starts from somewhere. Onika did not have money until she became Nikki. To Nikki keep doing what you doing I may not get it but people love you. To society love people for their craft and not exterior or butt literally.

i really have a hard time trying to decipher the fascination w/ Minaj. i think it's moreso the fact that, as you stated, she is a female emcee and there really aren't many around. like yourself, i cannot hate Minaj's hustle. but since i am a product of the old school - M C Lyte, Latifah, Monie Love, even Foxy, Lil Kim, Eve, I find it hard to really get into the whole Barbie Doll thing.
ReplyDeleteeither that, or maybe i am just too old for hipness.
