WHO IS NICKI MINAJ?
Any encounter with Nicki Minaj will arouse a heightened sense that there’s more to her than meets the eye and inspire the desire to experience this modern day “Wonder Woman”.
The 23 year old native of Jamaica, New York (Queens, Southside) is a writer, singer, actress and hip-hop artist. Her “Wonder Woman” characteristics are embodied in the three facets of Nicki Minaj: Nicki the Ninja, Nicki the Harajuku Barbie and Nicki the Boss.
Nicki the Ninja is a hip-hop lyrical assassin who’s sometimes naughty. Nicki the Harajuku Barbie accentuates the qualities of an imaginative, fun fashionista that loves all things pink. This is also the muse who ignites the transformation of Nicki’s performances as an R&B/pop singer and future rock star icon. Nicki the Boss is the austere business woman that always thinks outside of the box.
Nicki honed her ability and star potential at the renowned New York school of performing arts featured in the movie and TV series FAME. It wasn’t long before she began to attract the attention of local producers and hip-hop artists. She was reluctant at first to cast herself as a rapper due to the thought the industry would attempt to limit her to one thing, when she knew that she was so much more. She accepted the challenge and has embarked on the journey of a female emcee in a hip-hop world dominated by males.
It wasn’t long before her lyrical skills were sought after by rap powerhouse Lil Wayne. Success was inevitably achieved with her critically acclaimed performance credit on the The Come Up DVD and mixtapes like Play Time is Over and Sucka Free. Nicki’s now a featured artist and the leading lady of Wayne’s record label Young Money Entertainment.
Currently unsigned and considering numerous major label deals, Nicki’s in the studio recording her first rap album which will also feature touches of pop and R&B. Nicki’s also considering several acting roles, including playing the lead character of Erica Payne in the film adaptation of the Charge it to the Game by author Michele A. Fletcher and is the current winner of the Under Ground Music Awards (UMA) female artist of the year.

My first time seeing Nicki, but clearly she’s what it is and always will be. How fine is this mu%^*&$#^a?
I thought Nikki Minaj was like soo gangster because my friend was like she goes hard. I look at her on the video and she isn’t hard at all. She talking all prissy, got the nails and ****. Lil Kim was the same,but I believed her toughness. This Nikki chick… I don’t know. Maybe I have to hear some different music because the ones on the video were kind of prissy, singing and such.
all of these song are the SugarHoneyIceTea young money baby (twist & za & drake r the cutest)

aye buddy!!! i think that nikki is okay (her lyrics)
Congratulations to everyone who can bank on this artform but don’t get it twisted–this doesn’t necessarily mean in any way that you are dope. I heard her music and her interview on satellite radio and was traumatized by what came out the speakers. “I Go Crazy”? Yeah, I did go crazy. Anything can be promoted with a good staff and some paper and, unfortunately, there are people out there who find mediocre/garbage hip-hop to be hot. Am I hating? Just listen to the lyrics sober and you tell me. I missed the real days of hip-hop where you would literally get your a$$ kicked for spittin’ some garbage like that. Don’t forget KRS used to throw ppl off the stage!
WELL UM I DNT KNO WHERE DEY GET DAT SHE GO HARD FROM CUZ SHE DNT SHE JUST A STANK HOE FROM A DIRT HOUSE TA ME SHE LOOK FAKE HER VOICE SOUND FAKE **** HER ASS PROBLY FAKE MY **** I MEAN DAMN BUT LUK IM MAD CUZ SHE TRIED TO GET WIT MY MAN AT DIS PARTY AN I AM A CELEBERTIY AN I AM A RAPPER BUT DAT **** RIGHT THERE NOPE YEP SHE HATED ON MOSTLY BY ME ****.
