Oh man – and ladies – are you in for a hell of an interview on this week’s On da Come Up with the bubbly and oh so very seductive Nicki Minaj. It was hard to keep professional on this one but before I’m dubbed a chauvinistic pig let YaBoy explain Minaj isn’t just looks.
Also known as Nicki Lewinsky, the young Southside Jamaica, Queens emcee has the lyrical prowess and witty delivery to one day become rap’s first lady. Minaj won Female Artist of the Year early this month at the Underground Music Awards. Most impressively she was the first artist Lil’ Wayne signed to Young Money Entertainment.
Minaj is a serious threat to bubble gum emcees; cat in the hat rhymes will get you embarrassed. Read and see what Minaj had to say about earning respect as a woman in Hip-Hop, working with Weezy F Baby and squatting sucking on a lollipop.
YaBoy: Miss Minaj what’s goodie? I see you doing well [laughs].
Nicki Minaj: Hey Honey! I can’t complain, just saving the female rap game right now – ya heard?
YaBoy: I dig; it sounds like money in the bank. Tell Hip Hop Ruckus readers a little about where you come from and how you got into rhyming.
Nicki Minaj: Straight out of Southside Jamaica, Queens – New York City. I’m about pussy power – female empowerment. I love my girls. I want them to start being their own bosses. I started rhyming because I’m good at it – I actually sing and act. I’m just an all around bad bitch [laughs].
YaBoy: [Laughs] – I hear that. Who are some of your musical influences?
Nicki Minaj: Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley, Foxy Brown, Jay, Wayne da President, Leona Lewis and Natasha Bedingfield. I’m just a fan of good music.
YaBoy: Nice. In a male dominant game you have proven to be lyrically imposing as certified by winning the Underground Music Award’s Female Artist of the Year. With that said, do you feel you need to work twice as hard to receive the same respect and accolades that a male emcee would?
Nicki Minaj: Oh, of course, that goes without saying. First, let me formally say thank you to the UMAs. I would have been happy just to have been nominated honestly. It feels good for your hard work to be recognized, you know? It’s like I’ve had to fight for respect and my journey has just begun. I’ve had so many doors closed in my face but for once I can say I won. As for feeling the need to work hard, hey I don’t mind. Hard work pays off. Let the games begin.
YaBoy: For those who may not be in the know, you are the first artist signed to Lil’ Wayne’s Young Money label. What was your initial reaction when you received news that Wayne wanted to sign you to the label?
Nicki Minaj: Lil’ Wayne is amazing. That’s all I’ll say about that.
YaBoy: Brevity is the soul of wit [laughs]. What has it been like working with Weezy F Baby?
Nicki Minaj: It’s been a learning experience – I get to see a genius at work. I’ve learned plenty of other things that I don’t care to discuss at the moment.
YaBoy: Is there anything you learned about your craft from working alongside that you may not have known or been as proficient beforehand?
Nicki Minaj: Well I’ve learned I’m great under pressure. I used to second guess myself but now I know that whether I have 10 minutes or 10 hours to write my verse it’s gonna be hot. You know why? Cause I’m Nicki Minaj hoe! [Laughs]
YaBoy: [Laughs] Word, you wild! So what is Nicki Minaj working on in the studio? What should fans expect to hear from you in the coming year?
Nicki Minaj: A very special album. My original music is coming out hot. It’s kind of scary to me – I didn’t even know I had it in me. You can expect hard lyrics and me singing on my own tracks. I’m doing pop sounding music, just everything man, you’re gonna love it.
YaBoy: Talk about loving it, I wouldn’t be doing my job as a writer if I didn’t talk about the picture of you squatting sucking on the lollipop [laughs]. You leaving fellas and I’m sure certain ladies drooling, so I have to ask, is Nicki Minaj a free agent or has somebody handcuffed you already?
Nicki Minaj: [Laughs] hmmm handcuffed, I like the sound of that. [Laughs] hmmm, all I can say is if you wanna lick the rapperrr hit up www.myspace.com/nickiminaj.
YaBoy: [Laughs] I think this been the best On da Come Up interview thus far. Any last words?
Nicki Minaj: Yes, shout out to you and everyone at HipHopRuckus.com! Shout out to my So Icey Entertainment family and a big juicy kiss to everyone that supports Nicki Minaj! [Kisses]

She’s a cute girl and I’m a fan of anyone who is for the ladies. Besides that she works with Weezy and he don’t fuck wit lames so she has to be on. I look forward to hearing her music.

She’s a whore. She is way more valuable then she represents herself. She is a Queen who acts like a damn prostitute. Any woman that acts like her obviously has lost their soul/spirit whatever you want to call it. She is disrespectful to herself. Them be the type of woman who end up with a disease or on crack later in there lives because they didn’t have the correct love for themselves in the first place. Who ever disagree is obviously ignorant this isn’t the type of woman you would want to marry or introduce to your mom and grandma. This is the type of girl you get to suck your dick then tell everybody if she doesn’t first. What if your daughter grew up to be like her you would whoop her ass. That shit is exactly the reason why we are in the situation we are in and to see that you muthafuckas are just fine with it shows how fucking much the human race has developed I mean damn are we moving backwards. The dudes she fucks can’t respect her if they did they would let her know she was a queen and she didn’t have to do the shit she does for exposure and to be accepted. SAD!

Man imma beat natesha ass about talkin’ bout my wife. me and her is gonna get married in california cuz the dont let the same sex get married out here but any way you just mad cuz you aint thick
shes a whore
She is awesome. There are no chicks in the game like her right now. All the haters can continue to hate. If you don’t like her, then don’t listen to her. She could spit back in the day and now. Don’t be jealous, she is doing her thing and I’m glad she is here. She is FIRE!!!! Fuck all you haters and sorry ass feminists.
She has no Lyrical Skills, her Rap is WACK. She has a gimmick (her ass) and that is why she’s on the scene. LYRICALLY and RAP Skills are not even close to Missy Elliot, Little Kim, Rage, Latifah!! Her rhymes could be written by a 2 year old, people listen to what she’s saying in her raps, it’s a bunch of jibberish!!!!+
Nicky is top of the FOOD-CHAIN. Nicky is the finest speciman of nature. SHe is the most beautiful Lady the world has ever seen. She is talented. I’m in Africa, Southern Africa, and I dont give a shit about all you Black haters and and Good for nothing immigrants who are bent on hateing everyone. Just get a life and leave Nicky alone. We love what she does. And all you haters are doing nothing! Why do you take pleasure in insulting other people and calling them whores? Where the fuck were you when she was sexing up all those Rappers? Or all ur trying to tell us is that when ur moms and pops fucked to make u, the whole world was watching. Life is about appreciating and loving one another. Its either you put up or shut up. So if all u haters have small useless, STI’s stunted dicks, and you have plain looking-fleshless,, tasteless cunts, and all u do is hate on gifted and good looking people like Nicky, then FUCK OFF. Nicky is a star. So Nicky, keep shining sweetheart.
man fucck awl dissz biitchassz hattasz gett off of herr pussyyyyyy…….yall know she dha best upon diss badd biitch gamee ….ummmm lyk yhu dontt lyk her denn wtf? rr yhu iin diss thnqq..???????? yhu still makee her FAMOUSZ byy hattinqq herr eiithaa wayy she qettinqq moneyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! disz qoes fer NATESHA how dah fucck iit she qunn fucck gudda wenn deyy brothassssss ……..yhu fucckiin punk dumbass silly biitchhhh;;;; ii LOVe yhU NiCki Minaj .yerr dahh bombbb mane lyk real tawk.
May I have everyones attention at the end of the day she is still getting money so anyones negative comments don’t mean shit while you sit on the computer and talk about her she is just another million away to getting even more money and you’re just 1 check away to finish paying you’re packed up bills you’ve been struggling to pay so with that said love her or hate her but if she is respecting you as a person then show respect back if not then hey have a nice day and if someones daughter dose end up being a prostitue then whos fault was it to put her on the right path? The parents where were they? I have spoken
muito gata
