I don't expect much of ya'll to know who this... gentlewoman is.

But for those who do - Her flow and style is really reminiscent of Prince's track "Silicon" with weird juxtapositions of blunt metaphors and stylized, off-kilter rhyming.

So cue up your "Silicon" track. Listen to it.

And then listen to..

The 2 songs are cousins and her rap flow is very similar to Prince's on "Silicon"...

Does she have a CD out?

Seeing as how I don't like "Silicon", I won't be watching that video.

I've seen this chick. She ain't impressive in the least. A lot more hype than substance w/ her.

is more impresed by her Rihanna style singing than her rap flow or fashion style....

She's good for a good fuck and that's about it.

Wasn't she the one rockin' the wedding gown & orange hair at the BET Hot Mess Awards?

I saw her on the pre-show.

I only watched a little of that video. "Silicon" did not come to mind.

I'd hit it

No, she is not alot more hype.

She got some rap skills, you just don't know anything about rap/hip hop.

It's fucking hilarious to see the words "rap skills" and "Nicki Gar-baj" in the same discussion.

I don't want to seem like an elitist.

But if you think Nicki Minaj is dope, Your opinion on Hip-hop has no value.

You are just a fucking Young Money groupie

Both songs are mediocre at best. Both artists also suck at hip hop. I could imagine both artists to star in my wet dreams. So yeah, alike.

I'm really feeling that "your love" song

You could do better with an actual porn star.

I actually think she's pretty hot. But then I like usually go for the slightly "different" looking ones. Rap skills? Eh, whatever. What does that even mean anymore? I mean, I recognize when somebody actually has them. But all it takes for a portion of the music listening/buying/downloading public to believe an artist is "good", or "important", these days is for somebody to tell them they are. Drake and Nicki are both perfect examples of this. Regardless of her "rap skills", I've liked a couple of the tracks I've heard her on. Again, at least she's something different.

Ok how is she different? It's all been done before and better.

Really? Please list the names of the artists that look or perform like her. I'd like to check them out. Regardless, I meant different in the context of being different than all the boring, redundant crap that's out there right now. So I guess you should tell me who else is out there like her right now, too.

Note: Please remember that I did mention her as being an example of what's good because somebody said she is. It ain't all that serious. I just think she's more interesting than a lot of the alternatives. Because there really isn't any.

The Black Lady Gaga

1. Lil'Kim (the person that Nicki Minaj ripped-off the most!)

2. The Spice Girls (especially Geri & Mel B)

3. The Mary Jane Girls

Now go back to YouTube and watch all of the music videos of THESE^ artists and then you can talk to us old-timers about how "great" Nicki is suppose to be.
