i'm not sure if you have already discussed this but i came across this in youtube while i was watching a couple of lilkim videos. i am on #teamlilkim. basically it is about how nicki minaj has ripped lil kim off and other artists but remains defiant in acknowledging her influences, in terms of music as well style. lil kim fans have made a series of youtube videos demonstating this fact that nicki minaj basically is too up herself too much without siting her influences and this is damaging to the music industry.

i knew that lil kim was unique and didn't particularly notice the similarities to nicki minaj because i can't stomach minaj at all, eventho i do think that minaj is creative, it doesn't mean i like her. lil kim in terms of style was way before her time, before gwen stefanni, lady gaga, and minaj, i am speaking hair and outfits. i never realised it at the time because she was so different. but i think she has a case for intellectual property here. also minaj has taken swipes at lilkim who is not old and grumpy as young money have you believe, she stated in an interview that the fued was deeper than that, that minaj is not all that. sorry to reign on minajs parade, but fact is she is not doing females a favor by acting the way she does.

it upsets me that madonna used her in her superbowl appearance, when she could have used lilkim. but i guess minaj is young and that is all she has going for her right now. be sure to look up PLAYTIME IS OVER on youtube.
