It’s crazy how times changed in a few years. Now a rapper can do pop and no cares. She had to stand up for pretty much all female rappers who do pop too. She’s like a pioneer for the hip hop/pop crossover. So much respect
THIS IS NOT TRUE!! Lil Kim went pop, Missy went Pop, EVE went Pop, Iggy went pop, Khia went pop, Foxy went pop, Left Eye went pop, MIA went pop, Estelle went pop, Ms Dynamite went pop,
Lol, are you joking?? Missy opened that door, and Kim has SEVERAL pop hits, with actual pop legends. Nicki opened the door for streaming, her sound has been poppish since she came out, even her look. There will never be just one Queen of Rap/Hip Hop, any real hip hop fan knows that. And Nicki is barely top 5 solely due to her work ethic and effect on how streaming effected artists revenue. She assumed a lot of Wayne credibility in the beginning but she held her own despite that. She didn't fight for the spot, but she did fight to stay so I'll give her that.
Its funny how she got so much heat from industry people for producing pop songs when now most female rappers are doing exactly just that. Nicki really paved the way for the new girls.
"I never found you funny, I never found you entertaining, I never found you smart, I just found you annoying. .... To me, You don't have a enough of a résumé to make those type of comments" lmaooooo Nicki said she was over it, but she had to shit on his head for the one time💀💀😩😩😂😂😂
I agree I could only stomach 10 mins of this interview because to watch Rosenberg sit there and Kiss this heffa's ass was ridiculous. By the way all the while insulting him. She's a garbage artist and not an MC!!!! Anybody who knows Hip Hop will tell you that! !!!!
I kind of teared up when Nicki spoke up about the diva situation. I can relate. If you don't speak up for yourself just once, no one will ever treat you the same after that.
She clearly said "I don't care if you don't like Starships." Her whole thing was it was unnecessary and inappropriate for him (who she didn't know) to disrespect her and her craft during the day she was supposed to hit the stage. That's like somebody you don't know talking trash about you. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion on all music, but there's a time and place (and manner) for expressing that opinion.
EVERY SINGLE RAPPER EVER HAS EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT SOUNDS. Only difference is that Nicki is a woman & she cemented her place in mainstream media. It is not Nicki's fault that she just so happen to make one of the most successful singles of all time. Having pop success doesn't take away someones rap credibility. If you don't think that Nicki is a dope lyricist you either don't listen or you are delusional. We shouldn't have to limit ourselves.
Death Rager judging from your name, you’re probably a white emo kid who listens to punk rock and metal bands and think you know about music. If you only listen to Super Bass, Starships, and Anaconda, then you have no right to speak on her rapping abilities. Nicki has three classic mixtapes that are arguably the best rap mixtapes from a female rapper I’ve heard. She has 3 rap albums and one pop/rap album. LISTEN to the fucking albums AND mixtapes before talking out of your ass.
I love raw interviews like this. No bullshit. Everyone maintains their own opinions and passions and preferences, but is able to have a really solid, progressive conversation.
Desmond Brown hmm....funny....cuz he sure had BALLS at the summer jam when Nicki had not arrived yet.....he was kissin butt cuz he knew Nicki would've put him in his place...dont get it twisted, Nicki got the fame but she aint changed.
The best thing about her is she ACTUALLY writes. Like her lyrics even sound like a female wrote them… that’s why us women relate to her so well. And let’s not forget Nicki went to performing arts school. She is a PERFORMER and ACTOR not simply just a rapper. Why they didn’t come at Wayne when he made that rock album?
Because lil Wayne's rock album is an atrocity by rock and guitar standards. So it's not worth the hate or criticism, it's just good for a joke. Nikki encroached on the pop world, and did it better than most. Old heads and industry cogs gonna hate on that.
I really don't understand why people are acting like the only thing Rosenberg did was to state his opinion, he was the one on his radio shows saying how he murdered Nicki's career and acting all tough, even insulting her in some of his radio shows, There's proof of this in this RU-vid channel. He was asking for it, now he is kissing some ass because of the backlash he got. And Nicki is rightfully mad at him, not saying that I agree with everything she said or did, but her sentiment is valid.
"I minored in women's studies in college!! Please validate me!!!!!!" This guy is way out of line. Referring to hip hop culture as "we?" No, hip hop isn't yours. Go home. I feel so bad for Nicki. I will never understand how she handles herself so well. She's just amazing. Anyone dissing her honestly needs to wake up.
A Jewish person talking about the black culture and being critical of it. If it was the other way around the black person would be labeled anti-semitic. Malcolm X spoke about this dichotomy when talking about how Jews can talk about Blacks and not the other way around.
I dont believe that because if it had been the other way around, she wouldnt have been labeled anti-semitic because she wouldnt have brought Jewish into it in the first place. And i dont see him being critical of black culture. Certainly not in this case.
This is such bullshit. Rap does not equal black culture and you're kidding yourself if you think certain things belong to certain races. Jews have a rep for being bankers, so according to your logic, blacks have no place criticizing bankers. That's how ridiculous you sound.
Anybody can be critical of anything they want to be, doesn't matter where they are from, and don't tell me how things would be if shit was reversed, cause it isn't and you have no idea. This is your logic, 'idiot': Swedes created zippers, therefore no one except Swedes can complain about zippers Whites created guns, so all black gang members should give up their guns now Blacks created rock and roll, so no white guy will ever be good at it. that's right, Eric Clapton was terrible.
Starships still has 2 verses on tho...if she had a singer singing the choruses then nobody would have a problem.. The problem is that Nicki has more talents than just rapping...and y'all mad and jealous
"I never found you funny, I never found you entertaining, I never found you smart. I just found you annoying" I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST WITNESSED A MAN GET MURDERED BY NICKI MINAJ😭💀
I can't understand why people hate when rappers step outside the box. It takes different types of beats and sounds to make a hot album. I don't want to put in a album and hear the same beat record after record
@@indraneelmore1130 I wrote down that comment I didn't speak it so telling to shup up is not accurate lol besides you must have a bizarre "sense of humor" to think that just because you see it as a joke everyone will see it as a joke grow up
If Nicki never did her pop mode like EVER these new girlies wouldn’t be able to. They literally follow her craft to the T! They be like “oh do some mixtapes, then a few records and on those records I gotta do a pop song to hit the charts”… she is the epitome of going against the “norm” and I adore it 🦄🦄🍾
came back here after peter made a tweet praising doja cat for her “rap abilities” despite being people brushing her off as a commercial pop star. everything nicki said in this interview aged perfectly & his tweet only proves that she had to bite so many bullets for the new girls to thrive.
As much as I respect Rosenberg I feel like Nicky really doesn't need to explain what she wants to do as an artist... Hip hop/pop/genre aside she really doesn't need to explain anything. She's one of the biggest female artist in the world next to Bé... why should she have to explain herself...
+John Miles Yea meither would I. I guarantee Charlamagne wouldn't have apologized. He would've been like I'm sorry I didn't say it sucked to your face lol.
So disgusting the way she was gaslit for experimenting as an artist meanwhile Drake was doing pop songs and Wayne did a whole rock album and no one ever batted an eyelash. It’s like black women can never be more than what society tells them they can be 🙄
I agree...its phenominal to be able to put your stamp on the music business as a rapper and be able to crossover at will and be able to stretch your legs in other genres and do well at it.
After watching this. This woman really went through a lot yo. An these same ppl sit and hyped up artist today that’s straight trash. How u gonna dis the woman right before she performs. And nobody picked up for her. When she stands up for herself there’s always a problem. I’m glad she never got rid of her strong personality. She’s too talented to sit an let these ppl play her for jokes.
Let’s be honest missy has no lyrical content. She was never lyrical. She was creative and poppin af but she never had bars. Y’all need to stop acting like creativity equals bars bc it’s doesn’t. Missy is not a lyricist...
Why does a fuckin hip hop radio host gotta apologize for having an opinion, it's not like she cares about rap like she used to anyways, she probably just paid the station for a 20 minuet praise session
That's spot on man! She (and anyone who had potential like she did) should be criticized for completely selling-out. Like if Kendrick all the sudden made a shit pop song/album, everyone would feel that they have the right to criticize him... but with an entitled diva, it makes her get pissed and deny it. She is the opposite of a "real" or self-aware person.
AlexanderDeeMusic Trying new styles of music is not selling out and its sad that you honestly feel that way, just because she wanted to be diverse in pop doesn't mean she doesn't care about her rapping I don't even understand how you seem to think she doesn't care but it is what it is
i’m glad she stood her ground. i love her🤩 starships literally went worldwide everybody knows it whether they like it or not it’s known😂 mfs always hating on anything they can
Terrance Truce Thats all that should matter is her lyrical talent. It is real rap its just not YOUR thing. Slaughterhouse is real rap but its not MY THING. Dont tear it down cuz its not what you prefer.
Mother fuckers please. Your logic is flawed. Whilst the originators will always have a special place in our hearts and Nicki is undeniably a stupid cunt, she is the best. Her technical proficiency is on another level. She can do it all. Jean Grey is my favorite Femme C but Nicki is the best. Deal with it.
Nicki is amazing, I don't understand how some people say they hate her, she's genuinely kind and straight up. She raps what sells, and if you think that's stupid think again. I mean she has some very meaningful songs and they didn't get as much recognition, so I think it's very smart of her to sing what sells.
His job was on the line. Nicki brings money to Hot 97 you diss her you change public opinion and her music stops being bought the stations loose money. Jew or not they back Nicki cause she is there cash cow. The only color that matters in business is green.
Word Justice. I don't care for Rosenberg, but I'd say he's a staple in hip-hop. I get that she's a cash cow, but they all have to bow down when she's in the building and let her insult them? She insulted Rosenberg on his craft, because he said something about Starships. That seems mad petty.
But her potential is two good. Thats why those two guys spoke their mind. She good but she's sold out a bit two! She could make awesome "real" hip-hop", but she decides two sell to the masses and trip off her own ego.
I'm not the biggest fan of Nicki Minaj's music (I do love some of her songs though), but she looks so annoyed by the guy asking her questions. He seems so full of himself. I feel like he's THAT guy at a party that wont let anyone leave until they've heard every bad joke and story in his arsenal. Her music might not be everyone's tastes but she is a damned good person.
Well artists come and go🙄. She was no better than anyone else. If you come to a radio show, you SHOULD know peoples resume out of respect! He not someone off the street, he's an established professional too which is difficult to achieve as well.
i love you nicki! THANK YOU for NEVER giving up and THANK YOU for not letting ANYONE tell you what you can and should be doing. art does not have limits.
A lot of ppl say Rosenberg was asskissing. he really easy tho. he's trolling her, along with Ebro Ebro: those 19,17, and 15 year old little girls won't forgive you 😂😂😂
What people don't understand is when you are as big as Nicki and you have so many fans it doesn't matter what song she puts out. Nicki Minaj is the life line for female Mc's and people view Nicki as an Iconic Female artist. She could've made a song with no beat and it would've sold, so I think at this point of her career she can do whatever she wants and not pay the consequences for it. Now if this song was made at her early stage of her career it might have been a problem!
"When there's ten guys on a lineup, and little ol' me, girl with vagina..." "wait! wait! not a girl with a vagina???" "I just said girl with a vagina, what?" "As opposite to girl without vagina" "Right." She's not dumb, she's brilliant!
Honestly, listening to this interview it doesn't sound like Rosenburg gets it at all... It sounds like he gets the education of it and the study of it but OUTSIDE of the classroom I don't think he gets the lifestyle of it. I would bet he praises M & M and Iggy Izalea (just based on numbers and education). If you haven't lived it, or experienced the realness of it yourself. YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT!
There is no explanation to life... You want to know the difference. Sit down with him, the one who chose the rap/hip hop lifestyle, then sit down with someone who was born into the rap/hip hop lifestyle... THERE IS A BIG FUCKIN DIFFERENCE! Someone who was educated on the lifestyle, and someone who was born into and forced to life the lifestyle will be totally different! No book or education can tell someone how to do them! Nicki actually should have went all the way in on him! What your not going to do is tell me what my style should stick to or should be!
Rosenberg was definitely kissing ass. Like, you fucked up, you were feeling yourself and it didn't take long for her to knock you back down to size. Just get over it. He's making these long ass speeches and taking up time trying to get her and her fans to forgive him and it just looks like pathetic groveling.. and no I'm not a Nicki stan. Just someone who saw this whole thing go down and I think Rosenberg came out looking really pathetic. Yeah Starships isn't hip hop but who cares, Nicki said she wasn't even going to perform that at Summer Jam.
The funniest part about this is how much nicki HATES Starships now. A clip came out recently of a dj playing it and she cut it off and told the crowd she doesnt like that song. She also said in an interview that she wishes she never recorded it. LMAO. Rosenberg did not need to apologize… that song was full on tragic.
