I love old school rappers who put these wack young’ns back in their lane. Most of you might be too young to remember Nikki D, the first female rapper signed to Def Jam. But in an interview with XXL magazine, she’s speaking out on a disturbing new trend of females with artificially enhanced body parts being labeled MCs.
Nicki Minaj is a lame Lil Wayne wannabe who sounds like a fool. The idiots who co-sign this tramp have no concept of what real hip hop is or they would stop looking at her fake azz long enough to actually hear her wack delivery.
No wonder hip hop is dead.
XXLMag.com: So what do you think about some of the new female MCs that are out now?
Nikki D: There aren’t any out! Who’s out? You mean, Nicki Minaj? That’s not a rapper. That’s a girl with her ass on the screen. Nice hairdo and she’s saying some things but she’s not a rapper. She’s not an MC. She’s an artist. She’s an entertainer. There’s a difference. She can go out there and open her mouth and say whatever but people ain’t listening to her. They looking at her. And rapping is about the skill. It ain’t about your fat ass. It ain’t about your set of titties. It ain’t about that long-ass weave.

And who is Nikki D??????
People need to stop hating on Nicki Minaj..
Team Nicki!!!
“if you could you would get rid of me, what you gon do when a bytch try to go hard? but i won’t let you get to me…”
This chick got a long ass weave too.
Lil Kim really started this genre of titty rappers
Nikki D is keeping in 100 on Nikki Minaj - if that barbie ish Minaj does is supposed to be unique and give her an edge - Imma have to say fail. She needs to kill the gimmicks and hone her craft if she really wants to do this for real.
I was watching the ” wanna be down” video with brandy, Mc Lyte , Latifah and yoyo yesterday - That video really speaks on what Nikki D is trying to say coz those chics delivered like real Mc’s
I have no idea what direction Nikki Minaj is headed.
I remember Nikki D. She sung the song Daddy’s little girl (what daddy don’t know won’t hurt you).
That is a stank ass picture of Nikki M. & I mean stank like her she look like she don’t wash her coochie. Fake ass Lil Kim. I mean really. Some things shouldn’t be re done and that pose is one of them.
I dont classify Nicki as a rapper just an entertainer neverthelest I do like her mixtape “Beam Me up Scotty” but however I saw on utube her freestyle battle and I must say she is NOT a freestyle rapper at ALL! it seems like her rhymes were rehearshed, If she is gonna try to fill the void of the female rappers she need to come Harder she has this gimmick and this gimmick will only last her for a minute or 2!
SHE MADE A VERY VALID POINT-TRUTH BE TOLD NOT MANY REAL MALE RAPPERS IN THE GAME NOW EITHER
EVERY OLD HEAD IS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT NEW ARTIST
NOBODY’S BETTER THAN THIS ONE OR THAT ONE…ETC
I AINT DIGGIN ALL THE HYPE ABOUT LIL WAYNE EITHER
BUT MY SON WHOSE 23 SWEARS HE’S THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE-IT’S ALL A MATTER OF INTERPRETATION
SIDE NOTE:
I REMEMBER NIKKI D AND THAT NOSE-LOL
BUT SHE’S DEAD WRONG FOR THAT WEAVE JOB
@pinky & @iscream
@mizzdallas
My God-kids told me that her mixtapes were tight ALSO but now they don’t feel her at all AND Gimmick was the word they used to describe her as well
I’ve SEEN that pic before and had NO IDEAL who it was…
Lil Kim HAD the Persona-n-Style to pull that pic off - IMO
I saw BEFORE MUSIC DIES and erykah badu told it like it is…it was very funny and real…she basically said all you need is fake boobs, hip implant,,calve implants so your legs look good in stilettos etc…it was very funny
SKANKY DOESN’T EQUAL SEXY
i think the problem is THE MEN TURN THE female rappers into mini me’s…for example…biggie-kim..luda-shauna… and the chick loses her identity….NIKKI sounds just LIKE WAYNE…
@Daisy
CAUSE I KNOW how you feel about Ole-Gurl !!!
I remember Nikki D. ! I wonder if Nicky Minaj momma has seen that picture? Didn’t Lil Kim do that,already - minus the bulge, that is?
I’m just asking
Minaj raps like she should have been in that video with 702, Magoo, Timbaland, Missy… When they were all plastic dolls with robotic moves?!?! Beep me 911 call on my cell phone and I call you back to see what you gone tell me.
@intensemocha
SKANKY DOESN’T EQUAL SEXY
__________________________
Depends on who you asking
people ain’t listening to her. They looking at her. And rapping is about the skill. It ain’t about your fat ass. It ain’t about your set of titties. It ain’t about that long-ass weave.
@elove
I
E badu!
@fly (comment #16) Oh So TRUE !!!
And the Luda-Shauna isn’t the same as Biggie-Kim because Shauna CARRIED Luda-n-DTP from the beginning WRITING their Hooks and Raps… And I’m not saying this just because she’s from the Chi either — She’s a BAD CHIC for real
Minaj is a hot-mess but I say just give it a while and she will be old news. They rarely ever last long its just a matter of time. I’m sitting here trying to think of some one hit wonders..it’ll come to me in a min….i know you guys can name some.
@ELove
wow never knew she was writing their stuff…too bad no one wants to buy her music..
@shannon04
sole
AND ADD ANY FEMALE RAPPER MISSY BOUGHT OUT YO!
WHY HAVEN’T I BEEN HERE ALL ALONG?! I feel at home. People are so quick to defend Nicki Minaj. I’ve been saying for soooo long that she’s a Kim knockoff. She stole Kim’s whole image all the way down to calling herself a Barbie. How long has Kim been a “black Barbie”? Nicki Minaj needs to find Nicki Minaj then stuff her back in the box she came out of and ship her back to the toy store she bought her from. Nicki Minaj is so not what’s up & if that’s hip hop, I’m glad I’m an R&B head.
@flyqtnva…good one..I forgot all about her.
whatever happend to Ms. Jade?
That pic on the right is horrible (I had to delete what I first wrote about it).
I think Nikki D is speaking the truth. The only thing is what she is saying goes for the whole music industry not just female rappers. You find the real musicians, sangers and rappers underground, you have to find them on the internet. Sex, bull crap and fake bling sells records not talent.
I’m not saying that everyone in the industry fits this mold but it’s more than half.
I like Nikki Minaj. She may be different in the way she raps but she holds her own against the best of them. Besides what other female rapper is out and hot right now??
She knows sex sells but it didn’t start with her nor will it end with her.
Don’t you actually need a hit to be a one hit wonder?
I’ve never heard this girl on the radio.
One hit wonder… humm let me see. Olivia? Who later joined G-Unit she had a song called Bizonce.
I am showing my age but I remember Nikki D. She is also a music executivee at Def Jam. I agree with what she says. Nicki Minaj is an entertainer. I like the way she raps. I don’t consider her a lyricist though.
@ iscream..that’s right you do need a hit. I guess I meant those that had like 1 or 2 singles come out and that was it. She wasn’t selling and 50 dropped her, then threw her under the bus on air with Angie martinez and tried to say that he think missy started getting at her. Sad how he did her.
There is enough room in the industry for everyone… lyrical rappers, entertainment rappers, ringtone rappers, etc.
I am glad that female rappers are even being acknowledged in the rap game…she can be fake and phoney but her freestyle skills are nice!!!
I loved Remy Ma but that is another story!!!
One more thing she murdered Trina on the 5 Star Chick Remix…so until I see otherwise…Nicki and Shawnna are my top pics for female rappers
!!!

————————————————————–
Nicki recites lines she was given, sometimes I don’t even think she understands half of the multi-syllabic words coming out of her mouth. And just because she’s the only female psuedo rap artist that’s being promoted right now, doesn’t mean she’s the best or even good. I mean if you run a race and you’re the only one running… *shrugs*
She’s looks like she’s selling her escort services not just a sexy image. Sexual does not equals sexy.
@shannon04… YOU just mentioned another one - ANGIE M !!!
Cracking up at the Missy comment @Fly… Put Tweet on that list too AND I guess Nicole also (MAN this list could get VERY LONG Indeed)
@elove
missy used to put a hot female rapper on a hook then you never hear sh!t else…what happened to the chick from Mocha….from Nicole Wray song I got what you want…
Most artist think once they’re signed, that they don’t have to continue to work hard like they did to get signed….you actually have to work harder……
I’m just, tryin to stay above water y’know
Just stay busy, stay workin
Puff told me like, the key to this joint
The key to staying, on top of things
is treat everything like it’s your first project, knahmsayin?
Like it’s your first day like back when you was an intern
Like, that’s how you try to treat things like, just stay hungry
Biggie
But didn’t Missy put Lil Mo on? She is an UNDERATED SINGER!!!! That bitsh can sang.
I liked Necole Wray.. I still listen to that song.
& Since Puffy put Missy (hee hee hee hee how) on. Its no wonder she gets down like that. She learned from the master.
WHO’S THE MASTER? SHONUFF! Yeahhh
And speaking of Angie Martinez.
@Sandra you haven’t done an old school video in a while. Can we get Lil Kim’s Ladies Night… feat. Da brat, left eye, Angie M, Missy was Latifah on that. I remember seeing her in that video.
& or like someone else mentioned Brandy remix with La, Lyte & Yo Yo.
When you think of music like that. These bitshes rapping today aint shyt.
vita.. from murder inc.. that’s who she sounds like and tries to be kim/charli baltimore all in one itty bitty outfit.
I agree with who ever said she sounds like wayne… delivery is soooooo wayne.
I almost forgot about Nikki D and Eve.
I blame the A&R at these wack azz record company. They thought that we wanted whore rappers once Lil Kim and Foxy Brown burst on the scene. The whore rapper cookie cutter approach helped further sink Hip-Hop into the grave that it is in.
These fake azz New school MCs make more money than the old school artists but it is at the expense of true talent.
But for T.I., Lope Fiasco and Kanye, every New School artist can basically sit there azzes down.
I’ve been saying this sh!t every since she hit the scene, Nicki Minaj, use to do model type videos showing her ass, but since people criticized her she is trying somewhat clean up her image, but that Lil Kim pose with the lollipop was her M.O.
The days of Lauryn Hill, MC Lytes are over!! those were females I would get the cds but why would a dude listen to a track of a chick talking about how she swallows, etc that ain’t gangsta!
But the same goes for these 123 male rappers out right now
These fake azz New school MCs make more money than the old school artists but it is at the expense of true talent.
I so agree with Auntie and some other fam. I know there is a lane for everyone but growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s I cannot take Nikki Minaj at all. That animaniacs mess she does drives me crazy.
I love Lauryn Hill. She is truly talented. She can sing and rap.
I call these new school artists “hookes” - they are only good for catchy dry azz hooks.
I meant I call them “hookers”.
SEXY DOESN’T EQUATE SKANKY
HENCE THE REASON FOR TWO DISTINCT WORDS
WHEN YOU SAY ONE AND THE OTHER TWO DIFFERENT PICTURES SHOULD COME TO MIND
WHAT THOSE PICTURES ARE VARY-BUT THERE IS A DISTINCTION TRUST ME
I agree with Nikki D. Whatever happened to the female rappers like:
Bahamadia
Heather B
MC Lyte
Lauryn Hill
Eve (in the beginning)
Rah Digga
Missy
Salt N Pepa
Angie Martinez
All female rappers that didn’t overtly sell just plain sex.
I know there’s more, but, that’s all I that’s coming to mind right now.
Team nicki!
I have all three of her mixtapes and bump them constantly #dontjudgeme
AND SHE rode that ‘first female signed to def jam’ in the ground. she went nowhere, lets keep it real SR. Sure, nikki minaj is wack as hell. I’d pay to see her in a porn before i pay to see her on the stage.
Isc That BISH Lil Month can BLOW you aint neva lied! So under rated I have 2 of her cds
I don’t get the hype over NM either… but to each his/her own….I DID LOVE JJ FAD THO! LOL (seriously, tho)
I’ve stated my feelings on Whacki Minaj a few times…..Hot Garbage!
& I’m not up on my smily-face game, but CO-SIGN on L BOOGIE…..I wish she (w)could come back! But based on that last concert here in Oakland….I’m not sure how possible that is. SO GONE. The clown-faced-bag-lady ish WASN’T & WON’T EVA BE IT!
Nikki D has a point. I watched that Gucci Mane video the other night just to see and really listen for how awesome Minaj “is”. I came away with a great amount of annoyance. Like WTF. And Trina…WTF?!?! They weren’t talking about ANYTHING! (worthwhile) Like most of ‘popular’ music today…just a whole lotta nothing being said.
For ME Regarding N-Minag skillz… SEE @point’s comment
smh, no one cant do anything, everyone drags anyone down thats trying in this industry. nikki d? comeon credibility gone. she wasnt even hot in her day
However i respect the classics, someone youtube “Freedom” the rap version form the panther movie, THAT IS THE ISH!!!!!
