This is really sickening. It's ppl like Irv who are the cause of hip-hop being on life support right now...How dare u compare a lyrical heavyweight like Lauryn to a wack @zz, tone def, no singin', bitin' @zz bird like Nicki. R u kidding? Between him...and Puff trying to compare Rick Ross to Biggie, I just have nothing else to say...

Nicki's flow is garbage which is why she should be named "Nicki Garbaj"; I have yet to hear any "quotable" lyrical content penned by her and not Drake or Wayne. The only thing she's done for these young and dumb stans who follow her is to teach them the names of Santa's reindeer. I'm not even going to go into her singing and acting. Just take another look at that wack single "Massive Attack" and the "Your Love" vid. I wouldn't compare that acting to Lauryn Hill's Sister Act 2 or soap opera debuts. And the singing...I would rather listen to nails scratched across a chalkboard before I listen to that autotuned up ho with her fake, disproportionate @zz repeat "You got spunk" like a broken record.

There are plenty of real female MCs out there today who just don't get their shine 'cause you have lucky ppl like the Nicki's who have a good marketing and promotional team behind them and...well, yeah...sex sells. Personally, I'm gonna keep riding for my underground female rappers...like Keys, Luck, Babs, Ms. Hustle, Lanz, Oriana Tinique, Reese Steel, Jean Grae, Remy, Rah Digga, Amina, Hedonis, Miss Nana, Byata, and Nina B. True female rappers. They're out there, but they don't have the push that Nicki does, unfortunately. U just gotta open ur eyes and Google. 'Nuff said.
