Nicki Minaj Talks Going Head-to-Head With Kanye West

Published: Wednesday 27th Oct 2010 by Sam

Hip-Hop fans are no doubt counting down the days to the week of November 22nd. For, two of the genre’s most revered figures are set to release their respective LP’s then – Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Pink Friday’ and Kanye West with ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’.

During a recent interview with Hot 93.7, Minaj addressed the media pitting of her against West. Check out what she had to say below…

And there, folks, you have it.

The funny thing about the whole shabang is that both Minaj and West are under the same corporate umbrella (see: Universal Music). Hence if ever there’s to be a true ‘winner’ – it’s the label.

Your thoughts?

    Some of the nicki stans must be damn crazy think she can go up against kanye. Kanye west is a f****** legend, he killed careers. You nicki fans need to wake up and come into the real world, 90% of nicki fans are a bunch of teenagers who goes around calling themselves barbies. I can’t wait for nov 23 to come for you nicki stans to get a wake up call.

    Although both albums are hip hop, they have slightly different target audiences anyway. Both albums will do really well though.

    Kanye has leaked 70% of his s*** anyway. Who’s buying the album? Good Friday tracks are already released as is the Runaway video. Save for 4-5 tracks which peeps can pop on itunes, why pay $14.99 for this cd? Nuff said. As for Nicki Minaj “most revered figure”, WTF? She’s just the atm new flavor newbie of rap. Let’s see if she’s still around after a few years when her multi-accent talking gets old.

    NICKI MINAJ YOU IS THE BEST FEMALE ARTIST THAT I KNOW I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE DIFFERENT ITS LIKE WHEN YOU STAND OUT YOU STAND ALONE.. I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!! (STAR ALSO WROTE THIS)

  11. LOL October 27, 2010

    When isaw the video for check ito ut i for sure thought her career was gonna be over while the video was quite and mainstream it lacked that connection with her hardcore hip hop fanbase

    BUT
    Now that i’ve seen the video for right through me i think her CD just might not flop

    NICKY really needs to make music centered to WOMEN not the teenswhile the t*** do help create the buzzz and buy the CD’s ( i guess ) its the WOMEN who hold you DOWN when ever the next “it” girl pops up on scene cause at his moment Nicky is making music that LITTLE MAMA tried to sell to the black community years ago( you see how her career went )
    INFACT Nicky got famous of a DVD video showcasting her rapping skills where she had remixed and ADDED SOME “HOOD FLAVOR” TO LIL MAMA’S SONG LIPGLOSS
    ITS HARDCORE LYRICS THAT CATAPULTED HER NOT POP

    NICKY LEASE DONT PUT A “LIL MAMA” AND SELL BUBBLEGUM !!!!!!!!

    BUT LIKE I SAID RIGHT THRU ME IS MORE “RNB”-ISH WHICH IS BETTER THAN “POP” THAT SONG MIGHT JUST GET HER SOME RECORD SELLS #FINGERSCROSSED

  12. Kenudigme October 27, 2010

    NiCKI WILL OUTSELL….bottom line!

  13. LOL October 27, 2010

    ^NICKY PLEASE DONT PULL A “LIL MAMA” AND SELL BUBBLEGUM !!!!!!!!

  14. Tru Voice October 27, 2010

    SHOUT OUT TO HOT 93.7!!!!! My station in CT!!!!!!

  15. asdfsdf October 27, 2010

    Nicki just needs to go less pop…Your Love, and Check It Out was too much of an overdose.

    She needs to release a song that’s more hardcore rap. What pisses me off about this process is that she has more than enough ability (Bottoms Up, MONSTER features!) to create a hardcore rap SONG….

    If Pink Friday is filled with songs like “Check It Out” I’m not buying. If she wants to meet the Lauryn Hill comparisons, she needs to go hardcore.

    Somebody should tell this B**** to sit down cuz she’s actually getting cocky for my liking!!!!!!!!!!

  17. TheMan4u October 27, 2010
