people education must be the most limited since gaga came on board. if anyone has no talent it is gaga. 1st madonna and Amy whinehouse came before gaga who replicated them. before madonna, nicki, gaga, katy perry, the woman that brought all this forward was GRACE JONES. even Nicki recog that and is why she mentions GRACE JONES in her music being tactful not to offend gaga commentors. Nicki said was rapping and being diff b4 gaga came on a scene when gaga was a writer for others. Nicki was doing backup vocals even b4 that. Every rapper and dance is influenced by those before them and will imbody those things plus their own. Nicki embodies artist such as Lauryn Hill, Missy, Da Brat, Grace Jones, Madonna, Amy Whinehouse and so many more. Gaga is no different. The marketing is diff, white artist have no problem with the investments that go into them. Black artist have to grind and market themselves. Nicki worked hard, wrote her own music, and had door upon door close to her in part due to blacks negative attitude and low self esteem that now give all credit to white people for their own creativity. Fools Jamie Fox tries to show you every song from elvis to others where written by blacks and whites stole it and made it their own even gospel music. Blacks had to pay radios to play their music and still didn't have rights. Nicki worked for hers and did it herself b4 anyone would back her. Bieber, Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Spears, Amy Winehouse, Cristina Ag, did not have to struggle for any kind of marketing or investment which is why they are drugged out bc things are to easy for them. They don't have to worry about videos, Michael Jackson let the world no that blacks were paying for their own videos and getting caught in jacked up 360 deals. You don't see any of those above mentioned whites trapped in a 360 deals and worried about money before they album even drop. Blcks have never and will never be paid as much as whites and will always have to work 10times harder for success. Give Nicki her damn props for staying focused, away from drugs in a drug environment, coming from poverty to conquer her dreams and give you ignorant self loathing BLACK PEOPLE white demon jockers the BLUE PRINT!
