  12. DestinyBoston March 11, 2011

    yesssss u T***** U!

  13. XS March 11, 2011

    The only reason super Bass has so much success is because of Taylor swift and Selena Gomez promoting it
    and thats why shes doing this video instead of fly and did it on em
    i really don’t want to see the video for fly, its my least favorite song on the album

  19. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    @JAYBARBIEBITCH bow the f*** down the woman who BIRTHED nicki 1st of all. and yes i have gotten my mixtape and its f****** AMAZING .. its what i miss. REAL RAP. REAL TALENT. thanks to Lil Kim u have nicki minaj so when u diss lil kim it just looks pathetic to me.. cuz all what u love about nicki kim did it FIRST. anyways. tell nicki minaj to get her own swagger, tell her to take some rap lessons.. why is she making videos for KIDS. that tells u she is a not talented. and PLEASE. taylor swift and selena gomez rapping her song proves even more how wack she is. just because they sing her song. and u see her with kanye does not VALIDATE S***. shes still wack. and no disrespect. but gays and teenage girls who want to be “different for the sake of it” like nicki minaj NO HIP-HOP OR HOOD person f**** with nicki. shes for the white america.POP market. she thinks shes the s*** cuz of her obsessive fans

  20. KaVion March 11, 2011

    Yess!!
    So we can officially expect the single & video treatment for Fly, Did It On Em & Super Bass, with a possible release of Save Me?
    This video looks hot!
    I’m very happy with that!

    I’m excited for 2011:
    Nicki
    Chris
    Lupe
    J Cole
    Drake
    & the return of Beyonce 🙂
    I just need John Legend, Alicia, Em & Kells’ 2nd release!
    This should be a great year, and even better Grammys.

  21. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @BLANCO FAMILY
    If you believe that Kim’s a legend with all your heart then you should feel no need to even speak of Nicki.

    That’s like a R. Kelly stan defending Kells against Trey. (If you think Kim’s a legend)
    I don’t consider her a legend and I like Nicki more, but as a KIm stan, you should just be there for Kim and support her, not even worry about Nick.

  22. Alex March 11, 2011

    @XS she shot all three videos for super bass, fly and did it on em. she’s gonna release them all as single with did it on em being the urban single and fly and superbass being mainstream.

  24. jaybarbiebitch March 11, 2011

    @blancofamily Your fave was found on a corner where she was a cashier at a knock off store f***** biggie the first day and two weeks later was a rapper h** ass n****/b**** you sound stupid so does kim need to pay homage to madonna or tina turner i mean lets speak on it lol nicki is nothing like kim besides a damn wig and to be real kim wore colorful wigs in what one video before she went blond lets be real and speak facts nicki sings acts gives character kim came out naked throwing her titts and p**** in man face that is it lmao and if u call taking other artist songs and remixing them and them throwing shade at her amazing i can only imagine your life

  25. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    @KAVION kim is a legend.. if she wasnt nicki wudnt copy her and she was trained by BIGGIE. and he is the KING OF NEW YORK … kim is a rap legend. shes in the history books.. Missy and Kim .. made it normal for nicki minaj to do what shes doing in female rap right now.. all u stans can call kim old all u like but dont deny Kimmy taught ur fave. and Trey Songz , R’Kelly’s SON. made a diss track to r.kelly TOO. see the pattern..
    im tired of her actions.. shes doing EVERYTHING thats DONE DID. and shes pushing 30 why is she acting Willy Wonka’s long lost daughter. GROW UP nicki minaj. ur not a barbie u are a grown woman. make some good hip-hop/rap music.. and spit BARS. cuz all ur doing is DRESSING UP ,making faces and fooling the world into thinking u have talent u stole ur way to the top and that aint bad b**** behaviour

  26. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    @JAYBARBIE please… im so sorry but im not going there with another stan .. im gna cram this into a sentence.
    Lil Kim is the MALIBU BARBIE. she has been one on so many photoshoots,interviews,videos and red carpets. JUST BECAUSE u have not seen them. does not mean s***. ive seen PROOF that kim has been doing this barbie s*** for so long. and she even said this before nicki minaj came out … what is ur inspiration on ur style kim? >> ” I’m a doll baby, i wna see barbies rolling down 5th avenue in a Pink Phantom” … and what do u see nicki minaj do. drive a pink lambo in her massive attack video not to mention kim did a performance where she drove in a pink ferrari and s***. kims a barbie like it or not. Nicki IDOLISED kim. even a blind person can see that i know u hate lil kim. but dont deny she taught ur fave

  27. Alex March 11, 2011

    Yass @JAYBARBIEBITCH you betta f****** stan!

  28. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @BLANCO FAMILY
    I never said she’s not a legend. I said that I don’t consider her a legend.
    Actually, Kim made it normal for females to be sexual, that’s it. Nicki’s not even that sexual anymore. Nicki admitted that she thought she needed to be sexual becuase of KIm, this was BEFORE the beef.

    Also, the female rappers on My Mic Sounds Nice all admitted that after Kim came up, they felt like they needed to dumb down their music and try to be s***.

    I’m not saying Kim didn’t pave the way in some cases. I’m just saying that MCs like Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Eve, Roxanne etc. did much better jobs. They weren’t hyper sexual and had depth to their music.

    Kim may be a better rapper overall, but there is no denying NIcki’s music has much more depth to it.

  29. Junior in Jamaica March 11, 2011

    lol @ the last comment aiming at “Kim” LOL!!

  30. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    Nicki’s music is gna land her in hell. she didnt come from a rich background, she’s had struggle. so why wud she spit venom at broke people or people who dont have much… most of nickis stans arent even rich. and wat nickis rapping about is actually dissing ur personally. when u listen to her horrible music. LISTEN to her lyrics carefully.. dont just rock to the beat. Did It On EM is gna f*** up her karma watch… why wud she rap about that.. when she was raised with a silverspoon. #DEAD

  31. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    @KAVION pleaseeeeeee tell me how Nicki’s music has more depth. please tell me *waits.

  32. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    @KAVION so who inspired nicki minaj who is a FEMALE RAPPER. where did nicki minaj “all of a sudden” get the idea to become a barbie… please tell me. who in female rap before nicki minaj did all that. if sum1 asked me ” who were the main barbies of hip hop. i would say Missy Elliot and Kim” clearly u disagree so who inspired nicki minaj cuz she damn sure didnt come up with that originally

  33. jaybarbiebitch March 11, 2011

    Kim is a better d*** sucker thats how she got to where she is Junior Mafia ran through her face til she had t buy a new one then the new roster of bad boy what did she do buy a new one lmao i cant Kim spoke on being a barbie and portrayed one in a video but Nicki gave us the character theatrics the look the total package chile go enjoy your blank cd with black friday wrote on it in a sharpie and get the hell on Kim is no longer a legen she is a debacle whenever her name is mentioned people laugh just like New York from flavor of love Kim is a has been who needs to give it up then you say why does Nicki cater to the kids its the kids who are buying albums check the number kids buy albums request vids the older crowd go to shows and concerts boo this debate is over like Biggies life no shade she needs to be happy that she can afford to got to Michaels and get some plastic flowers to take to Biggie grave when she does get a ride im sure Diddy may have given her a bus pass or two

  34. jaybarbiebitch March 11, 2011

    @blanco You a fat dusty b**** in the mirror with lil kim pic posted on your mirror with a black marker in your hand drawing all what you want fixed on your face and body i can just see it lmao a gag is what you are making NICKI post so hot lmao go enjoy your cd while you ask your face in the mirror who the f*** want war

  35. jaybarbiebitch March 11, 2011

    Missy as a barbie what kind a cabbage pack and i love Missy stop trying to use Missy name to try and get her stans involved because your argument is pointless and meaningless

  36. jaybarbiebitch March 11, 2011

    Now @blanco you are my son night night go to bed

  37. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @BLANCO FAMILY
    How Nicki’s music has more depth:
    If we took the AVERAGE subjects of Nicki’s music vs Kim’s, you’d have this.
    Nicki raps about love, overcoming struggles, her life, and who she is as a person. Kim raps about s**, her success, and money.

    I’m not talking about her influences on NIcki’s clothing. That’s the problem, people care too much about the extras. I could care less about how Nicki looks. (For the record, NIcki’s clothes & wigs are better than Kims). I’m talking about MUSIC, which is all that matters. NIcki’s music is NOTHING like Kim’s in any way. If I said female rappers whose music is like Nicki’s I’d say Eve & Missy. With some influence by Lauryn.

    Put the Barbie b******* aside and let’s worry about their MUSIC!

  38. Star March 11, 2011

    This is why I can’t support minaj. all these “b******” are your sons? REALLY?!!

    Your Kim’s offspring hon! I’m not even a Kim stan but this 30 year old who idolizes a Barbie is DELUSIONAL and over hyped -_-

    #imout

  39. avicutez March 11, 2011

    I’m so f****** confused. Why the f*** is she releasing this when she shot Fly? IDGI.

    I’m a fan of hers, but her stupid style pisses me off sometimes. That pink animal print s*** isn’t fly.

    This video looks wack. More Massive Attack and Check It Out instead of Moment 4 Life and Right Thru Me.

    WACK. Nicki, I love you girl. Cut the s***.

  40. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @AVICUTEZ
    Fly,Did It On Em & Super Bass are all being released.
    Lol, I love Nicki to, and I agree. I love the videos like M4L & RTM because they show her as a serious artist. The colorful cartoonish stuff is fun to watch to though. She can’t help her personality

  41. avicutez March 11, 2011

    @KAVION.

    Oh I see. Overkill but good for her. Hopefully they’ll be good.

    I agree with you. She can show off her personality without doing the same good damn RRRRR face all the time and putting on ugly s***. She’s a beautiful Island girl.

    Still love her.

  42. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @AVICUTEZ
    Lol, yeah the faces are getting a little old.
    What I really wanna see is her stop wearing the wigs.
    I like a lot of them, but she has good, long ass hair and she looked way better showing it off.

  43. Diane March 11, 2011

    Nicki is that b****. Every time Kim accuses her of copying, she goes out of her way to use something else that Kim has used. It’s like she’s saying so effing what. I’ll do what the eff I want to do bish! On this video she’s sporting her two-sided, tone, colored wig that Kim accused her of copying. And on Ellen and her recent NBA All-Star appearances, she wore the Barbie necklace right after Kim accused her of copying that.

    Nicki is sweet and lethal just like Roman’s Revenge. The only person right now that can come out and receive commercial success is Missy and Timberland, who have always been pop-rap-dance.

  44. LTM March 11, 2011

    gross

  45. avicutez March 11, 2011

    @KAVION

    Not only wigs period but that one wig in different colours. UGH. THROW IT OUT, NICKI.

    Her hair in The Warning, and even 5 Star Chick >> stupid ass mofo wigs.

  46. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @LTM
    It really isn’t that hard to avoid Nicki. Lol

    @AVICUTEZ
    Lol. I think that she looks good in the pink and blonde wigs & she looked good in blue surprisingly. Other than that, they’re all….yeah.

    Did you know that’s her real hair in the Letting Go video?

  47. avicutez March 11, 2011

    @KAVION.

    Yeah, I meant The Warning and Letting Go. Curly real hair represent. My hair’s like that too but we sometimes give into eurocentric hair.

  48. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @AVICUTEZ
    Lol. I think she looks a lot better with her hair curly. At least if she’s gonna wear wigs, she could wear a curly one.

  49. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    she sold well but the majority of the comments said shes all hype and no talent. her album was garbage < that is nicki's reviews BASICALLY only her stans loved it.
    Lil Kim's harcore IS ILL regarded as a hip-hop classic. kim must be doin sumthin right. so stop downplying kim as a rapper kim talkes about hood actiivties real gritty s***. that u little dolls cannot handle. KIMMY . TAUGHT. UR. FAVE. deal with it.

    Ummmm NEXT! Nicki is falling off to me, tired of seeing her doing the crazy faces, but if it works for the kids, than I guess its okay.

  53. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    In Nicki Minaj’s song “Muny” she has a message to all her old school fans that loved mixtape Nicki :

    Told y’all on Drake’s s***, told y’all to fixate
    B****** want my old s***, buy my old mixtape
    I ain’t f*****’ with you bum b****** no more
    Always in the club lookin’ like a bozo

  54. Tana March 11, 2011

    @Blanco Family

    You say: “Lil Kim’s harcore IS ILL regarded as a hip-hop classic. kim must be doin sumthin right. so stop downplying kim as a rapper kim talkes about hood actiivties real gritty s***. that u little dolls cannot handle. KIMMY . TAUGHT. UR. FAVE. deal with it.”

    First of all, who the hell is talking about Hardcore. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t that over 10 years ago? I’m pretty sure this post is about a Nicki Minaj video. Let me just remind you that it is currently 2011, and not 1997.

    Secondly, how are you going to say that Kim talks about “gritty hood activities” that dolls cannot handle, and then say that Kim taught Nicki? So you basically agree that they don’t rap about the same things, their music doesn’t sound the same, but for some reason Kim taught Nicki? Taught Nicki what, how to wear a wig?

    You Lil’ Kim stans are getting mad about wigs. To Lil Kim: is a beef over wigs really worth your dignity? Everyone is laughing at her. Nobody in the music industry respects her, whih is why she doesn’t have a deal.

    Before Nicki got a deal, she hustled and wrote songs and sold mixtapes just like every other underground artist. Finally, she got a deal, put out an album, and now it’s her time to shine. All these old ass bum b****** had their time in the limelight. Now it’s Nicki’s time. Eventually it will be someone else’s time. Kim needs to sit her ass down and realize that she just isn’t hot anymore. Have you heard her new mixtape? It’s an abomination.

  55. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    @TANA Nicki Minaj is in the IMAGE of kim. fair enough, POST-YOUNG MONEY nicki minaj raps about basic , watered down s***, kim was more hardcore CORRECT but nicki is still freaky if u pay attention to her lyrics.. u know Lil Kim is her idol so dont deny that to me i dnt care if im hung up on her wigs n s***. so what. kim started that nicki as a fan, is inspired by kim and is doing it FACT. but what i dont like is when u nicki stan play deaf n blind. nicki disses HER OWN FANS. more than she does lil kim. before u play pink friday and bob ur head listen to her lyrics and to wat she ACTUALLY saying cuz i know that all u stans seem to think ” Nicki has haters because shes getting money,Nicki wins they lose” << y'all know im right on the money. she deffo brainwashed you guys.. but besides that. shes falling off. what is she relli doing for female rap. thers no boundaries to break. doors are already wide open. shes playing dress up and shes nearly 30. atleast kim had an ERA of it. and she kinda threw in the barbie in her future albums but she wasnt so OBVIOUS about it. she didnt need to keep saying BARBIE B****. so ppl knew. kimmy taught nicki. so when u diss kim ur dissing nicki. ther both barbies. both had surgery both rock wigs n call themselves barbie and both have WILD fashion senses.. dont deny it..

  56. Blanco Family March 11, 2011

    Kim would never take jabs at her fans just to solidify a verse she even shows love to hood dudes saying thing like “Just cause you ain’t a millionaire don’t mean you can’t compete
    You ain’t gotta be filthy rich, but you can’t be cheap
    I like a man that can stand on his own two feet
    Got a strong business mind, straight out the streets” Nicki on the other hand makes it seem like money is everything and if you dont have it your a “BUM”

  57. KaVion March 11, 2011

    @BLANCO FAMILY
    1. That was a play on JAY Z’S line. Jay: “N***** want my old s***. Buy my old album”. She was just relating that line to her issue. People keep talking s*** about her saying she’s changed. Apart of rap is being witty. She’s saying if you want my old music that bad, you have my mixtapes, I’m doing something different now, you need to accept that.

  58. Tana March 11, 2011

    It’s funny that you’re mad that Nicki calls people bums. I completely agree with her. Broke b****** so crusty, disgust me. As do b****** who can’t spell correctly. I’m not down with all that hood s***, which is why I like Nicki. She has broader appeal.

  59. Javon March 11, 2011

    Lol You haters are whatkeep her coming stronger and stronger. PLEASE keep it coming.
    I still dont understand why you people are still accusing her of coppin Kim style, F*** THAT BUMMIN ASS B****! Nicki do it better anyway. Lol and its funny how Nicki is the reason why Kim’s making money as of now. You kimmy clowns NEED TO bow down to the real QUEEN B. And i’ve said it before, i’ll say it again, It’s sad that Kim let some other chick come in and take her spot. PATHETIC. If i was her, i wouldve been in the studio making hits from the start. The b**** washed up and need to sit down somewhere and let Nicki do what she do best.

SOME PEOPLE SAY IT SOLD 1,1 MILLION FOR THE YEAR but if it did then why did nielsen sound-scan say it sold 2.8 million in jan 2010,1,1 milliom+1,466,000=2,566,000 million.make no damn sense,liessss,if beyonce sold 1.1 million in the usa in 09 why was she in the top ten on the usa……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

    Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” reigns for a sixth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 137,000 (down 73%) according to Nielsen SoundScan, bringing her cumulative sales total up to 3,104,000. However, while that is a huge sales sum — especially considering it was totaled in just six weeks time — it’s not enough to overtake Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” as 2009’s top selling album. The latter is at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling another 60,000 — bringing its 2009 total to 3,217,000.

    Of course, Boyle can rest easy in knowing that her “Dream” is but one of just two albums to sell at least 3 million copies in the U.S. last year — something that hasn’t happened since 2006, when three albums did it. Boyle’s “Dream” is also 2009’s top selling album released last year (Swift’s “Fearless” dropped in late 2008), and was also the top selling physical album of 2009. Of its overall 2009 total, physical CDs accounted for 3,019,000 copies, whereas digital downloads made up a rather tiny 86,000.

    Michael Jackson’s “Number Ones” is 2009’s third biggest-selling album, with 2.36 million according to SoundScan, while Lady Gaga’s “The Fame” is fourth with 2.24 million. Andrea Bocelli’s recent release “My Christmas” powered through 2.21 million in just nine weeks, making it the year’s fifth best.

    It amazes me how ppl go back and forth about who’s the greatest….

    OK, KIM has done so many things…She’s opened, doors, she’s paved ways…F*****’ BOB THE BUILDER…ok, somebody give her an award…She’s already got a Grammy.

    Remy Ma said it best…it’s HIP HOP…Let em beef…and keep it on wax if they’re going to beef.

    I wish you females would see it for what it really is…Black women fighting….calling each other B******…and then the “Stans” going at each other over a perpetual battle that won’t end until one of you has to go to school and the other has to go to your 9 to 5.

    KIM is the originiator…NOT….there’s NOTHING new under the sun. Yeah, Kim did it before NICKI…but SO WHAT?!

    NICKI is doing her thing…love it or hate it…YOU can’t do it…
    NICKI is breaking records that Kim never touched….she already surpassed La Bella Mafia…that’s just numbers…FACTS.

    OPINION: Besides “Black Friday” which was the only good song on that sicktape…KIM SUCKED. That album was full of ill-used autotune that didn’t line up vocally…It was cheap.

    That “Lambo…transforms into MEGATRON” line was weak.
    She did features without clearance from other artists to use their s***, and THEN sold it.
    #notwinning

    I respect her past work…she is still a beast…that ETHER snippet made my d*** hard…because that was OLD KIM…the KIM that didn’t nead IRS to rock on her own.

    She sitting with a bunch of “YES” folks…all that big MIKE extra echo s*** on her mixtape…she needs to start spitting.

    NICKI is not ten years in the game…neither is Justin Bieber and they’re STILL going to do big things…

    NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN you “Nostalgic…I remember when-lookin ass cyber bullies”

    Kim didn’t birth colorful wigs…
    WOMEN been spreading their legs for pictures…NICKI MINAJ is getting money…she can pose however she wants to pose…Kim wants a check?! SO do the producers to the beats she stole (ahem) borrowed…come with some hot Ether S*** KIM…

    NICKI said, “All these B****** is my sons”, because she’s bringing ’em BACK into relevance…Wa’nt nobody checking for Kim til she started doing interviews, teaming up with KEYS raggedy behind and getting off her thrown to wrestle with a “carbon copy” who’s “obsolete” but you still rapping about her in your mixtape…

    #sittheFUCKdown

  65. minajsecurity March 11, 2011

    Why you kim fans mad at Nicki, Kim is f****** her self up. She came ready for war and shes losing the battle. Shes gonna end up having a nervous reakdown worrying about dumb s***. If you made nicki, make yourself then cuz if u made her who she is and shes winning in 2011 why arent YOU? Some of yal acting like it’s a problem or sumthin to look up to somebody and be inspired by them? Everybody got an influence.

    And for you clueless c**** on here, If you knew Nicki’s history she was way more street than Kim ever been before she blew up. Kim Couldn’t f*** with “old Nicki” on that level. Like she said she could go back but life is about growth and evolving, I think Kim better just settle with this playful Nicki cuz her weak wrinkled ass dont want it with the “old” nicki.

    Holla at me @minajsecurity

  66. DUMMIES March 11, 2011

    @PublisherTROOF

    Non of what you said made any type of sense on any Scale……

    ….With that being said you can’t compare a New Artist to an Icon…..

    No on said Kim “Invented Color Wigs”….”Barbie”….”S** Appeal”…BUTTTTTTTT!!!!!

    That is what she is known for…All of the Female Rappers that came after Lil Kim had their own thing…Eve Short Blonde Hair…Missy Finger Waves….Remmy Ma The Blonde/Brown Bang….They ALL stayed away from the Colorful Wig s*** because that was Lil Kim’s Trademark…..

    Nicki is garbage to me I don’t give a f*** if the B**** sells 44 Million in a day…Look at Rihanna she sells and we all know tha B**** is a Clown.

    But anyway….Nicki is a JOKE I don’t care what Lil Kim is NOW…You cannot deny the B**** HAS HAD HER TIME!!!!!!!!!

    Just like Missy said “Just becuase you been in the game for 18 years don’t mean you washed up…It means your an ICON”………

  67. are YOU serious? March 11, 2011

    ALL YOU B****** IS MY SONS!!!

    YES NICKI !!!!

    IS STILL SLAYING YOUR FAV RAPPER!

    HATERS!!!!!! MAD!!!

    LIL KEN DOLL IS A JOKE AND HER FANS ARE TOO!

  68. GangsterA March 11, 2011

    flop

  70. Diane March 11, 2011

    What is this whole thing about “being in the game” for a certain amount of time? I know secretaries who have been in their game for 30 or more years. Does that mean they are an icon of the cubicle.

    Damn, if it’s your profession to be an entertainer, you are supposed to be in the game until you retire. That’s what most workers do.

    Besides, if you are not active in the game and are simply attending star studded events, you cannot count those inactive years. Will you say Sharon Stone has been in the game since Basic Instinct even though she’s been idle for a while? No, a lot of actors consider her to be gone.

  71. Yellow Gorillah March 11, 2011

    Why she making avideo for this =/

    Her 15 minutes is running out fast she needs to get her s*** together and get her money while it last!

    No Shade I love Nicki but I don’t see her being here in 10 years!

    GET EM NIKKI !!!!

  73. Ms.Chocolate March 11, 2011

    @Blanco Family is related to me, the brother or sister I’ve never met. And you cant tell me otherwise..LMAO! I agree with everything you said…

  74. Cheah March 11, 2011

    @PublisherTROOF get them numbers right dawg. Hardcore is 2xplatinum. Notorious Kim 3Million worldwide. I’m not a stan for either but the thing about you stans…You never know what you’re talking about with the numbers. Anyway this is a nikki post kim shouldn’t even be mentioned honestly but Nikki has not did those numbers yet so um yeah

  75. LEELEE March 11, 2011

    @ BLANCO WHY YOU MAD?!?

    IF YOU WAS SMART CLOWN YOU WOULD DO LIKE HER AND GET YOU SOME MONEY TO INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR TIME OBSESSING ABOUT THIS CHICK

    YOU DONT GIVE A F$%K BUT YET YOU WRITING PARAGRAPH ESSAYS ON THIS CHILD ON BLOGSITES WHILE SHE MAKES HER NEXT MILLION!

    #SUX2BEYOU!

    SLAY THESE F****** H*** NICKI!!!!!

    PINK FRIDAY IS DOPE AS F***!!! KOP THAT!

  78. Chile Please!! March 11, 2011

    @Blanco Family

    Yes Yes Yes!!! Read B****! I’m so feeling what you said %100 it’s about time someone spoke the truth about this gimmick. I don’t even need to comment because you took the words right up outta my mouth. ***Spins than falls into a fierce dip***

  79. lola March 12, 2011

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE “Superbass!” This track is definitely one of the best singles on Pink Friday! It has such a nice, happy, hip-hop/poppy, upbeat, romantic, inspiring, feel to it and her singing voice sounds wonderful. Nicki is doing the damn thing right now! I can’t stand “Did it On Em.” That is one of the very few, weak singles on the album, but it is playing non stop on urban radio and that‘s good. She’s really a smart business woman. I don’t care for “Fly” with Rihanna, so I’m glad she switched it up when “Superbass” was getting praise from famous singers.

  80. Shane March 12, 2011

    Okay now this is outta control! First this is a Nicki post so let me just say that i LOVE nicki i think she deserves all the success been rocking with her since the mixtapes back 07.
    anywho Lil Kim smh i used to love kim
    MY OPINION she is washed up & all her music is WEAK
    even before the nicki beef that song download with t-pain sucked!
    So please PLEASE tell me how she is a legend?
    Dont worry I’ll wait! lol
    Legends dont sell their music strictly on paypal.
    Could you imagine someone who is a legend i,e missy whitney, michael (random ppl)
    selling their music only through paypal
    &then lie aboue their sells. haha
    ALl she has ever done is talked about sucking & fu*king.
    Missy is the legend and the queen.
    Nicki is in her own lane and kim seems to be holding on desperately to nicki’s coats tail

  81. B.Smith March 31, 2011

    Love it…

    #sityouassdown.
