@RDK 1) Please edit your writing next time.That was just sad to read. 2) I would believe that Nicki was just inspired to be her "true self" if there was some kind of method to the madness. It literally just looks like she is trying to stay relevant by being crazier than everyone else. At least Grace and Gaga wear crazy shit but have a reason for doing it and can give the the history and inspiration for the outfits. Nicki seemed just fine wearing colorful eye make-up and her regular get up until others were jumping on the crazy train as well and were outshining her. Then that's when the chick went HAM in a Hello Kitty factory and strolled through the Crayola factory when she was done. It all feels forced to me. 3) I did give constructive criticism. She should stop trying to be crazier than everyone and work on honing her craft. I'm not saying she should rhyme the way she did before (which really wasn't mush different than now) but she should go back to the mentality she had. She seemed more comfortable and more focused on what she was saying rather than what everyone else was wearing or doing. She should tap back in to that and put out some quality shit. She already has the public eye and Wayne backing her so if she really has true talent, it will speak for itself. She can continue with the crazy shit if she wants but put the craft first and let it back you up. Don't just have gimmicks and that's it. Have some dope ass unforgettable type shit to back you up. And don't even bring Missy into this. I like Missy and she was never trying to compete with anyone. When she did some out of the box shit you could tell that is was because she wanted to and was trying to push boundaries. It all felt organic with her. It wasn't like she was calm for a while and when other people started changing, she hopped on board. Missy has and always will do her own damn thing. She don't give a fuck about showing her ass like the chicks around her was doing or getting her rhymes written for her. She was in the studios with the producers doing her own damn thing.
