Last year, Rap royal Nicki Minaj welcomed the news that she had scored 4 nominations at the 54th Annual Grammys.
Later confirmed to be one of the night’s performing acts, her fans and detractors alike await to see just how she will fare on the night, now less than a fortnight away.
Now peep the star dishing on those nominations, how she felt about being at last year’s show and her thoughts on what it means to be a true musician.
As she said, the nominations are a blessing in themselves.
However, if Nicki did win any of the awards she nominated for, she would be one of the only Femcees in Grammy history to win for her own work and not as a contributing act, a feat few lady lyricists can say they’ve scored.
This, would not take anything from the award Lil Kim shares with Mya, Pink and Aguilera for ‘Marmalade’ ,but would prove that Nicki is the act Foxy Brown, Trina and Kim almost became, but fell short of.
For fear of being labelled a sell out.
Either way,here’s to the continued revival of female Rap and the hope that the new generation of girls will be far braver than the women they were inspired by.
I love an artist that Doesn’t stick to 1 thing There’s sooo many thing to explore and grow in! If you think it fake well that’s your thing Cus you just pressed That’s the truth
Stanning Aside, Nicki’s Winning At Least 3 Grammys This Year. These Award Shows Are About Polotics & She Has The World Eating Out of Her Hands Right Now.
Why do you never include, Missy, Eve or Lauryn in your lists? Stop acting like Nicki started this, she just revamped it.

SAMantha Is Acting Like This Gimmick Started This Trend In Female Rap ! Anywho Grammys Don’t Mean S-H-I-T 😉 Didn’t Vanilla Ice Or Whatever That Fool Name Is Win Grammys And Where Is His Ass Now? ! + He Was A Gimmick !
what bothers me the most about SAMantha stanning the way she does is she stans for BEYONCE and in the same breath stans for NICKI..
i cannot….deal.
NICKI..i do not see it. i respect her hustle. but she is not an artist to me. all i see is a copy of people before her. crazy wigs. silicone b***. ABC lyrics..
* in my simon voice* im sorry, im gonna have to say NO.
You hairy c**** act like Queen Nicki or even sam gives a f*** about your rants lol! Queen Nicki does not care if you don’t see her “artistry”! The Grammy, American Music Awards, Billboards, and MTV Awards does so motherfuck you haters with a spiked d****!
Is this the Nicki Minaj fan club?Sam get your head out of her @ss.
Nicki aint winning no grammy,so stop acting likes he already did.
EVE won her first grammy in 2001 as a featured act on ” You Got Me ” by The Roots , The following year , she was nominated for Best Album ( Scorpion ) & Best Rap Collaboration for ” Let Me Blow Your Mind ” featuring Gwen Stefani , she won the latter . making her a 2 times Grammy Awards winning rapper .
LMFAO! Sam you wish that Nicki was the artist Kim, Foxy etc almost because, AKA a sell out swagger jacker… What it proves which we all know is that the Grammys have gone down hill and these days they throw a lot of awards at people that don’t deserve them just because they’re flavour of the moment.
Is it just me or does her nose look different. It changed her face completely…..stay away from the plastic surgery idiots, accept yourself the way your mom, dad and god made you.
KASEY so if her nose looks different to you it automatically surgery,man you people feel that when you say something it automaticallly becomes facts…anyways keep doing your thing nicki i am rooting for you.
NICKI’S RAPPING IS OK BUT SHE WILL NEVER HAVE LIL KIM’S HARDCORE SKILLS . THE GRAMMYS ARE FULL OF CRAP NICKI MINAJ IS NOT A REAL SINGER OR OPINION. KERI HILSON IS NOT NOMINATED FOR ANY GRAMMYS IN 2011 OR 2012 WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL. PRETTY GIRL ROCK WENT PLATINUM AND NO NOMINATIONS JUST CRAZY !!! NOW RIHANNA I CAN SEE HER AND ADELE WINNING BUT NOT BEYONCE WITH ALL FLOP SINGLES AND WOW RIHANNA HAS 11 NUMBER ONES THATS JUST AMAZING HOW SHE PASSED BEYONCE UP ON THE NUMBER ONES.
NICKI IS ABOUT TO SLAY IT…
I am honestly the biggest nicki fan, i love her too much, but i hate that botox on her. ugh. its so obvious. but either way, i hope she wins best new artist and best hip hop album, dont care too much about the moment 4 life one and i SURE as HELL do not want rihanna to win album of the year.
Look, as a Nicki fan, I will not diminish someone elses work. Salt n’ Pepa was the FIRST female rap crew to ever win a Grammy. EVE won in 2002 for Let Me Blow Ya Mind and that song featured Gwen Stefani hitting the hook. You don’t have to shade others to bolster Nicki’s accomplishments. If Nicki wins she will be one of many females rappers that have won a grammy. Lest us not forget Lauryn Hill?? She one 5 or 6 in one night and the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a rap/r&b album!!!
Wow.just.wow Sam….
luv me some Nicki, but I’ll be damned about those teeth!!!
Sorry Sam & DAHOTMESS along with the rest of the CULT FOLLOWING….NO GRAMMY 4 Roman. Never count you CHICKENS before they FIREEEEEEEEEED (Nicki Minaj till the world end voice!)
Lil’ Kim and the rest of those girls all RECEIVED GRAMMYS for there GOOD BODY OF WORK as Team WHO ALL Brought their own flava 2 the piece. Maybe Ms. Minaj can benefit from that!
