Hey crystal. The answer to your question is that back when "the jump off" came out I wasn't feeling. Her style of rapping simply didn't appeal to me. Nicki minaj can rap no matter what any of y'all say. She's a truly great rapper. As for Kim I still don't dig her style of rapping on that black Friday mixtape. It was terrible. But when I listen to kims older music now in 2012 I actually like her style back then, even though I dont care for her much at all.
