@BLAINE KELLEY Who's asking Nicki to be a hood rat?? Was that your interpretation of her during her come up days when she was slaying as a featured artist? If retreating back to a 3rd grade wardrobe and dropping in sales by 70% is your definition of "growth" or "evolving," you too gonna look pretty f**ked when you hit 30 (if you ain't already there). And no ones telling Nicki who to be, OBVIOUSLY she don't listen to GOOD advice anyway, just look at her sales. She keep this "I'm too good to care about what my CONSUMERS want" attitude and she'll be well on her way to the #HaveASeat Hall of Fame where old lady Madonna resides.
