Nicki moves real funny. I don’t know who is advising her but she’s always doing shyt that doesn’t make sense long term. Everything is about “now”
Nicki doesn’t take advice. She knows what she wants and she gets a team that’ll do it.
It seems like Nicki has the mentality that if what she’s doing is not a big deal then it’s not worth her energy. Nicki is not never doing anything just to service her fans. I think a lot of entertainers that reach a certain level of fame feel the way Nicki does about their work has to be an event but they’re more calculated.

also I think Nicki has a warped sense of self since during her entire prime their was no other mainstream female rapper. She got all the deals, attention, features and everything

sold more than Nas

Think 69's 2nd album outselling Nas 12th album by 5k is worth mentioning, brehs.

Or she does what she feels like because a whole industry is against her .


Y’all love to say someone had no competition .

Female rappers came and went it’s not her fault they didn’t put in the work like her to stay on top .


They’ve been trying to make another Nicki for 13 years .


She competed with pop girls to stay while slaying the charts .


She has always done what she felt like never following what people thought she should do .

What I said wasn’t really a slight to Nicki. I just mentioned how she’s not diplomatic about her approach

Jay z is the exact same way tbh

That nicki diss is surprising....

All in all. Im glad. The culture bent, but didn't break.

Now whoever is funding him can now realize they're not gonna get a return on their investment and stop paying retired cops to be his security.

There's a difference between being beloved/admired and just a spectacle. I read a piece in the Times, somewhat disgustedly, and he's just a repugnant person. Totally product of his generation.
This, that’s the problem with this era, social media has made stars out of real talent and spectacles a like, and that’s dangerous....



69 whole strategy is/was to continue fame and fortune through being a spectacle....and this type of culture opens the doors up to any clown resulting in us having to endure these weirdos for years.....
the youth will have to stop praising clout and start praising talent

Didn't French Montana go gold because he put that old Swae Lee record on his album?

I dont understand how these fugazi streaming numbers are counted ...
Certifications and sales are not the same.

Certifications are based on the cumulative sales/streaming of the songs on your album whenever in time they happen. That is if you drop a single today and release your album in a year, the streaming between now and the release of your album will be counted towards your certifications. Sales/Soundscan on the other hand counts your sales/steaming from the day your album is released. Obviously Riaa has to change this.

So Montana has songs that had been steaming for 3 years some of which not even his songs put on his album for the certification, but only moved like 20k. Nicki did the same shyt. Put 69s song as a bonus on her album after the albums release, just for clout on Instagram.

How do you feel about Nicki supporting pedophiles like Pedodashi and her brother ?

It's not that complicated. 1500 streams is a sale. $10 or whatever purchase from itunes is a sale. The sales in terms of buildboard weekly hot 200 album sales chart art the same as going gold or platinum. Going gold or platinum is the RIAA a completely different entity from billboard.

So there is nothing stopping 69 from coming back a couple weeks from now with a platinum plaque....even tho his shyt really flopped?
