She isn't living up to her potential. She's an above average rapper and for a female has elite rapper potential.


She could drop a classic but she seems to busy being sexy and stacking pop music paper.


Hey ... whatever pays the bills right. :manny:
I agree! It's kinda sad because she has potential. I feel that she could drop an album or 2 that's really as classic as JayZ's Blueprint. I think with her being a female and by rappers being so puppeted by their labels and bosses (ie. for Nicki it would be Baby, Slim and Wayne), they have to do what their labels and management say because their labels are who are spending the money on them. To be successful most rappers/singers have to have label support and backing. This means u have to do what ur label tells u to do which includes attire, lyric topics, how u present urself and all that.

But I really think Minaj is one of the best rappers of today's era especially for female rap. Hell she better than a lot of these male rappers like Chief Keef, Young Thug, Tyga, Waka, etc.

Yeah it's because she's a female that people don't want to hear her but any true student of rap can tell you that she can spit. And also it probably is Baby etc. holding her back - they are too worried about $$ to think about her status as a rapper.
