VIBE Asks: Is Nicki Minaj the Notorious K.I.N.G.?
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Uncategorized[19] Comments
Nicki Minaj has landed her second solo VIBE cover. My good friend an co-worker Clover Hope spoke to Nicki on a number of topics.
For VIBE’s February/March issue, Roman goes insane with our Senior Editor Clover Hope (@Clovito) about where her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded fits into the pop and hip-hop landscapes, her plans on taking over the fashion world, the evolution of her Young Money label mate Drake and the new crop of rap chicks.

Okay I’m starting to suspect that Nicki Minaj’s publicist runs this site with all the postings being geared towards her. I understand that she’s the most visible female artist (no longer calling her a rapper), but this is ridiculous. Let some other artists shine. This overkill is nuts.

Makes no sense, no one knew all this was dropping in such a rush. So stuff like this happens at times, but we like to be timely and prompt for our readers.

Approaching overkill in record time…..
Um was this done as an indirect to the Notorious K.I.M? I would hope not but I can see folk reaching in that direction.

Um…how exactly is this overkill? She’s an important figure in the entertainment industry so it would be dumb for the Missinfo.tv staff NOT to post content about her; they wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t! If anything, I applaud Nicki’s team; they clearly mapped out a marketing plan and executed it to perfection; I tip my hat to them.

Its overkill because we dont need 3 or 4 post about Nicki Minaj in a matter of 2 or 3 days…BTW there’s a difference between an important figure in the industry and what’s “hot at the moment” in the industry.

^ But that’s where you’re wrong, Nicki isn’t what’s “hot at the moment”! She’s been putting in work since the release of her first mixtape which dropped back in 2007 so to insist that she’s “hot at the moment” is an understatement.

When an upcoming artist releases their first mixtape, 9 times out of 10 they aren’t “important” in the industry yet. Especially a female hip hop artist. Idk what industry you’re referring to, but just because she released a hip hop mixtape in 07 doesn’t mean she has any importance in the industry as a whole. I know artist that have been putting in work since 04. Does that mean they are important in an industry? You are obviously a fan of Nicki Minaj, which is cool, but would deem your comments as being biased.

She’s a K.I.N.G. because she makes drag-hop that appeals to skinny jeans wearers who go ga-ga over her zany, brainless “music”
