What's beef?

Nov 26, 2010 19:05

For the first time in a loooooooong time I am excited about a beef. And I would never have expected to be excited about this beef, but I am "oooh oooh, when the next diss track gonna come out!?!?!" excited! Maybe it's because it's the first time in a while a beef (at least so far) appears to be staying where it belongs: "on wax." Maybe my venom for ( Read more... )

"also, nikki minaj--thus far--seems grounded enough to at least say that her barbie getup is an act"

I disagree. Nothing I get from Nicki seems like it's even approaching grounded nor self-aware. I don't think she thinks she's a Barbie, per se. But nothing in how she presents herself seems like she's full self-aware either. But maybe I'm missing something.

"lil kim seems to have invested lots of money (and dignity) trying to actually BE a barbie."

I honestly don't think Kim and Nicki are too different when it comes to that. But one thing I do say is a have some level of sympathy for her. 'Cause it's abundantly clear that all of her surgery and persona change are due to hardcore self-esteem issues (largely stemming from Big choosing Faith over her). Not that that excuses what her image means and the impact it has on the industry, young girls and women as a whole. Still I kinda get it.

You know, I think I'm only person I know that is not impressed with Monster. I honestly don't get why people seem to like it so much,

Ok I read the comments. And I do agree (to some extent) about the Madonna/Gaga Kim/Nicki comparison. I definitely think there's an under current of "there can only be one" going on that is problematic (to say the least). But I also think there's other things in play here (and I meant to add this to the entry may edit it later ( ... )

I thought she started off strong and then fell off a little at the end. Nicki is garbage and I'll say it all day. People just like her delivery but if you wrote her lyrics down on paper and just read it you'd be like, this makes no damn sense.

Which leads me to believe she won't respond and if she does respond it'll be garbage or ghost written.
