Ironic given that you defend this song by listing various unrelated albums and rappers that you blindly hate/envy.
Nas is pretty shit right now. No dishonest and labored "message" is going to redeem that. This is supposed to be music anyway, if I wanted to hear a motivational speech for women I would watch an Oprah Winfrey rerun.
Nicki Minaj is an empowered and confident woman who has taken charge of her own life and worked hard to be succesful. Shes a more positive rolemodel for young women than Nas could ever hope to be.
are you shitting me? you gots to be taking the piss.
LISTEN to the lyrics of this fucking song "Another Black Girl Lost". Content-wise, it's LIGHT YEARS above the trite, ghetto fabulous, gimmicky, redundant bullshit that Nicki Minaj, and SO many other MCs, are spitting.
Your ears aren't the only things listening to rap. This song is for all the little black girls out there that don't have many black male role models in their lives. I don't mean to disrespect you, but really CQ: can you possibly try to comprehend the importance of something like that, in this day and age? What is Azealia Banks spitting for the little girls? Where's Lauryn? Where's Foxy? Kim? Eve? Iggy Azalea (barf)? When there is nothing inspiring being said to young black girls in 2012 hip hop, where is fuckin Bahamadia, Monie Love, Lin Que, Mia X, Lady Luck, MC Lyte or fuckin Queen Latifah?
Peace to Psalm One tho., that song she just put out with R.A. the Rugged Man called "Open Relationship" IS MY SHIT
and I'm glad Rah Digga dissed Tyler the Creator last week.
but I digress.
Nicki Minaj is pretty much a Cash Money puppet doing the best she can to be the Black Lady Gaga. That insincere plastic smile and cartoony face and all that gaudy coloring and shitloads of bunk lyrics that are actually 2 steps backwards, not a step forward from the verses on "Monster" with Kanye, "Up All Night" with Drake, or "Roman's Revenge" with Eminem on her first album. There is NOTHING Nicki Minaj has done this year that is an improvement on her old self. Lower album sales, less cameos, A LOT less respect for perpetually dragging out that uber-played-out "beef" she has with Lil Kim, actually damaging her own credibility in the process since her constant subliminal jabs to Kim show how little relevance Nicki's words have when it's time to get real. She has less than nothing to say this year. She has arguably the worst verse on "Champion" with Young Jeezy, Drake and Nas. Sure, she earns lots of money. But would YOU want your daughter to have Nicki Minaj 2012 as her #1 role model?
if so, she's got a decent chance to be another black girl lost.
Nas is being a leader in an age of followers.
