 Soooo, my new favorite bitch is (drum-roll please)………………..The Harajuku Barbie, Nicki Minaj!!!! She is signed to Lil’ Wayne’s label, Young Money, but by no means from the N.O. She is from Queens, NY, and bringing some much needed femininity to the game. I had been hearing a little buzz around her name, and she really got my attention on the “5 Star Chick” remix with Yo Gotti, Trina, and Gucci Mane, while her rhymes on this track are sub-par compared to her others, but she definetly has theeeeee hottest chain in the game right now which is what reeeeeaaaaaalllllly got my attention, seeing as how my alter ego is also BARBIE!!!! So I “bought” a few of her mixtapes, and FELL IN LOVE with her flow, her swag, and (some of) her style. Sometimes her diction sounds a little bit like Lil’ Kim, and she covered a few Biggie hits that Kim also did covers of, and Kim first called herself the “Black Barbie dressed in Bvlgari” and posed as a Barbie doll in her “How Many Licks Does it Take” video circa 2000, when Nicki, ( who is now aged 24 about to turn 25 in about two weeks) was surely alive and listening, but I can’t really knock her for trying cuz all things old are new again, and she has taken the Barbie alias to different heights. She calls herself the Harajuku Barbie because she appreciates and her style semi-mimicks the Harajuku culture of Japan, and there are constant references in her raps to Asian culture “faster than a sprinter, pass me my chopsticks, I eat this rap bitches for dinner”, her other aliases include Nicki Lewinsky (cuz she only fucks with Presidents), Nicki the Ninja, and of course Minaj is not her real name, she changed it from Maraj because Minaj was a play on her bisexuality, the fact that she has a nasty flow, and she eats the other rap bitches with her flow!!! IDK how I feel about her style, it needs a little work, I love and appreciate the pink girly glitzy glam look, but she needs to step her cookies up in the fashion department, it looks a little “Wet Seal” or “Forever 21”….I am NOT HATING at all, I love dat Bitch, but she should perhaps marry the style of Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Lil Kim, Hayden Pannatiere, Barbie, and the Harajuku Girls to create some sort of Haute Couture style that is unique to her. I love the chain, love the hair (with the lil pink at the bottom) love the Barbie pink nail polish, buuuuut we gon need you to cut the stripper nails a little; short nails are def the trend, and have been for the past like 3 years, that long shit is played. But on an interview at Honeymag.com, she did say that her style was evolving, and that she was going to step outside of the rap fashion box, so I would love to see her in some sexy Barbie Pink mini dresses, maybe even a gown on the red carpet, I do adore the tutu’s and happen to be the proud owner of a Haute Couture tutu (I’ll have to find you guys the website), But I would really like to see Minaj step out as a true fashion icon, and not just a caricature like Lil’ Kim. Her lyrics and metaphors are crazy, she raps over the hardest and most popular beats as if they are her own, and we cannot wait for her album, which is stated to be released in the second quarter of 2010. But in the meantime, we can get our Nicki fix with the latest compilation cd of Young Money artists, the first single is called Bed Rock featuring Nicki, Lloyd, Drake, and Gudda Gudda, and a video soon coming. Also, she is featured on the newest Robin Thicke single “Shakin it for Daddy”, and Jay-Z personally suggested to Thicke that Minaj be featured on the track!!!! In the meantime…..IT’s BARBIE BITCH!!!!
