What are female MC's coming too?

So today while I was on twitter @necolebitchie posted something about the fans of Beyonce getting into with Roseann Barr about the comments that she made after the passing of musical legend Etta James, now while I found these comments to be VERY funny that is not the reason for my post today. But I saw the video below and that is the reason for my post today.

What is really going on with female MC's today? I MEAN REALLY. First watch this video and then read on http://youtu.be/T6j4f8cHBIM

I mean really isn't there room for everyone to get money?

Nicki Minaj's head is definitely blown up bigger than it really should be. Now I am going to admit that I do like some of her verses like the one's on Roman's Revenge are really good. I think that she held her own against Eminem (who is 1 of my favorite MC's and from my city) but most of her rhymes are very childish and she doesn't really have much to say about anything.

Besides dissing Lil' Kim & Lil Mama and riding Lil' Wayne's dick so hard, what else does she have to contribute? Not much if you ask me. She is a gimmick artist and she is not as talented as a lot of people that I know and that I have met just from being around my city. I am a die hard Detroiter and there are MANY talented people here. Nicki Minaj doesn't hold a match to any of them.

I don't understand is why there has to be so many beefs between female MC's. I mean in the 90's which is when there really was love amongst most, there were songs that we all loved and knew the lyrics to the song of every female MC. Eve, DaBrat, Queen Latifah, Salt N Pepa, Foxy Brown, MC Lyte, Missy the list goes on and on. Now all you have is Nicki Minaj jumping on every track getting on your damn nerves with all of her vocal animation if you want to call it that. Pick a key and stay in it.

I had a conversation with my younger cousins about a year ago and they were explaining to me why Nicki was the best ever and I asked them if they had ever even listened to a Missy album or an Eve album and they told me that they were old and out dated. They said who when I asked them about MC Lyte. Sad I know. They were 16 at the time.

So my thinking is that if you have a big injected ass, big boobs, you wear different color wigs and contacts, talk like a baby and dress half naked than you can make it in this world. Because that is the message that people like Nicki Minaj are sending to all of these young girls that are listening to her thinking that she is the best thing since sliced bread but they just don't know any better.

And this video takes the damn cake of exactly everything that I have just said.....

I mean REALLY???? What parents let their 8 & 7 year old sing a song like this?

This is why I am glad that I don't have any children but makes me fear for when I do because they might actually think that this type of behavior is okay.

I said all of that to say this: the music industry should be more than just selling sex, gimmicky "artist" (I use the term artist very loosely) and making money.
Once people stop accepting bullshit than the music will get better. But until then.....


And that is just my .04 cents

Until next time......

Peace & Many Blessings.


P.S. this new song of Nicki's is probably going to be all of the rats and ratchets new anthem because they just don't know any better. #thatisall
