She always has. A lot of people thought that she didn't write her stuff back in the day but she did. (Heard that on "La Bella Mafia," which I feel was like her best album most won't agree). My thing I don't think it is really about paying homage and saying thank you but Nicki is following the same road map that Kim created. She is coming out apart of a group, she sells sex and rocks colored wigs. I am sorry, secure or insecure, if it were me, and some new person came out claiming to have the people who have come before her, serving her, but was imitating me, I would be annoyed to.Ju'liahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11906588734703352020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699895779451713607.post-29724389429122482852010-07-22T03:40:33.022-04:002010-07-22T03:40:33.022-04:00I've read a lot of things that she has said.

As far as the remark about them serving her, as much as Nicki owes Kim for "paving the way," Kim wouldn't even still be relevant if not for the fact that Nicki is. That's why you don't see rappers like Jay-Z demanding young rappers pay homage bc he's relevant on his own. Kim feels she's owed respect bc she feels threatened. That's when rappers go on the defense. The fact that she wears the wigs & purposely imitated a classic Kim pose is enough of a show of respect as far as I'm concerned. She doesn't have to mention her by name. And let's be perfectly honest, beyond the sex appeal crazy costumes & wigs, lyrically there is no comparison. Not the mention Nicki actually writes her stuff. So it's not like she necessarily needs all that to be successful like Kim did.M.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421383965744448475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699895779451713607.post-34205267766875144112010-07-21T20:27:09.118-04:002010-07-21T20:27:09.118-04:00I hear what you are saying, but point blank it is ...I hear what you are saying, but point blank it is disrespectful to say that you are going to have the women who made it before you, serving you. That is my opinion. I don't even think Kim went out of her to be like thank you Queen and everyone else but she wasn't making jabs at them either..... Did you read the rest of the interview because I don't know if it was insecurity as much as it could be she just doesn't like her. Plus she is kinda getting rich off of Kim's formula while saying she emulates Foxy, who is a rival of Kim. Just saying.Ju'liahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11906588734703352020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699895779451713607.post-91213795278130746652010-07-21T20:14:06.448-04:002010-07-21T20:14:06.448-04:00Female rappers are very territorial.

The Foxy Brown beef against Jackie O is just an example.Daniella D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18182853915262070159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699895779451713607.post-62851451251131180102010-07-21T20:11:07.468-04:002010-07-21T20:11:07.468-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Daniella D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18182853915262070159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699895779451713607.post-24178404581558004582010-07-21T19:35:50.223-04:002010-07-21T19:35:50.223-04:00I think the fact that Kim is demanding that Nicki ...I think the fact that Kim is demanding that Nicki give her credit is a clear sign of the state of her career. If every rapper had to make a reference to every rapper that came before them that influenced their style, they would have to make an entire album dedicated to just that. We all know that Lil Kim made the overly sexual female rapper popular. But Nicki isn't the first to take that concept & run with it. She's just the first to make it big doing so.And the fact that Kim brings up a quote Nicki made about female rappers & she's the only one taking offense to it also shows a lot. Kim could have been the furthest thing from her mind in making that statement. She took it upon herself to personalize it. A sign of her insecurity because she's no longer relevant & fears being overshadowed.M.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421383965744448475noreply@blogger.com
