Well, no, you're right, he probably wouldn't have said it about Eminem or Jay-Z, because they are big, respectable names in the industry. Sadly, since Nicki went pop, she hasn't and doesn't command that level of respect right now. But the point is still there. Steve's issue is with a rapper on the panel, not a black woman on the panel.

A rapper on the panel judging rock music
when he was a rocker on the panel judging country, pop, r&b etc.
I know you are trying to avoid this but you can't avoid the hypocrisy.
The show hasn't even aired yet...I mean.

I'm a stan who doesn't defend every thing she does either. BUT I know her well enough that no matter what we or anybody else says she's still going to be Nicki Minaj. And since we all putting stuff out on the table, I have a question for you? Do you think that Nicki in just someone is the business that copies everyone?

EVERYONE SHUTUP & now lets PRAISE MALAYSIAN NICKI MINAJ

So what exactly are you trying to say here?

There is absolutely nothing racist about "cornfield". Nothing. End of.

Gyal how many times have I said that I DON'T agree with what Steven said about Nicki. ALL I'm saying is that what he said is NOT racist, and that I'm over the race card.

Lord.

Nicki isn't the only new judge on idol. So why target her? Everyone always being FOCUSED on what Nicki is doing, rather than what they SHOULD be doing. I bet if a white woman was judging it won't be a problem.The amount of ****in negativity/hate she ****kn gets. For NO ABSOLUTE REASON. Makes me sick. If people in this industry would just worry about themselves maybe they could be winning just like NICKI. Nicki Gets Disrespected Left & Right . She dont get half the credit she deserves. Nicki receives more hate from artists and entertainers then some of these critics.

Jealousy is so real.

Do you see it as inappropriate for a rocker that judged pop, country, r&b etc. to come for a rapper judging a rocker???

I like how we always have this big discussion where the whole base starts to argue with each other. Then Onika does something that brings us all together. Only the power of the Queen!!!

Yes.


ETA: If Nicki never did pop, never did PFRR, never dressed like Gaga, stopped half assing her rap songs, stopped having a bad attitude, people would respect her. Is it fair? No. But thats just the way it is.

Exactly.

Is there HQ?

So did Nicki not chase radio trends and put songs like PTA, Whip It, and Starships on PFRR because she saw how well tracks like that did for other artist??? Does she not dress outlandish because she saw how well it worked for gaga??? Did she not channel Kimberly Jones in the beginning of career to garner attention for herself???

Nicki doesn't have much originality. Don't let the endorsements and "makin more money than any other rapper" cloud your vision of that.

dont mean to throw no shade, but alot of other artists have WAY worse attitudes than nicki but still get more respect than her (azealia banks, kanye west) , just don't get it

no idea, found it on twitter

Finally a good post that makes sense. Just stop making threads. PLEASE!

Azealia Banks is too small and irrelevant to have anything. She has no respect, hate, or any other emotion outside of her own incredibly small fanbase.

Kanye West? Do y'all even remember how much backlash he got after the Taylor Swift incident?

Anyway, Nicki will get her respect back if she goes in the right direction.

I think you need to go back to see because i know that many people have made comments but I don't recall saying that he was racist, though. I did commend Nicki for how she handled it minus the f.u.
So what exactly are you trying to say here?

Easy...instead of making it CLEAR as i stated before he knew what he was doing making it ambiguous. He could have easily made it clear but he made it wide open so that it could mean many things (for instance, you took it as cornfields in minnesota, some took it as racist). He did that for a reason...perhaps even more than a reason;)

You are now speculating that Steven would say the same thing about Em, Jay z or kreayshawn and you don't know that, luv.

What you don't seem to understand and what I have to tell you a third/fourth time is that Steven should have never sent the tweet to begin. Forget about the wording. He judged country, r&b and pop artists when he is a rock artist.
Unless, he's was a gospel artist judging sunday's best or one of those country shows that are a rip off of ai he is in NO position to question that when he did the same thing.
There is absolutely nothing racist about "cornfield". Nothing. End of.
Who are you trying to persuade, though. My point is that he should never had made the post because he was a rocker judging other genres as Nicki is and that he made a post purposely left up for interpretation when if he really meant it in a good way he would clearly state that. You seem to be dodging the fact that my main point has to do with the hypocrisy. I think you have me confused with some others that have taking it to another level with the race card thing. Mine was coming from hypocrisy and the idea that he never should have sent that tweet because of hypocrisy and by sending it the way he sent it was done intentionally to leave it unclear.

Gyal how many times have I said that I DON'T agree with what Steven said about Nicki. ALL I'm saying is that what he said is NOT racist, and that I'm over the race card.

Lord.

Ok fair enough.
