Happy 4th of July everyone!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Nasiir!!!!!!!!!

Ha best song.

She's an icon...however, so is Jessica Simpson but she's not relevant.
The truth hurts.

Aura, come on son. SHe even spelled it out at her free NYC concert last year.

Happy birthday, Nasiir.

It doesn't matter anyway. they need to ask her for her top 5 songs from each. The truth would come out...

This statement is so sad I won't even go in...even though there are like 10 different things I could say.

Slw it's obvious you only dislike Legend X cuz you stan for Brit.
Don't even bother replying, I stand to what I say: Xtina > Rihanna.

Anyway this is the Nicki Minaj base so let's get back to that.

I love that Nicki jumped on "Livin' It Up" and basically defended CiCi.

I told Cici I was getting her
I told the bitches can’t see her no retina
I told ha if you go in there’s no letting up
See they could kick you while you’re down but you’re getting up
See ain’t a man that could block what God bless
So if a chick wanna try she a hot mess
‘Cause this one is for the girls making progress

Love that.

Xtina is irrelevant. DEAL

Hunty, you don't dictate my actions.
I actually have 3 of Xtina's songs including Woohoo.
I don't dislike Xtina. I just call it as I see it.
Xtina could have been the top person of her generation. She had 4 lanes (pop) Britney, latin pop Shakira, (punk pop turned into adult contemporary pop) Pink or urban pop (Beyonce)...speaking on the early 2000s generation not currently.

Instead, she chose to be catty, reinvent herself incorrectly instead of doing it the right way. She didn't focus on making pop culture moments and iconic music. If the GP can barely list a handful of songs out of 30 singles, something ain't right.
She just mismanaged her career to where she isn't the voice of our generation although she deserves it nor is she really relevant outside of features.
Her last two albums remain uncertified and she doesn't tour by consequence not by choice.
I don't dislike her, I just feel like calling her relevant in today's pop music landscape is a reach.

Tell the truth.

She's still a big name based on her past success alone, and just cause her last 2 albums didn't do so well doesn't mean she'll never have success again, wait for the next 1-2 albums n see how they do b4 you call her a has been. And Feel This Moment would be NOTHING w/o her.

@slw84
Does "the last rapper to debut at #1 in the US, Canada, and UK" mean she was the last rapper to have an album go #1 in all three of those countries at once (the debut week)?

Also, quite a bit of the awards section is out of date.
6 BET Awards (Best Female Hip-Hop Artist 4 years in a row)
5 BET Hip-Hop Awards
4 American Music Awards
4 Billboard Music Awards
2 Teen Choice Awards
2 Video Music Awards
1 EMA
1 People's Choice Award
1 Soul Train Award
If you need sources for these, I have them handy in case you question the validity.

Edit: Wait, I just realized you might be doing awards for each era separately. Oop, my fault if you are.

Nicki looks mad cute.

Were you totaling both her eras up?
One section represents the PF:RR era and the section at the end represents the PF era?
I can add BET hip hop and soul train...to me they are non factor s but I can do it.

I didn't realize you had it like that until after I made the post. You don't have to edit anything. My mistake.

Watching the M4L video.

I miss Martha & Roman.
