So I often see this all time on various websites (Yousucktube, Tweet Tweet Twittering Twits, and our very own RG or "Rap Ignoramuses")
"Nicki sucks ass at rhyming (well sucks at rapping in general)", "She is so ABC, just like rest of YM", "How she rhymes over beats is elementary"
It is time, to disprove and show the exact contrary. My goal here is to one verse/song by one, show her rhyming is actually one of a kind. More times often than not, she gets into all sorts webbed, interweaving, combined levels of technicality and syllabic precision. No matter what she chooses to rap about, do not discount her adept ability, to switch rhyming styles, at will
O. Only, is the 15th, which is not "only" utterly random, but it is mostly full of singular and one syllable words. What makes this rhyme scheme distinctive, is that she usually doesn't have ones as simple as this, however the arrangement of the rhymes, is still complex. To compensate for that, this 16 bar verse has an absurd amount of multis, filled with layered sets of internals and consonances. Her words in this song (most notably, the end rhymes), do pack quite a wallop, that are succinct and to the point
Yo, I never ****ed Wayne, I never ****ed Drake
On my life, man, ****'s sake
If I did I'd Minaj wid' him and let 'em eat my ass like a cupcake
My man full, he just ate, I don't duck nobody but tape
Yea, that was a setup for a punchline on duct tape
Worried 'bout if my butt fake
