I feel she's destroying herself and making it far too easy for Lil Kim. In terms of "alter egos," another personality is supposed to serve a purpose or add to the popularity of the artist. Slim Shady increased Eminem's status in the hip hop community. Sasha Fierce brings Beyoncé to a higher status. Kathy Beth Terry and Jo Calderone were both used to promote music videos. There's always a purpose or some type of logic to alter egos. Roman increased Nicki Minaj's status in the hip hop community, and that's all she needs. The rest... is becoming tragic and disingenuous. What purpose does it have to come dressed to VMA Awards in that wardrobe? Arguably to build a fanbase? She had a large fanbase before her "transformation," is she willing to lose that fanbase for entirely new one? We'll see.

I honestly think it was just to have fun. To think for any other way, it'd be looking into her choice too in-depth, really.

No. She's becoming more and more of a self-parody every day. Which is a bummer, because Monster showed she had promise.
All she does now is:
1) Overdo the **** out of hashtag rap. Seriously, when it's not even something YOU created and you do it every other ****ing line, it gets tiring.
2) Make dumb voices that lost their charm ages ago
3) Rap about either complete nonsense or Lil' Kim on every ****ing verse

Seriously, like, what the **** is Where Them Girlz At? She's not even trying to make sense, she's just saying a bunch of random words completely unrelated to each other and people just eat it up. A mess.
Her career has convinced me either Kanye, Jay or both helped her on Monster, because I have yet to hear a verse HALF as good as that one from her lips. ![shake no](images/smilies/images/smilies/shakeno.gif)

the question is, who is Nicki Minaj? she just recently got mistaken at fashion week for Lady Gaga, it's almost an identity crisis.

Lil kim looks so much better ![shutup](images/smilies/shutup.gif)

I didn't respect her as an artist first because I did feel like she stole "Lil Kim" image and run with it, but after a couple of years, I really starting to like her because she really a great rapper and I love her as an person. But I do feel like she need to change her style in the future because going be tried of her barbie style.

how can nicki fans drag chris?
Chris has outsold Nicki 5x and more.. anywho
Until Nicki stops trying to be the black katy perry, she's not getting much love from me. I need her to get in the booth and kill it with LYRICISM, not cute lovy dovy songs for 10 year old girls. I understand she wants to be versatile, but she didn't find a good balance with "pink friday". She sang more than she rapped. It's more pop songs than hip hop songs. She's even being marketed as a pop star. Nicki should be a rapper than sings, not a singer that raps. she needs to take some cues from Drake. he's someone that had a good balance

because she's the only active female rapper.. Do you actually think she has more money than Missy? really? If forbes was doing lists like these back in the 90's, I'm sure Kim would have been on there as well.

I do. I love her facial expressions, her Harajuku style, and she is a great rapper IMO.

Gerl... you know it's the other way around. Nicki had the Harajuku style way longer than Katy did. Besides, Katy only wore it ONCE at the VMA's. ![deadbanana](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/bananas/deadbanana2_zpsd45da7d4.gif)
