Loving the ciara song: She'll be featured on a Wale track, another ciara joint, 2 chris brown songs, a drake joint, richgang songs, future song and hopefully a JLO/Britney/Katy/Eminem/Kanye features as well. This year is about features 2014 will be about the album.

I think it's the best thing she can do right now. She said last year that she wasn't going to be doing any features but I think not doing them made her more distant to her home format and fans. While sometimes having someone on so many hits at once might be overwhelming, I think at this point many of the songs she'll be on won't be hits *primarily* because of her so she can benefit from the exposure the songs will get anyway on urban formats.

Here is some quotes if you don't feel like watching the video(from Necole Bitchie-http://necolebitchie.com/2013/05/28/video-nicki-minaj-peter-rosenberg-hash-out-their-differences-face-to-face-on-hot-97/) Nicki on what she would have done differently looking back In hindsight, I should have just did the show. Iβve never allowed anyone to make me let my fans down. Even if it wasnβt a Nicki Minaj fan, just a fan in general, in hindsight, I should have come out because itβs my hometown especially and they shouldnβt have been brought into whatever we were going through. I apologize for not coming out and not doing the show because they had nothing to do with that. When I thought about it, a whole bunch of people were punished for something they knew nothing about. Something they couldnβt control and it was really no way for me to make it up so I felt really bad about the whole situation. Nicki on why she was offended by Peter Rosenbergβs jab during last yearβs Summer Jam I get it, thatβs what you do, to meβ¦I just donβt know your resume. I never found you funny, I never found you entertaining, I never found you smart, I just found you annoying. I grew up on Hot 97. I know Angie and [Funkmaster] Flex and Mr. Cee and all of these people, and whether they like me, I just know their resume. Thatβs why I called Flex. With you, itβs like, who are you? To me, you donβt have enough of a resume to make those comments but you did, and it is what it is. Being white also struck a chord with me. I was like, βHe is on a black station with black people.β I just didnβt like the feel of it. I was thinking those pop stations, they donβt really get on there and blast the pop artists like that. On Hip Hop heads being disappointed that she did Starships I donβt give a ratβs ass if people donβt like Starships. Starships sold 7 million records worldwide, that means 7 million muthaββ liked Starships. Thatβs fine, I would feel like that too. You also have to remember I am not your typical rapper. I am not your typical person. I just did the biggest TV show in America for Godβs sake. I appreciate that you do see me as an emcee, because thatβs what I do and thatβs who I am. People try not to give me my credit but I really do this so when I step out and do a pop song, a lot of people are disappointed by that. I totally get it, I donβt judge you, Iβm not mad at people if they donβt like it. But I wanted to experiment. My whole career has been a playing field for me to try new things. I never put a limit on myself. I donβt like when we, especially black women, put a limit on what we can do. If I really wanted to right now, I can go back in and make another pop record like that to sell [millions of records] but Iβm choosing not to do it. Iβm choosing to get back to my essence and just feed the core Hip Hop fan. I feel like I need [Hip Hop] because itβs just a more powerful platform for me. Peter Rosenberg on why itβs such a big deal that Nicki Minaj did pop records In the history of this game, if you look at it in terms of sales, reach and actually touching people, there is Nicki Minaj and Lauryn Hill. In terms of actual global reach, and letβs be real, Lauryn Hill made a Fugees album that made a difference and one solo album that made a difference, youβve already surpassed that so you are an iconic female rap artist. Itβs not surprising that you create major conversations when you switch directions in any way. Nicki Minaj On experimenting with different types of music and getting back to the essence of Hip Hop Not only did I do it, I won doing it. It wouldnβt have been a big deal if Starships didnβt sell that much but because it became so big, it erased everything else I was doing. It overshadowed everything else I feel like I did it, but I donβt need to do it again. Iβve been doing a lot of rap features and just getting back to that place before I dropped my first album, which is βkill, kill, kill, kill, kill everything.β
Peter: The βHello, Good Morningβ feature made me say, βHelloβ. The Trey feature was amazing, [...] With βMonsterβ I said, this woman just stole the song with three of the biggest rappers in the game. The pop songs are cool but you do so well as a rapper, as a rap fan, we do love when we see you rap.
Nicki: Rapping helps me stay on my grind. Iβm very competitive when it comes to wordplay, my writing, my flow. Itβs very hard for me to give people props, especially females. I feel like a lot of girls come in the game and say, βIβm going to put some words together and make them rhyme.β I studied for so many years how to make my flow sound to the point where it feels like you are watching art. Thatβs why I started doing all of those crazy voices, that I donβt do anymore, I wanted to play with my craft. And thatβs why βMonsterβ became such a big deal, itβs like βWhoa! Different personalities!β Who has the balls to do that? Nobody! Because everybody is afraid. Everybody was afraid to be fun, to be playful, to be a character. I studied acting, this is what I do.
I donβt limit what I like, but I agree that Nicki Minaj should focus on rap . I wouldnβt have done it differently. That got me to American Idol, and American Idol got me ['The Other Woman' movie], so everything plays a part. I would do everything the same exact way. On if she has any regrets There is one regret. When I was working on my second album, I took on so much. I rehearsed with Madonna for the Superbowl, I did the NBA All Star thing and I did the Grammys. It was too much for me to focus on writing my album. With my first album, I knocked everything off of my calender, I didnβt care who you were, I was in a zone. For my second album, I spread myself too thin. For this album, once this movie is done, I am going back home and I am going to be in my dungeon writing. On if she thinks sheβs been guilty of being a diva Is Lil Wayne tough? I handle my business and also I speak up for myself but if I was not like this, so many people would have taken advantage of me. People donβt understand, when I was [coming up], I took a lot from men who didnβt want me to know my worth. Iβve dealt with a lot of stuff from guys, and plus my father was so crazy with his alcohol and drug abuse and stuff like that. Iβve always felt like, Iβm never going to let anyone pull me down and make me feel small. Iβm never going to let a man do that and sometimes that transfers over into your career as a woman. Thereβs a chip on your shoulder because youβve experienced headstrong men, and Iβve experienced my mom not really speaking up as much as I wanted her to when I was young. Iβm a business woman. I run companies. I donβt think people understand that and so sometimes there is a diva moment but my heart is always in the right place. Read more: Necole Bitchie.com:

So I have to fall on my sword. I WAS WRONG. I CAN ADMIT IT This was a good set up. I never questioned that Nicki could handle herself just that Rosenburg doesnβt deserve the opportunity. She handled him and he got down on his knees and praised ha. Now Iβma need to see top 5 placements on urban radio for now on. LOL.;)
Dissertation on what went down: So the first two minutes Rosenberg spilling his guts. Punk ass Excuses (dissed the most mainstream song at the time), gurl bye. Ebro betta tell the truth fβn idiot 3 minutes of excuses Ok, Nicki. I respect that she admits she should have done the show. She still was right for knowing her worth. She apologized for not doing the show. But you did a free show... Ooh...Nicki TRIIIIIIIED it with that resume shade. She betta go in and let have. Not your typical rapper...YASS claim it. NEver put a limit...so true. YASS CHOOSING to get back to the essence. Ebro better tell the truth. Hip hop DOES put boundaries YASS Lauryn and Nicki are global he better tell the truth. Oooh she went in on other females. So true. Everybody was afraid. YASS. No regrets. Dungeon...YASS She admits that there is a chip on her shoulder. So true...walk away. YASS nicki paying homage to Foxy, Kim, Lauryn, Remy, Missy and Left eye
Conclusion: Nicki handled herself like a queen. Rosenberg fell on his sword and made good points. Ebro is Ebro. I still donβt like how he either made up that phone conversation in December or revealed some information he should keep closely held. Now, Nicki betta appear at Summer Jam and steal the show just by showing up. Donβt perform 2013. 2014 do summer jam as additional promo for May 2014 album and in between BET awards promo. Summer 2013- features and working on album VMAs attendance Fall 2013-finalizing album Clothing launch 2nd fragrance launch Grammy nominated features and single high school AMAs attendanceβ¨ Winter 2013/4- release first grammy nominated urban single Grammyβs attendance NBA all stars performance Work on wig line Spring 2014-release album (tv/mag/radio promo blitz/ May release 2nd split single (crossover and ratchet urban summer smashes) Summer 2014 Summer Jam June Mid to late June kick off world tour in N. America and S. America BET awards performance Late summer 3rd single rhythmic single VMAs performance Fall 2014 Australia and European Tour Late fall 4th crossover single Winter 2014 Asian/Japan/Oceania tour Grammys PERFORM AND WIN Spring 2015 urban closer single
Sidenote: NOt Kim retweeting her stans comments on Nicki. She is such a been a fan. Her radio was turnt UP when Nicki was spilling dot true tea. The fact that Eve just debuted with 9k sales and she has respect of the GP, Lil kim fans think Nicki scurred of her βDoneβ album. LOL.

That's as dumb as saying she shouldn't record songs like "Starships" because it's white music.

She handled herself well and stood up for herself. I think she could have gone without the shade but he did insult her so he does deserve it lol. All in all it's good that Nicki and him are cool and I'm glad she realizes that she should have performed at the show.

I enjoyed her pop success, I don't know why ppl trash it so much. She's skilled at it, she isn't a Amber Rose or Kim Kardashian at this genre. I am ready though for this third album though.

MXY FUSIONS: necolebitchie.com/2013/06/05/nicki-minaj-wraps-the-other-woman-signs-new-moscato-deal/#more-242208Meanwhile, today it was also announced that she would be the new face of Myx Moscato as well as part owner of the wine brand. According to the rumor mill, the deal is similar to Diddyβs Ciroc deal and Jay-Zβs ownership in Ace of Spades which means she is not only getting paid big bucks to for the endorsement, but she will also see big bucks on the back end from a percentage of the annual sales. The collaboration between Nicki Minaj and Myx Fusions is a game changer. Nicki is an innovative trendsetter and has the ability to energize the masses. She embodies everything that Myx Fusions represents β style, spontaneity and the desire to push the envelope and inspire change. Both brands are perfectly aligned. Nicki also has a partnership with K-Mart, as well as an endorsement deals with Beats By Dre and MAC Cosmetics. Her Viva Glam lipstick became the #1 selling Viva Glam shade of all time thanks to her Barbz. --------------------------------------------------- THE OTHER WOMAN FILMING:

New perfume, clothing line, movie and new album for twenty-fourteen!. Sounds like a promising year. Yeah, i think 2013 will be about features that put her back on urban register. 2014 will be a more mature, introspective and empowering vision. She's already established herself and broke all of the records. She's going to tell stories and show us the pinkprint...even if she isn't naming her album that anymore. If she can sell 800k on a controversial experimental album and still win: -headlining tours, reality tv, -AMAs -BMAs -TCAs -EMAs -VMAs -PCAs -BET awards her next album will be about winning the holy grail (Grammy) her next era will be about expanding her brand that she set the foundation for already -lip gloss -fragrance -clothing line -PinkPill -ads -moscato drinks -acting (movies and tv guest spots) start of -wig line -foundation Her incredible 53M+ records sold with be at 75M by the end of her 3rd era 3 #1 platinum albums I just need for her team to work on her getting her hollywood walk of fame either by the end of her 3rd era during the 4th album era.

Great post slw. But I think it'll be a few more years before she is considered for a star lol. I'm also hoping for that Grammy!
And I don't see this album coming later this year. She said she was going to begin work on it after she wrapped filming the movie. That was only a few weeks ago. She said she wants to take her time with this album and not make the same mistake with Roman Reloaded.

Speaking of falling on one's sword...GOOD. EFFING. GRIEF.
On a positive note, I'm glad she admitted she should have been an adult and just performed that show for her fans anyway, regardless of how butthurt she was. It's a sign of maturity. Therefore, a step in the right direction.
