In a genre where none of the female MC’s get along and even less are quick to give props to the next chick it’s nice to see that retired rapper MC Lyte does just the opposite.
At a recent speaking engagement at Millersville University in Pennsylvania legendary rapper MC Lyte took the opportunity to give credit where credit is due. She unexpectedly spoke high praises of the “Pink Friday” rapper Nicki Minaj.
“She is a smart business woman. Creatively she is a mesh of sweet tea, of MC Lyte, of Salt N Pepa, of Eve, of Kim, of Foxy, of everyone that has existed before. And we all have followed the steps of such great female MCs. There’s no way that I can say that I wasn’t influenced by Salt N Pepa.”
Contrary to rapper Lil Kim constantly stating that Nicki does not pay homage MC Lyte thinks just the opposite:
“And She gives homage. She’s says she’s been influenced by the female MCs but she’s also been influenced by a certain genre of music that many of us love but never had the guts to put it as a part of our music and that’s pop culture.”
Nicki much appreciated the warm words and tweeted off a thank you to MC Lyte.
“@MClyte thanks for the kind words sis.”
While Mc Lyte states that Nicki Minaj is a sweet tea of every rapper that came before her, one can not deny that the tea is potently sweetened with a Splenda called Lil Kim. Nicki Minaj is bascially a Little Kim with a nitro engine. She has the veteran Cash Money machine behind her and while Lil Kim forgot to grab some booty while she was getting all of her surgeries Nicki did not forget to make that part of her package. Quite frankly Nicki Minaj is everything a female rapper wants to be. But one can not deny she had to have great business skills to get her there.
On another note: It’s about time someone just came out and said Nicki Minaj is the sh@t. Too many people are too quick to dismiss people and put them down just because they don’t agree with everything a person does. No matter who a person is they are still just a person who had a dream. People should show more respect for people who put the time, effort and grind in to make their dreams come true. More importantly we all can’t be the same. Someone has to be different.

I like her and she a is smart business she inked a deal with mac and opi nail polish
its sad that ya love her,but yet dont want to help her..some fans you guys are smh
Like her…i wish her well i all she does
I am not a fan. She is pop music for the kids. I wish her success.
Love her. Graduate of New York City’s Fiorella H. LaGuardia School of the Arts. Able and talented songwriter. Crazy rapper. Good singer. Good artistic visionary. Good career visionary. Knows her fans, knows her audience and knows how to cater to them. WICKEDLY FUNNY. And, very importantly in the business she’s in, a smart business woman. Go to my page and see the two videos I posted of her — one in a post, the other in a comment below that post — you see her HEART, Kissy, in those videos (not to mention the two little girls in the videos are priceless and HILARIOUS — watch Ellen cracking up).
I think she is pretty.
She’s a fad. My honest opinion
Don’t like her and believe she is a fad and will play our within 3 years. Too colorful and animated. Her career will only last as long as she has her “Buffy the Booty” body. She reminds me of an old Busta Rhymes video… Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See..
The character she plays doesn’t do it for me, I find myself changing the station when most of her songs come on, with a couple exceptions. however, I dont know anything about her personally behind the image/brand. Regardless, I wish her and everyone the best at doing whatever makes their heart sing.
Beneficary Of The “Sucker MC” Era We Are In Now!! Sorry, I’m A Bit Old
She makes hits….not classiks…5 years down the road nobody will be bumpin this trash shes putting out….shes a Queen B waana B
I like her because she vibrant and she’s having fun.. Thats about it
she a young woman who only seems to do things in what she thinks is correct. Is she modest-NO.. give her 5 to 10 more yrs to come back to earth.. 11-13-11
She for the kids… Not the grown ups
If she was like the Nicki Minaj I seen & heard in the BET Cypher 2 years ago, yes. She was a lyrical beast. I don’t like the persona she has taken on. One Lady Damn Gaga is enough. Get back to spitting real lyrics. Not the b.s. pop sh*t.
Is it true that Nicki Minaj has but implants? lol And if so, does that still make her smart? lol Although she does have a nice tail for business… lol
I agree
