MONSTER

No, I've listened to her rap. That's why I don't like her. But it's plain to see that she'll be successful--she does funny noises (and makes accompanying funny faces in the videos) as part of her cutesy-rap schtick, rolls with Li'l Wayne, and guys want to fuck her. She's all set.

Nicki always seems to go off into some kind of cockney accent I think, it just pisses me off. I can't deal with that shit, at all.

I haven't listened to this since the one time I heard it when it came out, and I have to say, hearing it now,


it's pretty impressive to me how LL is so obviously the better MC here. His lyrics aren't nearly as


of-the-moment-mega-murder-mobbed-out NYC '90's style or metaphorical, but he's such


a better rapper. Dude is just entertaining. The "I don't give a fukk boo" line is probably his best since then.





Oh, and homegirl yall are discussing is very average to me. And I don't care for the monster song.


Interesting points about gimmicky rappers, too.

In his excellent write-up on "Monster," Noz mentions that Nicki fires some shots at Kim in this verse. I'm not hearing it. What did I miss?

 

[bassie]

The jabs didn't stand out to me til you/Noz mentioned it - they did have their little back and forth a little while ago. This?





And if I???m fake I aint notice cause my money aint


So let me get this straight wait I???m the rookie


But my features and my shows ten times your pay








From Complex Mag re the voices she uses:





I have no idea. I think Wayne kind of influenced that. He has always been really carefree when he raps and I was like, ???I don???t have to stay in one cadence or stay in one tone when I rap???I can just do what I want.??? Sometimes the sh-t I say is over people???s heads and I feel like I need to dumb it down a bit so people can understand it. I think if I had said a lot of raps in a particular voice, people would go, ???Yo, that sh-t was hard??????but when you change up your voice a little bit, they can???t see past that. And they???re lookin??? at me like, ???This bitch is stupid??????and I???m lookin??? at them like, ???No, bitch, you???re stupid.??? [Laughs.]

"He's that graffiti that you can't read but you know it's dope." - Ice Cube on E-40 (That is by far the best description of 40 that I've ever heard.)

This is great.
