Rap Round Table: Is Nicki Minaj Overrated?

Some rappers happen to be thoughtful, intelligent people. Each week, Rocks Off will have some of them here discussing issues relevant to their culture.

*Lil Kim's previous dis song aimed at Nicki Minaj.

This Week's Panel: Lil O, Medicine Girl, Delo, Brad Gilmore, D-Risha, Eskabel, Chane, O.N.E., Preemo, more.

Not Invited: Lil' Cease.

This Week's Prompt: Lil' Kim recently called Nicki Minaj "overrated." Do you find this to be the case?

Medicine Girl: Yep.

RoderickVONN: Lil' Kim needs to stop while she's not ahead. Truth is Nicki is being herself on the tracks and proving that rap is not a gender.

Delo: That's a "Stupid Hoe."

Lil O: I don't get involved in catfights.

Kyle Hubbard: I agree. What she has in funny voices and faces she completely lacks in content. She applies the same formula to everything.

Brad Gilmore: I'm going to be completely honest. When I first heard Nicki Minaj, I was like, "Damn, a female who can actually rap." But as she continued on, I lost interest in her talent and skill, and [became] more interested in why people talk about anybody in YMCMB.
