Ghetto Barbie and Ken

Well, as part of my monthly thing, I'm doing my monthly updates on bringing stupid and crap news about a certain rapper who demands attention, and thus I'm providing a dose  of such nonsense as part of the agreement. Tis a shame, though. I was on a role on attacking classic bullshit, refuting the claims with evidence, rational arguments and so on and so forth. But now I'm back to Kanye again.

So, what's new? Oh nothing but a source I found from some website calling itself Zacquisha (probably like all putrid pop-culture sites, it's a focal point for a Zac Efron shrine or something):

"Kanye West can’t be all that bad as he is taking Nicki Minaj under his wing.
Rapping greenhorn Nicki Minaj looks up to Kanye West as her true-blue mentor. Despite the negative publicities that hound the 33 year old rapper, Nicki has only good words for Kanye she is comfortable asking him advice about music, career and even fashion. Nicki insists that Kanye West is a “good person” whom she has “well-rounded conversation” about things that matter to her.

Meanwhile, Kanye West was again heard ranting in front of a concert audience about his so-called haters in response to the success of his newly released album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.”"

 Take a look at the last paragraph. Nice to see that Kanye's favourite past-time of ranting to the crowd hasn't died down. Such a healthy ego. You go on, Kanye! Keep calling out those imaginary haters which keep trying to pull you down for being excellent. Just don't let me hear that you're going after people who've just come out of their teens again, cos' I'll fucking own ya! Mmkay?

So yes, Kanye's decided to take on Nicki Minaj as a protege. Does anyone know who Nicki Minaj is? Well, allow me introduce you to Obi Wan Kanyeezy's young padawan:

This is Nicki Minaj. And yes, she's stealing the look of, of all people, Lady Gaga. Well, one of them, anyway.

In any case, from hearing her music, Nicki Minaj for the most part seems like a rather talented rapper, although perhaps too little, too late for me since I've long since been disenchanted with hip-hop. Partly because much of it has gotten incredibly lazy and stupid in the past decade. And it should go without saying that I'm not interested with the obnoxious persona that made this piece of crap with Will.I.Am.:



Between the two of them, they actually make it harder for black people to admit that they like anime and Japanese culture in general and find it cool. And that's considering the people who I hang out with. I mean, I don't seriously think the term "weeaboo" is a serious insult, especially considering where it came from (The image board by the name of 4Chan), but that video alone could inspire a black-based pejorative, which would be possibly more offensive.

Although an interesting question is put forward: Since Nicki Minaj is signed to Ca$h Money Records, which is the record label of Lil' Wayne, why is she under Kanye West's wing, and not Lil' Wayne? Well, go read the first paragraph again. This is Lil' Wayne, BTW.

Young Money millionaire, indeed.

Nicki goes to Kanye for tips on fashion. I consider this to be a very good thing. Sure, I have reason to believe that Kanye's an idiot. But you surely can't deny his good sense of fashion:

The man is on the front cover of GQ. Seriously. Now, compare this to Lil' Wayne's "fashion sense":

Seriously, what the fuck? I had to struggle pretty hard to notice that his T-shirt had the image of Martin Luther King on it. And those who are reading this probably just realised this. Anyways, Lil' Wayne, I'm no fashion expert, but if you insisting in going all white, you can keep the hat, but lose the black sneakers, FFS. And pull your pants up, you're not in prison anymore.


And also, most importantly, musically Nicki could be going in a different direction. Not that I entirely care. Personally, I think Kanye is actually a better rapper than Lil' Wayne. I heard many a rap fan say Lil' Wayne is the greatest MC because he comes out with some next-level shit, popping some different lyrics you ain't even thought about...in reality, he pulls the shit out of his arse. And not even in a good way. At least Kanye uses actual word-pay and metaphors. Nicki may be on Lil' Wayne's record label, but her going to Lil' Wayne's advice on music is like Missy Elliott going to ODB...expect even ODB's lyrics made some degree of sense. And no, this doesn't mean I think "Yeezy" is the best rapper alive, it just means that "Weezy" isn't. Not that I care either way.


I think Kanye and Nicki might do each other good. With Kanye's blatant sampling, and Nicki Minaj's "biting" ("Like a dungeon dragon" was originally Busta Rhymes' bar), they might even rename themselves Snatch n' Bite. Although Minaj does seem to be somewhat decent. An effective double-entrendre!

So that's it: A brief Kanye article.which said little of Kanye himself this time round. Well, my New Year's Resolution is to find his Twitter and follow it. I'm not going to do a recap of the year for him since I just started this last month. So here's to Ghetto Barbie and Ken! (Even though Kanye's not ghetto)
