There’s a reason the other girls take notes from Nicki Minaj whether they like her or not. They can’t deny her cadence, flow switches, her creativity, her animated voice, and her PEN.

The issue Nadeska, is you have opinions about Nicki but you don’t hold any other female rapper accountable who ignite, start, or respond to beefs. That’s all.

Thank you Ebro for explaining things to those other two that kept trying to twist Nicki’s words into a negative.

Nadeska is actually lying. Nicki doesn’t only give a tough girl persona. That’s the only side of her YOU choose to focus on. Every Nicki album starts with vulnerability. Every one. It’s been 5 years in the making for this album ofcourse the most vulnerable moments would be saved for her album.

You can’t call yourself the best rapper and you don’t write your own shit! You just can’t, that’s not how it works. I’m so proud and happy for Nicki and all the flowers and love she’s getting this era. She’s truly one of the best to do it male or female. Give her her flowers

What’s crazy is they knew this all along but couldn’t deny it once Ebro said it bluntly to their face. They knew Nicki was doing her thing but women who are bosses are seen as confrontational and hard to work with. Like Nicki said if a man is commanding the room he’s a boss when she’s commanding the room she’s a b*tch.

I have ZERO complaints!!! FINALLY they’re all in agreement about Nicki’s talent and what she’s contributed to the culture! Pink Friday 2 is amazing and I’m glad yall liked it as well! ❤

Nicki did not treat newer artists the way old heads treated her. Every artist should have to prove their talent, that’s standard. She gave most of these girls free features. None of the old heads supported her and don’t till this day.

do people really still think nicki hasn't opened doors for those coming into the industry? lol she's collaborated with every rap girl and gave co-signs that hold an immense amount of weight. in the years to come, i think her influence and power will reveal itself. she's deemed latto a chop-let's revisit this in a yr and see if latto is still relevant without nicki's cosign

You can tell Nadeska isn't a fan AT ALL. Nicki got vulnerable on the Pinkprint. One of her top albums 🙄 She clearly only pays attention to her big hits.

Thank you Ebro for this, she really deserves all of the praise and you are a good cookie for putting her with the greats because she is great

eBROO When you mentioned her being everyone bestie and lowering her standard…WHEW…say that again. They say the realest ppl in the world only have a few REAL friends. I’m glad she stands on business when it comes to her PASSION. Period!

I’m so confused when people say they don’t see Nicki being vulnerable in records and they want that from her. Like did yall not listen to the Pinkprint????

She does not always give us the tough guy persona, you just don’t listen to the full albums. Cause there’s always vulnerability.

The part in the Nicki interview that stood out a lot to me was her saying that she doesn’t think hip hop in general don’t care for her. Like imagine in your career you’re the most successful and every time you turn the whole company is against you

Queen Nicki 👑all in 2024 just like in 2023 💯

There’s a standard & NICKI has brought that back to rap as a whole THE QUEEN REIGNS 💕🫧

Naw nadeska, it’s because you be saying so wack ish like Nicki ain’t the MF standard. Back handed compliments aren’t a compliment. Respect the queen, & shut ya mouth, and we won’t be on you for it. Simple. GLAD you wasn’t present for her album review, that other MAN in your place was respectful, insightful, and did a way better job of being credible and intelligent than you ever have. Take notes. & stream PF2. The standard 🥰

The Barbz's issue with Nebraska isn't one-sided or just because she has critiques on Nicki's music. Barbz have critiques with some of her music and vocalize it to her daily, that's why she's so hard on herself with regards to her own albums. The issue Barbz have with Nebraska is her one-sided point of view with the drama regarding Nicki. She only addresses whenever Nicki speaks up for herself but never speaks on what trigger's Nicki's reaction. You can't always try to police someone's response to things, police those who constantly try to instigate the problems. That's why Barbz go so hard for Nicki, everyone seems to turn a blind eye to those who wrong Nicki and only pay attention when she speaks up. Nicki plays the "bad guy" role because that's what was assigned to her even when she has valid reasons for her actions. No matter what she did/said, she was the villain. So she flipped it into a game and made it beneficial to her. It's not about being petty or bitter, but y'all are going to treat her a certain way anyways so she will enjoy herself.

It's about time you're saying that Nicki's music 🎶 🎵 is good Nadeska 👍🏻 🤣

Nadeska has so much hate and insecurity beaming through her. She is a dark, dense cloud over this show and brand.

Nicki looks good leads the pack by a stretch 🫰🏽🏆📝💯💯🔥🔥🔥

Also, I wish it was noted that one of the reason the Barbz do go to bat for her is because they know what she goes through and her vulnerability. Those late nights she was on amp, or Stationhead or IG live, back to the old days going on live on older platforms to talk to her fans where they heard the sadness in her voice or knew how late she was up working. She talks to her fans about what’s going on with her. But blogs and journalist take snippets or paint a portrait of her as just the bad guy that is coming at other girls and never what’s done to her or what she goes through. So regular people don’t understand. Even when she’s on live playing and would purposely say “watch this, I’m about to make them more mad” then a blog that’s doesn’t like her will cut it and make it seem like she’s an irrational Coke head. As if the woman isn’t a trained actress who has always had a crazy persona.

15:50 yeah a lot of people are not good at album sequencing but I can still appreciate the single song by itself. Nicki's album has some great songs and so versatile. I liked it it was playful club music, reflecting on past, venting and vulnerable bit. Its no doubt why it is the highest selling female rap album of the year. She is the queen of rap and makes hits but also can give you bars.

Great review of Nicki’s interview and album overall. Welcome to Gag City Ebro. Glad to hear the young lady’s perspective on Nicki from a nonbias standpoint…finally.

she did took all that heat, like she said some famales cant take the heat of being the bad guy

Stop putting unrealistic expectations on Nicki @ Lowkey. She doesn't have to leave the door open for other female rappers just because she is the Queen. She has been and will always be selective with whom she chooses to work with. She's worked with more female artists than most other females but you continue to spin a false narrative for clicks and views.

I can’t believe yall are acting like yall don’t diss her and why she’s surprised that ppl like her

Ebro I felt you were hard on Nicki at her lowest a few years ago, but recently I really appreciate the light you shining on her she’s been working hard for 15 years.

First interview I liked of you guys …thank you guys for giving her flowers 💐 she deserves it so much

Nicki Minaj still REIGNS setting Genuine Certified LYRICAL STANDARDS 4 FEMALE RAPPERS. 15 YEARS Nicki Minaj's Musical Talents crossing DIFFERENT AUDIENCE PREFERRED 2 GENERATIONS 👑🐐

Nebraska is so miserable she can’t hide the hate 😅

Personally, I think Nicki problem is EVERY NEW GIRL TO THE GAME for years she worked with and applauded just for them to USE HER for a feature; get support from her fan base; and then leave attempt to leave her in the dust. How they stats looking NIE ? 😅

Amazing review. Nicki is the QUEEN

This was actually a good episode. I did not feel like the haters were hating. Ebro, you actually did a phenomenal job explaining the way Nicki feels. There is a huge difference between great you say good I say mediocre. Mediocre or good is the enemy because these artists that’s all they think about is making a single.. not an album a body of work and it being cohesive that’s why rap is down 40%. Because we have accepted any and everybody into the genre and we never should’ve done that. They lowered the bar and I don’t care what anyone says when Cardi B came into the industry, the bar was instantly lowered. And because of that, no one drives the new artist for greatness. They’re just looking for the next single to make it a hit.. this is how you destroy music period . We need more artists to be like Nicki Minaj, and think the way she thinks in terms of music. And as people in music, you have a responsibility to music and the people. Not to just be willing to accept anything that these artists are putting out this trash has to stop because as we have all seen. it has deeply affected rap particular. And again, which is why rap is down 40%. Hopefully we will go back to the standards of being great now that Nicki has come out with her. Going forward be honest with these artists and stop just saying oh it’s good music if it’s not don’t say it is because you’re helping to destroy rap when you do that and music period. I know this was long, but it needed to be said.

The other two is why Nicki don’t like NY radio cause as black people they do a disservice to music, rap, and the culture but Ebro held her down.

LOL i know it's killing the other two to give Nicki credit 🤣

Just like when cardi said she don’t care about the music or craft she was only there to make money perfect example of why she a culture vulture

“Starting to carry” boy it’s been carrying she’s been going since 12/8! 🦄🦄🦄

21:32 LOL i wish I was apart of you guys conversations! amazing

Ebro standing up for Nicki on this ep 👏🏾 thanks for reminding the haters about her greatness 🙌🏾

On point 💯💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Everyone wants a stamp from Nicki and once she gives it to them they do nothing with it in return so why should she even bother…It’s like she’s the only one who actually cares about the longevity of rap. She has said multiple times, if I give you a feature I will outshine you so you have to do your best and so in every collaboration she’s had she’s made sure people were doing their best and sent them back to get the best song that fits both of them and the best verse and that’s what you do when you care about your craft, you don’t let people ride your wave for a check and give you a mid verse for optics if I give to you and you know I’m going to boost your career do something with that opportunity I’m literally giving you an arm and a leg up so you can elevate!!! Imo Nicki has given too much and see where it got her, you still have bozos saying she didn’t open doors or helped others the fckn audacity. Without Nicki who is dominating 15 yrs in there would be no female rap.

love this

13:55 Queen was not a vulnerable album. Queen is one of her most hardest rap albums because the industry was trying to say that Cardi is better than her. She had to show the people OH I CAN RAP AND I CAN WRITE! Queen was made out of anger. PF2 was made out of fun.

Thank you for giving Nicki her flowers EBRO ❤

Ebro thank you so much for finally understanding this make me so happy we forgive you as a barb

❤❤❤❤ GREAT JOB EBRO BARB

“People will love you & support you when it’s BENEFICIAL” 💯🗣️🗣️

This girl is giving me big hater vibes.

This was definitely a dope episode

Ebro is SO gorgeous btw!!!! and I love how he breaks hip hop music down into a Real Conversation!

Ebro did her best interview. He mainly talked about music. Joe Budden was trying to be messy.

Yessssss ebro

The interview with nicki Minaj was amazing

Thank you Ebro for riding for Nicki 🦄🦄🦄🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Nicki deserves her flowers!!❤❤

I’m proud Nicki has shut these haters up and is getting her flowers! 💐

Nebraska you give what you get babe ❤

Thank you for acknowledging nicki greatness

24:22 I CAN JUST FEEL THE ENERGY through the phone when you guys are low key bein shady🤜🏻🤛🏽

I love when we reference Nicki’s bars when speaking about her “multi-million dollar home BODY” lol because YEA ! that’s why we study her lyrics and her fans know her more because she always expresses herself through her music for real and lets us in . LISTEN TO HER MUSIC WITH HEADPHONES WITH THE LYRICS IN FRONT OF YOU TO REALLY GET IT

Thank you Ebro for providing a constructive commentary about the Queen and PF2.

Shut up Nadusty! She keep back tracking. Nicki Minaj is the bar she is the best!! 🦄

Last project was Queen era (hate train era ) so of course

You’re not a barb ! But nice feedback & most of the barbs have a problem with her bec she’s another angel yee

Ebro's approach on this is solid. 👏👏👏👏 Also alot of negative things were going on in Nicki's life around the time or leading up to her dropping Queen. Safaree/ Meek Mill/ and other drama Even now with the passing of her father and she even mentioned the fake female unity in regards to people not calling her to check on her during that time etc I don't even think people think Nicki is a saint but her fans understand her.

I'm anticipating a debut album from Lady London that will be epic & special.

Not sure if it's even correct to compare her to other female raps cos I see her right up there with her actual peers like Jay-Z, j.cole, Kanye, lil Wayne, Eminem. I'm not even a barb but that's how I see it.

Ebro did his homeworkkkk

Next ..🌟

3:10 I LITERALLY LOVE HER idk what the barbz got going on the #SmartBarbz know wassup

Nickiiii Sag Rules 12 18

I like the commentary about having standards I totally agree

19:17 MEETTRRROOO ! 😎 Metro X Future is definitely going to be the best album of 2024 : they rather do a mixtape though', just to remeber the old days.

19:00 right about Cole

I feel like Nicki has always been very vulnerable in her music .

It would be best for apple to give him is own show. 14:31

2BGR8🦾 17:00

see these two clowns on the side it pains them to give nicki her flowers... its always a but

Nicki Minaj Queen of rap forever

Low-key such a hater! PF2 has been carrying since 12/8 and will carry us through 2024! Nadeska, we do separate the personal from the artist. YOU and Lowkey can't separate the two. You are never objective when it comes to the Queen. Take accountability for the hate that you spew!!

2:05 🔥🔥🩵💜😎PLEASANTLY SURPRISED INDEED

They were the side that hatter the whole time on the couch. Ouch 😅

Yooooo

Any thoughts on the 21 Savage movie?? lol

Nadeska, I see you 👀. Drop the skincare sis.

@Ebro I hope you get your cookies ate now 😋 😜

I bet Nicki wouldn’t do an interview with that woman. But I don’t know why she’s mad 😂😂 she ain’t ever heard of “can’t beat them join them .”

Chie no one looking for that other girl album they got tired of waiting😂😂😂Nicki and Cole yes I can’t wait til he drop

Nicki Minaj reminds girls like Nadeska of the girls in school that she couldn’t sit at lunch with!

nadeskas hair needs some serious assistance 🤦🏽

quiet as kept we’re waiting for cole to drop this year

Nedeska 😂😂, we’ve forgiven you.

The Pinkpint too was very emotional , people pretend like they did not see another side of her . She showed that she is a regular woman , with regular issues .

Anddd no one so excited for a Cardi B album 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ebro you tried that. You seen mean girls lol.

Nicki asked Remi if she wanted to work with her just when she was out of prison but she said Nahhhh I’ll pass! How is she a bad guy? Remmy went on pushing negative media about Nicki. Until she got whipped than she said we could have used the same energy working together.

I just said I want a album from Roddy Rich

I understand Nadeska and Low on how they think the barbz will nitpick* any take and that might be true for the mob. However, I’m pretty objective to certain critiques. I love her and rock with her but I’m not dumb. Sometimes the people you ride for you just want to shake em a little bit, and even I can hear the extra sauce and sass on their commentary. Ebro not free from criticism either, he’s flip floppy to me but that’s the nature of the game and he knows it. N&L are just annoying cause you don’t stand in it. Just own it. I also don’t understand why she’s expected to do so much more coaching and fighting for the girls than she already does. Why is this a responsibility or expectation of her beyond the collars and behind the scenes camaraderie? She’s cautious now with opening up to the new girls specifically because there has been an agenda that has worked to some extent.
