I Hate Everything About Nikki Minaj. Except…

 Joyce345 They're a total rip-off of the iconic John Paul Gaultier  perfume bottles.

 VictoriaAntoine Like Rihanna she is kicking it with man who kicked her butt, that Sarafee (sp) dude beat her down in Dallas last year. Yup I remember that. Still, she has him as her hype man/purse carrier. Oy!

 BWWithOtherBrothers  VictoriaAntoine   Yeah, BWWOB, I remember that too.........oh, boy.  Smh.

 VictoriaAntoine   I'll give you that, VictoriaA, her business acumen, but that's it. 

They*

 TrishaJefferson I love her personality. I am not really into her music at this point because I just don't like that poppy stuff. I think that she could do so much better but I understand her cashing in on it while she can but I hope that she tries something a little deeper one day. I don't understand why people beat up on her so much. She's very talented and seems very astute.

 TrishaJefferson   I love  nicki to   she is super creative and funny.  funny cuz i normally like the blues and country music

@DeepWater Lmao, Why You So Mad, Bruh? Nicki Is The Only Successful Female Rapper. Point Blank Period. You Don't Have To Like Her Nor Respect Her Because At The End Of The Day She Still Going Be On Top. Now Run && Tell That!

 TrishaJefferson   I feel you on that.   But she ain't bringin' nothin' to the game, no soul, no somethin' somethin', you know.   I means I can still recite Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez' No Scrubs, Hat To Da Back, What About Your Friends, Waterfalls, Girl Talk, I means, that's right off the top of my head.     I think this Nikki Garbage characher is a very pretty girl (I think she's Chaka Kahn's secret child without all the makeup, somebody will deliver this story someday), but she ain't got it.     Maybe you are a young person and think she's hot, I'm not mad at that, but where's the somethin', somethin'?   Where's the soul?   Even good rappers have a measure of some type of soul.  This girl is tryin' to keep up with Lady Gaga, who, imo, don't have an ounce of soul.    It's a Black woman throwin' herself up for public consumption without giving anything to the public.   I love Superbass to honest, however, I've heard her "new" music and it's not danceable, won't last more than a blast of Bazooka bubblegum.   And that's just what her music imo is, bubblegum.    I mean this woman won't come anywhere near even Salt & Peppa whom were fun, joke, party music in its day, yet we still dance to it 20 years later, even my younger under 20 cousins like them and stated to me yesterday that they felt Nikki's "music" was cute for all of 2 nanoseconds.  I think she's a very pretty girl but she needs to bring the bang for the buck and that she ain't doin' right now.    I wish to this day that Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez wasn't killed in a car accident in Honduras, South America at 27 years old, she could rap, since she was tween, and brought, believe it or not, SOUL, to the rap game.    Men are one thing but for women to soul to rap is amazing.   Even Mariah Carey can rap better than Ms. Garbaaage.    When she brings somethin' to game, I'll show more respect.   I've tried rappin' myself (do background vocals) and sound stupid myself.    It does take skill to bring poetry to beat.    But this girl is sad to me, again, very pretty, but no rap skills, sorry.

 DeepWater  TrishaJefferson She's a plastic drone! I don't care what white stars do I'm talking about her. Can't stand her and her sex worker persona. Fake body parts x100. Nothing to admire. Nikki Misognist. Ugh!

 BWWithOtherBrothers  DeepWater  TrishaJefferson Rap music is a plague. That's all I have to say in this regard.

 DeepWater I only WISH she were a flash-in-the-pan who's career was on its death knell, but I'm afraid she will only get bigger than she is and we'll see many little Nickis in the future.  Entertainers are packaged as a brand--someone young and cute enough that they can dress up like a real live doll but ignorant enough to follow the orders of those packaging them. Hair, face, body, attitude...vocals don't matter because those can be fixed with a computer program.  You can even become a judge on one of the most popular singing competitions on television without being able to read/write music!  Because she lacks the talent to sustain a music career, she must expand her brand.  After the perfume, expect makeup, handbags, clothing line, shoes, jewelry, lingerie, liquor, endorsements, spokesperson gigs, etc.  Someone somewhere will put her in a movie or on TV or give her voiceover work.    

 Maxine   Yeah, unfortunately, you're right there, Maxine and about all the rest.   ***Sigh****

 DeepWater When they put Rihanna in Battleship and Mariah Carey in Glitter I knew there were no limits :(

 Maxine   Yuppers, you got that right, Maxine.  Saw Glitter, ugh.  Battleship w/RiRi went down before I got dough to see it....bwaaaahhhaa.

 Maxine  DeepWater There is the 5 year plan in show biz what rises comes down. Remember Hillary Duff, Miley Cyrus? Can you believe Paris Hilton used to be as big as the Kartrashians? Be patient peeps Miss Misogynist does not have what it takes to have a multi decade career her successor is being groomed as I type. She is no lovable Dolly Parton plastic surgery victim more like Lil Kim mixed with Joan Rivers, crass. Youngsters can't see the evil in her persona they accept her at face value. I'd be the Mother from hell she would not be welcome in my house good thing I do not have kids.

 DeepWater

 Agreed on Lauryn Hill.  And she's infinitely more attractive than Nicki Minaj.

 AminahMatthews I agree with everything you said!  Super Bass is such a fun, catchy song, but I'm sick to death of the most famous black women morphing into beige-skinned, blonde-haired cartoon characters.  Images are powerful.  Images are subconsciously absorbed.  Show me the white female icon that dons braids or cornrows and darkens herself with bronzer all the time--not as a fad but as a permanent look.  I don't begrudge people who want to have fun with costumes and wigs but this is beyond. How do you make a song denigrating nappy hair when you can't be seen in public without that stupid yellow straw on top of your head?  Anyone read The Bluest Eye?  Tragically it is real for some people, and they are getting paid handsome to parade their self-hate to the world.  And that bottle looks like it was designed by a 5 year-old.    

 AminahMatthews Yeah. I was watching her new video Pound the Alarm on a music channel and she was almost the same color as these light colored latinas dancing close to her. Then I looked up one of her old underground videos and she was a caramel skinned woman like myself. Its crazy.

 Jamila I can't support anything by her...An alternative is to get an essential oils carrier to mimic the fragrance...

My latest conversation: missuniverse2012

 BlackWomenDeserveBetter I understand. Im black friday shopping right now for healthier, organic alternatives to the healthy/beauty products I've been using. 

 Jamila  BlackWomenDeserveBetter Jamila, will you let us know what you find? I'd love to know.

 ASwirlGirl  BlackWomenDeserveBetter Thus far I've bought Trader Joe's Tree Tingle Shampoo with Peppermint, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus and Kalliste Gourmet Handmade Organic Vegan Face and Body Bar Soap, Tea Tree & Black Clay. 

I'm trying to get away from soaps. lotions, conditioners, etc., with sulfates in them. I have very bad dandruff and dry skin, and I've tried everything else, which leads me to believe it might be the sulfates in the products I'm using. I'm also thinking about getting some Dr. Bonner's soap, which advertises itself as being able to be used for cleaning EVERYTHING--hand soap, shampoo, detergent for my clothes, deep cleaning in the home. 

Side Note: I've never had white boyfriends who used lotion. Maybe sparingly, but not all over their body. And I also read a health/beauty book written by a white women where she said that if you hydrate (drink enough water), exfoliate (to remove dead skin and increase circulation), and stay away from skin drying agents (stuff with sulfates in it) then using lotion after every shower/bath should be unnecessary.  So, I'm going to follow the advice of the white folks and see if this will work for me. 

 Jamila  ASwirlGirl  BlackWomenDeserveBetter Yes, traditional productions made from petroleum will strip your skin and scalp of moisture.  I LOVE Dr. Bonner's hemp oil soaps, esp. the one with almond oil.  You can wash your body, hands, and hair with the same product.  I think it's worth it to pay a little more for natural soaps because they last longer than the ones made from animal fat, and you'll save on moisturizer.

 Jamila  ASwirlGirl  BlackWomenDeserveBetter Maxine  I use the Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap for my homemade all-purpose cleaning spray.  Trader Joe's has the best price for it here and a bottle lasts a long time.

 Jamila  BlackWomenDeserveBetter Thanks! Gonna check and see if I can find some of that online . . . .

 BlackWomenDeserveBetter And yeah,  I know  Nikki has said some crazy stuff (I recall a particularly negative comment about tightly coiled hair.)

 Jamila

 Ahahahaha

 youngteach You should respond to this post:

http://blackgirlnerdy.blogspot.com/2012/11/my-so-called-online-dating-life-part-5.html

Or maybe write about it on your blog. (I say this because you were looking for suggestions on topics.)

Or, better yet, you could write a post here (Why do guys reach out to you a gazzillion years later?--or something like that)

 Jamila

 I'll put something up about it.  I've just started doing the online dating thing, so I don't have a lot of info yet.  I will say, though, as I'm doing the electronic communication thing more (online dating, texting, etc.), I'm finding that I'm waiting longer to respond to people because that's the way women do me!  I think it's almost like a requisite that if the ball is in your court, you hold on to that ball as long as you possibly can.  I'll put something up soon, but food for thought...

Thanks, Jamila!
