Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to go buying her albums or seeing her live because it's a too modern style of rap for me. I'm semi-strictly old school 90's.

I probably prefer Iggy overall but Nicki is good.

Best male rapper goes to Macklemore though.

I'm a huge Mackelmore fan. He was epic in Abu Dhabi.

Iggy should be shot though, sorry.

I think Nicki gets her message across far clearer than Led Zeppelin.

Re: Nicki Minaj

I'm also a fan of Rap and Hip Hop. I'm definitely more talking the 90/00's acts like Tupac, Biggie, Dre, Snoop, Naz, Ice Cube, Eve, Little Kim, NWA, Naughty by Nature etc etc tho.

I love the inbuilt comedy and intellect in a lot of rap. Mini-millhouse and I often study and analyse (carefully selected) rap lyrics in a similar way I used to study poetry at school. He loves it.

That's awesome! Wasn't there a film linking rap and poetry?

I totally agree tho, the 'proper' lyricists like Tupac, Biggie, Ice Cube, Eminem etc were/are very clever at what they did/do.
