First Kanye said that she has the potential to be the second best rapper in the world (behind Eminem), now Rick Ross is saying Nicki’s “one of the greatest”? Umm… what!? Anyways, Ricky also explains how his unnecessary intro ended up on Monster.
I wasn’t originally supposed to be on the record. I was next door working on another Kanye collaboration. I walked in, like, ‘This is so big.’ [Kanye] was like, ‘Yeah.’ He was playing the track, spitting his verse for me. That’s before he even laid it. I’m like, ‘That’s dangerous.’ At the same time, me being a hustler, I’m thinking of just an intro for the record. He told me the structure and the way he wanted it to go. I told him that was it. That’s the way I would do it. He was on point with it. Me being the artist I am, I was sitting there talking to him and came up with an intro bridge. It wasn’t a verse at all. It was just an intro or somewhat of a bridge to set the tone for ‘Ye to come in. Jay capped it off.

You really can’t be like, unnecessary. It went in the track just fine, because if it was anything more, people would complain to high heavens about how he ruined the song.
So no, not unnecessary. I doubt it would still have that same feel is Ross wasn’t there to hype it up in the beginning. No lie.
It is funny to think that without Wayne and her ass she wouldn’t even be known. What a world we live in.
@Detox so she cant spit? or r u saying she profits srom ghostwriters?
How is that a valid point at all?
Without Dre, Eminem wouldn’t even be known.
Without Jaz, Jay-Z wouldn’t even be known.
Nicki Minaj is a fucking beast. Watching her evolve has been crazy. She is one of my favorite rappers, easily. She absolutely CRUSHES everything around her. I’ve seen her beast on Wayne, Jay and Kanye. Respect her skill.
smh.
im definatley not a fan of niki but i think she went the hardest on Monster if u ignore the annoying voices
@RIOTlife my thoughts exactly
ross and ye only said that cause they wannna spit that ass
split*
.
fuck you ipod
That Track Is Classic I Banga Ross Added That Suspence For The Beat And “Gossip Gossip” To Drop Ye Spazzed On That Track Clever Ass Lyrics That Type Of Verse You Play Over And Over Than Continue Wit The Song Jay Is Classic He Never Fails. He Brings A Different Vibe Though But Nonetheless It was Hot. Nicky… I Was Shocked She Killed It. She Was Crazy On The Beat… Classic Song
Why is she still around?
these co-signs are gettin out of hand now.one of the greatest my ass and on top of that the bitch aint even got a album out yet
one verse does not make any rapper great, consistency does
WHATS NEW???????
OH U FORGOT ROSS WAS A LIAR???????
Jean Grae, Lauryn Hill, Psalm One, etc. >>>> Nicki Minaj
not to compare female rappers, but goddamn, that shit shouldn’t even HAVE to be said. How is nicki great exactly?
that statement is fucking laughable.
maybe one of the biggest… not greatest…
common case of when keeping it real goes wrong..damn shame
One of the greatest my ass fat boy… BOOM!
I like Nicki, but she has to put in more work (e.g. an album) before she’s considered one of the greatest. In terms of even being the greatest femcee, she’s got a while to go.
These niggas drinkin too much jesus juice
why do so many ppl take the time to hate on internet sites like this, question to myself, why do I take the time to read it, smh..
Nikki just needs to spit that heat instead of those voice gimmicks. Its just annoying, straight up.
Rick Ross just said that shit for some attention and probably cuz Kanye said something kinda similar about Nicki…or maybe he just trynna get some of that Nicki Minaj pu$$y.
So, because she wrote her own verse she’s all of a sudden “one of the greatest”? That doesn’t make sense. I very much appreciate that she’s writing her own shit, but lets wait a decade or so before she starts getting GOAT titles.
He’s hoping he can slip her the d

Go fuck yourself.
Anyway, Can we stop this nonsense already. Just because Shes the next hot thing doesnt even come close to qualifying her as one of the greatest. What a spit in the face to the architects of this genre.
what’s up with people like @thegrouch who capitalize every letter of every sentence? is that just one big ass album title? it’s not even proper grammar… jesus…
I have my doubts on actually in what category she is one of the greatest.
Ricky Ross is one of the biggest idiots in hip hop history. Literally
wish i wasnt broke so i could put a hit on ross’ head, along with minaj. she might give one of the greatest blowjobs but anything else idk….
She is one of the greatest..If she did porn.
“Me being a hustler” <- LMFAO dude still thinks hes a gangster
I’m laughing at anyone who takes Rick Ross’s opinion as worth anything. You should have to have some sort of musical talent in order to even be talking about Greatest of all time, RR- “being the artist I am…” Go F*** yourself rick ross.
nicki is dope. fuck what ya heard
this bitch would be lucky to be even considered a rapper, that said she wont even crack the top 1500 alive. “jay-z wouldnt be known without jaz” is a pretty out there statement too
