ok ok i know I’m super late with this review but I really wanted to find the right words for this. And I can honestly say that I am so proud to watch this documentary of Nicki. NICKI MINAJ; MY TIME NOW aired on MTV on Nov. 28th I think what I enjoyed most was the honesty of it all. It wasn’t to much of a tear jerker, and wasn’t all about her ego either. The program followed the Young Money diva through her VMA appearances, her album making process and most importantly her return to home of Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago to perform for thousands of fans! in my opinion this is the closest the world will ever get to seeing the real Nicki!
I loved the documentation of her family, i mean it was little bit awkward to see just how much she spent on her family and the amount of cash that she carried, but hey who am I to judge… it was real. A lot of celebs say “I want to do better for my family”….”I don’t want my family to have to struggle anymore” And I think seeing her with not just her mother and brother, but with cousins as well added to her reality.
beyond that it was nice to see a soft side to the force that is Nicki Minaj. When she was talking about not seeing her mother for 2 years, when her mother first came to the states, you can tell this is not a joke, there is some real emotion.
“A lot of times, when you’re from the islands, your parents leave and then send for you because it’s easier when they have established themselves; when they have a place to stay, when they have a job. I thought it was gonna be for a few days, it turned into two years without my mother,” she says of living with relatives.
But ya’ll what got me was when she was asked about her grandmother, the tears….omg! and what made that moment truly real was how much she tried her best to not cry. beyond not wanting to mess up her make-up lol, that emotion…that love that she still holds for her grandmother, your heart goes out to her.
But Imma keep it 100 with ya’ll, as much as people want to call her a biter, or hate on her…you gotta give props where props are due! The amount of publicity she is getting, some celebs don’t get until a few years into their career. sooooo yea! beyond the look out for it because you know MTV replays everything like a million times!

Ms. Nicki Minaj celebrated her barbie inspired birthday themed start studded event at TAO. She rang in her 26th birthday in style with 2 cakes, of course ace of spades flowin. Boss man Wayne was in the buildin (no alcohol of course) and most of the young money crew come out to show love. She had her girls by her side and she was lookin ALL THE WAY fly…what more could a girl ask for!!! I wish i could’ve been there but for now I’ll just admire.

So I know everyone done heard Lil Kim’s new joint Black Friday. Clearly it’s a come back to Nicki Minaj’s Roman’s Revenge. No the interesting thing here is that there is a lot of back and forth between the two but i feel like they could be much more forceful if the actually did a track together.
Now my opinion on this Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj thing, i can’t say who is better because both women are very much the same but just different time periods. I think Nicki is definitely 10 times more vicious than Kim. You gotta give the girl her props she has a lot of balls. I think this new millennium Lil Kim fell off. I think the 1990′s Lil Kim would’ve taken Nicki and been mopped the floor with her. Nicki in a way is this generation’s lil kim, Back in the day Kim stood her ground among a male dominated industry, I think Lil Kim got comfortable, and now is tryin to fight her way back…idk. Kim’s black friday though she went hard! i mean she laid her ish down…but it was predictable. Like it was expected, obviously you’re going to claim that you were the original, you were the first, and you think she’s a biter….ok now what?
So the question is this…NICKI OR LIL KIM?!?! as for me…i gotta go with Nicki

so word on the street is the much anticipated album ‘PINK FRIDAY’ has been moved one day from Nov. 23rd to Nov. 22nd. now for all Nicki Fans this could be quite exciting. However she’s definitely in a battle for record sales! Cause not only is she droppin her 1st album its the same day that Kanye West drops My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy, Akon drops Stadium, Jay-Z drops The Hits Collection, Vol. 1 and Ne-Yo drops Libra Scale.
So which one will you buy!
