Much fuss has been made over this little mixtape from the rapping vixen, Nicki Minaj. Signed by Young Money (and therefore cosigned by Lil Wayne), managed by Debra Antney and therefore regularly featured with Gucci Mane, Nicki has come out swinging ‘bows in this male-dominated rap game. Her best tracks are her solo songs, like “Itty Bitty Piggy” and the introspective “Can Anybody Hear Me,” where she goes in on the stereotypical treatment of female emcees. With a flow similar to Wayne’s and style reminiscent of Missy Elliot, Nicki nevertheless remains original in scope, and it’s much appreciated. –rogue marie
