Two things:
D) There's not really any discussion of Minaj's style/fashion choices in this article. Her emergence is based upon these factors as much as her sound. One influences the other.
And #6) The direction things are going through her (and others) is borderline good-speak. I'm not saying that's bad, necessarily. But I'd love to see the wordy undergrounds' response to her. Is there a female UG rapper right now? Get to work, Emma.
