Is Nicki Minaj a Sped Up Jay-Z?

Published by Toronto Mike on February 6, 2012 @ 14:09 in Music

music I watched the Super Bowl half-time show yesterday. I was underwhelmed by yet more lip syncing by an artist I actually liked when I was ten. Flanking her for part of the show was Nicki Minaj, who grimaces too much for the camera, and M.I.A. who flipped us all the bird. We deserved it.

I was reading earlier today someone's theory that Nicki Minaj is actually a sped up Jay-Z. I'd link to the source, but I can't seem to find it now. I did find, however, this slowed down version of Nicki Minaj's Super Bass.

And, if you're still interested, there's this sped up version of Kanye West and Jay-Z's Niggas in Paris.

I think Nicki Minaj slowed down does sound a little like Jay-Z, but I don't think Jay-Z sped up sounds like Nicki Minaj. Either way, if you're going to throw a rapper in the mix, I'll take Kanye West or Eminem, please.

Nicki Minaj sounds like a robot-alien. I don't understand why people like her.

While I do understand why they lip-synch most of the Superbowls, there was absolutely no reason for this shit from a "rapper".

I guess if you invite a rapper, don't expect anything classy to happen.

''We deserved it.''

Indeed, if for no other reason than putting up with an overproduced show lacking in talent from an old lady that nearly fell over twice.

I think you're jealous. She is one of the few remaining pop stars with talent. She almost fell over a couple of times because she's in her 50's now and still going strong (and looking fantastic). She stumbled a couple times. So what.

MIA will last a few years and be gone.

The show, btw was produced by a Quebec company that usually does the Cirque shows. I thought it was really well done.

That second anon (comment 3) was me, my bad.

Cambo: Does she have talent? Maybe, but trying to perform a routine that she is physically incapable of doing (i.e. falling over, having to be held to do a tumble etc..)without help, is not a good argument in favour of said talent.

I would also suggest that if she was as talented as you claim, there would have been no lip-syncing.

Jealous? What, are you five?

MIA - she's missing on my playlists. Anyway she, Nikki Minaj and others are just another example of today's degenerate youth. Some of you may want to criticize Madonna, but she is the original others such as Lady Gag imitate. Yes she may be a little older now, but she's still got it. Just because one is over 50 doesn't mean they have to shrivel up and disappear. Okay Jagger may be shriveled, but at least he hasn't totally disappeared! Go Madonna, go Betty White.

I was inspired by theory that Nicki Minaj is actually Jay-Z ''sped up''. That's why I made this video to amplify this theory. Hope you like it. ^^
