Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
Well, at least somebody said it. After hearing Nicki Minaj’s new record “Starships“, Hot 97′s Peter Rosenberg called the track “one of the most sellout songs in hip-hop history”. Hard to argue with that. Nicki’s been on a hardcore decline since that fake Lil’ Kim poster.

I AGREE 100000%
nicki aint have any lyrics since monster, when kanye wrote her lyrics.
WTF WAS SHE THINKING
She just wants money, she realised niggers dont buy music and she is going for the whites. I dont blame her but I dont like any of her new shit at all.
She’s trying to go pop cuz pop is selling.I never thought she was that dope.i thought she looked and sounded better at first.She could have least stayed hip hop until album 3.Too soon too soon and she can’t like this new music,but she’s getting paid.Glad the word sell out still exists thought ppl forgot there was a term called selling out
Redman and Loch smoking out.Collab coming soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zQpkq3fH_s
[...] Read the rest of this great post here [...]
Why is everybody so offended that she made a pop record? Young Money ALWAYS said nicki is a pop star who happens to rap. Nicki has always had the goal Of being a pop star. Hip hop acts like its feelings are hurt now that she is taking off even further. If making catchy songs and millions of dollars and making more fans means selling out then good for her. Everybody needs to stop bitching acting like nicki Hurt them personally. No I’m not a giant nicki fan, I like her raps and I don’t buy her music. Rosenberg is a dick for sayIng anything. Grow up hip hop and stop crying.
Ps nobody here is targeting the Japanese market so fuck off out of your mothers basement and kill yourself
NICKI AINT EVER BEEN GOOD I HOPE SHE DOES LEAVE HIP HOP ALONE… SHES SAID ALL THE BEST SHIT SHE COULD THINK OF LYRICALLY NOW SHES BEEN LEFT TO MAKE TRASH POP DANCE SONGS
She is a successful artist though….I wanna see y’all guys call JAY-Z a sell out,Oh that’s right y’all niggas SCARED lol
Kim got this on repeat lmao
#BINGO
SELLOUT
Her career is resumed to Monster, she can thank kanye. Who can disagree? And her camp be dissing the Throne.. Jokes on Jokes on Jokes..
U guys wait till the GRAMMY’s to realize that she’s super overrated…
smh
shes in a different point of her life…she cant go back anymore…shes successful..!!!
her pop fans buy her albums not her hiphop fans..
Haha exactly so jay-z a sellout? He’s put albums out that weren’t that great but got him some money in his pocket, haha this just gives nicki more attention and shell sell more, damn, she’s doin a great job
she went on tour with britner spears…shes on a different lane now..let it go..move on
Hahahahahah @ The Mothership
I knew somebody was gonna snap eventually off that “Japanese market” nigga
@young skate god umm when did Jay sellout ? not one album #shutupyousoundstupid
nicki IS a successful artist but she needs to realize she can be versatile without alienating the fan base that got her there in the first place. im not saying she didnt work hella hard to get there and she has the right to make diverse crossover records, but dont starve the community that made those pop listeners ask who you are. #thehood gave her her first numbers, not the burbs
no one said anything when wayne did rebirth, smh just looking for someone to bring down. hip hop is just one big soap opera and yall are all puppets.why cant you just be happy for her, lame ass virgin nerds
@youngskategod and @realshit Some ppl do call Jay a sell out,but i don’t because Jay never goes to far left into the pop sound.Jay always keeps that hip hop edge and his worse songs are still more lyrically advanced than 99% of rappers ever born.Nikki isn’t anywhere near Jay’s skill level and the shit sh’e doing is wack.That pop bullshit is not our culture.Hip hop has a history and a culture.Jay would never make no trash like starship at his most mainstream attempt.Nikki is making lady gaga muisc not hip hop.I’m happy she’s rich,but she’s burning herself out and spreading herself too thin.Bottomline that shit is waaaaaack.Nikki needs to go back to her NY Roots

@traw nobody said shit about rebirth cuz nobody heard it I know.prom Queen and Fire and the Em song was all I heard.I thought that was a horrible idea from the jump.
cosign @loch121
Exactly , Wayne can sell his ass off all he wants but the critics pan you after those first week sales come in what does that say about the replay value of your music. you can bump watch the throe years from now and feel the magic and pretty much anybpody can namee the tracklist . cant say that for carter4
“Nicki’s been on a decline ever since that fake Lil’ Kim poster.”
Isnt this the same site that had “Pink Friday” as #8 on their 2010 top 10 albums list? Inconsistent ass site.
Jean Grae >
nicki still has time to decide the direction she wants to head in……. she can listen to these critiques or not……… the music so far isnt like what she had before. its further pop and further “weird hip hop” records……. what i liked in her music the 1st time i havent heard in these new songs, but maybe she’ll bust out with something.
I hope she doesn’t turn back, make money bitch opportunity knocks once in a lifetime.. Now you headlining super bawl, NBA, Grammies and shit! Then why switch to hip hop? To please trolls online.. Nahh
IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME SOMEONE SPOKE OUT AN FUCK RAPRADAR YOU BITCHES POST HER GARBAGE
This game is all about Money, Fame and Power. Nicki was a headline at the Super Bawl with Madonna, Grammy s, Britney Tour, NBA.. and shit. Why give a fuck. If i was her i will also say fuck these hip hop trolls, and get money. Same with LIl Wayne, make that money.. im black and i know the challenges of trying to make it out of the hood.
lmaoo I agree but this nigga is workin for the most sell-out hip hop station in NYC tho
@Uh-Oh Ummm, did you say 2010? So they made that list a year ago. A lot changes in a year buddy. Hard to believe, I know.
But yeah, Nicki DEFINITLEY throwing her core fanbase out the window.
YESS!!! Finally a sure sign that her 15 minutes are finally coming to an end. Peter Rosenberg is the new king.
There’s a difference between making commercial-friendly hip hop (i.e. – Lupe Fiasco – The Show Goes On) which ends up high on the charts and sell million and making straight pop music like Flo Rida. OR if you’re truly in the elite class of hip hop you can make a record like Niggas In Paris and carve out a separate lane all together and get the best of both worlds…money and respect.
But what did ya’ll expect from someone who said she’s really an actress and performer more than an artist. That alone should of disqualified her from any real hip hop discussion from the jump
So she’s a sellout because she’s been doing a few pop songs ? That makes no sense at all she’s a MUSICAL ARTIST which means she isn’t going to stick to one genre of music … That may work for Jay, Kanye & Em but she’s a female she has to show that she’s capable of more than just rap … If anyone knew anything she sang before she started to rap so this isn’t something unexpected … All she’s doing is broadening her fan base … Just because its a couple of songs doesn’t mean this is all she’s going to be doing from now on … I like the track I like what she’s trying to accomplish with her vocals and I respect her for not giving a f**k about what haters think about what she’s doing …
Wait, you idiots. Why you complaining? THIS IS WHAT WE WANT, HER OUR OF HIP HOP.
KEEP DOING YOU NICKI, LONG AS WE DON’T HAVE TO CLAIM YOU AS ONE OF US(HIPHOP).
She’s a walking embarrassment. Talentless piece of trash.
haha you dumb niggas can keep defending Nicki then bitch about the lack of “real hip hop”. pick a side faggots! nicki isnt hip hop and cant rap a lick. talentless hack ass bitch.
and for those making excuses, “she in a different place” blah
Chic only drop one album and switch. most people who went this route (though never a Katy Perry song, except Flo Rida) after a couple actually hip hop album.
Thank God someone finally said this. It seems like the main point in her game plan is be seen, not heard because with all her get-ups, she’s definitely seen; but her music… pretty bad. But I admit to being bias. I find he voice rather annoying so I automatically tune out the moment she opens her mouth.
[...] Props RR [...]
LOL.. Oj Da Cornball… true though…
Uggh… I just dont care anymore…
She’ll probably drop a lyrical heater & all is forgiven by the urban media.
At least I hope for her sake… if not we’re just watching the titanic sink.
LOL Nicki has been making songs like “starships”since she got big. She’s a pop artist who may have a couple of good raps once in a while (like on “Monsters”). Did yall listen to Pink Friday? It is what it is.
co-signs!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahahaah pop queen xhe is confused and will soon self distroy sooooooooooooooooooooooooon
to say she’s been on decline since that “fake Kim poster” couldnt be any further from the truth…
she was a NOBODY when we 1st saw that pic ( i thought it was just sum video hoe) neway..she turned into a pop star., hits, a platinum record, Ellen etc. unfortunately she’s a classic victim of a sophomore chasing 1st album massive success. Instead of creating something new
Yeah shes the female Weezy alright. This sounds like a Wiz Khalifa track. SMFH at bullshit rap music today.
The track really isn’t too bad for a pop track. This just isn’t hip hop.
What’s wrong with you people…. in the words of Jay-z “Men Lie, Women Lie, but numbers Don’t.”
HIP HOP AIN’T SELLING???? WHEN ARE YOU FOLKS going TO WAKE UP! And DRAKE and WANYE don’t count!
anyone check out the music C BREEZY is putting out? Electronic/ Dance is the new Hip Hop PERIOD!
in five years Rick Ross will be Elevator Music…. Old ASSES trying to be young… SMH
