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.
In case you haven’t heard, Nicki Minaj is now a judge on American Idol. During the NYC auditions on Sunday, she spoke to MTV about joining reality television’s Supreme Court. Yours truly (along with Karen Civil) also discussed what her move means to hip-hop.
Miller doesn’t expect to see rap opening singing competitions’ flood gates all of a sudden. However, he believes that artists like Nicki have already achieved a fair amount of pop success, and that’s why she is attractive to “Idol.” Not only does Minaj rap, but she sings, dances, sells cosmetics and has even done voiceover work in “Ice Age 4;” her crossover success makes her a clear representative to the mainstream audience.
“I don’t think Nas would ever get $8 million for judging someone in a hip-hop competition, you have to be a pop star to acquire that kind of money,” he said. “If you’re not in a pop lane, you’re never going to ever get this kind of exposure or these kind of crossover looks.”

YO B.DOT – RAP IS NOT POP/IF YOU CALLIN THAT/THEN STOP!
soo shawty crossed over (sell out) for the money??? who is she to say if you’re not pop, you wont get any pop exposure, look at Jay, Ye, 50, Wayne (before he picked up a guitar)….I think 50 is the only guy with that type of exposure who hasnt sold out. I bet you that quote will be used against her
y hate on another black man/ woman success just the nigger mentality to hold people back and see them flop get over it be happy and just dot listen to them and keep it moving oh yea you cant cuzz they play it at the pop clubs you go to and the pop stations on your radio…..
She was built (literally) for the cross-over. Hip-Pop will win every time, teams of old white men ensure raw talent is watered down to the point of cultural saturation. If a soccer mom knows your song, it’s mission accomplished. No hate but no respect either. Say something or say nothing.

Come on stop it-this means absolutely NOTHING for Hip-Hop. I know-I know y’all didn’t say that. But, I feel like the gatekeepers of this rap thing is more groupies than actually practicing journalism. You guys lack of objectivity. end of story. No shots/disrespect at YOU, personally B. Dot. Just want some real journalism from ALL the gatekeepers. Ask REAL questions. That’s all. No beef.

With that said, A Nas fan could care less about her addition. How about do some research? See what A.I’s rating before the FIRST show begin then follow it with the ratings after fact. Here’s what RR going to end up doing: showing a clip EVERY single week of her running mouth on the show.

Um, I was being interviewed.
@ JustMyOpinion
THOSE SHOTS AT B.DOT WERE JUSTIFIED!!!! HE’S PART OF THE SHEEP!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
NICKI MINAJ IS NOT HIP HOP, STOP POSTING HER SHIT ON HERE. ESPECIALLY IF IT’S AMERICAN IDOL RELATED. thank you, and have a nice day.
even these “journalists” have to play a part. Don’t forget blog sponsors people. The dollar rules haha
@ B. Bot. Na I was being general, hence gatekeepers.

More so, you could’ve said “well, I don’t know too many HIP-HOP (emphasis) paying attention to this right here, not to take away from Nicki’s move.” NO one in the barbershop is bringing this up.
Yeah, they are. theres 8 million reasons to bring it up
B.Dot you got people thinking Nicki is the person quoted in that excerpt.
oy vey. maybe ur right
some people have integrity, and no amount of money can change that.
basically…..you have to sell out to make money. bingo
Nicki and Mariah ehh… bad combination
Mariah’s face is saying “uhhhh THIS BITCH…..here we go with THIS SHIT now”
Niki has an annoying voice doe I wonder if the Executives on idol ever heard her rachete ass lyrics besides them pop songs
