Nicki Minaj On Lauryn Hill Comparison

Last month, Murder Inc. boss Irv Gotti compared Nicki Minaj to Lauryn Hill in an interview with VIBE. Today, CNN published Nick’s response to Irv’s proclamation. Forgive them father.

“Irv has been privy to hear things that I’ve done that the world hasn’t heard,” she says. “Based on the music I have out now, that sounds like an absurd comment, but when ‘Pink Friday’ comes out, you will completely understand why Irv made that comparison.”

  2. So Icy Boi! says:

    Pink Friday > Recovery

  3. Cudder says:

    Her whole demeanor makes that an absurd comment. Not just the music she puts out

  4. Thank Me Hater says:

    WOW B.Dot you just opened up a can of worms with this post. Comparing Nicki Minaj to Lauren Hill is like comparing brian pumper’s mixtape to jay z’s reasonable doubt.

  5. Ac@pella! says:

    We’ll see…wait, @Thank Me Hater, Brian Pumper has a mixtape??? *DEAD*

  6. Oj Da Cornball says:

    no this hoe didn’t accept the comparison?
    i don’t care what Irv heard u can’t tie LH shoes, hoe.

  7. Fuck Ya Life says:

    I guess Irv wanted to say some retarded shit to get people to talk about him, cuz there’s no way in this world that u can compare this bitch to Lauryn Hill.

  8. supppppppppp says:

    This bitch is gonna has a trick up her sleeve, wait and see. Pihnk Friday could be that classic that nobody expects

  9. Truth83 says:

    crazy, but i wonder whose gonna sell more.

    Lloyd banks or Nicki minaj both albums come out the same day.

  10. Black Shady says:

    Yawnssssssssssss

    “….Well we [still] don’t believe u.. you need more people!”

  12. HORUS says:

    WACKI NIMJA WILL CERTAINLY BEAT SHRAKE’S WEAK FIRST WEEKS NUMBERS.

    SHIT WILL BE CERTIFIED PLASTIC THO, LIKE EVERY CASH MONEY RELEASE SINCE THE CARTER III.

    DRAKE IS A FAIL, DRAKE IS A MESS, DRAKE IS A BIIIIIIIIITCH.

    ★★★

    HORUS IS THE TRUTH✔

  13. D says:

    Yo, I want that Brian Pumper mixtape. Son is ill.

  14. Thank Me Hater says:

    LMAO @Ac@pella naw I was trying to find the lowest point of comparison

  15. So Icy Boi! says:

    Thank Me Hater be listen to B.Bumper you lame nigga haha

  16. Thank Me Hater says:

    @So Icy Boi! Hell yeah that nigga got that heat!!! Real talk though…..B. Pumper >>>>>Gucci Mane lyrically

  17. MISSY says:

    nicki is wildn! LH is a legend! Ask somebody, youngin

  18. rap radar= hater heaven and Horus is an eminem dick riding white boy says:

    i’ll just have to wait to hear the album first

  19. Chargers_87 says:

    Why is CNN posting shit on nicki?

  20. Thank Me Hater says:

    But seriously the comparison was only made because she’ll be singing AND rapping on her album. It’s still a dumbass comparison because none of her written lines have been comparable to a lauryn hill freestyle. And when it comes to singing nobody can blow like Lauryn….well I’m sure Minaj can do a different kind of blowing quite well

  21. JERZZZ says:

    This bitch seems to forget her whole style is a gimmick. Comparing yourself to Lauryn Hill is Just another lame ass Cash Money Moment in hip hop history. No Nicki, You Not Nothing Like Lauryn Hill, In any way shape or form, and No Wayne, You Not Nothin Like Hov in his Prime, In any way shape or form.

  22. iam2smooth says:

    nikk is no lauryn point blank period!

    @supppppppp let’s hope so cuz the shit she’s on right now is some str8 up bullshit!

  23. Fuck Ya Life says:

    @Thank Me Hater

    Yeah I bet Lil Wayne and some other niggas knows about that blowin huh. I’m tryin to figure out who’s on Weezy’s dick harder Nicki, Drake , or Birdman.

  24. Android says:

    Oh,*breathes a sigh of relief* its just Irv Gotti. Nicki minaj IS NOT AND WILL NEVER B comparable to Lauren Hill. P.s _so icey boi u used th wrong tone on me,im ridin’ on u 4ever pussy. Nw put ur head back on gucci manes crotch.

  25. mdot says:

    Excuse me!..this nikki stuff has gone too far..there is no way in the world that comparison can even be accurate..I understand pple are real excited bout this chick..I’m not one of them..but really btwn all the half naked outfits.fake nails..make up…crazy voices..shock value lyrics..and a persona that basically surrounds her ass (is it real is it fake) leads me to one question WHO THE HELL IS SHE..lauryn hill gave us her..there was nothin fake..so by that statemnt are we suppose to expect nikki to all of a sudden male soulful acoustic music wit real culturally aware subject matter and be fully clothed? Cause that big MTV award billboard that should read NIKKI MINAJ AND A GUEST APPEARANCE BY HER ASS

  26. Haters/Stans says:

    Maybe thats why Irv Gotti hasnt been relevent since 2001.

  27. mdot says:

    *make soulful acoustic music…damn touch screen lol

  28. So Icy Boi! says:

    @ Thank Me Hater …never! if you think B.Pumper lyrical kill ya self!!! ……and Nicki Minaj verse on “My Chick Bad” > Recovery album

  29. Thank Me Hater says:

    @Haters/Stans RIGHT!!!! Is this nigga the authority on new artists now?! Who THE FUCK is Irv Gotti?!?!

  30. ARon says:

    irv gotti needs to be hospitalized after that comment. nicki minaj is a waste of air, she has a decent flow but her lyrics are horrendous and make me want to go chris benoit crazy

  31. HORUS says:

    BUT SHE BETTER THAN KIM

    BIIIIIIIIITCH!!!

    ★★★

    HORUS IS THE TRUTH✔

  32. uhm i don’t think so nicki lol you’re nice with it but still have a long way to go.

  33. Thank Me Hater says:

    @So Icy Boi! Seriously, bar for bar B.Pumper is more lyrical than Gucci AND Waka. If they battled on the mic Pumper would win. Granted it’d be the most mentally challenged rap battle ever, but Pumper would still win

  34. HORUS says:

    ^^

    SMH AT THIS FAKE HORUS! BUT THIS BIIIIIIIIITCH IS BETTER THAN AUBREY!!!

    ★★★

    HORUS IS THE TRUTH✔

  35. I Punch Babies says:

    Seriously if I ever hear a black male bumping some Nicki Minaj shit Ima run up on that nigga like he’s Young Berg

  36. SlimeTime says:

    @ I Punch Babies lol

  37. SlimeTime says:

    lol.and Irv just trying to smash…

  38. DARKAQUA says:

    WELL LIKE I SAID…AS MUCH SHINE AND EXPOSURE, CD BETTER BE NEAR MASTERPIECE STATUS. MY THING IS…IS SHE A GIMMICK OR TRUE ARTIST? I CAN’T TELL RIGHT NOW

    …BUT SHE DID SURPRISE ME WITH “YOUR LUV” VIDEO…DIDN’T SEE THAT COMIN 🙂

  39. Evelyn Turner says:

    The only possible comparison between these women would be the mental breakdown after the fame…Lauren Hill is more like Sade. Put out a “Quality” album only when you have something to say.

  40. BIG CHUMP says:

    @Thank Me Hater
    Cosign Brian pumper would demolish waka and gucci man in a battle
    B.Pumper> gucci and waka’s careers put together

    anywayz nicki minaj goood luck with that comparison, but i hope you do well with pink friday

  41. teejay says:

    Who in the blue fuck gives a shit what irv gotti thinks?

  42. kanye fan says:

    @Thank Me Hater…lmfao u rite it wuld be a down sindrome rap battle.but i dont kno bout b pumpr winnin that battle.he’ll problee beat flacka but he wont beat gucci (gucci mane is wack as hell in my opinion) but he has lil slick metaphors evry othr song from time to time.

  43. crack yo girlz jawbone says:

    NEGRO PLEASE!!!!!

    THATS LIKE SEEING A LITTLE NIGGA PLAYING POP WARNER FOOTBALL AND SAYIN.. YA KNOW WHAT.. THAT NIGGA IS BETTER THEN PEYTON MANNING.. LOL

    LAUREN HILL CRAZY AS HELL BUT HAS TWO THINGS NICKI WILL NEVER TOUCH

    1) WAS PART OF LEGENDARY HIP-HOP GROUP
    FUGEES>YOUNG MONEY

    2) A CLASSIC MULTIPLE GRAMMY WINNING ALBUM
    THE MISEDUCATION OF LAUREN HILL > THEN NICKI’S WHOLE CAREER NOW AND LATER

    TIRED OF THESE NIGGAS TRYIN TO HYPE THESE RAPPERS WAYYYYYY TO MUCH.. THEY HURTING THEY CREDIBILITY (NOT THAT IRV HAS ANY) AND THEY PUTTING UNREAL EXPECTATIONS ON THE ARTISTS.

    NOW THEY DONE SET THE BAR FOR NICKI TO BE LAUREN HILL.. SO NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES.. IF SHE DOESN’T REACH THAT LEVEL.. SHE IS GONNA BE LOOKED AT LIKE A FAILURE.

    ASK HAROLD MINER HOW EXPECTATIONS WORK OUT FOR A NIGGA.. GOOGLE IT IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE NIGGA.

    REAL TALK.

  44. mac DIESEL says:

    LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE’S BEEN SNEAKIN’ IN ON LIL WAYNE’S SECRET STASH OF SYYZZURP!!!! HA!!!! THEM TWO ARE OUT OF THEIR COTTON PICKIN’ MINDS!!!! AND THEY SAY LAURYN HILL IS CRAZY??? HA!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  45. Donn says:

    Nicki is Nicki. Lauryn is Lauryn. Fuck the comparisons. Pink Friday is stores November 23rd. Lauryn Hill in stores…oh yea. She has no album comin out.

  46. JUS SAYIN says:

    *submits this to Ed Lover*

  47. I Punch Babies says:

    @Donn What’s your point….Lauryn also has a grammy and actually HAS an album that went platinum and Nicki….oh yea. She doesn’t

  48. Thank Me Hater says:

    @JUS SAYIN HAHAHAHA Right on he can do this post justice. Also whoever made this post should be featured in the next ‘you played yourself’ section

  49. crack yo girlz jawbone says:

    DONN.. THERE YOU GO AGAIN.. NIGGA YOU LIKE A RETARDED HOOKER.. “IGNORANT PUSSY”..

    GO JOIN THE NAVY.. YOU “SEAMEN” LOVING BITCH.

  50. Midnite! says:

    @So Icy Boi!!Recovery bodies your whole dickriding catalogue homie!!!Get Shadys’ dick out of your hatin ass mouth!!Eat a Fat Dick!!Nicki is garbage!!!Def not Lauren Hill!Please stop buggin!!!!This dude really has no clue what a real M.C is!!!You should never comment on here or any other site ever again for not having a fucking clue!!!Your fucking corny!!!Gucci,Nicki,False,Wacka,your starting team is GARBAGE!!!!!

  51. Word says:

    Damn, im really starting to think Donn is gay too…just the shit you be saying, did you really just try to diss Lauryn Hill on the low? Nicki will never be Lauryn chill homeboy. I think everytime you post youi should put a disclaimer that your homosexual, so niggas know not to take you too seriously when you blurt shit like “I LOVE LADY GAGA” and “JUSTIN BIEBER IS ILL” smh

  52. Donn says:

    You know how many artist have Grammys. Wats your point. They handin them out like food stamps now. Nicki is the future. So hate all yall want but you cant stop it. Pink Friday goin platinum

  53. Haters/Stans says:

    Just to be clear, Lauryn Hill doesnt have an album coming out ONLY because she doesnt want to do one. “Miseducation” went 8x platinum and won 5 Grammys, so even if were talking commercial appeal, Nicki has absolutely nothing on Miss Hill. Except for that ass, I guess theres always that.

  54. SayAHHHHH says:

    Nicki Mina>>>>>>>>>> Lauren Hill just my honest opinion Nicki got bars for days when shes on point

  55. Fuck Ya Life says:

    lol at Nicki got bars for days.

  56. tedwai says:

    gptta be fucking kidding me nickie is like lil kim not lauren hill man fall back wat the blooody fuck man next they will be saying gucci is the next pac

  57. tedwai says:

    nickies bars are rubbish do u listen to them they are like pre school rhymes

  58. tedwai says:

    lauren hill was no gimmicks nickie is all gimmick man u cunts r dumb fucks who dat who dat….and they can’t tell the difference

  59. builtitgroundup says:

    OPINIONS OF YOU MEN WITH TITTIES AND CAMEL TOES DOESN’T CHANGE THE INEVITABLE SHE GOT A CULT OF SUPPORTERS BEHIND HER THAT WILL MAKE SURE SHE STAYS ON TOP.

  60. I Punch Babies says:

    @Donn First of all a grammy is no small feat in the musical world. I’m not saying that Nicki isn’t the future….all I’m saying is that you semi tried to diss Lauryn Hill….who’s practically a legend in her genre. Before you start saying that Nicki is definitely the future let her drop an album first. Just because mtv told you she was and Kanye signed her isn’t enough for me…sorry man

  61. ITHINKYOURLAME says:

    @crack yo girlz jawbone

    SMH NO HATE BRUH BUT THAT SHIT WAS WEAK, YOU BRINGING THE SAME SHIT TO THE TABLE LIKE HAMBURGER HELPER THURSDAYS. YEAH YOU GOT BARS, BUT THEY XANEX. *YAWN*

    —————————–

    JUST LIKE YOU HATE ON THESE RAPPERS ON THESE BLOGS WHEN YOU DECIDE TO STEP IN THE BOOTH AND SAY SOMTHIN YOU BETTER BE A GAME CHANGER STRAIGHT UP.

  62. mac DIESEL says:

    @ SayAHHHHHHHHH

    “Nicki Minaj >>>>>>>> Lauren Hill just my opinion. Nicki got bars for days when she on point”

    CAN’T BELIEVE U BELIEVE IN YA OWN BULLSHIT!!!! SAY AHHHHHH AND EAT THAT BULLSHIT U TALKIN’ ABOUT!!!! U FUCKIN’ IDIOT!!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  63. Shit, if Irv said it, it must be true says:

    Irv has been privy to hear things from Nicki Minaj that not even Nicki Minaj has heard

  64. bap2313 says:

    This has to be the most asinine comparison of all time.

  65. Fosborne says:

    That’s an insult to Ms. Hill and like comparing NaS to Drake…come on now

  66. Belize says:

    “You’ll understand why Irv made that comparison”
    What a dick-licking, fledge-herself cunt.
    That right there is a mother to Lauryn Hill and any true rapper and Hip-Hopper.
    A MOTHERFUCKING INSULT.
    Anyone who disagree is a dumbass.
    Keep fucking yourself, Onika.

  67. el grande says:

    “WELCOME TO THE HIP-POP ERA” FUCK!!!

  68. So Icy Boi! says:

    @Midnite! “its goin down basement, Friday the 13th guess who playin jason?” …> im not afraid to take a stand , everybody hold ya hand” hahaha ….Eminem should be consider as a POP star stead of rapper because Nicki metaphors better than Feminems

  69. oscar says:

    Nicki should be hanged for her arrogance in making that statement.

    What a fucking bitch.

    Lauryn Hill’s music will last a lifetime, people will listen to it in 20 years, 50 years, 100 years. She is one of the greatest.

    Nicki is a gimmick, a nobody, and the minute she starts to become less attractive, her 15 minutes is up.

  70. serpentor says:

    does irv’s opinion REALLY counts???

  71. 1083 says:

    I think Irv is back on those x pills.

  72. blazen says:

    why is this bitch gettin so much love lol? “flow tighter than a dick in the butt”??? WTF her shit is WACKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

  73. SayAHHHHH says:

    I mean Laurny hill was rapping when TV had no color aint nobody give a fuck about her now times have changed!

  74. The Truth says:

    1. Lauryn Hill is forever a Great.

    Lauryn Hill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All of Young Money with one FUCKING ALBUM.

    And whoever the fuck said Nicki Minaj is better than Eminem learn hip-hop. Eminem would shit on Nicki so bad and not have a second thought. Nicki is shit. I could beat her at a rap battle.

  75. Lay says:

    Lauryn was rhyming toe to toe with the top male lyricists in the game on one track.
    Please learn ya shit, Nicki is no comparison.
    She gets bly coz shes a chick, not because she’s a lyricist.
    AND yes I’m a woman saying that shit!

  76. blazen says:

    @ so icy boi

    “Fridat the 13 guess who playin Jason”

    “Now get off my dick, dick’s too short of a word for my dick
    Get off my antidisestablishmentarianism you prick!”

    yeah Nicki is so much more lyrical. Your a fucking faggot bitch. If i ever saw your bitch ass you would get smacked the fuck up… yeah by a white boy. You dick ridin byach!!!

  77. SilkCityP says:

    Not a chance in hell!!! The closest thing I’ve heard since Lauryn was that 1st Jazmine Sullivan single… but it was just the single. Her album was awful compared to the Miseducation…. Irv what’s wrong with your ears son!!!

  78. mrsfiasco says:

    WOW. Irv should be ashamed to compare Nicki to Lauryn. That’s beyond ridiculous. Nicki will never be anywhere near LH status, even on her best day. WOW.

  79. King Naco says:

    Nicki compared to Lauryn …. Lauryn can sign and rap…Nicki can imitate never replicate. But in the end They both make more money than my broke ass. Much love to both .

  80. No 1 eye can see all says:

    LAURYN HILL IS NOT CRAZY- she just refuses to be controlled by this whole conspiracy known as the illuminati ….Dont believe me just listen to “I Get Out “.. look @ Dave Chappelle …. 50 million dollars wasn’t worth his soul ….
