Yeah, I call that 101 pitch correct and some reverb. I'm also sure you're aware of the practice of ghosting. Nicki Minaj had people "ghost" sing on her record. It's pretty clear on the opening track of the album. "Super Bass" is another good example. When someone "ghosts" they get paid for their work, but give up the right to crediting. Nicki Minaj will get full credit in publishing. She's not a singer. That's why she doesn't do it live. Fluctuating pitch (by machine or by independent vocal manipulation) doesn't make you a singer.

Ah. I thought that you had to credit them even if it is listed as additional vocals. Well, guess I think she sucks no matter what when she is in songs.

I don't know.. Super Bass annoyed the hell out of me in the beginning but I like it better now. I don't love her guest appearances across the board and her voice is so squeaky.. but I think she's different. More power to her, that she's made it thus far.

She's got about half as much talent as Lady Gaga, which is still twice as much talent as 90% of pop stars and rappers have.

I am insanely envious of her wig collection. I like how quirky and out there she is with her style and her persona, she's sort of a guilty pleasure for me

I like her. I think she's beautiful and inventive, and I'm usually not a fan of rap (or at least not rap that gets played on the radio,) but I genuinely enjoy about half of her songs.

I don't really care about her either way. I also voted Other, though, because pie always gets my vote.

Her and Chris Brown would make a good couple.

I could care less either way, I do not really know who this individual is. I've heard their music and dislike it, the sound is terrible.

My girlfriend adores her music, so she made me put the vote as I love her, but I honestly would prefer to listen to something that doesn't rot my brain.

I wasn't terribly aware of her until Do The Creep, and because of that I love her by default. I still don't see her much, but whenever I do, I think she's pretty interesting. Love female rappers, too.

I've never heard of this person before. I don't pay attention to the television and new things these days.

I voted "who?" after Goggling Ok I've heard her songs (It rather common for me to listen to a song many times before ever bothering to check who the artist is) and the answer now is "annoying mainstream ear worm", i.e. it starts with meh kind of catchy and after being stuck in your head for the days ends with raging hate.

She seems cool, and I think she's super pretty, but don't really listen to her or know much about her.

To the original poster, how does your opinion of Nicki Minaj equate to "most female rappers RUINING the music"? Not sure why it's necessary to categorize "female" rappers as though their contributions to the scene are limited by their gender, but Nicki Minaj is a pop star above all else. She represents pop music, not hip hop, and her music is practically an after thought to her brand and image. If you want to break rap down into gendered categories and put it all in one woman's hands, try Lauryn Hill.

Um...you're thinking of Rihanna. She did those sketches. They're both Black females, but that's pretty much their only similarity. That, and Rihanna guested on Pink Friday?
She did the skit with Lonely Island about being a Creeper, which was funny...

I don't particularly like her, but I don't HATE her, mostly because I don't actually know anything by her.

It's not kind to say female rappers ruin music, women are allowed to pursue rapping just like men are.

I love Nicki, She's talented and a great entertainer. I love her music.
