Nicki Minaj has taken a cue from successful companies and developed a five-year plan.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Young Money emcee has revealed that her forthcoming plans include a film career, a perfume line, a clothing line, and records having as much singing as they do rapping (much like her latest release, Pink Friday).
Minaj has already “diversified her bonds,” as she teamed up with cosmetics brand MAC to release “Pink Friday 4.”
Pink Friday, which was released last week, is projected to move over 400,000 units.
this bitch makes me laugh who she think she is RZA or sumtn no one can take over the world the way WU did for real!!! need some real hip hop
it doesn’t hurt to try. what kind of genre would we be if we didn’t grow on top of what our past generations built for us?
Actually Wu Tang only had one 1x platinum album (36 chambers) and one 2x platinum (forever 2 cd) Split that on 20 or so members. And all the solos went wood? Maybe double wood.
It’s very obvious and clear that Zeek* is not a true Wu-Tang Clan fan because if he had any fuckin’ brains he would realize that ‘Wu-Tang Forever’ went 4XPLATINUM and not 2XPlatinum you moron…and when the rest of the members separated they either went Platinum or Gold with their solo albums apart from each other…Do the math next time Zeek before you speak on the history of Wu-Tang’s success because you will get your ass chewed the fuck out if you don’t get your facts right…And Nicki just needs to shut the fuck up and do what she needs to do and stop having these silly ass announcements being made on what she plans on doing with her career because sooner or later people are gonna get tired of her and her foolish demands on what she plans to do and toss her little Barbie Doll ass straight up out the window like it’s nobody’s business…I thought you were suppose to actually go Multi-Platinum first before you start stating and demanding shit that’s gonna be done…She’s acting like ‘Pink Friday’ just did some big numbers already like The Black Eyed Peas ‘The E.N.D.’ album or some shit when her shit just came out and hasn’t even hit the Platinum or Multi-Platinum mark for that damn matter so she needs to just calm the fuck down and get a reality check because her brain is starting to blow the fuck up like a over-hyped bubble right now…This chick is starting to become full of herself…Sorry but 375,000 to 425,000 units maybe good or just simply okay for a debut album on a major label but it’s surely not a great or a good enough success to be already planning a 5-Year Industry Plan when your debut album hasn’t even hit the Multi-Platinum mark yet…This chick is acting like ‘Pink Friday’ just sold albums out the ass like Eminem’s “Recovery” or 50 Cent’s “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” or some shit… Sorry but you ain’t even close to getting to that level there just yet mama…She acting like she just made history but didn’t do a damn thing spectacular…She’s getting caught up too high into the hype already…Now if ‘Pink Friday’ went Platinum in one week then I wouldn’t be saying shit but that’s not even the case for someone stating that they want world domination yet their debut album is just barely sitting under Gold…Now Eminem and Jay will show their respect towards Nicki for being able to pull off 375,000 to 425,000 for her debut album and congratulate her on it but they are not gonna be greatly applauding it until they see more gigantic numbers come out of this ‘Pink Friday’ album within the next few months…I’ve got love for Nicki but she just needs to slightly take the damn air out of that over-hyped bubble of hers until that ‘Pink Friday’ finally does it’s justice with bringing in more big album sales…It’s way too early to feeling like you’ve won ma…Plenty of other female rappers have felt the same and done the same but where are they now ma?

First of all. 9 members. Second, The W went platinum too, Iron Flag went gold.
Now, “Destroy That” pretty much summed up the rest with both solo platinum’s and gold certifications. Not to forget all the affiliates where plenty went platinum and gold as well.
Not to mention the impact it had on other things. Own clothing brand, video game.
Fuck off, you moron.
Nicki is a smart Barbie who knows how to step her cookies up! Learn from Nicki young people and stay in school. Do not go to jail. Simply pass Go and collect brains. Don’t stop at being the best rapper, be the best mogul. Go Nicki.
no matter how much i hate her music, i gotta respect the way shes gettin paid.
dats whats up keep it up nicki!!!!!
isten I’m oldschool but Lil Kim is amazing trust me.Ncki Minaj got a longs way to go,face it Lil Kim and Foxy Brown in the 90’s changed the female rap game and both did duets with legendary MC”s ( Notorious Big and Jay Z)If Nicki and Lil Kim did battle for money,my money goes on the Queen Bee.
U r right about fox and Kim changing the game. Now u have to basically be a stripper prostitute that raps to become a female mc. Congrats to fox, kim and nicki for the positive image they provide black women…
wonder if she’ll respond to that lil kim joint
lol but she wont help u in ur life… now go support that slutty shit
she’ll die out soon! she should have tooken shots at lil kim. lil kim is a female legend in hip hop. if you’re a B.I.G. fan (RIP) then you’ll support lil kim and if you’re a soulja boy fan then you’ll support nicki minaj and whatever type of music she makes (its obviously not rap, because rappers dont use autotune or make weird voices like they’re taking a shit) but anyways im a 2Pac fan (RIP) and a B.I.G. fan and i support Lil Kim because to me when i think of females rappers she’s the first that pops right up! so yeah this bitch will die out soon! the only reason she’s selling is cuz they buy air time and well once you get a song stuck in your head you seem to start wanting to listen to it. she’ll be out the game in a year.
or you could make the argument that kim can’t sing. nickis not trying to be like kim. nicki doesn’t do gangster rap and she doesn’t try to. let her do her thing. you can’t compare them. they’re great artists for didderent reasons. kim had her time as the best female mc. now nickis bringing something different.
p.s. stop sucking Big and Pac’s dick. if they weren’t dead you wouldn’t give a fuck about them
@wilson sit your fruity ass down. Talkin’ about you can’t compare Kim and NIcki, they are both grown women nicki like 27 so she ain’t all that young and they are both hip hop artist, kim just have more experience as a rapper. The only people that’s suckn nicki strapon is a fruity type of guy or some chick that aint been raised right obviously because if you can’t see through nicki’s lame music than you need to get checked out. You heard 1 nicki song you heard them all. Sorry but the chick ain’t breaking recordS, other than hypnotizing all the idiots that support her. 2 weeks ago her buzz was dead but now that her album just came out the attention is on her. Give her another week or 2 and just like drake the spotlight will be somewhere else.
just can’t support both? dang!
@nggasitdown your not listening man. nickis music is poppy, and radio friendly. she doesn’t do gangster rap. kim does. its a completely different style. Im just saying the music shes been putting out has people listening and shes on top of the charts right now. people don’t want to hear gangster rap anymore. that era of hip hop is almost dead. it still exists to the long term fans but theres a new generation that doesn’t want to hear that anymore.
i meant she shouldn’t have taken shots at lil kim lol
i hope that in 5 years she fades away and i never have to hear her or see her again
i hear you man she is so fake
wasnt she just bodied? ive seen a burial so in 5 years her last bone shoulda b decayed lol
way 2 keep da lesbian and gay men occupied wit dat shit, nickgay minaj-a-tois. u gon need it when ur album flopz hard cuz kanye’z destroyin u rite now. no 1 will give a shit bout diz plastic bitch in 5 yearz n-e-wayz.

Ironman: gold
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx: gold
Blackout!: platinum
Zeek….go kill yaself
I actually like nicki( and I’m not gay). I like that she isn’t coming to the scene all thugged out and aggressive like kim and fox. So what if she didn’t rap with the legends. They don’t make em like they used too, she did however out rapped jay-z on monster. I heard fox and kim don’t even write their own material. I would like to see the type of artist nicki evolves too. She’s lyrical and okay at making songs. Lil wayne wasn’t that bang up a songwriter when he started but he got better. GIVE HER A FUCKING CHANCE!!!!
give her a chance to do what?
how about giving all the normal regular people out there “a chance” or whatever that is.
She’s lyrical? hmmm. kim and foxy came out in the 90’s thats wut it was back then u had to go hard to get any kind of respect. yea The game different now its alot worse Nicki is hype and propaganda just like 90% of the rap game.
She better focus on other things (“film career, a perfume line, a clothing line, and records having as much singing as they do rapping”) b-c as an EMCEE, she’s about a 3/10 at best…Go to smoking section and peep her 10 most EAR CRINGING lol comically bad lines from Pink Friday. It puts in perspective just how bad she really is 99 times out of 100
5 year plan…I would put money up that we won’t be talking about this broad 18months from now.
I’ll take that bet. How much u tryna lose?
I just heard that Monster track she did for the 1st time…she f*ckn murdered it…I got some new respect for her(even if she didn’t write it)…Pop will always be pop.
REAL TALK..THIS BITCH LOST all respect with that album..she makin five year plans..in hiphop?..u not even guaranteed a second album in the game..DRAKE IS GON GET A SECOND ALBUM..HIS ALBUM dont make you want to pull out yo fuckin ears..she think in a world as fickle as hiphop that somebody is gonna allow her to make more than one of these garbage sing(minimal skill)..and sometimes rap albums and get away with that shit multiple times..she in wonderland..the best chicks in the game ever(kim,foxy,remy) didnt get that many chances..her fanbase is young and the next hot crew/entertainer is in the studio right fuckin now..u dont make nasty shit..u dont make hood shit..yo beats are not hard..u will have no fanbase..she aint even go in for the girls who like girls(who she built her rep on)..fuc outta here..next album is gon have all “Monster verse/up all night verse/down south gucci shit she started on..or she is done..history dont lie
this bitch is weird
I wonder if Mattel will crack down on her for using barbie this and barbie that for pr.
her forthcoming plans include a film career (check), a perfume line(check, a clothing line(check),records having as much singing as they do rapping(check) and more cosmetic surgery!!
