Nicki Minaj Says Kanye West is Her Mentor

    One of the year’s highlights for Nicki Minaj has been her show stopping performance on Kanye West’s “Monster.” In fact, the cut has already earned her a Year-End Award Presented by HipHopDX for “Verse of the Year.” But it seems Kanye is much more than another artist for Nicki as she recently spoke with RWD about her relationship with West, noting he has become her mentor.

    “Well I was great friends with Amber Rose when they were dating and she hadrecommended me to him for his album and finally I guess he relented [laughs],” Minaj said of meeting West, before explaining how her “Monster” verse was created. “One day I got a call from her and she said Kanye wanted me to come down to Hawaii and record for the album. He told me I could pick what I wanted to be on. I heard the beat for ‘Monster.’ I fell in love with it and that’s how the “Monster” verse happened.”

    Their partnership did not end there. When Minaj was getting closer to releasing her own album, she said she needed Kanye West to be a part of it. 

    “When it came to me putting my album out, I was like ‘I can’t have an album without Kanye. He has to be a part of it.’ He’s become my mentor, he gives meadvice, he hits me, takes random pictures off-line and says ‘Oh this is a good picture of you.’ He’s really into fashion so he’s a good person to have a well-roundedconversation with.”

      2. Everytime somebody has a fanbase, they have to become overrated don’t they. J. Cole ain’t even had a top 40 single yet, and he’s somehow overrated. The word overrated is getting just as annoyin as the words Stan and Dick rider

    10. Bleh and Bleh to the both of them., I loved kanye’s first two albums and the single to graduations but the way everybody was and IS on his nuts about his recent music I don’t get cause I’m just not feeling it nearly as much as his older shit, but I’ve gotta throw in there tho that his Live show is Amazing, he puts on a REALLY, REALLY good live show.

    11. Today, scientist working on the Human Genome Project have said to have discovered a gene only found in caucasian girls,and it is believed to be the cause for their overzealous friendliness and spunk!Its deep yall, keep reading. Have you ever wondered why white girls are always enthusiastic,smiling, so full of life and have enough energy to put an entire football team to sleep? And did I mention, enough spunk to sleep with every fraternity boy on campus in the span of an hour? Well look no further the answer is near. Genetic scientist say the gene they have coined “Becky-Helix-2.0”, is responsible for these observations that have perplexed us all for years. So how does this gene work? Good question, they say the gene signals for the synapses in their brains to overcompensate for serotonin, much like MDMA does when you roll on a yopper. However, when the gene signals for serotonin to be released to the appropriate receptors in the brain, it attaches a neurotransmitter to its tail that has built in “ditzy dumb dumb” dopamine inhibitors that cause them to be so willing to engage in conversation and other worldly pleasures, with complete strangers. Scientist say, this is why GHB or more commonly known as the “Date Rape Drug”, only works on Caucasian Girls. Deep huh? More on these findings coming soon…….It’s deep yall!!
