Nicki Minaj scored three nominations for this year’s Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance (“Moment 4 Life” 
featuring Drake) and Best Rap Album (Pink Friday). In a recent interview with Pandora, the Harajuku Barbie said that she doesn’t necessarily think she’s going to win, but that she’s just going to celebrate the moment.
“When I was at the Grammys last year, it was like I didn’t even exist. And then to now be performing and nominated, it’s a big deal. I’m not going to be nervous about winning because I really don’t think I’m going to win anything,” she said. “The way I look at it is, I know eventually, in my career, I’m going to have Grammys. This year is just about being nominated and feeling grateful, feeling like my fans and I have come a very long way and we’re just going to celebrate this moment. Nothing else matters – winning, not winning, it doesn’t matter. It just matters that they get to see a girl from the hood take these steps and continue to take these steps, just with hard work.”
The Young Money rapstress, who is also performing at this year’s ceremony, acknowledged that up-and-coming artists don’t tend to realize how much hard work goes into becoming a star and getting Grammy nods, but that she’s earned what she’s gotten.
“At the end of the day, everyone wants to be recognized and everyone wants to at least feel like you recognize that this is hard work. People think that they can become an artist overnight. People think that a cute face or a nice car makes them a rapper. But a musician is so much more than that. But in terms of me and my career, the Grammys is everything. It’s the only thing to a music artist. It’s what you live for. This is what you work for.”

Nicki Minaj hasn’t contributed a thing to music in general, that’s why it’s a big deal to her…
True as hell
YM WE RUN THE GAME!!
5 LETTERS: YMCMB
fag
LOL he finally changed it from 4 LETTERS
dumbass
“use a cute face” – bitch you used your ass and tits to become famous, don’t even fucking lie. and the grammys dont mean shit to an actual artist making music THEY want to hear. what a fucking tool.
I’d lick the slime from under her titties. Then wash my mouth out with the ooze from her cooch.
I’d use the same titty slime as a soft lubricant for fucking her asshole after a trip from the toilet. The resulting mix of fecal matter and titty slime will serve as my lotion for the following handjob.
Nicki is da female 2pac. respect her. swag
nah yo shes the black tribe called quest
i think she rhymes like andre 3000
shes more like an islander female Slick Rick without an eye patch
Nah Icy Boi you’re the female Tupac, hypocrite..
No Way! I think she is the black wierd al yankovic! she is a joke you know
Despite being hip-hop’s most biggest gimmick and pretty much all-around fake, Nicki Minaj does have some talent. I think she can sing better than Drake(Drake uses vocal technology to help him out) and she’s not a bad rapper, WHEN IT’S A HIP-HOP SONG and not a hip-pop song like Super Bass,stupid hoe or those other dumb songs she makes..She showed talent on Monster, Romans Revenge, Bottoms up and Moment4life. She has bars but her whole gimmick persona and fakeness jus takes away from it all.
Well of course it’s a big deal. Let’s break it down, kids:
MBDTF >>>>>>>>>>>> Pink Friday
WTT >>>>>>>>>>>>> Pink Friday
Lasers >>>>>>>>>>> Pink Friday
C4 = Pink Friday
Anything else >>>>>>> Pink Friday
Lil B’s I’m Gay >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pink Friday
I’d doubt I’d win too if it was for this album
you know she’s probably going to win, it’s like the grammy’s are up here ass, she’s appearing in promos and they were excited to announce her as the first performer. I already know this is going to be bullshit. MBDTF should def. win best rap album, if it doesn’t, WTT would be my second pick but I doubt their going to, their going to give it to fucking Pink Friday.
nobody cares about the wishy washy racist grammy’s
WATCH THE THRONE,. MBDTF , COLE WORLD. ONLY HIP HOP ALBUMS THAT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED
I’d like to see either MBDTF or WTT to win the best rap album, since they’re the more superior albums on the list. Lasers was a below average album for Lupe’s standards, and C4 and Pink Friday are both garbage. If C4 or Pink Friday win, then it further proves the point that the Recording Academy doesn’t know shit.
damn none of those albums deserve a grammy imo, well, maybe MBDTF but that’s pushing it
“I know eventually, in my career, Im going to have Grammys.”
Sadly we know this is true.
look at those tits
Stop The Hate and Gender Discrimination , Truthfully Pink Friday Is a GREAT Album From a Versatile Artist … It Is Not Better Than WTT or MBDTF , But It Is Better Than The Carter 4 All This Hate Is Ridiculous She Has Talent , She Out Spits Dudes and Has a Good Singing Voice … Congrats Nicki Minaj On a Platinum+ Album and Grammy Nods You Have Came A Long Way
I’ll admit that Nicki is a good rapper, but she’s an average rapper and she’s not a good singer. Pink Friday was a pop/R&B album with some rapping. Besides, there’s other female emcees that can out-rap Nicki (Salt N Pepa, MC Lyte, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Jean Grae, Lil Kim, etc.)
dam as much as i hate her music this chick still turns me the fuck on
