Press Conference

Let's shift gears for a minute And talk about New York City i actually get in Arguments because people say Nicki doesn't rep New York i say "What do you Mean? She shouts it out all of the time" Y'all don't want me to rep Y'all y'all don't hear when I rep y'all cause y'all Be dick-riding everybody else She does have a point do you feel you Get the proper love from New York? Hell fucking no And I never understood that because You ran the same Circuit's of all these other Rappers you did the DVDs you did the mixtapes you Came up on mixtapes Like every other underground rapper In New York I was selling my mixtape out Of my mutherfucking BMW out On Jamaica mutherfucking Avenue to Amadu and Hussaine and These niggas fuck you niggas! You Niggas don't know the Fucking half of what I've Fucking been through! Well, Sir Isaac Newton said the law of energy Is, "Energy is not lost or destroyed It is merely transferred from on Party to the next" You got A miserable bitch on a Blog who writes something negative about You, you read it, and now you're miserable Absolutely right absolutely What you think about the blogs, Scaff Beezy? Honestly, the blogs could just suck my Damn cock, balls, deepthroat, gag, and choke So, Miss Nicki Minaj What do you say to people that say You're trying to be something that you're Not like Lady Gaga or Madonna and You're doing things for shock value? Well, I mean, I don't know in a minute If I fucking sit down and piss They're going to tell me I can't do That cause another bitch did it Stupid ass bitches! Yo Niggas just want to compare her to somebody Everybody! If they ever see me Sitting down and peeing They're gonna fucking stone me They're gonna say, "You're trying to be Like Barack's wife look at her She's sitting down and peeing like that You trying to be like Michelle" "Why you sitting down and peeing Nicki?" "Why don't you stand up?" That happens to everybody, though It does No, Nicki gets it so hard - pause! Hospital flow, need more gauze I think when they don't understand Something they gotta compare It to something to make Themselves feel comfortable Absolutely, I always say that for Their minds to interpret it, they have to Draw a comparison and I always say Even though it's very common, it's just a More simple-minded approach as opposed To looking at Every situation as if it's the first Time it is what it is but Even she gets compared to Madonna And it's a never-ending cycle but I Rather you compare me to Someone that is winning and that's Won than compare me to Someone that is washed that's A natural emotion Though it's easy for a loser To be jealous of a winner that's Just the way that it is Do you ever look back at Some of your performances and Look at your costumes and your wigs and say "I did look like a damn fool?" Yes! Yes, I do yes, I do Do you ever think that? Sometimes every now and then you know What I like about superstars? I like my superstars to be out there jump out The window! Be like Prince with Your ass out i may See it and say, "Damn, she looks like a fool " but you're a superstar That's how I want to see my superstars i Don't want to see my superstars regular I keep saying this: I went to School for theater i took Four years of my life and Devoted it to theater I did that because my passion was Acting when I started rapping, i Felt like I couldn't really be Myself when I started winning I started feeling that I can be Myself i can do my Accents, I can do my voices I can do my faces, i can do costumes I can now bring me to who, you know People see as Nicki Minaj i can Now really bring me into It and I think that's Where the confusion lies, is That people thought that when I first came out, that that was me in my Entirety but that wasn't That was a small facet of who I was But, who you see now is just a more Multi-faceted mixture of all the Personalities that I Have in me i mean and I think that If I was to not show that Then I wouldn't be doing justice to all The people that feel like I do cause for Every person who doesn't understand it is There is a person who feels like me Who feels like sometimes I just Break out in an English Accent, you know, like What's wrong with that? You can! Why not? Do you think that mixtape Nicki and pop Nicki can exist in the same space? They already are they're Already existing together And they are both winning Who do you feel that you lean towards more? I can't choose i can't pick i feel like The world makes them two different people But in my mind they're the same person That's what I keep saying i grew up in New York my whole life i would Go to the block and hang out with My home girls on the weekend And then Monday through Friday I was Having a nine-to-five on Wall Street When I was an office manager I Wasn't having the same conversation In the office that I was having on the block But I was still the same person I was Onika but I knew how to Switch it up and have an Intelligent conversation with one Group of people Get a job, ace the interview And then go home with my Home girls and have fun It seems like you're very versatile if It's one thing that I would Love for little girls to embrace from Nicki Minaj is the fact That she is versatile she knows how To kick it in the streets And she knows how to kick It in the corporate setting Right, because you can't do too much Of either you really can't It's unfortunate that at times Hip hop culture will Tell you to lean only to one side When that is detrimental for Your future it's detrimental For your growth it's detrimental To your longevity At a certain point as a woman I'm not talking about as a man Because we've seen The Blueprint With Jay we've seen that you could come in The game and do 10, 12 15 – still win and still be the King of hip hop we have not Seen that with a woman so Show me the blueprint that's all I want you To do - show me the blueprint I think you are creating it because Queen Latifah doesn't exist in That space anymore she went on To become an actress And is someone who I tip My hat to because Queen Latifah looked at it and Said, "Okay, wait, hmm I may not want to be 40 years old Rapping the hip hop fans may not Want to hear me when I'm 40 years old rapping So I'm going to move in a way So that every aspect of who I am can Be seen" Queen Latifah does musicals, movies Voice-overs for cartoons - is she a Sellout or is she winning? She's winning! So these other bitches that only Did rap and now They're washed, and they're living In, you know Low income housing - is that winning? Just So that a nigga in the street Can give me a fucking dap? The same niggas that didn't buy My album any fucking way That downloaded the shit? Get the Fuck out of here! When it's all said and done Are you going to want to Have kids? Get married? Oh my goodness, i have to! I have to! Yep I'm gonna get married and Have kids i love children i Am obsessed with children And yeah, I believe in marriage, and I believe marriage is forever so That's the other thing "Look in my eyes, look in my eyes Know that we'll always be forever Moment in time, moment in time" Safaree safaree Do you have any regrets? Cause you've had a Relatively short career this is The second album And hopefully we can ten more of These but do you have Any regrets in this short time That you've been Nicki Minaj? I think my only regret would be not enjoying Every single moment when I could have How can the author of "I wish I could enjoy this moment For life" not be here trying To enjoy every moment? Absolutely and that's the thing it Kinda just comes so quickly Pause! And then all of a sudden it's like "Wait a minute i just did Super Bowl i just did Super Bowl With Madonna and before I go Into the Super Bowl stage I'm just stressing and worrying and then When I come off it's all done and what I did I even enjoy about it? Not even that, you closed up the Grammy's But that's why, cause she's Doing the Super B
