Onika Maraj: The Person


Nicki Minaj has given us A LOT of herself
to the point to where she has neglected her personal life.

Nicki Minaj is tired, but as a dedicated artist she keeps going...

Couple things you might not know about her:

She's a human being...
She has feelings...
She hurts too...

Think about that when you want to leave
 malicious comments about her on social media
or you get mad when she does not respond
to your tweets or comments on Facebook.

YOU ARE NOT HER ONLY FAN!

From drama, to blackmail, 
to people trying to get
their money, to people making up 
stuff, etc, celebs go through A LOT!

Now think about this as well:

When you go through personal and family issues
you might have a few people in your business,
but what if you had the ENTIRE world in your business?

I think that would be a little tough for anyone!

Being a celebrity is NOT easy when 
so called fans expect you to 
give them your all 24/7. 

When is it going to be time for some Nicki Minaj "me" time?
When will she get to focus on her family?

You talk to your family a lot right?
You go to family events and 
functions right?
Why can't she?

Often times there are tears behind a celebrity's smile.

Pray for Onika...the person, not Nicki Minaj the celebrity.

We as the general population often times do not pray for celebrities 
as if they don't need pray. EVERYONE needs pray...

I encourage everyone to go out and buy #ThePinkPrint

It is more than just an album
It is a literal sneek peek inside of her soul.

She put her emotions in to this album.

Any true fan of Nicki Minaj would notice she 
is really hurting right now...

We are watching an evolution of Onika Tanya Maraj...

So instead of illegally uploading her album on social media and
attacking her for taking time out for herself...
You should support her for once and give her your all!

She wants babies and time to focus on them at some point, people.

Would you sacrifice your God given desire to be a parent for your career? 
Why do we ask certain 
things of celebrities that we 
ourselves are not willing to give up?

Have some compassion and give her a break
because it's only so much a person can take.

She is not weak for expressing her emotions
and  understand she does not have to share
her personal life with us. If she chooses
to than that is up to her. Appreciate
whatever she shares and never 
think that she has to do anything.


If you are truly #TeamNickiMinaj 
you will understand...

@NickiMinaj is killing the game!


I am so proud of Nicki Minaj

No I am NOT cock riding or sucking up

I am simply giving credit where it is due! 

I also respect her for staying loyal to #YoungMoney

She is also completely loyal to her CEO Lil Wayne!

Which is why I respect her in every way possible! 

Lets take at look at just a few of her accomplishments: 

She released 3 mixtapes from 2007 to 2009 when she got signed to 
Young Money Entertainment


She released Pink Friday in 2010

Then came Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in 2012 along
with The Re-Up expanded version.

Her latest release: The Pink Print was recently release 
earlier this week with hot tracks such as Anaconda, Pills and Potions, Only (With Lil Wayne, Drake and Chris Brown) and Feelin Myself ft. Beyonce.

While she was recording albums and gaining several endorsements, she was co-hosting on American Idol and Lending her voice to the animated film: Ice Age: Continental Drift

She was also THE FIRST female artist included on
MTV's Hottest MC List

I'm sure you get where I am going with this...

How many rappers in general are as active and dedicated to their 
craft like Nicki Minaj is? I don't label her a "female rapper" I refer to her
as an artist, actress, business woman and leader. 
She is someone that was given an opportunity 
and she does not take that for granted!

I thank Lil Wayne for seeing her vision and blessing us with her talent.

Kreston Kent Speaks



I got a chance to get an interview from Best Selling Author of 
The Literary Genius of Lil Wayne: 
The case for Lil Wayne to be counted among Shakespeare and Dylan.

Professor Kreston Kent studied political science 
alongside Lil Wayne at the University of Houston in the Spring of 2005.
A recipient of the Earhart Foundation Fellowship, Professor Kent has taught at the University of Virginia and Piedmont Virginia Community College, among other schools, instructing politics, philosophy, and mathematics.


Today Professor Kent gave youngmulababy.com an exclusive interview:

When did you become a fan of Lil Wayne's work?

My students were reciting lyrics from "Mr. Carter" off Tha Carter III one day in class, "Feet up like a paraplegic [juck], / paraplegic: I parallel park..." and I asked them what it was; went home; listened to "A Milli" and was hooked. The best thing about having been a Lil Wayne fan since that time is that he just gets better. He's had a couple swings-and-misses in the last seven years, but the general arc has been one of improvement and refinement of his lyricism. That's why it's so frustrating to hear people glorify "old school" Lil Wayne and then say he's washed up / sold out / no good anymore. It's fine if they have a sentimental attachment to his older work, but they shouldn't confuse that with his quality going downhill. It hasn't. Maybe they don't like his new stuff, but from the perspective of literary analysis, as I write in my book, his art has improved over time. His "multi"s, or polysyllabic rhymes, have gotten longer; his rhymes more sophisticated and varied; and his puns more frequent. 

*My response: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I tell people this all the time! Lil Wayne should not be scrutinized for his ability to evolve and have cross over appeal.* 

How did it feel to attend college with one of the world's biggest superstars?

There was definitely a buzz about campus when he was there. I wasn't into rap at the time and didn't really appreciate the significance of it until after the fact. We never actually shook hands and met or anything, but there's still time for that.


How does Lil Wayne the student differ from Lil Wayne the artist?

Lil Wayne as an artist is incredibly intellectual, and I understand him to have done very well in school. But as a public persona, Lil Wayne isn't an intellectual/academic type. That's why I call him paradoxical in my book: his public persona and his fans don't really indulge the intellectual underpinnings of his work, but it's all there; you just have to look for it. That's why I wrote the book, to help people see just how ingenious his lyrics are despite the fact that all most people hear is–what he says in "Krazy,"–"tell me something I do know: money, drugs, bitches, weed." But people overlook the fact that the song is replete with 7- and 8- syllable "multi's", incredibly sophisticated rhymes, parallel structures, puns, etc. etc. It's frustrating that rap critics and fans deify these other rappers and call Lil Wayne a joke when he's so far outdoing them with his usage of literary devices. I have challenged rap critics and aficionados I've talked to, asking them to come up with an 8+ syllable "multi" from another rapper. Lil Wayne has dozens, if not hundreds of them. No one has ever shown me another rapper with a single one. 

You're a professor at college...have you ever included any of Lil Wayne's lyrics into your teachings?

Yes! I taught an Intro. to Philosophy course the last two years where we had a Lil Wayne and Bob Dylan quote of the day that related to the readings the students had done for that class. I never failed to come up with a lyric from either artist that pertained to the philosophy we were reading. I let my students come up with their own connections to the readings and then would offer my own as well. Made for fun discussions and got us deeper into the texts.

What is your favorite Lil Wayne Song?

"Watch My Shoes" off No Ceilings. It has a twelve syllable polysyllabic rhyme and another 15 syllable pair of lines where there's parallel structure for all 15 syllables and 13/15 are identifiable rhyme types. The most lauded rappers of all time: Nas, Biggie, Pac, Jay Z, Eminem, Kool G Rap, MF Doom, Black Thought, etc. are all praised for their "multi's" that max out at 5 syllables. Wayne comes along with 8, 12, 15 and blows them out of the water. But it's not just a numbers game. As I write in the book, not only does Wayne rhyme with greater length and complexity, his rhymes add layers of meaning that are only unlocked when you make connections between the lines. 


Do you think that rappers are not respected as much as other musicians? 

As one who studied theory and composition at a music school, I can say that rappers are not generally respected in fine art music circles, but there are some classically trained music theorists who have looked at rap, for example, Martin Connor of The Composer's Corner. He does some cool stuff. What he and others have completely missed is Lil Wayne and the fact that his style wouldn't even fit into that type of analysis because it's so different from other rappers. You have to look at Wayne from the standpoint of traditional literary analysis, not from the analysis of "flow" that's done on other rappers. Although, as I write in the book, Wayne has very respectable, sometimes top notch flow, he stands head and shoulders above all other rappers in terms of his use of literary devices: length of rhyme, literary repetition, parallel structure, diversity of metaphors, length of extended metaphors, and, of course, puns. 

I've heard that there is actually a course on Beyonce at a college. Would you ever consider teaching a course based on your analysis of Lil Wayne's lyrics if you could? 

There's also a sociology course on Hip Hop at FSU. I'd love to teach a course all about Lil Wayne. It would be in an English department, though, not sociology or music. 

What's next for Professor Kreston Kent

Keeping that one close to the chest. Stay tuned. You, Tiffany, will be the first to hear! 

KK

I want to thank Professor Kent for taking time out of his busy schedule to give us this priceless interview! I look forward to more literature from him in the future!

I've done what I call Lyrics For where 
I blog fictional songs based on the way 
Young Money artists rap, 
but I in no way can mimic 
Lil Wayne's ability to mesmerize his listeners

My Respect For Drake


                               

Yea I know this song is old but it made me start having 
respect for Drake and not just labeling him as an actor 
turned rapper. He really is dope at what he does!

Even Nicki Minaj Had A Day Job!

So everyone knows Nicki Minaj worked at Red Lobster and rode the Subway to work everyday before Lil Wayne scooped her up...what is your day job while you are chasing your dreams? No seriously, I want you to think about that and stop despising your day job! While you are working at becoming this great whatever it is that you want to do with your life, you still have bills and a stomach that will growl when you are hungry. You cannot expect anyone to take care of you (and yours) and carry your load while you chase your dreams before it is producing income. 



Nicki also said she was fired from Red Lobster for giving the finger to 
a couple that tried to steal her pen she took order with...
That's why I love Nicki! lol 

Here are 5 things you may not know about Nicki the kid! 

                        

Sidenote: (literally on the side lol) I hate when 
people say Nicki didn't work for what she has...
clearly she has she even studied at the famous
 LaGuardia Highschool...give the kid some credit!
