Well, I’ve gotten the site completely updated. The Nicki section is now full of sections, including the Lyrics archive, which features lyrics from all of her mixtapes, including the latest Beam Me Up Scotty. So be sure to check those out! More media will be added including some audio, as well as some other graphics. In the meantime, if you have a website, I’ve added the sections to the web domain area for you to apply to be our affiliates. I’ve already added several great sites, so please feel free to drop me a line! Thanks for your continued support here and continue to return! I’ll be launching the photo gallery & message board in the near future.

Nicki has posted on her Myspace & Twitter account that she will be in Greensboro NC tomorrow and Sunday in Virginia Beach, VA. So if you live in either places be sure to check her out! More information will be posted once I receive it!

Can’t wait to hear this new song! For more information on this upcoming album, go here. I posted this update a while back.

She got a big ego… but with a co-sign from Lil Wayne, wouldn’t you? Nicki Minaj may be a NewBee, but she’s carries herself like a seasoned pro. Don’t let the overt sexuality and cheeky style (pun intended) fool you. Yeah, we’ve seen it before from female hip hop acts (We see you, Kimmy!), but this time it’s for the ladies. No pause necessary.

Honey: You’re definitely one of those artists who had a crazy Internet buzz before being signed. How did you go about getting started in the business and getting that buzz going for yourself?
People pressured me to start a MySpace page. I was anti-Internet, [but] eventually I just said, ‘I’ll do it.’ Fendi saw me and he started covering me on [his DVD series, "The Come Up DVD"]. Lil Wayne saw it and he wanted me to be a part of Young Money Entertainment. I don’t know why I have the Internet buzz. Maybe it has something to do with some of my interviews. We’re trying to take that buzz and gear it towards the music. In a couple of days, my mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty, is going to be out. That’ll cause the music to catch up with the Internet buzz.

I know some of the promo photos, like the photo you did with the infamous pose from Lil Kim’s debut album, were really popular. Was this a strategy just to shock the world?
I wouldn’t do a pose like that again but I’m happy I did it. If I did it before Kim, then it would just be a raunchy photo. But when you duplicate something that a hip-hop icon has done, it’s saying, ‘I’m here now and I’m going to be somebody.’ We definitely did it to get the attention. I always have something to back it up. I’m not just about a sexy pose. I’m working hard on music and people are going to be shocked when they hear the new album.

So how would you describe your look now?
One of the big pictures we did was Wonder Woman. I do feel like I’m a hip-hop heroine, like I’m straight out of a comic book. We’re going do things that show Nicki Minaj is here to save the day. I can’t really say that I’m only going to run with one look because my whole image is about being every girl. I’m a Harajuku Barbie. I’m a ninja and I’m a boss. They are all so different but they’re still all Nicki Minaj. I just know that we won’t go overtly sexy anymore.

You said there are a lot of female rappers out there. What’s your point of difference?
I’m not a female rapper. I’m just an entertainer. The problem with female rappers is they allow themselves to be boxed in. I’m not allowing the industry to box me in. It’s a big reason why you haven’t seen Nicki Minaj on MTV or BET yet. I’m making my own terms. A lot of record companies are like, ‘Why is she rapping and singing? Is she the bad girl or she the good girl?’ The thing that separates Nicki Minaj from the other girls is that I have to do what I want to do and that’s the only way I feel free. If you ever go to a Nicki Minaj show, you’ll see girls screaming like how they screamed for Cyndi Lauper back in that day. We’re setting trends. This is about a new culture of girls and I’m spearheading that movement. It’s about excitement. It’s about being smart, but being sexy. It’s all those things that girls want do, but sometimes we feel like we have to do one or the other.

That’s right! If you have a Twitter account, be sure to add “The Mistress” as she has finally joined to shut down all of the fakes! You can find her at http://twitter.com/nickiminaj – the only official Nicki Minaj twitter account from the lovely woman herself!

I’d like to personally thank Allie for sending me along an email informing me of the recent phone interview that she had taken with Nicki Minaj!

It’s broken into two parts, as Nicki goes more in-depth and personal giving some insight into her life and the character that is Nicki Minaj. She talks about the issue of whether or not she is signed and why, if she is bisexual, her “early to bed, early to rise” work ethic, and her future in the music & entertainment industry as a whole.

Part 2 of this interview after the jump as well as more information on Allie.

Yes, as many of you who have been visiting the site constantly over the past month (which has been crazy!) you can tell that we have a brand spankin’ new look here at the site. Thanks to the girls over at Dirrty Laundry using the latest gorgeous photoshoot outtakes of Miss Minaj. For those of you who have registered feel free to leave your comments on this update on how you like the new look!

The hip-hop industry has had quite a drought in estrogen as of late. Remy Martin is locked up, Foxy Brown has had her fair share of issues, Eve crossed over into acting and never came back, and Kim is busy dancin’ with the “stars.” But Southside Jamaica, Queens looks like it has a cloudy forecast, and just may be providing us with the rain to end the drought….in the form of Young Money Entertainment’s Nicki Minaj.

At 23, this female emcee already holds the coveted “first lady” position on the label of one of the music industry’s biggest stars, Lil Wayne. So what’s all the hype about? Minaj has been honing her skills for years. An alumnus of the famous performing arts high school of FAME notoriety, Nicki is actually not only a skilled rapper, but trained in writing, acting and singing as well. Lending vocals to local acts in her Queens neighborhood garnered the attention of popular DVD magazine The Come Up, providing Nicki with the now infamous segment that caught Lil Wayne’s attention. He quickly courted her to be the only female representer of his Young Money imprint in 2007, and two whirl-wind years later, nearly every record company now has a bid in to this femcee.

With a brand new mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty, just released, a successful run on Wayne’s I AM Music tour under her belt, and two critically acclaimed mixtapes, Playtime is Over and Sucka Free in the bag…is it safe to say Nicki Minaj is hip-hop’s next big thing? You decide. And while you do, you can read the influences behind the raptress that has the industry buzzing.

Lil Wayne
“His creativity is I just think really unmatched. I think his ability to stand out in a crowd is unmatched. And I think that he’s one of the only people that still have fun. You know Wayne can say the hottest lines but he’s still having fun with those lines. He’ll make you laugh; he can make you angry wit his raps, he can make you cry. But he’s very versatile I feel. He does the singing and all that stuff and he’s the only one that’s not afraid to venture out and try new things. I think that’s dope.”

Jay-Z
“His swag. I don’t think anyone in the WORLD has more swag than Jay. He also is another one that I felt is really, really creative. But I think with Jay he kind of always played his role. Never tried to be someone else, never tried to do anything else but just be Jay-Z…and it works really well for him. His lyrics are incredible and you know I think he did a great job to put New York on the map.”

That’s right! The highly anticipated “Beam Me Up Scotty” mixtape is now officially ready for purchase via Nicki Minaj‘s official Myspace page ONLY! Do not purchase this mixtape anywhere else unless it’s from her official Myspace page. It comes along with an autographed poster from “The Mistress” herself! Be sure to show your support and cop it, if you have PayPal. All you have to do is click the banner and it will direct you to the PayPal site for purchase options.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that I’ve updated many pages of the website. Currently, I’ve added some avatars donated to the site by Cam which can be found under the ‘Fans’ section. I’ve also added more information to the ‘Nicki Minaj’ section with more about her current status. The ‘Media’ section is being worked on as well, as I’ve begun to add some Audio tracks. There are only ‘Collaborations’ there for the moment, but in due time more will be added. I will not be posting full mixtapes/albums, only sample tracks for your listening pleasure if you aren’t familiar with Nicki Minaj. I’m in the midst of compiling a ‘Lyrics’ section which has been added to the navigation as well. Any further updates, and I’ll be sure to let you all know. Also, the current ‘Poll’ has been changed as well!
