Last week, I tagged along with MTV News for the Mixtape Daily shoot with Nicki Minaj at Baisley Pond Park in Queens, New York (I live just a few minutes away). A lot of people in Queens have much respect for Nicki as a writer, singer and artist whose lyrical content is fun and playful — but don’t forget, she has a flow so crazy she can hurt your feelings. She’s been highly recognized after working with Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne and the Young Money Crew.

Waiting for her to arrive at the park, I didn’t know what to expect or even make of the day ahead of me. The only thing that came to mind was “Nicki Minaj is a bad bi—!” (in the best way possible!) She stepped out of the white SUV in a white tank top, glittery pink leggings, and strapped heels, complemented by gold earrings, big chains and bracelets. After going through the details of how the interview would get started, she had a few creative ideas of her own. She wanted to incorporate bikes into the shoot, and for her to take creative direction showed me that she has no problem voicing how she wanted her segment to look.

After meeting up with Atlanta’s DJ Holiday, the interview got started with Nicki sitting on a blue motorcycle while her girls stood next to her and the guys stood behind her wearing “I Wanna Minaj” T-shirts. A yellow Ferrari rolled up next to us, followed by a group of dirt bikes doing wheelies and other stunts around the park.

Yeah, you are going to hear a bunch of more-than-just-friendly shout-outs to the ladies — Nicki says she loves the girls and has no problem surrounding herself with “bad bitches.”

“A bad bitch is an exclusive, smart girlie-girl who holds her own,” she explained. Minaj is from the same Southside Queens neighborhood as Mixtape Daily co-founder and host Shaheem Reid.

“Seeing a lot of crackheads — a lot of drug dealers,” she said, describing the neighborhood when she was growing up. “I was on crack. I went to rehab. … No, I spit that crack. That’s what I meant.”

Minaj attended LaGuardia High School — the performing arts school on which the movie “Fame” was based — where she studied not music, but acting. She got into rapping after hanging around all her dudes who rhymed.

“I used to make stuff up and spit it and eventually just started getting dope — I think people just started taking me serious,” she said. Nicki was discovered by Lil Wayne a couple of years after the New Orleans MC saw her on the street DVD “On the Come Up.” “I was OK, but I wasn’t focusing on the music. I was doing pictures and stuff like that, so people knew me more for pictures than my music,” she continued. “But with the Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape, they have to take me seriously as an artist. So, I would say maybe a year ago, I started sharpening my skills. Recently, I’ve been singing more. Now it’s official — it’s going down like ‘Town Julie Brown.”

Following excerpt is from Nicki’s official twitter account:

tomorrow u can view my mixtape monday footage every hour on the hour on MTV JAMS….it’ll also be on mtvnews.com =)about 2 hours ago from web

I’ve got several videos of Nicki performing at the Core DJ Retreat X in Atlanta, Georgia on April 25, 2009 @ Studio 72 (Atlanta,GA). For more footage from the retreat and more videos of Nicki, please visit www.tuesdayknight.wordpress.com.

You’re STILL not familiar with Nicki Minaj? Well…WATCH THIS! I’m not going to front, when Nicki first hit my “new rapper radar” I immediately hit the “I’ll pass” button since the parallel’s between her and Lil Kim were extremely similar.

Light skin cutie with long hair rapping about explicit issues we only talk about behind closed doors- yeah, I’d say she was a carbon copy.

But after removing the stubborn sticker from my forehead, I sat down and dissected shorty’s material and the parallel’s didn’t exist like I once thought.

Earlier this week the Southside Jamaica, Queens vixen slid through the BET.com HQ’s for an interesting chat about her style, how the parallel’s between her and Kim don’t exist and what she really thinks about NYC hip hop (it’s nothing bad…DON’T WORRY).

I split the interview into two parts because she deserves it…PROBLEM? I’m also providing a link with her new mixtape/street album, Beam Me Up Scotty, which is available online and in the streets right NOW! Without further ado, I present One On One with LowKey & Nicki Minaj…ENJOY!
