"No disrespect to Nicki, but I need to clear up an inaccuracy..." Lauryn Hill

[Newark88]

No disrespect to Nicki, but I need to clear up an inaccuracy. I was not scheduled to be a special guest on her set at Summer Jam, I was invited by Nas to perform with him. I don't have details on exactly what transpired between the station and the artists, but I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics. We can do better than this, there is a better way, or else 'we' (the proverbial we) find ourselves in danger of being hypocrites!!!

Damn....

How is calling wack shyt wack a fear tactic or threat

It was Nicki's own choice to fall back from the show, noone from Hot 97 made her.

People stay wanting to try to shine shyt and call it gold in this genre...Nicki's bullshyt pop isn't even worth some pseudo analysis of artistic expression. Just say you weren't performing with Nicki and keep it at that.

They weren't taking some kind of noble artistic stand they got embarrassed and left

since when is lauryn hill the voice of reason

edit: bytch even sounds crazy in that answer

 

[Roberto Dinero]

if it was true

Funny thing is that Nicki is gonna be Lil Kim status in like 5 years time. In more than one way.

Musically and looks wise as well. They both done the surgery thing heavy. In about 5 years Nicki is gonna look like what Kim looks like now. They both wilder beast status.

Nicki Minaj vs. Peter Rosenberg: The Worst Beef Ever | SPIN | No Trivia

This is rap's "real vs. commercial" culture war in 2012. A loudmouthed morning man and a DJ who plays radio singles before all the other stations, and pretends he still "breaks records," fighting it out with a female pop and rap dynamo, maybe even artist of a generation, who couldn't care less about being "real." Meanwhile, the fans don't care one way or another about this beef, yet it's their Sunday evening that turned into a disappointment.

rosenberg is an angry man.

maybe peter rosenberg would be happier if he didn't work for people whose baseline goals contradict everything he believes in?

i interviewed rosenberg in '06 for scratch. he was djing weekends at a dc mcdonalds, playing j dilla records for drunkards and lovin it.
