Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Blasts Off on ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’ [Video]

Nicki Minaj ushered in 2012 as a blonde. 2011’s dominating diva kicked off the new year with an out-of-this-world performance on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” Dressed in a solar system-inspired getup, Nicki launched into orbit with her hit single “Super Bass” and returned for the David Guetta-produced “Turn Me On,” closing with her new single “Roman in Moscow” off her upcoming album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Blast off with Nicki.

“Super Bass”

“Turn Me On” + “Roman in Moscow”

She slayyyed that Super Bass performance. The vocals were really good compared to her past performances too. She went from rapping on some steps to performing on Dick Clark NYE show. Love her.

@Jasmine,not because she isn’t living up to your expectation are what you think a female rapper should be,don’t mean she failed,you just don’t like her style simple as that,you don’t like her method of doing things,but at the end of the day she is holding down female rap in her own way,kim is coming out with new music and also missy so your thirst for your standard of female rap will be quench.

@:l, Nicki is NOT even a HipHop rapper anymore. She’s turing into a Pop star. It’s so bad to the point when she tries to rap I can’t even take her serious anymore. I thought I was alone on feeling this way until my homeboys and girls felt the same way. She’s far to Hollywood now. I understand wanting to “crossover” but she can stay true to her craft and not sellout. Lauryn Hill crossed over even with The Fugees by making REAL RAP and not once dabble into Pop auto-tuned music. WELP! She’ll still have ya’ll to support her. It’s all good.

These performances show that she has improved quite a bit, which i’m glad about, cause the previous ones that she’s been doing were embarassing. I still don’t like the song Roman In Moscow, but it was a little more entertaining live.

It amazes me how everyone has something to say about Nicki and how she is a ‘gimmick’ but if she were the same as she used to be and just sat there in jeans, her real hair, and had a monotone flow, nobody would listen. She said before
“I think it would be fraudulence for me to pretend I’m the same as I was years ago.”
This woman is making moves and has put female rappers back on the map. Get ready to see more of Nicki Minaj because she is not going anywhere ANYTIME SOON.
