Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Has a Blast at Hackney Weekend

Nicki Minaj landed in London for her performance on Day 1 of Hackney Weekend. Young Money’s First Lady, who is currently on tour in Europe, pranced across the stage in pink boots while delivering her smash single “Starships.” She gave her British Barbz the time of their lives and felt the love in return.

“London!!!!!!!!!! Had such a blast @ Hackney!!!!!!!!!! Mmmuuuuaaaahhhhh!!!!! An amazing start to ‪#myweekintheUK‬!!!!!” tweeted Nicki.

@Trina’s Back, This coming from a Trina Fan??? Hahaha laughable. When was Trina’s last billboard hit? Pull Over? Lol. Trina has flopped every album since her Debut. Yes, she’s consistent but they are all FAILS!!!! Nicki’s debut sold more than Trina’s entire catalog. Trina is a Has-Been!!

@Candyj, Her age doesn’t matter because she didn’t get discovered until she was 25 or 26 and let’s not forget pink Friday highest first week sale ever for a femalerapper I don’t count lauryn cause she is beyond a rapper and people aren’t tired of her they just want her to do straight hiphop and be the next Kim but she already told y’all she wasn’t y’all didn’t listen I’m glad she doing something different plus it’s dude who rap don’t have one platnium album yet so….

June 24th, 2012 at 9:53 am
@Zoo, Exactly!! By the way her album is selling just not as fast in the U.S. Her album is #1 in Australia, #3 in New Zealand and #4 in Brazil. And lets not forget “StarShips” being 4x Platinum in Canada, 5x Platinum in Australia and 2x Platinum in the Sates. -Sidebar- you name one Rapper that has dropped an album this year who went #1 on 4 different countries?? Just give it up to Nicki for working hard and grinding..

@shadd, True, but rapper? i love nicki but lately her singles haven’t been RAP they been pop. i love Starships but i wouldnt consider it rap it is more on the POP side. I love pink friday but Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded i only like the first 4 songs. I hope on her third album she leaves the singing and dance tracks and sticks to rapping like come on a cone or others.

@shadd, Robert you dont understand that in order to have commercial succes you need to play what people love,she popped with the superbass shit so why stop.Nicki gets so much hate and she’s still winning imagine if this lil kim beef never happened women should be proud of all female rappers

Her performances are always so dry and boring. Did any of you guys read what one of the UK newspapers had to say about her performances, let’s just put it this way they weren’t too nice.The UK is not afraid to tell it like it is unlike here in America where everybody love to kiss these artists a**. The crowd looked so uninterested, the only time they look like they had any life was when she was performing “Starships” and “Superbass”.

The UK tell it like it is, unlike here in America were everybody wants to kiss these artists a**. Nicki step your game up because what you have been giving us for years is worst than Rihanna.

NO ONE gave a shit. compared to other performers on that stage, the crowd was 1%. I was there, I know. I’m not a hater or a lover of Nicki Minaj. But this was tacky as phuck. WACK.

You lot are pathetic. She is a person. I know people who can rap better than her and sound better than her to and if they got more famous than her you’d be bickering over them too, yet she is the one who is famous. Why does everything to do with music have to be an argument. If she couldn’t do it she wouldn’t be famous… J’heeze. Really.

Even if you like her or not! Pay your respects. She’s on her grind. Stop hating on the girl. Good job Nicki! I’m proud of you and your accomplishments.

it’s not hating just pure facts sweety. she’s garbage and everyone knows it. we not saying she doesn’t know how to make a dollar..but she won’t last too much longer with those bubble gum raps. she’s 3 years in and people are already tired of this gimmick. She needs to learn how to dance and entertain folks while she’s rapping (I guess that’s what she does, not too sure). She needs to get a clue and read these blogs and sites that constantly bash her. Take some notes, go back to the drawing board and start over again..cuz the shyt she putting out is TRASH!

Get me get you rookies straight. Nicki is on her grind, and hot for the MOMENT, but she will not sustain. She will become a fade really soon, its already starting to show. Lets get one thing str8 also Nicki first album has not sold more than Trina’s collection. Nicki sold 1,774,000 in the us and plus worldwide. As did Trina first album which she sold 1.7 million US. Trina has sustained herself in the game 15 years and is respectfully up there with best female MC such as Missy, Kim, Eve, Raw Digga, etc…, so when Nicki actually have put out the work and still hot 5 years from now like she is now then we can call her a factor of hip hop. There’s always an artist that has their time to shine and most after that are forgotten
