Why hate on Lil Miss Nicki?

The Barbie vs. Barbie beef has officially reached DEFCON-1.
This week Lil Kim took her issues with Nick Minaj to another level releasing her video for the scathing mixtape cut "Black Friday," a track dedicated solely to annihilating the Nickster. To add further insult to injury, the clip was directed by Fendi, Nicki Minaj’s former manager, and shows a Nicki Minaj clone attempting to replicate Lil’ Kim.
The question is, where is this beef going?
"Lil’ Kim is like a kindergartener – silence is ammunition," Erika Ramirez, of VIBE, New York Magazine and Latina, explains. "She’ll keep pushing buttons ‘til she gets a reaction."
Nicki’s response thus far to Kim’s browbeating has been nothing more than giggles on Twitter, with the exception of her interview last year with Angie Martinez of NYC’s Hot 97 radio station, where Nicki posed a rhetorical question to Kim, "Where is your music?" Three months later it appears Nicki has found her answer."While I do see maturity in the way Nicki Minaj has handled the situation thus far – brushing it off with a few "Lol" tweets here and there – I think it’s time for Barbz to speak up," Ramirez continues. "It does speaks volumes that with just the sales earned from ‘Roman’s Revenge,’ Nicki Minaj can buy out Kim’s imaginary Pay Pal records."
This behavior is historically typical of Lil’ Kim.
"Kim has had long-standing beef with other artists, most notably Foxy Brown, with whom she never reconciled," Steven Horowitz, Associate Editor of YRB Magazine recalls. "She knows how to hold a grudge." Horowitz doesn’t see the situation escalating any further. "While she might be at the peak of her intense attack on Nicki, it will probably fizzle," he states. "But like with Foxy, she’ll still fire errant shots when she can."There is also a slight possibility that Nicki Minaj will entertain this battle.
"I would love for the tiff between Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj to play out much in the same way Canibus and LL Cool J’s beef did years ago, where both continue to release intriguing dis records that become a part of hip hop history," Georgette Cline, Editor at AOL Music and Rap-Up.com says. "But ever since Kim put out the ‘Black Friday’ track last year, we haven’t heard much retaliation from Nicki on record besides the ‘has been’ remarks on ‘Roman’s Revenge.’ Either Nicki’s trying something new by not addressing the mockery that is Kim’s mixtape cover or she’s just letting the dust settle before she drops a lyrical bomb on her."Ramirez agrees, "I want to hear Minaj’s thoughts, whether it be via a dis record or an interview."
Prior to dropping "Roman’s Revenge", Nicki inserted subtle jabs to Kim on tracks like Kanye West’s "Monster," Trey Songz’ "Bottoms Up" and her Will.i.Am collaboration "Check It Out". However, Nicki has yet to release a work dedicated mainly to Kim in the manner Black Friday has been dedicated to her.This beef appears to have done more for Lil’ Kim’s career than it has Nicki’s, as Pink Friday sits at the top of the Billboard charts still after 11 weeks. Before this beef occurred, Lil’ Kim hadn’t formally released any music in years.
"I predict that this will be the female version of 50 Cent vs. Ja Rule, and Kim will eventually go on to make a Hardcore 2 on an indie label," Jake Paine, Editor-In-Chief of HipHopDX.com states, as Kim now has leverage to continue her career.
While everyone loves a good battle, the results of this one could either be career rejuvenating or career ending.
"Kim is digging her own proverbial grave at this point in the hip hop history books," states Dove, Editor of UrbLife.com and RadioPlanet.tv.
Dove continues, "I think people would respect a toe-to-toe lyrical joust, but Nicki moved on from cypher battling to become the pop diva she is now. Kim needs to grow up, seriously. Nothing good can come of this."
I don't kno why everyone wants to get in the middle of this drama. I think this is going to turn out real bad if it don't get smashed now.
The clone references classic Kim videos like "Crush On You," off Lil’ Kim’s debut album Hard Core. "Black Friday" appears on the same titled mixtape, which Kim alleges sold record setting amount on Pay Pal in just under 24 hours. The mixtape is essentially a collection of Minaj jabs wrapped into one project.

You think you've got the voice, the flow, and the skill to break into the rap industry . Now, how are you going to do it? The process of getting a rap record deal is much like getting any other kind of record deal, in that it requires persistence and know-how. But if you're really serious about your dreams and making it as a rapper, you may just reach fame.
One thing that's important to remember about making it in the rap business is that buzz is crucial. New acts don't survive without generating serious buzz in the industry and the community. So how to generate buzz for a rap record? You've got to promote yourself, both physically and digitally. Battle at clubs and make a name for yourself locally. Sell your album or demo at gigs and on all your media platforms-maybe entice with a free download. Make a killer website with your best single playing in the background. Use social networking to get people talking about you and recruit fans. The more you promote yourself as a rapper, the better the chances that you'll run into a contact that can help you break into the business.
Something that differentiates the rap industry from other genres of music is the concept of coming up under another rapper. Big names bring other rappers into the industry under them, such as Lil Wayne bringing in Drake and Nicki Minaj. If you can find the right people, you may be able to try this tactic-but you'll most likely need to live in a major rap city like New York, Chicago, L.A., or Detroit, in order to make your name and make those connections.
All of these tactics are useful and may be enough to snag you some attention and get you on your way to a rap record deal. But most likely, you may find yourself with a healthy buzz on your MySpace page and nowhere to go with it. How do you get a rap record deal? You are going to need to get your demo in the hands of an A and R representative. Record three or four of your best songs, making sure to load the front with ear-catching moments.

But of course you'll need somewhere to send your demo. If you've made any contacts, wonderful-now is the time to seek them out and find the information and people that you need to break into the rap industry . Otherwise, you are going to need to find the contacts on your own. This is made much easier through the use of a music contacts database, which is a pay-for-access listing of music contacts and addresses that will help you find the A and R representative you need. Assemble your demo package as per the label's guidelines, follow up with a polite email, and you are on your way to getting a rap record deal. It’s not easy getting into the rap game. It takes a lot of hard work but if you put your mind to it you can do it. That’s why one day I am going to go for it because I know one day I’m going to make it big thanks to these notes.
