Janelle Monae rappin >>> Nicki Minaj

[Bcotton5]

I don't know what to think about this young lady. The video was alright...I don't care for B.O.B so I have to go with Lupe's verse.

peep the original version its waay better than the remix

 

[Nah Son]

rapping or singing, this girl has a voice of gold. her part on b.o.b.'s "the kids" is really dope.

But if Janelle wrote this.... she could rap circles around Nicki.

Lmao, what a fucking reach. There was nothing too lyrically impressive about that verse....almost at all. It was just OK. I thought you'd at least use the flow she had as excuse. Your arms don't ever get sore, Dhalsim??

 

[KillaCham]

But godamnit this shit is catchy.

Janelle Monae's one of the nicest artists at the moment, period.

She's the 2nd coming of Santogold with original and memorable tracks all over her mixtape and album.

Haha, it wouldn't be a reach a reach to say an average hoodrat could rap better than her. Hell, one did.

The best thing Nicki has is a unique style and delivery. She's had few dope flows and some of the lamest punchlines I've heard this year.

It's become a rule with me that if you rap on a track with Lupe and he doesn't make a fool out of you, then you're a dope lyricist. Case in point: Listen to the Paris Tokyo Remix. By the time Lupe's verse ends you'll be wondering WTF happened with the trash Pharell spit.

While Monae had only about two above average punchlines (none bad), everything else was on point. She had a strong delivery and some personal flair with the stuttering. The bitch even switched flows on it. I'm sure you didn't notice cause your eyes and ears were already inflamed with the feelings caught by the title. I'm not gonna crown her because it's only one song, but it WAS impressive and it's better than a lot of the shit I heard on Beam Me Up Scotty lyric wise. (I Get Crazy is my shit tho) If she can build and improve, I think she'd be better.

You and your cape are needed somewhere else. I suggest Chicago.

She's got one song on there thats totally in reverse, sounds good, I reversed the mp3 in audacity and the shit sounds great forward or reversed. You know you're talented when you can have a great song in reverse and forwards

lmao ayo i had to come back and comment on this because I didnt even notice this shit til today...you talkin bout the song "Neon Gumbo" ..that's actually the ending of her other song "Many Moons" played in reverse..I reversed it in Audacity too..fly shit
