Trina On What It Takes For A Female To Make It TODAY In Hip Hop

May 23, 2013

“I mean it’s all about what’s different. What’s exciting now. What will shock people. I won’t say it’s easy because it would be a lot of females in the game on top if it was easy! With females the main issues are budgets and emotions. There are certain things that as women we need. When you’re dealing with a label they see it but they just try to work around it. Most times that don’t work. For a female artist “the look” is really important. You have to spend money to make it work. Advice to a new female artist is PLEASE be focused and determined to give 150% to your career if you truly want it. Learn as much as you can about the business. Hire a great lawyer because you will need it! Don’t believe that anybody is gonna give you anything free because if it’s free then you’ll never know the value of your work. Work for it. Go hard for yourself!” –Trina

Quoted! Nicki Minaj On Her First Big Purchase

May 23, 2013

“My first car that I purchased was a BMW. It was beautiful! It was a 3 Series so it fit me perfectly. 323i. It was white and looked brand spanking new, but it was, like, two years old with hardly any miles on it. I got in a car accident, so I had my little settlement money come in, and instead of me going shopping and blowing it, I wanted to have something that I would be able to see, so I took it as a down payment on my car. No one could believe that I had that car. My mother, my uncles, and my mother’s friends and everybody were like, ‘Girl, you’re going to lose that car, you’re not going to be able to keep it up.’ It was my first car, and it was my prized possession. So amazing!” -Nicki Minaj reveals her first big purchase in Teen Vogue

May 10, 2013

Queen Latifah popped up on the music scene in 1988 when Hip Hop was not only a new music genre, but female rappers were few and far between. And it was hard.
