The Minaj Capsule
Nicki Minaj once said that she does not see herself as a female rapper anymore but only as a rapper. I know that this has been said over hundred times, but I will say it again: this woman has succeeded in a genre that is dominated by males. She is not like any other female MCs in the hip-hop game because there is one ability that she has above them all: a musical chameleon. She has blended one genre with many genres into her catalogue that was meant to be singular and that no one could take further. That is one of the reasons why Nicki Minaj is hated. As a black woman who grew up in 2010s, she was the main female rapper. It is not that they were not other female rappers but to me, she seemed to be the one who was working her ass off. She was doing everything she could to ensure she was here to stay. I could never resonate with other female rappers because they did not have a powerful presence on a record. Her style was something that I could listen to, replay it in my head and it can become timeless. I share some similarities with the fierce lyricist such as writing, being a drama student and working to perfect our craft. Every record that Nicki has laid her voice on has proven her strength as a woman to hold her own. Unfortunately, I only have one album in my room: Pink Friday, her debut album after the mixtape era. (2010) Do not worry, all four albums will be on my shelf soon. I grew up in the era of streaming, so I am used to sitting near my computer or using my phone, wearing headphones, and clicking the play button on a playlist called The Minaj Capsule. The description of this playlist is a collection of her greatest and versatile hits from every genre such as Hip-hop, Pop, R&B, Electropop, and the list goes on. A playlist with over three-hundred songs with every single, every feature and every remix. It is sad to know there were songs that never got that much radio air. Here are her best songs: Moment 4 Life featuring Drake. Roman’s Revenge featuring Eminem Fly featuring Rihanna Runnin featuring Mike Will Made-It, Asap Rocky and Asap Ferg The Night Is Still Young The Boys featuring Cassie Right By My Side featuring Chris Brown Pills N Potions Come on a Cone Plain Jane Remix with ASAP Ferg High School featuring Lil Wayne Clappers featuring Wale and Juicy J Bang, Bang featuring Jessie J and Ariana Grande Bed of Lies featuring Skylar Grey Starships Senile featuring Lil Wayne and Tyga Here are her underrated songs: Girls Fall Like Dominoes Va Va Voom We Go Up featuring Fivio Foreign Up in Flames Low featuring Juicy J, Young Thug and Lil Bibby Idol featuring BTS Seeing Green featuring Lil Wayne and Drake Bussin featuring Lil Baby Swish Swish featuring Katy Perry Whip It Hard White Feeling Myself featuring Beyonce No Broken Hearts featuring Bebe Rexha Realize featuring 2 Chainz Here are her most memorable songs: Moment 4 Life featuring Drake Superbass I Wanna Be with You featuring Future and Rick Ross Hey Mama featuring AfroJack and Bebe Rexha Where Them Girls At featuring FloRida Out of my Mind featuring B.O.B Starships Stupid Hoe Turn Me On Only featuring Lil Wayne and Drake Anaconda Right Thru Me I Am Your Leader featuring Rick Ross and Cam’ron Beez In the Trap featuring 2 Chainz Bottoms Up Featuring Trey Songz Here is her worst song: Come See About Me Any Barbs out there, tell me what are your favorite songs from Nicki? What are your least favorite songs from her? What songs by Nicki do you think are underappreciated? Do you agree or disagree with my list? Are there any songs that I am missing? Leave your answers in the comments.

Talk "Poison" To Me
Whether you love or love to hate them, Poison became notorious in the 1980's as one of the bands that brought exposure to the genre of Glam Rock. Forming in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Bret Michaels along with drummer Rikki Rockett and bass player Bobby Dall decided to relocate and chase their dreams, driving to Los Angeles in Bret's Ford Econoline ambulance in 1984. They would cut their teeth in the most famous bars of the Sunset Strip, eventually landing a regular gig at the legendary Troubadour club. Things were looking up for the group, but they still needed a killer guitarist to help them break away from the rest of their Sunset Strip peers. After auditioning many different axe men, it was down to just two virtuosos: an LA famous but semi-unknown C.C. DeVille, or an up and coming pre-Guns Slash.
