I knew Nicki Minaj was something special when I came across her Myspace page a few years ago. She had all the ingredients necessary to rise above “Underground” status. Sex appeal and decent enough bars. The fact that her lane was emptier than a Jenny Craig’s center on Thanksgiving didn’t hurt either. And while everyone likened Nicki’s outer appearance to Lil Kim, I saw pre-deaf Foxy Brown written all over her. From her flow, to her bars to her tats, it was all Foxy.

Since then, Nicki has dropped the Foxy influence and has created a Wayne x Monie Love x Lady Gaga x Barbie character. Because of this change, we are now in the midst of an epidemic that even I did not see coming. The Barbie Epidemic. You see these hoodrats at your school, the mall, the club and on social networking sites posing and dressing like their idol and looking like all types of wrong.

Maybe I’m just being a “hater.” Maybe my lame ass is missing out on all the fun. Maybe I should add Barbie to my name. I should request a black & pink weave from Lugo’s and maybe I should get me a BARBIE pendant filled with rinky dink diamonds © Cam’ron.

Oh my! Good thing I came across this before I went ahead with my Barbie tat, that would’ve been right next to my “TSS 4 Lyfe” tat of course! So I guess I’m not a hater after all. This shit is ridiculous and it is getting out of hand, especially when a majority of these chicks have NO business impersonatin’ and perpetratin.’

To the many hoodrats “Barbies” out there, I ask that you please click on this link for a PSA that I hope will lead to you reevaluating your life.

Kudos.
