I think Nicki is a great rap artist, there isn't another female rap artist our right now (there's not many) that can match her witty rhymes! As far as her over the top personality, it's all for show and not her. I think she's trying to create the same shock value as Lady gaga does and it doesn't really work for her. her costumes are always an epic fail, she just wear nothing lol I would so love that more than the tacky costumes
