I really did not expect Nicki Minaj to look like this.
I decided I was a fan of Minaj a few months ago when Bedrock first came out. Her verse in the song alongside Lil’ Wayne, Drake and Lloyd is super fun and of course, super sexual. When I downloaded Itty Bitty Piggie today I realized that I actually have no idea what Nicki Minaj looks like. Using my always- trusty Google image search I stumbled across many intriguing pictures of her.
JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!
I must be blunt- she looks like a tranny with daddy issues on Jerry Springer. And kudos on the fur, I smell a PETA protest…
Whether I’m a bit frightened by Minaj’s appearance or not, I think she’s hugely talented. Good female rappers are hard to come by and I think this is the first one we’ve seen since Lil’ Kim of Missy Elliot. And just like Lil’ Kim, 25-year-old Minaj boasts a lot of bedroom experience in her music.
Signed by Lil’ Wayne’s label, Young Money Entertainment, Minaj has been recording since 2007. Fun fact- she was actually found on Myspace. See the benefits of social media? Hope you’re reading, Professor Hancock!
The decision has been made. I WILL be attending this year’s Bamboozle tour. Call me an emo-scenester all you want, but it will be me who has the last laugh while I am watching Weezer, Saves the Day, MGMT, Motion City Soundtrack and Minus the Bear (among many others) rock the f*ck out at the Meadowlands in NJ on May 2nd.

What started as a three-day music festival in Asbury Park, NJ in 2003 has now evolved in to a country-wide tour. In addition to New Jersey, The Bamboozle roadshow now stops in Chicago and California. The line-up varies from state to state, and to be quite honest, New Jersey has the best line-up. I’m not just saying this because I’m partial to New Jersey (it’s my home-state and I first started going to The Bamboozle there in 2005), take a look at the line-up and decide for your self:
When I first started going to The Bamboozle in ’05, my friends and I would get tickets for all three days. Decked out in our studded-belts, converse and band-tees, we would hop around the festival seeing all of our favorite musicians, chasing cute boys in bands and trying to get autographs and pictures with as many band members as we could. Right before Fall Out Boy became huge, they performed at The Bamboozle in 2005. It was easily one of the best performances that I have ever seen AND I somehow managed to get a picture with drummer Andy Hurley.

Gosh I was so much cooler back then than I am now. Too bad I lost the picture, though.
Not wanting to (completely) relive my punk-kid days, I am only going to this year’s Bamboozle on Sunday, May 2nd. I don’t think my body can handle mosh-pits and crowd-surfing to that extent anymore.
I must stop and vent for a second though- it really bothers me when people won’t go to concerts of bands they love because of the “young punk-kids” that are going to be there. Yes, middle-schoolers with multiple piercings and mohawks are annoying, but should that stop some one from seeing a great performance? NO. Just throw blunt-objects at them, sit back, relax and enjoy the show like I do!
