Why are The Gays so fascinated with Nicki Minaj?

i'm sorry, i just don't think modern rap is your thing then XD. btw, your avatar, is that you?


's not true, I just don't like NM's particular variety of it is all :wink:

If that was me in my avatar I would be making a shit ton of money on the catwalks right now :tongue: Instead I labour as a lowly artist and goldsmith....

Not a fan of Minaj at all. I find her voice tinny and annoying, difficult to listen to. There are other females in the rap game that she can't touch. Lil Kim, Remy Ma, Missy, Foxy Brown, Jean Grae...these are women that do it right. I wonder how many people would still love Nicki if she rinsed all the technicolor out of her get-up.

Not my favorite kind of music and not the best rap around, but she is fresh and just outrageous enough to make in the mainstream music business. I didn't like every piece linked to here but I enjoy her kooky sound.

and i think another reason she is so addictive to the mainstream media, is because she actually acts like a girl, looks and behaves like a girl. all these other female rappers look like men and act like men. always talking bout killing people and just stupid stuff which make them, look manly!! that's not cute, it's weird.

Not really the same, when I say "The Gays" I don't mean all homosexual men (or women for that matter) I'm just talking about a certain kind of Gay guy and I'm not making presumptions about the sexuality of everyone who likes Nicki Minaj a la Seaside's thread.

Maybe if I'd said "Everyone who likes Nicki Minaj is a homo" you'd be in an excellent position to roll those pretty eyes of yours :wink:


I'm really just poking fun at something I find confusing about contemporary Gay culture.

Fine! [Too lazy to look for "Outflanked by Hilairean charm" emoticon]

That captures my feeling.
I'm catching the wave in a very small way ....
Not crazy about her but she really evokes a persona.

She has that "larger than life" persona that generally seems to attract gays.

she's fucking odd.
I think it's a combination of these two points. Please humour me as I suggest why.

I think there are men who are gay and there are gay men (and certainly points in between). For the former homosexuality is just a part of who they are while for the latter homosexuality defines their identity.

If the environment is, or perceived to be, hostile to homosexuality then the boy discovering his sexuality will become protective of his "difference", either hiding it for self preservation or magnifying it to make it somehow unassailable. Women who have achieved success despite, or in fact due to, their unusual nature would be very attractive to those who felt they were repressed.

I could just be talking out of my ass.

Considering a list like Minaj, Gaga, Maddona, Cher & Streisand maybe it's just a longer than traditionally feminine nose. Or perhaps it's a wardrobe that's irresistible for drag.

I know what you mean by gays and "The Gays". I'm only 32, but in gay years, I'm in a nursing home on life support. :tongue: "The Gays" are some of those late-teens, early twenty-somethings who think they invented sex and that 30 is 'OMG, like, just so old!'

I'm really just poking fun at something I find confusing about contemporary Gay culture.

I'm not into rap so I can't really form an opinion of Nicki.....

Let "The Gays" have their Nicki - us crusty old farts still have Madonna and Kylie!

(and I do love my Gaga!)

Ah OK this is very useful information Country. I can sleep at night now happy that disliking Nicki Minaj disqualifies me from being a Gays and not getting Garth Brooks prevents me from being Straight but I am still able to call myself a Str8s if I wish :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1: :wink::smlove2:

So you're not gay, but you're not straight.....OMG! YOU'RE TOM CRUISE!!!!!

With the wild costumes, the exaggerated persona and blunt, controversial lyrics, I can see the appeal for Nicki Minaj with certain people. However, I'm not feeling it just yet. She doesn't come off as being someone that evolves the game right now. She did a live performance on SNL that was completely lackluster in my opinion... but the Lonely Planet video was rather humorous. IMO, as long as we still got people like Eve and Lin Que making records, Nicki has a ways to go before she goes down as one of the greats.

Hmmmm.. other good female Hip-Hoppers?
There's God-Des & She... but since they're open about their sexuality they'll never get their proper due in the industry. Hip-Hop culture still has a ways to go before they're publicly accepting of the gay & lesbian communities. I mean, if Khia could do a record called "My Neck, My Back", why couldn't this number rock that same crowd?

And dare I say it? I still think Bahamadia was one of the smoothest, yet most slept on Hip-Hop females out there. Her stuff wasn't the "rough, thug stuff" back in the 90s so the masses didn't connect with it.

It's the nose! It's definitely the nose! To answer XYZ's question, yes Nicki Minaj is hung, NASAL HUNG! :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1:

Thank you! For getting it, and for being older than me by ONE WHOLE YEAR! :wink::biggrin1:

She first appeared on my radar while reading a post about NM on DListed (in which she tweeted a denial of a lesbian love interest for Rhianna). I have also seen her pictures frequently on Gawker and GoFugYourself, so I understand the visual thing. Gilette was on the mark when she alluded to the drag-ish aspect of her look.

I live 1/2 block off the main drag of the largest gay ghetto in SoFla, and live about a three minute's walk from this place, where one goes to See & Be Seen (as the sign says). I enjoy dinner there three or four times per month, usually before work (my shifts start at 10:00 PM), sitting at the main bar and watching music vids on one of the many enormous flat-screens that are hung everywhere. NM is currently in heavy rotation, though they tend to show remixes of her stuff that makes it more Classic Gay Bar Music and less Hip Hop, much the same way that they remix ballads into dance hits.

I'm under-impressed, but that's really nothing new; there's astonishingly little being produced right now that gives me anything other than a "meh". I'm not exactly gaga over Gaga, but I really do like Bad Romance and respect her talents as a musician, even if I find her self-promotion a tad too hungry for my taste. Madge has been irrelevant since her Confessions album five/six years ago: she's just not producing anything right now.

As to Garland: this grabs me and pulls me in (like this or this, too), so I guess I still qualify as one of Teh Gayz, huh?:cool:

And anyway, I could drag out all of my Dinosaur Divas and make unkind comparisons, but that's not really even the point now, is it?

I haven't a clue either. Guess I have to turn in my "gay" card. Now I'm off to listen to Dinah and Dusty.

This whole thread reminds me of the time I was at the MTV Music Awards about 15 years ago and people kept coming up on the stage to perform or present and I had no idea who they were. Finally Janet Jackson came on and I was like.... "I know her! Yay for me!"

Subsequently my best friend has a child who is 16 and we ask her what the cool kids are listening to.

I'm going to put my Dusty CD on now too I guess.
