Kanye West "Nicki Minaj Could Potentially Be Number 2."


During an interview with Ms. Angie Martinez of Hot 97, Kanye West Proclaimed Ms. Nicki Minaj has the potential to be no. 2 best rapper behind Eminem.

"The scariest artist in the game right now… The scariest artist is definitely Nicki Minaj," he told Hot 97.

"And I think she has the most potential out of everyone to be the number two rapper of all time because nobody’s gonna be bigger than Eminem. Eminem’s the number one rapper of all time."

West also confirmed that Minaj will feature on his new album, due out on November 16.

Best in the world?... just a tad bit to early to for see for me, especially with the world not seeing what Nicki has to officially offer..But with the hype surrounding Nicki right now, she absolutely has that shot to be a force...We sure shall see...Great co-sign though and an opinion is an opinion....

  10. It will always be the greatest debut in hip hop more so than biggie and Tupac.Talking about if Eminem is the best ever and he is but not many people will say it.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I like Nicki and all but number 2? nah

    ReplyDelete
  12. they don't want to give it to Eminem because he's white but he is the best but Nicki won't be number 2 I like her but thats too much right now

    ReplyDelete
  13. If you say Jay go listen to the blueprint Em rapped circles around him.....If you say Wayne go listen to forever......If you say biggie or Tupac just think about it would Biggie really want to battle EM? Tupac would be a good fight but EM will win

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  21. Second of all Tupac was over rated and so was Biggie we just consider them the best because they had the beef and unfortunetly they died

    ReplyDelete
  22. Em would never beat tupac

    ReplyDelete
  23. whoever said tupac was overrated should sit down Pac was the best to do it Em in number 2

    ReplyDelete
  24. Im a Jay fan but to the person who said the money and the team and Beyonce what does that have to do with him being the best? Who your screwing at night does not make you the best

    ReplyDelete
  25. we will look over what he said about Nicki because I can't agree with that never because truth be told Nicki is hot now but Kim can MC and so can Lauryn hill and Foxy so Nicki has to be a better MC first I don't like Kim as a woman but truthfully she is better than Nicki in MCing

    ReplyDelete
  26. And Empire State will live forever but if you notice when the play it for those of you who live in New York would know.When they play Empire State at fancy balls are events they play Alicia' version.Jay Version is only for the club's but nice events its Alicia version playing that will be remembered for decades

    ReplyDelete
  27. I agree with that last comment Kim is dissrespectful as FUCK but she could rap in her day

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hi Ms.A how are you today?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Biggie is the greatest hands down than Jay

    ReplyDelete
  35. Kanye goes over board sometimes but I do think Nicki can be the greatest female rapper of all time

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't know about Nicki being the best she has a lot of hurdles to get over first

    ReplyDelete
  37. EM is the best how can yall not say that? Who could really be better? Im not say ing the others are not great but EM will smash everybody

    ReplyDelete
  38. EM is the best ever!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Nicki will kill Kim on the Mic but being the #2 greatest EVER........Eminem and Tupac is the best rappers to ever do it I cant choose one

    ReplyDelete
  40. Kanye is talking to much as usual

    ReplyDelete
  41. Do the world a favor Kanye shut up and just make music man

    ReplyDelete
  42. If this was the late 90's Kim would Kill Nicki but I don't know now

    ReplyDelete
  43. Jay has earned the right to be the best ever how can you dispute that?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Kanye that was a really strong opinion man a little too strong for me

    ReplyDelete
  45. Jay has the entire package and he dont write rhymes!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Jay can't compare to Em in the rhymes Em already proved that

    ReplyDelete
  47. he don't write rhymes other people write them for him LOL

    ReplyDelete
  48. Nobody wants to give Eminem respect because he is white he will rap circles around big and tupac and Jay(Which he has already done)

    ReplyDelete
  49. EM will murder all 3 of those niggas

    ReplyDelete
  50. You cant dispute Eminem everyone will but you really cant if he was black he would be the greatsest rapper ever 12 times over

    ReplyDelete
  51. how can we compare Tupac and Biggie to anyone? They did what they did so the newer rappers EM Jay etc had time to take in what they did and learn from it. we should keep them out of this because we don't know how they would be now

    ReplyDelete
  52. so the rappers after them Em is the best

    ReplyDelete
  53. To that last comment how can we leave them out of this? They were both good rappers but the only reason they are considered the best is because they died! Biggie had 1 album before he and he is the best? Lets say Drake is the best than he has 1 album......Tupac was more of a poet and a great one but as far as rapping we put both of them on to high of a pedastal

    ReplyDelete
  54. I know biggie didnt wish to die but thats how history played out

    ReplyDelete
  55. Pac wasn't overratted man he was the fucking truth the best to ever do it

    ReplyDelete
  56. I have been thinking that for a long time but never dared to say anything

    ReplyDelete
  57. Pac was not overratted but I give him 2nd best I cant deny EM

    ReplyDelete
  58. the mere fact that we are still comparing Big and Pac to rappers now shows that they were two of the best to do it no bullshit

    ReplyDelete
  59. I agree with the last comment if they weren't so good then why hasn't their legacy died down yet?

    ReplyDelete
  60. thats a good point!

    ReplyDelete
  61. With this mentality about Pac and Biggie like there invinsible and no one can ever over take them.There's only 2 people who get the right to know that they will always be the greatest and that's Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones.Biggie and Pac was the best of there time but the greatest now is EM.Just like in sports the best player in basketball 30 years ago was Bill Russell and than Michael Jordan came along.That does not mean Bill aint great because he is but Michael came along and took the game to a new level.And thats what EM and Jay has done to rap its on another level its passed Pac and Biggie but both of them are still great

    ReplyDelete
  62. Were only still comparing them because us black folks wont give EM his due and we just want to hold on and not let Jay have his rightful place at #2

    ReplyDelete
  63. We are to scared to say it we dont want to look like fools Kanye aint the first rapper to say EM is the best Drake said it a couple weeks ago.I commend them for making the right choice and speaking pubicly

    ReplyDelete
  64. If EM was black this would be a different conversation

    ReplyDelete
  65. I agree with a couple of comments up Michael and Quincy are the only ones that can not be toppled the rest is fair game things change

    ReplyDelete
  66. Pac is the best I dont care and I wont let it go

    ReplyDelete
  67. Pac is the best! Em is number 2

    ReplyDelete
  68. I dont get it when I look at the Wiki's for all artist EM is the clear cut winner what makes the others better than him?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Jay is #1 he is the best to do it hands down

    ReplyDelete
  70. Tupac is the best to ever do it I love EM but I still have to give it to Pac

    ReplyDelete
  71. Kanye talks to much

    ReplyDelete
  72. Big is the best to do it no question

    ReplyDelete
  73. Than comes Jay he is a living legend no doubt

    ReplyDelete
  74. Jay can be beat he has so many songs and albums he got more #1 albums than the Beetles........THE BEETLES PEOPLE

    ReplyDelete
  75. I have to give it to Jay being the best he does have alot of great albums and they all went #1

    ReplyDelete
  76. I love ya Kanye but that was a very bold statement about Nicki

    ReplyDelete
  77. Tupac and Jay are my personal favorite rappers but now I have to say Eminem is the greatest

    ReplyDelete
  78. Ms.A who do you think is the best?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Lets see what the human Ipod has to say

    ReplyDelete
  80. Ms.A where are you?

    ReplyDelete
  81. We should have asked her a long time ago

    ReplyDelete
  82. I think its Biggie Ms.A am I right?

    ReplyDelete
  83. EM is the best numbers dont lie

    ReplyDelete
  84. Ms.A where are you?

    ReplyDelete
  85. Pac is the best why are we even talking about this

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'm sorry SAU give me one second...

    ReplyDelete
  87. Tupac could out Rhyme anybody

    ReplyDelete
  88. Ms.A can you come tell these people that Biggie is the best followed by Jay

    ReplyDelete
  89. EM is the greatest look at the album solds and the #1's.Jay just had his first #1 at 40

    ReplyDelete
  90. Ms.A will settle this dont worry numbers dont lie

    ReplyDelete
  91. OK SAU this question s so complex its unreal but I will first say to say that Tupac is overrated is pure bullshit.....In my opinion

    ReplyDelete
  92. I agree he is great and #3 in my book

    ReplyDelete
  93. Tupac and I will say Biggie set the tempo for everyone else to come after so I don't think we can ever say they were overrated because if you look at it if you didn't have BIG would you have Jay-z? and if you didn't have the ruthless mouth of Tupac would you have Eminem?

    ReplyDelete
  94. but now in this era of music that we are in Eminem is it...IN THIS ERA...he can freestyle like noone's business his flow& delivery is unreal he can make a song and a Mixtape back to back and they both sound like completely different artists. So in this era Em has it and then others follow in my opinion but I don't think Em is the best to ever do it.

    ReplyDelete
  95. but like I said this is my opinion only, that doesn't mean its gold or anything because this is a question that will go on forever and no matter how many "Best rapper" countdowns we have someone will always disagree...

    ReplyDelete
  96. If you dont think that he is the best to do it than who is Ms.A?

    ReplyDelete
  97. I agree with Ms.A she made a good point

    ReplyDelete
  98. She gets it because he is not the best to do it

    ReplyDelete
  99. she is right if Tupac wasn't wreckless as hell Eminem wouldn't have a shot good point Ms.A

    ReplyDelete
  100. Who is the best than Ms.A?

    ReplyDelete
  101. The sad part is that there is no way to tell because Pac is dead and I give it to Pac he was ruthless but can he come off on a beat how Em can? I have never heard anyone come off like that

    ReplyDelete
  102. Ms.A who is the best?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Ms.A who is the best?

    ReplyDelete
  104. In my opinion Mr. Shakur was the best to do it he mixed a poetic style and concious rap into something mainstream and never held back with his raps. Some people feel they should censor themselves for the public but if you go into his catalog that man never censored himself. And 'Dear mama' being one of 25 songs that will be added to the National Recording Registry in 2010 that shows a lot you have no choice but to feel that man.

    ReplyDelete
