Nicki Minaj speaks on her place in hip hop:
“What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is that when you hear Nicki Minaj spit. My pop music made me have to retell my story, my credibility as an MC. I never thought I would have to explain that. I thought it was so evident that I belonged here [in hip-hop]” – Carrie Battan, FADER
