Rap's queen reaches end of her reign


 

 

You wonder how it came to this: how a razor-tongued talent once among rap's most revered names, able to straddle gleaming pop on smashes such as Starships and snarling trap on tracks such as Only, stooped to offering two-for-one tickets to her first London show in years, due to slow sales. Tonight's disjointed drag of a performance suggests it is not all down to the bad PR of her beef with Cardi, US rap's new national treasure. After a blistering first 15 minutes that peaks with fiery female masturbation anthem Feeling Myself, things starts to sag as her neon-pink, chameleonic hip-pop gives way to lengthy sections devoted to ballads like Grand Piano, mimed from behind a veil, and EDM experiments such as Pound the Alarm.

 

 

But by the time she closes with 2011's Super Bass to a depleting room (she went on stage an hour late, and last trains beckon), the sugar rush has long since faded.

Im in tears. Not the girls pumping out the venue before her biggest hit. 

[Vonc2002]

Damn remember when i was amongst the first to say she was DONE? 

[MelMel]

no

[CHOKE]

two other shows on this tour have been pulled already, including one in Bordeaux, where angry fans erupted in chants for rival rapper Cardi B after Minaj cancelled minutes before stage time, citing "technical reasons".

[CHOKE]

When she does interact with the crowd, it is to share Mary Poppins-like impressions of Londoners, enquire about which men present have "a giant dick", and fire subtle barbs at a certain Bronx-born nemesis ("Any of you know someone who copies everything you do all the time?")

[CHOKE]

At her best, hits such as Anaconda fizz like popping candy, delivered while she is slouched on the ground with a wild-eyed grin like Alice in Wonderland's Cheshire Cat by way of Cleopatra.

wth man

[...my little hiatus]

GYHHGHJJJHGFFDD

Oh no

[Lazarus]

Damn.

[Hatsumomo]

Jesus

[❄️☃️🌨� Shuji Feels Different 🌨�☃️❄️]

I fucking LOVE British humour

[Buy The Stars✨]

I'll wait till she comes to the states.  Artists always go to Europe first sometimes to get the kinks worked out.  If her tour sucks in person I'll be the first to admit it
