Talib Kweli: Nicki Minaj’s Ambition Made Her A Star [News]
Rapper Talib Kweli has spoken about Nicki Minaj is a recent interview, saying she has worked hard to get where she is.
The rapper who has just released his album “Gutter Rainbows” spoke about Nicki in an interview with AllHipHop in which he was asked why Nicki had made it so big when her female contemporaries such as Jean Grae are still ‘underground’.
Talib said: “Nicki Minaj is a global star because of Nicki Minaj’s ambition and hustle and drive. It cannot be questioned. Nicki Minaj has been rapping for a long time. She did the whole underground, mixtape circuit for a long time, and she figured out her lane. She created a space that didn’t exist.”
He added: “Whether people like her metaphors or faces she makes, or all that she does, she makes sure that her verse is the most interesting on everything she’s on. Now that’s just her phenomenon.”

Talib Kweli Prepares New Album Gutter Rainbows [Upcoming Releases]
Hip-Hop star Talib Kweli will be releasing a brand new album titled “Gutter Rainbows” which yet has no official release date. Talib Kweli was speaking to XXL Mag, and stated that J.D Salinger’s novel “The Catcher In The Rye” was the inspiration for the title.
“The character actually says ‘gasoline rainbows’ in the book. I was like, ‘Wow.’ I’ve always wanted to call a song ‘Gutter Rainbows’—just because of the rainbows that you see when the oil and the water mix in the gutter—and do a song based on that. But that reference—him noticing the gasoline rainbows in New York City, and just the character’s love for New York City—are what attracted to me to that phrase”.
I’ll be posting any leaked tracks and further news ahead of the Talib Kweli album ahead of the release. Thanks to Sumit @ TheHipHopChronicle
