Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Nicki Minaj Back On Track To Hip-Hop Greatness?

That depends who you ask, but I can tell you this, Nicki sure does have a lot of epic things going on in her life right. Aside from the “American Idol” gig, Nicki is about to be your next huge money-making reality star. The commercials for her three episode special on E! have begun airing, and the theatrics are highly visible. Nicki also mentions Mariah Carey in the commercials, so expect to get some light shed on that whole situation.

But what about Hip-Hop…right? Well, Nicki has just released a new single called “Va Va Voom”. The video was directed by famed Hip-Hop music video director, Hype Williams. I have to admit, I was hopeful that the song and video were going to be more of that Hip-hop Nicki, especially with Hype Williams involved, but after watching the video, that was just wishful thinking on my part. Check out Nicki Minaj’s new video for “Va Va Voom” below:

Unicorns, medieval garb, and sleeping princesses. Did you enjoy that sneak peek into Nicki Minaj’s fairytale fantasy world? She did rap on the track, but sure did a lot of singing, too. I can’t call it, though. Was that Hip-Hop? Is Nicki Minaj back on track to Hip-Hop greatness?
