Seeing Joe stand next to Nicki in that bet freestyle cypher back in 09 and seeing her as a legend now sitting on his couch as the goat hip hop podcaster feels so rewarding and full circle. I love having been around for this whole journey, very nostalgic and beautiful
As a barb I’m so proud of Nicki. To be in this industry for 15 years and still one of the best selling female artist is a win. And with all the negative things it comes with being in the music industry I would’ve said F this I prefer peace! But I love Nicki’s resilience. You can tell she has a passion for rap she actually study hip hop. These new girls just rap for popularity or just something to get them money. But Nicki prefects her craft and takes it serious. I know it’s overwhelming for her with all the constant hate and criticism but she still going strong for her fans because she actually care about us. I hope she never fall out of love with being Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj is irreplaceable, authentic, creative, outspoken, brave, passionate, bold and inspiring.
Unfortunately as a man i can’t fan for Nicki like we did Kim and Foxy Brown- HOWEVER, Every female rapper literally is given 10 hot years! And Within those 10 years they may drop about 3-5 solid albums; with 2 being classics!! Nicki is now on Year 15 and still pumping out music and with the latest being a great body of work and moving NUMBERS over the new girls! It’s time to strategize come up with a plan cos unfortunately Cardi may not be the savior!! She dropped 1 album - 6 years ago!! Where’s #2? Only Lauryn Hill can pull that off!!! I hate to see Nicki going out bad with her personal life and all the other antics but this should set the tone!!!
@@djmetaworldbosswhy do you think like Nicki’s personal life defines her rap career? Young thug and Gunna can have criminal records.Bodies.but that could ever hold back the potential in their careers?
I can watch anything with Nicki. She's intelligent, witty, funny, charismatic, real AF, genuine, unique & interesting. And Joe is such a great interviewer & you can tell they have history, which makes it even better. Much Love to you both!💕💕
The ppl who say all the negative stuff abt this beauty I'm convinced is jealous of her looks, angelic smile, energy, gifted mindset, goals and her status.. I wish Nicki Minaj more success 5x's the hate that she gets💯💯💯
I grew up on Nicki, Riri & Beyoncé I love them all individually. However I love the fact that Nicki & Riri let their personalities show, they speak to the public and have a way of personalizing
What I got from this interview. Nicki M is very articulate and holds meaningful conversations without using all those noises. She’s serious about her craft. Using organized chaos as one of her processes. And, she’s very aware of the good, the bad, the great, and ugly that comes with being a MegaStar. Yes, Mega!
This is why she’s a GOAT. She’s serious about her craft and talent… this ain’t no play play just a money grab for her… that’s the difference. Like her or not SHE’s GOT TALENT and is smart about her business….
Love this comment. Pretty much explains Nicki cuz I KNOW people get annoyed with her when she's doing all those noises. This is really how Nicki actually works!
Joe did his thing with the interviewing process. I love the way he understands the importance of sitting back and just letting people talk. Never once cut Nicki off, didn't try to lead, just let the interview flow. Kudos to Joe for that! I loved when Nicki talked about the skills, pockets, flows, melodies, and everything required to create quality music. Nicki is definitely 1:1 because she cares about the craft and has such a passion and love for her work. Damn, Hip hop went from the most influential genre in music to 40% is crazy!
It is amazing how rough the industry is, and she is able to still be relevant and create more content. Why do the veterans of female rap don't give her the flowers she deserves? I know there are only a handful that actually have done so, but come on, Nicki has survived longer and is successful. Aside from that, she deserves the ongoing success.
Only ten minutes in and noticing immediately how much more comfortable Nicki is in this interview than every other interview I’ve seen of her on this PF2 press run. Joe is light years ahead of everyone else in hip hop media/journalism 🤷🏾♂️
@@jrcolacola Joe might hate the business side of hip hop but this shit is your blood lol. It’s a lifestyle, culture and way of life that Joe most def is a part of. He might not rock with certain artists or songs but he’ll always be a part of the culture. Joe and Nikki are friends, they’re comfortable with each other so it’s easy to do a fly ass interview 🤷🏻♀️
This was soo nostalgic for me. The teenage girl was fanning out listening to Nicki discuss her evolution as an artist. I remember rapping at the lunch table with my friends! That teenage girl is now in her 30's so yes we are grown now. Love, Love, Love this look on your Joe. I love the fit and the chill vibe you were giving. So much respect to you and your craft! Your intentional questions and follow ups were right in the pocket. Very enjoyable and great for the culture. Love and blessings
*She is STILL at the TOP of her game, breaking records. She broke the female rapper curse and is truly blazing her own lane. Can't wait to see how the tour comes out* 🩷‼️
I can't wait either, but as a barb I am let's push and encourage Nikki to add some real choreography and really step her dancing up. I know she can do it she's done it before 🎉❤
@@blairjayelleno we are not. Nicki is unique and gives exactly what's needed from her. If she needed to do all of that every show she would, but she doesn't. We dont need to see her dance her words dance. As a barb you should know this girly
Nicki’s use of different voices to portray different characters and emotions on MONSTER will never be topped by anyone. Going back and forth with herself/characters was perfection

The last Nicki & Joe interview from about a year ago, I thought was one of the best interviews both of them had ever dome. Nicki’s new album Pink Friday 2 is 🔥, not even gonna lie. It’s refreshing to hear some good hip-hop music, where she’s talking about real shit, but also having fun. Great album. She’s proven once again why she is miles ahead of the other girls…. 5th album & still breaking records.
They honestly grew. I’m truly happy to see Joe and Nicki come this far. Idc what anyone says. Growth and maturity is beautiful to see. I do think the public and record labels made so many of her “beefs” worse. Just super happy to see so many full circle moments. I also like Joes questions and how he always just sits there when Roman be showing his ass lol 😂
Yes and even some beefs were fan made or fan exaggerated. I'm not a barb but this woman is a true artist and icon and no one can deny it, even if they dont like her.
Joe doesn't care about the click baity shit, he wants to get to the real, the nitty-gritty, while also making the guest feel welcome and comfortable. It's just a conversation with one of the homies, "in interview form." That's what separates him from the rest. It's authentic. Being someone from the music industry, he understands that importance. You won't find a better interview during her press run for this album. Ps. She's not in her 20s anymore; she don't wanna bring out Roman. She's a whole muva. Lol
I love how Nicki reminded Joe about that the Gatekeeper conversation bc back then he was gaslighting her and making jokes. Now hip hop is down 40% and they are the ones to blame meanwhile The Queen is thriving, happy and proud of her🫶🏾 Congratulations on the album Nicki.
I've grown to appreciate Nicki Minaj and her music a lot more over the years. Say what you want about her but she's proven she's in a different league than all of the female rappers trying to take her spot. Enjoyed this interview and her album both.
I 💯 percent agree with you. Definitely grew to appreciate Nicki’s talent, even more so as these mediocre-at-best female rappers started being praised for their mediocrity🤷🏾♀️
The fact that corporate executives have tried their damn hardest to take her down, sabotage her behind the scenes, orchestra hit pieces over the past years to usher in taIentless trash puppets who don't even write anything like Cardi B (she's not the only one, but she's the biggest of them) is insane.
I love how dynamic this woman is! Even if shes ranting or rattling on you can see the train of thought and that shes clearly a layered and multifaceted person in general ❤
AS A OG BARB I JUST CAN’T STOP SMILING. I’ve grown with this beautiful woman since 07’! We are both now mothers and wives like I’m so proud of my girl.Joe did amazing I knew he had to get a tad bit messy Chile! My girl has been through so much and still she Rises. Her intellect and thought process is so genius. ONIKA ONIKA I LOVE YOU SIS AND I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!
I loved this! Joe did his homework and asked questions to where nicki answered confidently and she was as confortable and open as can be. Great job joe 🎉
What Whitney is to vocalists or Dolly Parton to country or Madonna to pop music, Nicki is that to hiphop. Doesn’t matter what anyone does now, she’ll always be the queen of rap.
I love Nicki Because she isnt afraid to say she is the QUEEN of rap and the best female rapper. All these other rappers scary they wanna come 4 the Queen but scared to go after artists in their own league😅😅😅 They let Cardi bully them but knows Nicki has too much to lose to send goons after them and they are NOT really a threat to her.😂😂
@@sherryhoward7298 I think when you look at people like Whitney Houston or Madonna people respect them because they’re undeniably brilliant at what they do. Nicki’s in the same category regarding hiphop but she only gets respect mostly from her male peers and that’s a weird phenomenon. Diana Ross had the same issue with Motown, she’s one of the biggest selling artists of all time, sold more records than the Beatles in the 60’s yet still gets hate from other female contemporary artists from her own label.
@@jamesconlan56Nicki has NEVER been Queen of anything but gimmicks. She was is and always be a SELL OUT. Tanya’s lyrics are elementary and embarrassing.
Great interview. This is my 3rd or 4th time watching and I’m captivated by Nicki’s transparency, confidence, and knowledge of the industry. She will always have my support 🐥👑👑👑
This is a beautiful interview. Joe asked the right questions and let us hear a side of Nicki we never and dont often see, her talking about the music. We need more of these interviews about artists and their work. Nicki is my fav artiste in the world and watching her grow and conquer everything that is thrown at her makes me believe how Great God is good. She is protected and highly favoured. Queen tings. She looks so beautiful
She’s gonna have so many more fans after these interview because I was never really a fan, but I’m realizing now that she’s so likable. I like this new light hearted personality. It’s humble, confident, friendly and relatable. I wish her lots of happiness and success.
She's always been very outspoken, controversially so especially because she can get loud, direct, cuss people who trash her out and speak honestly on things in the industry that many are afraid to speak on, but she's also always been intelligent, insightful, grounded and in tune with culture.
When Joe touched on the state of hip hop and rappers not being able to rap, man hearing Nicki unapologetically say they can’t ran chills through my body I really felt the seriousness in her saying that cause she ain’t lying.
@@bohlalenchabeleng1370It's primarily the second. One of the main problems is that this era is full of label-fabricated puppets (men and women) who don't really have a passion for or skill and artistry for rap/hip hop but are in it because hip hop is the most popular, successful genre in the mainstream so they're just seeking fabricated hits and fame from it. And record companies are just seeking to exploit as many people as possible as much as they can, so it's a perfect marriage that of course makes them eventually fads.
Been watching & supporting her for 15 years. I’m so proud of how far she’s come. Pink Friday 2 is a phenomenal album. Continue to set the trend and pave the way the way Nicki. We love you
Nicki's interviews with Joe are always very peeled and laid-back you can clearly see she's very comfortable with him unlike most interviews where she has her guard up in her last two interviews with Joe she has no guard up whatsoever she's completely relaxed with him and I think that speaks to more of who he is as an interviewer and also where the relationship currently is compared to the past it's amazing to see the evolution!!!
Wow what an honest & touching interview. Well done to Joe for becoming an expert in his field and allowing Nicki to open up & feel comfortable enough to talk as if she were talking to a close friend. I’m not the biggest Nicki Minaj fan but this was a 10/10 interview. She’s a real one☝🏽
I really really love Joe and Nickis respect and chemistry with each other. Allowing her to express herself freely with no judgment, just pure understanding of her passion.
So I love all 5 albums , but this is how I rank them : 1. Pink Friday ( The production was too immaculate ) 2. Pink Friday 2 ( Perfect : Full circleness ) 3. Queen ( Her lyrical best ) 4. The PinkPrint ( A Masterpiece , but too sad for me 🥹) 5. Pink Friday : Roman Reloaded ( A masterpiece but too loud / too pop ) That is my RANK, I love all of them .
Damn, I feel like we got to see a totally different side of her. You can tell they are really comfortable with each other and it sounds like two friends. I love it. I’ve never seen her so comfortable in an interview and being her true authentic self with her guard down.
This was the best interview thus far that has been done, since this album came out. Shout out to Joe, the questions and flow of the conversation was at an amazing pace.
The interview we needed!! Joe is fair. He knows the art. Nicki is in a great space. We, the fans, love it!! No skips🔥🔥The lyrics, creativity, the fun!!! Really, a masterpiece👏👏Great interview 💜
This is the happiest I’ve seen Nicki in her whole career, she seems so much at peace and you can hear the growth in this interview. Only Joe Budden is able to bring an artist like Nicki to be able to converse openly and freely with no awkwardness, and he’s able to ask questions that truly matter to the hip-hop crowd 👏
I love this for Joe and from Joe. Delve deep and just converse. Calm, collected and clearly just vibing. Wish he had a show on his network where he just does this without "podding", he's really good at this
It's refreshing to hear artist talk about good music. That Bone part.....This album felt nostalgic like going to the record store and copping a cassette tape or CD. Thank you Nicki! Great Job Joe.
I'm not a Barb by a long shot but to watch this entire interview, I felt proud of her. I also kinda felt like a fish out of water when they were discussing her album, because I haven't listened to it one bit. However, it's good to hear her express her creative process for each song. She's got a handle of her craft which is endearing. She's come a long way, and I'm sure she won't stop anytime soon.
She truly writes what she spits and is a true artist, hence why she can break down her songs like this. You don't get this deep knowledge of their craft and able to break it down from many artists today. Not a barb either but for sure respect her artisty.
I always love these conversations with Nicki & Joe. Nicki has always been my favorite MC and artist when it comes to her delivery of her rhymes and the execution of her raps throughout her bodies of work. As for Joe, he's been my favorite personality since the beginning of his podcast in 2015 and I always appreciate his attention to detail when it comes to performing a great show for the fans, whether on stage rapping or on the mic talking. Whenver these two get together, it's a great look into what makes Nicki tick, what makes her smile and what makes her continue to shine throughout the dark times in her life. Plus, it brings so much joy as a Nicki fan to see her legacy be praised by someone cut from that same cloth like Joe, which is why their conversations will always be my favorite. Peace, love and blessings from NYC to Joe & Nicki, thank y'all
I'm so glad Joe & Nicki sat down for another iconic interview. I appreciate that Joe made this interview about the music bc other platforms make it just about shade, etc.
@@D-is4-DAWGWho are these “other podcasters” you speak of? Where can I find them? My TH-cam only has Joe aka PodFather, Joe Buddens, #1, Mr Pump It Up…🤣😭✊🏾
This interview had my entire focus literally found a quiet space to really receive every single thing watching her body language towards each question , her intelligence is why I’m obsessed with her as well . She know how to articulately speak on everything.and also just her energy here . So dope real and just refreshing. I knew everybody was related to COD . I wish i would’ve tweeted it when i had the chance because she definitely would’ve interacted. I love this Nicki she’s overcome so much losing her father really hurt her but she chose to be vulnerable with us instead of shutting us out of that time in her life . Vogue with papa bear and the fact that Ana asked to have him . Omg that opportunity was big for Nicki so just imagine when he’s knowledgeable of something so groundbreaking. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Oh i love how she didn’t shy away from the “shady” questions and was blunt and direct . I love her so much i can’t wait to be in gag city in March. 💕💕💕
Joe and Nicki have a great chemistry. Nicki minaj isn't only a top tier lyricist and respected M C. but very intelligent and smart. Thats why she's thrived for so long in the industry. I love PF2, it has hits. And the fact that she released it without any video or lead single makes me respect her more. No gimmicks, huge budget, controversy...just allowing people enjoy the album and songs. She's so ahead of her time. When Nicki Minaj retires, female rap will be dead. Kudos to Joe and the team for putting out this educating, entertaining and eye opening interview, great job!!
You can see the growth of Nicki sense their last episode a year ago & it’s that humanistic characteristic that makes a great artist even greater. Joe is unprecedented himself. The vibe of this entire conversation is noteworthy 📝
I feel like some people couldnt get into nicki album because they used to hearing these popcorn snippets. And nicki can use her WORDS to reel you in. We really need more artists like this in the world. And we need TO SUPPORt more artists. Nicki dont stop making music we def need more lol
As a mother, everything Nicki expressed about the first track is so relatable - it is all so scary and help is so appreciated with a new baby. Plus navigating so many blessings and heartaches during this period. Perseverance. Congrats on everything. ❤
I love how thoughtful and considerate Nicki is when speaking and being conscious of her positioning and optics. She really has shown a shit Ton of growth and her new album is her best yet! Keep it up Nicki!
This so far is the interview that really made me want to listen to her album. I love listening to a body of work not just hit. Pink Friday is no skip album and because of this interview I can listen to PF2 with a better understanding the passion behind each song. 💕
I love this interview soo much, it just says everything that needs to be said, by far my favourite from all the ones out for Pf2, all the questions he ask are just spot on, and they have an amazing dynamic
47:00 definitely my favorite part of the Interview! Her talking about her past Albums/songs; what she liked and didn't like, identifying her growth and acknowledging what she got wrong what she got right and how to tie all that she learned with her last albums together into a phenomenal piece of work that we call today Pink Friday 2
Wonderful interview. Nicki’s ability to reach her fan base all these years has truly paid off for her. In 2018 during the Nicki hate train it was unable to work bc the Barbz stood by her. Now 2023, Pink Friday 2 is a wonderful album- gospel, rap, pop-rap, reggae, etc! 10/10. Congrats Nicki & Joe 💜
Nicki can never be too pop. I feel like she opened a lane that mixed rapping and pop PERFECTLY. I would love more pop infusion. Songs like "Super Bass" and "Pound The Alarm" are literally some of my faves.
Just a few minutes into this interview and it's a REAL FINGGGGG INTERVIEW!!! Thank you for asking common sense questions and getting deep @joebudden great job Sir! Thank you for highlighting the relevant sh*t❤
Well this NICKI I love !! Hearing her talk about how much more comfortable she is and seeing how comfortable she is is very refreshing ! This interview confirms for me why it took so long to like her ! She wasn’t always doing things she wanted to do but did it for the fans ……it felt forced to me and her admitting it just showed me her greatness!! GREAT INTERVIEW!
Hearing Nicki say she put out certain music she didn’t love 49:22 makes me feel seen. As an artist you create something and the more you focus on it u pick it apart and before you know it you ruined a perfect piece because you judged it. It’s takes so much confidence and patience to be an artist. She didn’t love every song but she put it out for us to love it and she recognized that her fans loves things she doesn’t love and she still produces the music for the love of her fans. Nicki is the realest fr
I'm not a Nicki fan. I don't intentionally try to go find her albums or music. However, for some reason I clicked on her new album just to skim and see what it sounded like, and I was blown away. 100 percent honest I was not checking for Nicki because I am not her audience, but I found a lot of music on that album was awesome. Makes me want to go back and listen to more of her songs. As an example, the song Just The Memories on the new album sounds really good. Congrats to her.
I kinda feel the same as I fell in love with Nicki when she first came out but quickly dropped off when she switched up and became the Lady Gaga of rap. I’ve always respected her artistry and thought she was a true lyricist but could never bring myself to listen to a whole album of. Admittedly, not even the first Pink Friday🫣. I think I really only listened to PF2 bc my niece had it playing. And baby, I’m in love 😍! Not sure if it’s the samples (nostalgia) coupled with her lyrics but I’ve been getting my entire life to this album. This was definitely a great body of work…
This is the first interview where the host actually thoroughly understands Nicki’s mission with this album. I thought Queen was the best of all time but PFII ties it.🎉🎉 Queen of Rap🎉🎉
This was such a great interview. Both of you did amazing, I was completely engaged the whole time and it’s very rare that I am. Questions 10/10 and her responses were 20/10. Nicki Minaj has inspired me so much more just through me watching this ❤️❤️ I’ll love her forever
This interview gives alot. It especially highlights the mutual respect between these two but add to Joe's take on how he feels about not rapping anymore. When an artist as big as Nicki Minaj acknowledges him as a rapper you can tell he gets more relaxed because it confirms that even though he is clowned as a failure he has the right people who acknowledge that he got busy when he did rap and it doesn't matter anymore to him when you got the right people giving him the nod. This is a very relatable interview and how shown how Joe has masterclassed his job and what he brings to not only.the podcast space but now the interview segment. You can see the vision to become like a Gail King level interviewer. If he ever gets that Jay-z interview he desires he is out of here.
Wow. Nicki you are absolutely amazing, and Joe thank you for this. I wait for in depth interviews like this to learn everything i can. Makes me respect, understand and appreciate the album 1000000x so much more! Queen Nicki FKN Minaj. I can’t wait to see her on tour for my first concert EVER in Ohio in April!!!!! 💕🎀 and yes i saved it for the queen at 26 yrs old😭👑
I’ve never thought of gatekeeping as keeping the standards high. Any profession worthy of notoriety and respect has gatekeeping from this perspective. This shows Nicki Minaj is just serious about the art and culture of hip hop.
omg this interview just made me feel so good. She seems so happy and u can tell Joe is a real fan because of questions. like these are the questions we would ask.
Joe is definitely the perfect interviewer for Nicki. They have chemistry, and he also understands the craft.
He also isn’t afraid to challenge her which I really respect
Trueeee true✨

I know there are only a handful that actually have done so, but come on, Nicki has survived longer and is successful. Aside from that, she deserves the ongoing success.

Only ten minutes in and noticing immediately how much more comfortable Nicki is in this interview than every other interview I’ve seen of her on this PF2 press run. Joe is light years ahead of everyone else in hip hop media/journalism 🤷🏾♂️
That's because he is an emcee himself. Joe truly loves and understands the craft, he lives and breathes hip-hop!
Joe and Nikki have known and talked to each other since before 05’ so no doubt they’ve grown more comfortable talking.

This was soo nostalgic for me. The teenage girl was fanning out listening to Nicki discuss her evolution as an artist. I remember rapping at the lunch table with my friends! That teenage girl is now in her 30's so yes we are grown now. Love, Love, Love this look on your Joe. I love the fit and the chill vibe you were giving. So much respect to you and your craft! Your intentional questions and follow ups were right in the pocket. Very enjoyable and great for the culture. Love and blessings
Nostalgia at its finest
I agree
Yessss we in our 30s now crazy
@@DaeFranklin damn you bad AF 30s is crazy 🤯🤯🤯
Baby! I had glued in pink tracks. With the juicy couture jumpsuit and the ipod.
The best era ever.

I can't wait either, but as a barb I am let's push and encourage Nikki to add some real choreography and really step her dancing up. I know she can do it she's done it before 🎉❤

@@blairjayelleno we are not. Nicki is unique and gives exactly what's needed from her. If she needed to do all of that every show she would, but she doesn't. We dont need to see her dance her words dance. As a barb you should know this girly
Doesnt change the fact she a weirdo
Nicki’s use of different voices to portray different characters and emotions on MONSTER will never be topped by anyone. Going back and forth with herself/characters was perfection
Male or female-best rap feature of all time. 💯

GOTTA BE A BARB!!! Thanks for this!!!!🦄🦄
The last Nicki & Joe interview from about a year ago, I thought was one of the best interviews both of them had ever dome. Nicki’s new album Pink Friday 2 is 🔥, not even gonna lie. It’s refreshing to hear some good hip-hop music, where she’s talking about real shit, but also having fun. Great album. She’s proven once again why she is miles ahead of the other girls…. 5th album & still breaking records.
Facts
Period. ❤
I would say she's miles ahead of almost everyone. I'm not a barb, it's just my opinion.
Honestly by the 10 min mark I had left the interview to listen to the album.
Agreed
No one, at all, can rap like Nicki. She is the best lyrically.
Remy ?
The Queen hands down then and now 🔥
@@yngsportsandhiphopchannel7918who? 🤣
?
No one.
They honestly grew. I’m truly happy to see Joe and Nicki come this far. Idc what anyone says. Growth and maturity is beautiful to see. I do think the public and record labels made so many of her “beefs” worse. Just super happy to see so many full circle moments.
I also like Joes questions and how he always just sits there when Roman be showing his ass lol 😂
❤❤❤ ❤❤
Very well said! ❤️
Yes and even some beefs were fan made or fan exaggerated. I'm not a barb but this woman is a true artist and icon and no one can deny it, even if they dont like her.
Joe doesn't care about the click baity shit, he wants to get to the real, the nitty-gritty, while also making the guest feel welcome and comfortable. It's just a conversation with one of the homies, "in interview form." That's what separates him from the rest. It's authentic. Being someone from the music industry, he understands that importance. You won't find a better interview during her press run for this album.
Ps. She's not in her 20s anymore; she don't wanna bring out Roman. She's a whole muva. Lol
Agreed & Yessss to the P.S.
Factsss💅😊
Spot on
And we are her sons so
Brilliant you hit the nail on the head!! Exactly what we need to see!
I love how Nicki reminded Joe about that the Gatekeeper conversation bc back then he was gaslighting her and making jokes. Now hip hop is down 40% and they are the ones to blame meanwhile The Queen is thriving, happy and proud of her🫶🏾 Congratulations on the album Nicki.
A lot of people don’t understand the dynamic here. A interview should feel like a conversation. Joe executed that flawlessly. Excellent interview!
....maybe Nicki humbled joe 😂😂 she gave him so many lashings he finally understood its good to do business with Nicki in interview mood
It is not that deep
Loved it.
@@pareeshaslaughter6798 FACTS!!! Nicki is sensitive af!!! Gotta walk on egg shells with her or she'll let you have it!!
The interview I was waiting for. Everything else hasn’t been an interview so thank you Joe. Please do more of these for Hip Hop
They could never make me hate Nicki! You can’t deny her talent. She’s such a sagg I love her assertiveness.
I've grown to appreciate Nicki Minaj and her music a lot more over the years. Say what you want about her but she's proven she's in a different league than all of the female rappers trying to take her spot. Enjoyed this interview and her album both.
Lmaooooo. No one is try a take her spot. Yall be sounding wild
I 💯 percent agree with you. Definitely grew to appreciate Nicki’s talent, even more so as these mediocre-at-best female rappers started being praised for their mediocrity🤷🏾♀️
@@shayy4280 of course not . For one they don't work hard enough 😅
The fact that corporate executives have tried their damn hardest to take her down, sabotage her behind the scenes, orchestra hit pieces over the past years to usher in taIentless trash puppets who don't even write anything like Cardi B (she's not the only one, but she's the biggest of them) is insane.
She does multiple flows and voices in her normal conversation. She’s always rapping. It’s beautiful.
It sounds ridiculous 😂
@@NeeNee_B.No she is an ex theatre kid she is creative and that’s why she wins, she dares to be fun and dosent care what others think of her doing so.
@itsbrooklynbabyyy I like how you put that.💎
@@NeeNee_B.it's not it's how she raps 🌚. It's ridiculous yet here you are
@@NeeNee_B.you’re like 65 🌚 his comment went over your head
I love how dynamic this woman is! Even if shes ranting or rattling on you can see the train of thought and that shes clearly a layered and multifaceted person in general ❤
AS A OG BARB I JUST CAN’T STOP SMILING. I’ve grown with this beautiful woman since 07’! We are both now mothers and wives like I’m so proud of my girl.Joe did amazing I knew he had to get a tad bit messy Chile! My girl has been through so much and still she Rises. Her intellect and thought process is so genius. ONIKA ONIKA I LOVE YOU SIS AND I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!
I been w her since 07 as well! An OG barb
I loved this! Joe did his homework and asked questions to where nicki answered confidently and she was as confortable and open as can be. Great job joe 🎉
This is Joe's field.
What Whitney is to vocalists or Dolly Parton to country or Madonna to pop music, Nicki is that to hiphop. Doesn’t matter what anyone does now, she’ll always be the queen of rap.
I love Nicki Because she isnt afraid to say she is the QUEEN of rap and the best female rapper. All these other rappers scary they wanna come 4 the Queen but scared to go after artists in their own league😅😅😅 They let Cardi bully them but knows Nicki has too much to lose to send goons after them and they are NOT really a threat to her.😂😂
@@sherryhoward7298 I think when you look at people like Whitney Houston or Madonna people respect them because they’re undeniably brilliant at what they do. Nicki’s in the same category regarding hiphop but she only gets respect mostly from her male peers and that’s a weird phenomenon. Diana Ross had the same issue with Motown, she’s one of the biggest selling artists of all time, sold more records than the Beatles in the 60’s yet still gets hate from other female contemporary artists from her own label.
@@jamesconlan56Nicki has NEVER been Queen of anything but gimmicks. She was is and always be a SELL OUT. Tanya’s lyrics are elementary and embarrassing.
@@Zzoarqg Sell out to what, being successful? She’s done nothing that her contemporaries haven’t.
@@Zzoarqg Also if you think her lyrics are elementary you’re clearly not a rap fan.
Great interview. This is my 3rd or 4th time watching and I’m captivated by Nicki’s transparency, confidence, and knowledge of the industry. She will always have my support 🐥👑👑👑
This is a beautiful interview. Joe asked the right questions and let us hear a side of Nicki we never and dont often see, her talking about the music. We need more of these interviews about artists and their work. Nicki is my fav artiste in the world and watching her grow and conquer everything that is thrown at her makes me believe how Great God is good. She is protected and highly favoured. Queen tings. She looks so beautiful
She’s gonna have so many more fans after these interview because I was never really a fan, but I’m realizing now that she’s so likable. I like this new light hearted personality. It’s humble, confident, friendly and relatable. I wish her lots of happiness and success.
She’s always been this way, people let the media feed them a narrative and they eat it up .
...one month later 🍍
@@bdwatson814and you came back to an old video to an old comment to hate 😂😂😂 that’s really pathetic
She's always been very outspoken, controversially so especially because she can get loud, direct, cuss people who trash her out and speak honestly on things in the industry that many are afraid to speak on, but she's also always been intelligent, insightful, grounded and in tune with culture.
When Joe touched on the state of hip hop and rappers not being able to rap, man hearing Nicki unapologetically say they can’t ran chills through my body I really felt the seriousness in her saying that cause she ain’t lying.
Like the labels don't allow them to rap or they don't have the skills to rap?
@@bohlalenchabeleng1370they ain’t got the skill baby!
lol 😭😩🙏🏾
@@bohlalenchabeleng1370It's primarily the second. One of the main problems is that this era is full of label-fabricated puppets (men and women) who don't really have a passion for or skill and artistry for rap/hip hop but are in it because hip hop is the most popular, successful genre in the mainstream so they're just seeking fabricated hits and fame from it. And record companies are just seeking to exploit as many people as possible as much as they can, so it's a perfect marriage that of course makes them eventually fads.
Been watching & supporting her for 15 years. I’m so proud of how far she’s come. Pink Friday 2 is a phenomenal album. Continue to set the trend and pave the way the way Nicki. We love you
Period
ur proud she married a r@pist & that she has spent $$$ to harass the woman her man r@ped?
Nicki's interviews with Joe are always very peeled and laid-back you can clearly see she's very comfortable with him unlike most interviews where she has her guard up in her last two interviews with Joe she has no guard up whatsoever she's completely relaxed with him and I think that speaks to more of who he is as an interviewer and also where the relationship currently is compared to the past it's amazing to see the evolution!!!
🔥 Interview 👏🏾
❤ your channel too❤
Facts
Wow what an honest & touching interview. Well done to Joe for becoming an expert in his field and allowing Nicki to open up & feel comfortable enough to talk as if she were talking to a close friend. I’m not the biggest Nicki Minaj fan but this was a 10/10 interview. She’s a real one☝🏽
I really really love Joe and Nickis respect and chemistry with each other.
Allowing her to express herself freely with no judgment, just pure understanding of her passion.
I always love watching a Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden interview. They always get it together. This interview was so dope. I'm so proud of Nicki.
So I love all 5 albums , but this is how I rank them :
1. Pink Friday ( The production was too immaculate )
2. Pink Friday 2 ( Perfect : Full circleness )
3. Queen ( Her lyrical best )
4. The PinkPrint ( A Masterpiece , but too sad for me 🥹)
5. Pink Friday : Roman Reloaded ( A masterpiece but too loud / too pop )
That is my RANK, I love all of them .
Damn, I feel like we got to see a totally different side of her. You can tell they are really comfortable with each other and it sounds like two friends. I love it. I’ve never seen her so comfortable in an interview and being her true authentic self with her guard down.
I love how Joe actively listens & creates space for guests to talk. One of the best host ever.
very little to no interrupting. love these two together
This was the best interview thus far that has been done, since this album came out. Shout out to Joe, the questions and flow of the conversation was at an amazing pace.
I love her take on the current state of rap. It’s no gatekeepers, no one care about the music because they’re “eating” and the genre is over saturated
The interview we needed!! Joe is fair. He knows the art. Nicki is in a great space. We, the fans, love it!! No skips🔥🔥The lyrics, creativity, the fun!!! Really, a masterpiece👏👏Great interview 💜
She’s so intelligent. She KNOWS her fanbase. I love this interview. Every question A1
I genuinely love when Joe interviews Nicki, you can tell she’s completely comfortable in his presence. Such a good interview.
This is the happiest I’ve seen Nicki in her whole career, she seems so much at peace and you can hear the growth in this interview. Only Joe Budden is able to bring an artist like Nicki to be able to converse openly and freely with no awkwardness, and he’s able to ask questions that truly matter to the hip-hop crowd 👏
I love this for Joe and from Joe. Delve deep and just converse. Calm, collected and clearly just vibing. Wish he had a show on his network where he just does this without "podding", he's really good at this
He been doing these type of interviews, check out his network.... they're there!
It's refreshing to hear artist talk about good music. That Bone part.....This album felt nostalgic like going to the record store and copping a cassette tape or CD. Thank you Nicki! Great Job Joe.
Pure & authentic … it’s very rare that she’s this vulnerable in her interviews. Love it ❤️✨
I'm not a Barb by a long shot but to watch this entire interview, I felt proud of her. I also kinda felt like a fish out of water when they were discussing her album, because I haven't listened to it one bit. However, it's good to hear her express her creative process for each song. She's got a handle of her craft which is endearing. She's come a long way, and I'm sure she won't stop anytime soon.
Right, but I would like to hear her music evolve to where she is in life now.
She truly writes what she spits and is a true artist, hence why she can break down her songs like this. You don't get this deep knowledge of their craft and able to break it down from many artists today. Not a barb either but for sure respect her artisty.
@@fah232 She literally talks about all of those things.
@@fah232 clearly you aren't listening
Well have you listened to it yet?
I always love these conversations with Nicki & Joe. Nicki has always been my favorite MC and artist when it comes to her delivery of her rhymes and the execution of her raps throughout her bodies of work. As for Joe, he's been my favorite personality since the beginning of his podcast in 2015 and I always appreciate his attention to detail when it comes to performing a great show for the fans, whether on stage rapping or on the mic talking. Whenver these two get together, it's a great look into what makes Nicki tick, what makes her smile and what makes her continue to shine throughout the dark times in her life. Plus, it brings so much joy as a Nicki fan to see her legacy be praised by someone cut from that same cloth like Joe, which is why their conversations will always be my favorite. Peace, love and blessings from NYC to Joe & Nicki, thank y'all
😢I shed a tear when she was talking about her father
I love this woman ❤
I'm so glad Joe & Nicki sat down for another iconic interview. I appreciate that Joe made this interview about the music bc other platforms make it just about shade, etc.
Joe really fed the streets this entire month with these drops no other Podcaster is doing this give this man his props!
No one noticed there were other podcasts out tell them get more views
@@D-is4-DAWGwe found the Joe hater !
@@D-is4-DAWGWho are these “other podcasters” you speak of? Where can I find them? My TH-cam only has Joe aka PodFather, Joe Buddens, #1, Mr Pump It Up…🤣😭✊🏾
Love hearing her speak, especially about her creative process. Hopefully the documentary actually comes out this time for that exact reason
This album has been on repeat, Nicki’s passion for rap always shows through the music! It’s nice to see her still come up with new material that’s 🔥
This interview had my entire focus literally found a quiet space to really receive every single thing watching her body language towards each question , her intelligence is why I’m obsessed with her as well . She know how to articulately speak on everything.and also just her energy here . So dope real and just refreshing. I knew everybody was related to COD . I wish i would’ve tweeted it when i had the chance because she definitely would’ve interacted. I love this Nicki she’s overcome so much losing her father really hurt her but she chose to be vulnerable with us instead of shutting us out of that time in her life . Vogue with papa bear and the fact that Ana asked to have him . Omg that opportunity was big for Nicki so just imagine when he’s knowledgeable of something so groundbreaking. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Oh i love how she didn’t shy away from the “shady” questions and was blunt and direct . I love her so much i can’t wait to be in gag city in March. 💕💕💕
Joe and Nicki have a great chemistry. Nicki minaj isn't only a top tier lyricist and respected M C. but very intelligent and smart. Thats why she's thrived for so long in the industry. I love PF2, it has hits. And the fact that she released it without any video or lead single makes me respect her more. No gimmicks, huge budget, controversy...just allowing people enjoy the album and songs. She's so ahead of her time.
When Nicki Minaj retires, female rap will be dead.
Kudos to Joe and the team for putting out this educating, entertaining and eye opening interview, great job!!
What an incredible interview, Nicki is so comfortable with Joe and we feel it ! Nicki is so genuine and real with her thoughts!!
Round of applause great interview I’m only 30 minutes in and it’s making me want to listen to the album. S/o to Joe
18-19 minutes in and same.
You can see the growth of Nicki sense their last episode a year ago & it’s that humanistic characteristic that makes a great artist even greater. Joe is unprecedented himself. The vibe of this entire conversation is noteworthy 📝
I feel like some people couldnt get into nicki album because they used to hearing these popcorn snippets. And nicki can use her WORDS to reel you in. We really need more artists like this in the world. And we need TO SUPPORt more artists. Nicki dont stop making music we def need more lol
Joe keeps setting the bar with the dope interviews!
I can tell she's a deep thinker... she sometimes has a hard time articulating her thoughts. Dope interview!!!
Nicki’s comments on the current state of Hip Hop as a whole is worth watching this interview…Salute! 💯 Great job…
I love how much authentic she is towards music, Are you gone already is such an emotional song I've heard in a long time ❤ kuddos to her
As a mother, everything Nicki expressed about the first track is so relatable - it is all so scary and help is so appreciated with a new baby. Plus navigating so many blessings and heartaches during this period. Perseverance. Congrats on everything. ❤
I love how thoughtful and considerate Nicki is when speaking and being conscious of her positioning and optics. She really has shown a shit Ton of growth and her new album is her best yet! Keep it up Nicki!
This interview made me like Nicki so much more she was so vulnerable wow. Good job Joe
Wow nicki made me cry over the story of her dad. RIP to our dads.
This so far is the interview that really made me want to listen to her album. I love listening to a body of work not just hit. Pink Friday is no skip album and because of this interview I can listen to PF2 with a better understanding the passion behind each song. 💕
i rlly love listening to nicki talk, she's so intelligent and u can tell how much thought and effort she puts into her work. she's very inspiring.
I love this interview soo much, it just says everything that needs to be said, by far my favourite from all the ones out for Pf2, all the questions he ask are just spot on, and they have an amazing dynamic
Joe came thru with a dope Christmas gift💗 Great interview.
47:00 definitely my favorite part of the Interview! Her talking about her past Albums/songs; what she liked and didn't like, identifying her growth and acknowledging what she got wrong what she got right and how to tie all that she learned with her last albums together into a phenomenal piece of work that we call today Pink Friday 2
She grew so much in the last 5 years and went through a lot of major changes in her life. She put it all in the music and it shows
Wonderful interview. Nicki’s ability to reach her fan base all these years has truly paid off for her. In 2018 during the Nicki hate train it was unable to work bc the Barbz stood by her. Now 2023, Pink Friday 2 is a wonderful album- gospel, rap, pop-rap, reggae, etc! 10/10. Congrats Nicki & Joe 💜
Nicki can never be too pop. I feel like she opened a lane that mixed rapping and pop PERFECTLY. I would love more pop infusion. Songs like "Super Bass" and "Pound The Alarm" are literally some of my faves.
Just a few minutes into this interview and it's a REAL FINGGGGG INTERVIEW!!! Thank you for asking common sense questions and getting deep @joebudden great job Sir! Thank you for highlighting the relevant sh*t❤
Well this NICKI I love !! Hearing her talk about how much more comfortable she is and seeing how comfortable she is is very refreshing ! This interview confirms for me why it took so long to like her ! She wasn’t always doing things she wanted to do but did it for the fans ……it felt forced to me and her admitting it just showed me her greatness!! GREAT INTERVIEW!
This is the type of interview I’ve been waiting for. Real rap talk! Gotta love the Queen!💕
Joe ain’t missed in a long time. Hats off. Thanks for the content and inspiration 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah he should take that hat off!
This doesn’t feel like a interview..it feels like two friends catching up during the holidays..i lobe this
She speaking facts. She shutting that industry watered down music ALL THE WAY DOWN. Yall bishes is WACK😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love her so much. She's so well spoken and expressive too!
Hearing Nicki say she put out certain music she didn’t love 49:22 makes me feel seen. As an artist you create something and the more you focus on it u pick it apart and before you know it you ruined a perfect piece because you judged it. It’s takes so much confidence and patience to be an artist. She didn’t love every song but she put it out for us to love it and she recognized that her fans loves things she doesn’t love and she still produces the music for the love of her fans. Nicki is the realest fr
I'm not a Nicki fan. I don't intentionally try to go find her albums or music. However, for some reason I clicked on her new album just to skim and see what it sounded like, and I was blown away. 100 percent honest I was not checking for Nicki because I am not her audience, but I found a lot of music on that album was awesome. Makes me want to go back and listen to more of her songs. As an example, the song Just The Memories on the new album sounds really good. Congrats to her.
That's great. You should really tune into her recent station head. Or times she's sharing how she's feeling. You really understand her music more. ❤
@@MrLLLisLiving Will do. I like how the Barbs represent too lol. I'm glad I didn't say anything slick cause yall were ready lol. Respect.
I kinda feel the same as I fell in love with Nicki when she first came out but quickly dropped off when she switched up and became the Lady Gaga of rap. I’ve always respected her artistry and thought she was a true lyricist but could never bring myself to listen to a whole album of. Admittedly, not even the first Pink Friday🫣. I think I really only listened to PF2 bc my niece had it playing. And baby, I’m in love 😍! Not sure if it’s the samples (nostalgia) coupled with her lyrics but I’ve been getting my entire life to this album. This was definitely a great body of work…
Nicki’s album is fire 🔥 every track is a hit! Nicki did her thing and I am so proud of her. Joe did his thing with this interview.
This is the first interview where the host actually thoroughly understands Nicki’s mission with this album. I thought Queen was the best of all time but PFII ties it.🎉🎉 Queen of Rap🎉🎉
This was such a great interview. Both of you did amazing, I was completely engaged the whole time and it’s very rare that I am. Questions 10/10 and her responses were 20/10. Nicki Minaj has inspired me so much more just through me watching this ❤️❤️ I’ll love her forever
This is by far one of my fave interviews with Nicki. Shes so real and seems very comfortable with Joe. I love the vibe ❤
This interview gives alot. It especially highlights the mutual respect between these two but add to Joe's take on how he feels about not rapping anymore. When an artist as big as Nicki Minaj acknowledges him as a rapper you can tell he gets more relaxed because it confirms that even though he is clowned as a failure he has the right people who acknowledge that he got busy when he did rap and it doesn't matter anymore to him when you got the right people giving him the nod. This is a very relatable interview and how shown how Joe has masterclassed his job and what he brings to not only.the podcast space but now the interview segment. You can see the vision to become like a Gail King level interviewer. If he ever gets that Jay-z interview he desires he is out of here.
Real rappers know Joe is a master spitter
Nicki is the blueprint, the pinkprint, the standard, the example!
“Everybody eating right, then eventually just gonna be a big pile of shit right” that is a fire quote and thanks for years of bars Nikki Minaj
Wow. Nicki you are absolutely amazing, and Joe thank you for this. I wait for in depth interviews like this to learn everything i can. Makes me respect, understand and appreciate the album 1000000x so much more! Queen Nicki FKN Minaj. I can’t wait to see her on tour for my first concert EVER in Ohio in April!!!!! 💕🎀 and yes i saved it for the queen at 26 yrs old😭👑
I’ve never thought of gatekeeping as keeping the standards high. Any profession worthy of notoriety and respect has gatekeeping from this perspective. This shows Nicki Minaj is just serious about the art and culture of hip hop.
Exactly
omg this interview just made me feel so good. She seems so happy and u can tell Joe is a real fan because of questions. like these are the questions we would ask.
Smart of joe to drop the interview on Christmas 🎄 ❤ great work
I need more Nicki Joe content! I love that you can clearly see this is a safe space for her. ❤️
Joe is such a Barb and I love it!! Best interview yet…he asked a lot of amazing questions 🦄🦄🎀🎀💖💖
I really like Joe’s outfit. It’s giving early 2000s neo-soul.
