From the looks of Nicki Minaj’s new video “Your Love” and her recent performances at Hot 97’s Summer Jam and the BET Awards, it seems as if the self-proclaimed rap “Barbie” might have officially toned down her sexed up image. After releasing four mixtapes, two singles, and appearing on a host of album tracks and singles, the leading lady of Young Money Entertainment has flipped her MC persona—again.

The true test of any artist is the ability to take their skill to a level of creativity that has never been reached before. Artist who take pride in their work always want to bring their skill to the next level, they do this by finding more creative way’s to express their craft. Sometimes at the risk of losing fans and enraging critiques, but to them the ultimate goal is growth, to remain stagnant or boring is a sin that can not be committed.
