I posted in here and had no clue who they were. I've heard of Lady Gaga, but couldn't name a song or point her out in a lineup. Iggy Azalea, definitely have never heard of her before today.

Good God. I didn't know this chick until today but I'm never gonna forget her now.
But you've heard of Nicki Minaj?

lol nicki made a speech about succeeding in a male dominated world and literally two seconds later she throws the only other popular female rapper under the bus.
Bravo.
Bravo.
Same as what I said about Lady Gaga would apply here.
It's crazy how quickly you lose touch with this stuff as you get older. My time is occupied by work, sports and family.
Heck, I'm even caught off guard by movie releases these days, which was unthinkable 10 years ago!

So, you know who one of the girls are.
I didn't ask if Starships was in your Top 25 Most Played on iTunes.
This is the real sad thing.

You might want to rethin that name before going to twitter.
Was there a time when Nicky Minaj was not black?
She didn't name any names though. She just said she writes her music and then said "no shade" to follow it.
Working title. All I could think of. Probably not the best choice to be honest lol
That's insane, wouldn't make sitting down a bit uncomfortable?

It's kind of getting to the point of ridiculousness lately. Every thread that involves females ends up being about how they look, comparisons to other women and inevitably pictures of their ass. It's like every thread is full of under sexed teen boys, desperate to impress their mates about how they'd fuck ten women at one time.
If you want to make a thread for posting pictures of beautiful women be my guest, but every thread is ending up that way and it's really shitty, especially for the few female members who hang around.
breh
they both sell sex appeal so its entirely fair game. its not like we're comparing presidential candidates here.

uh what? both Nicki and Iggy have careers based on catchy beats and sex appeal, why is talking about their looks and bodies invalid? these are women who go on stage and twerk in skin tight pants, or sometimes no pants lol; they sell sex, nothing wrong with discussing that aspect of their music. also many people posting in this thread aren't actual fans of either artist, with some people never having heard a song by either, so going off looks is all that they can do with a thread like this. it has nothung to do with demeaning women, if you want we can make a Trey Songz versus Tyrese thread lol, ill be all up in that tgread posring pics. dont be so offended by people who appreciate the human body, clearly Nicki and Iggy are very comfortable with showing theirs off.

I was going to say something similar to his post but then I realized that their success depended heavily on sex appeal, as you stated. There is no way in hell I would have just watched the music video for "Work" had it not featured Iggy's inhuman curves.

Thank you. I didn't want to say it because I know I'd probably be jumped on. But the point of this thread was about the talent or lack of talent Nicki was throwing shade to. Every single time a thread opens up about female pop stars, the conversation completely dismisses the topic to engage in pissing contest on who looks better, which body part everyone wants to drool over and then ultimately, without everyone consciously knowing it, at the same time putting down another beautiful women over another beautiful women over preferences and all that other bullshit. It's so damn annoying...

I'm editing your quote because I don't really have a response either way to the rest of your point, but I wouldn't say that the topic was about talent per say. It's about bravado more than anything because even if Nicki wrote every single lyric to every single song.. she's never had a chart topper, so it doesn't represent a superior talent.

Lol, I actually stopped the music video partway through because I couldn't handle it. It starts in the most generic way possible and has a terrible beat.
Fancy is catchy as hell, though, if that helps.
the whole "make up/faketits/fakeboobs" side discussions were absolutely bullshit and i had to call it out. In any case these women are sexy and they embrace that in their music and videos but it is choice to do that. we aren't entitled to them to be sexy or not.

What expectation do you have of people when two attractive women, who essentially sell sex, are taking shots at one another? You expecting an In depth discussion about their unfounded hearsay? Come on.

Was the thread about which one was sexier, or which one wrote their own lyrics? So wearing sexy clothes etc. means that any conversation involving that person can/should involve how sexy they are? Still doesn't sound right to me, the defence is sounding oddly familiar to lines you hear about women wearing skimpy clothes...
Who says we aren't?
not until we get to the hillary vs palin twerk vids breh
elaborate the bolded plz
because i want to say it sounds dumb as fuck but i'm sure there's more behind that
first off, nicki's best verse was written by someone else so her going at another artist for ghostwriting is straight trifling. many know this, so of course it goes to a simple, possibly intentionally manufactured rivalry (lol) of x vs y in a field where sex appeal plays a role

My expectation is that grown men (which I'm assuming a lot of you are), don't act like 14 year old boys in every thread that involves an attractive women. I don't know what to say if you haven't noticed it, it's happening in plenty of threads, not just this one.

She never did which is correct and you don't necessarily need to pen and paper your own song to be considered having actual talent, however in the case between Iggy and Nicki, I feel like Nicki is only saying this because she is salty but she does have a point. I feel Nicki shit is original and she can come hard off rip when she wants to. Iggy has not shown that ever. Nicki mixtapes goes harder than anything Iggy has ever and will ever put out.
For what it's worth, I agree with you.
I've been on the internet a long time, but never seen anything quite like GAF threads about attractive women. Something about the more "popular to make" comments ("she'd get it!") particularly irks me. lol
But then again, you can just not read the comments. As others have pointed out, it's not like there's much to discuss.
So just quickly browse for the photos and ignore the comments I guess.

and we established early on that neither artist writes their own lyrics, so Nicki's shot at other female pop artists was shallow and baseless. neither artist has much lyrical complexity in their songs, especially their big singles so what are we going to debate, if Super Bass/Stupid Hoe is better lyrically than Work/Fancy? lol. both Iggy and Nicki have careers that are popular thanks to their ability to sell sex, its no different than Brittany Spears or Rihannas careers. their sex appeal goes hand in hand with their sing along lyrics and catchy beats. like i said, i have no problem discussing their male counterparts in the same fashion, id love to haveva gif/pic heavy discussion about Trey Songz versus Tyrese Gibson.
