SPOTTED: KANYE WEST IN NYC + SAYS NICKI MINAJ WILL BE THE #2 RAPPER OF ALL TIME
Entertainer Kanye West was spotted getting into his Maybach wearing a sharp suit and black tie in New York City on Wednesday evening.
The star was most likely leaving his interview with Angie Martinez where he premiered a new song with Beyonce & Charlie Wilson and even went on record saying Nicki Minaj would be the ‘Number 2 rapper of All time’ (listen to full audio here).

Are Judahs nuts salty or bitter, just askin while your down there .
^^^^
Hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kanye is out of his mind. I think his comment is attributed to some song he did w/ Nicki, where she dropped this “supposed” dope verse. *rolls eyes* I want to understand the hype but this chick has dropped 2 singles and I don’t see what’s so great about her.
I’m starting to believe Kanye is just spewing dumb shit for publicity. And the fact that he also said Eminem is the #1 rapper of all time is just as ridiculous as saying Nicki is #2. He needs to have a seat because that heffa don’t even have an album out and her 1st single flopped. Nicki is all hype and image. She would be just as popular if she was an autotuned singer.
It’s only a matter of time before Judah and his stans/followers/cosigners/worshippers come and crash the post.
HE LOOKS GOOD. LETS HOPE HE DONT ACT A FOOL AT THE VMA’S
I was hoping that after the mess he pulled at the AMA this arrogant mutha flucker
would have disappeared wherever and stayed there. Ever since he had that dinner
with Jay Z it seems that he has been let back into the circle again, and now he’s so
excited to be deemed as not crazy anymore he’s kissing everybodies ass. Nicki is
pretty but a she is one of the lamest of all time
Rappers and ballers who end up broke like MC Hammer and Scottie, look back and say, “damn, I shouldn’t have bought that Maybach”. And, I’m a little behind on rap, but if Nicki is the #2, then who is the #1 rapper of all times?
@12.
He said Eminem was the #1 rapper.
Yo i am a true hiphop head ,and Nikkie is so wack!!!!!! Kanye is dope , but i am surprise that he said that. She won t be around by next yr
HAhaha NICKI WHO??!! laamee booo!!
This just proves that Kanye says shit to say shit.
Eminem!! Naw, I’d pick Tupac or Biggie over nem. I hear kids on 106 & Park who rap better than Emine…
I respect Kanye, but i dont think he is nearly as talented as his hype, infact i think his true talent may be his trash talking and hype, if you read his lyrics, he is not the greatest hip hop lyricist, and is far from it, and i am not even gonna comment on that nikki minaj statement, partially because i want to limit the amount of “hate” in my blood, and partially because “frankly my dear, i dont give a damn”.. lol…

p.s. he looks good
Why you lying boo, no need to do that, we’ve heard the best and she’s not on any of their level. I would even go so far to say that Rhi wanted to she could and i think she would be better, sorry Nikki, you just any gimmick
Ye go somewhere wit that. Nicki second best female of all time is crazy. Wit her 1000 diff languages and facial tics, the only thing she will be second too is the second rap star to have major hits and gone in 3 years.
I support Inter/racial relationships! I believe love has no color!
{—–W W W. M i x e d M a t c h i n g -C0 M——}
This club is for those of us that don’t discriminate! This is to all my people who don’t care about somebody’s ethnic background, just how they are on the inside.
If you want to find a sincere Inter/racial relationship. If you are serious. Come and join us!
he most certainly did not say, that nicki WILL BE number 2. he said that she has the POTENTIAL TO BE. they are very different things, morons. this shows how the media can twist someone’s saying.
Kanye is full of sh**t, I can’t stand this arrogant muthafo! I wish he would disappear forever. Unfortunately, it looks like that won’t happen but it does look like he’s lost a lot of hype and fame ever since his nonsense antic at the VMAS! His music is wacker than ever now-a-days. I like Nicki, she seems very sweet, humble, creative, and a hard worker, but she is definitely not the 2nd best rapper in the world! She actually has dope lyrics on her mixtapes, it’s just that she has a lot to prove. I find it funny how Lil Wayne can constantly rap about sex, eating girls out, and being the best in many of his songs but people call him an excellent rapper but are so quick to diss Nicki. She’s going commercial, like every successful rapper is doing or has done, just give her time to prove herself. She’s coming out with an album soon.
Ye sure can rock a suit ..
Can’t listen the interview right now but is he crazyyy?
Nicki is a joke and staysss acting a fool – I can’t take anyone like her seriously.
That chick is a straight up joke both of those idiots are annoying. Kanye retarded behind really needs to go and retire somewhere Ugh!
Kanye is just saying what he was told to say in order to get back into the arms and hearts of white mainstream America after that charade at last years mtv awards. He is the epitome of a coon. Do anything for master as long as they accept him and keep lifting him up. He’s going to become LARGER than life just for making this ignorant statement. And his mindless followers ill forget what he said. He puts a white rapper before all emcees that ever existed, even his idol Jay Z? This is a freakin joke. He once said Rihanna was the greatest pop star of all time. She can’t even sell out a venue. Are you serious right now Congay?
He can never be taken serious. Ever
If Eminem is number one,……and Nicki Minaj is number two,……..can Wacka Flocka be far behind…….huh?……..throw in Yung Joc and Crunchy Black,…..and you probably gots Kanye ‘s top five Rappers of ALLTME!!……….I swear this dude’s mind ain’t been right since his momma died!!
Nicki won’t even be the #1female rapper.
Kanye is clearly on acid.
he looks good…kanye’s talking just to talk (we know how he is).. im sure he doesn’t believe that
He really needs to stop drinking.
Kanye i like you but stop talking rubish about nicki lame ass
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE WELL AND TRUELY LOST THE DAMN PLOT.. THIS WORLD IS SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW!!! HOW DARE HE?? AWWW THE WAY I WISH I CUD GO BACK TO THE SANE TIMES OF 95′ WHEN WE HAD BIGGIE AND PAC WHEN THINGS WERE NORMAL AND WE DIDNT HAVE PEOPLE TALKIN A WHOLE LOADA CRAP LIKE NICKI IS #2 …AWWWW THE GOOD OLD DAYS…
He must want to sleep with her. Just call her Kanye, public declarations not required.
Not saying it can’t happen for Nikki but I’m just saying…
Eminem is an exceptional lyricist and, at this point, makes way more sense than his number 2 pick, but artistic ranking is simply a matter of opinion. I wonder if these proclamations upset any of his rapping buddies, though.
Do ya research. Nicki was an artist before she became mainstream and her creative vision can potentially get her anywhere. Again if this is his opinion take it for what it is. There should be no post dedicated to irrelevant artist of the heyday. I’m sure he is referring to today’s current and relevant rappers. And by the looks of numbers and stats eminem ranks number one factually speaking….anything after that and now you’re reaching. People are checking for missminaj and her image and appeal is steadily growing… This I believe is what kanye wass referring to…#2 most influential(greatest) rapper….I’m gonna omit the of all time reference tho… He was reachin. …men lie, women lie, numbers don’t. Jay is my alltime fave…
And for the haters who think Nicki found overnight success, hang it up. This girl been rappin and workin since high school…over5 years ago…she’s no one hit wonder, shorty found her way to the top and that only happens with preserverance, hardwork, the right look and the right words. Keep bringin the fiyah Nicki. But please squash the beef with lil Kim, she is a hardcore lyricist and you could learn a thing or two. Respect ya pioneers and ya elders!!!!! Peace
There’s nothing like a man with a nicely tailored suit. Good look Kanye…my fellow twin!!!
Oh yeah…and I, honestly, believe that Nicki has the potential to be relevant for a long time. I’m not saying that she’s the best and I’ve never been a fan but there’s something about her. She has mas appeal and I’m sure that she can branch out to a lot of things outside of hip hop. Don’t be surprised.
*mass (excuse the typo)
He said what ? ? ? She will be the #2 rapper? ? ? IN WHAT WORLD ? ? ? What is he smoking? ? ? Who does he consider #1?
Nobody is getting any play but Nicki. I am not a fan but I can’t knock her hustle. But really, where are our female MC’S.
She is NOT even in the top 10. She cool and looks all dolled/faked up BUT she isn’t TRUE to it. She has a nice and fresh new flow to rapping BUT she is NOT one of the greatest of all time. And Kanye isn’t on that list either. He cool too but neither is all that. He is all about controversey period and getting in the spot light.
She is a new “artist” only time can tell who can even, EVEN, be considered number 2…if there is such a thing. And as it shows so far…it’s a No. Facial tics, jerking around, and slipping in and out of personalities on 16 bars does not substantiate her as number 2, c’mon Kayne…your Mother had a Phd…channel it before you speak.
Lol Kanye is bugging….Nicki Minaj is nice but she is far from #2. She havent even drop an album out so right now shes at the bottom 100
KANYE LOOKS LIKE A CHARACTER FROM MEN IN BLACK
HE HAS TALENT BUT HUMILITY WILL TAKE HIM ALOT FURTHER THAN ARROGANCE…
HEY I DONT KNOCK ANYONE WHOI IS CONFIDENT. THATS GREAT…BUT KANYE TAKES IT TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL…
BUT I DO LIKE HIS MUSIC, I THINK HE IS CREATIVE…
JUST WISH HE WOULD TONE DOWN THE ARROGANCE AND COCKINESS A BIT…PEACE
Well thats his opinion which he is entitled to.
We all know they in the same click. If Nicki is down with Lil Wayne, whose bestfriend has a tattoo of a pentagram on his forehead and sold her soul like the rest of them, its obvious why he is putting her on this pedestal. Now, i can’t lie the girl is talented but spiritually dead, which is why her music has no content-money, im fly, sex, guns- like 98% of the world. She sold her soul, you have to do that to get to the top. but #2 rapper kanye?? c’mon calm down with the obvious exaggeration and deliberate push for the masses to also put her on a pedestal, which they already have in a way, she just needs the crown. Who is number #1 cuz Lauryn is the #1 female rapper, and she is definitely in the top 5 of all time rappers..
Who said that he said that about Eminem to get into white mainstream loving arms?? Exactamento. Everything is so calculated, and people think he just blurts things out.
KUTE!
Nicki Minaj Flows and Lyrics are WACK(: Kanye Must Be Smokin’ Something To Even Thinkk That Nicki Minaj Could Be The Best Rapper Of All Time?!
XoXo…
TheMissMaddison
P.S. Lil Kim’ Come Backk!
LMAO @ THE CRUNCHY BLACK COMMENT.
SORRY KANYE BUT TUPAC IS THE #1 RAPPER OF ALL TIME.
I STILL LOVE YOU THOUGH…EVEN WHEN YOU’RE SAYING CRAZY ISH & YOU LOOK SEXY IN THAT SUIT.
Kanye is a talent but he is a serious attention whore
Remember that Kanye is a Rick Ross fan. So, it’s well expected that he could, as well, worship another overrated rapper around. Also, he LOVES getting attention, so he could contradict himself if needed, for more attention, any day soon. We should not take his words seriously.
And, don’t call Nicki Minaj an MC, there’s no real MC out there anymore. That’s why I do not listen to rap, as much as I used to do.
Ye is obviously what I call a fuctional crackhead!
For him to say a statement like that about the “massive disaster” singer is purely absurd…
I mean really?
You’re nobody until you show consistency and longevity and most of all can hold a song on your own…
Get out of here with Kanye West saying rapper Nicki Minaj will be the second best. Laughing in Kanye West and Nicki Minaj’s faces!
* M$. LIL’KIM THE QUEEN BEE ! OF RAP ! IS THE GREATEST FEMALE RAPPER OF ALL TIME ! KANYE THAT’S A FAKE AND FONY OPINION ! YOU’RE TELLING LIES ! YOU AND EVER PERSON KNOWS LIL’KIM IS M$.G.O.A.T. ! AND THAT IS THE TRUTH ! #1 BIGGIE ! #2 LIL’KIM ! AND THERE IS NONE HIGHER ! PEOPLE WHO SAY NICKI IS THE BEST JUST DON’T KNOW ANY BETTER ! OR JUST DON’T WONNA TELL THE TRUTH ! YALL BETTER POP IN YALL QUEEN BEE C.D.’S OR DOWNLOAD ALL HER SONGS ! SENCE IT SEEMS YALL NEED TO BE REMINDED ! BUT, OF COURSE IF YOU’VE HEARD ALL OR MOST OF THE QUEEN BEE SONGS YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE REMINDED ! MAYBE THE YOUNG ONE’S DO ! THE FACT THAT NICKI CAME IN THE GAME ON SOME COPY CAT AND FOLLOWING S__T ! TOOK SOME POINTS AWAY FROM HER ! BUT, SHE CAN RAP , BUT, NICKI IS NOT GREATER THAN HER IDOL LIL’KIM THE QUEEN BEE ! THE FEMALE BIGGIE ! THE QUEEN BEE IS COMING ! AAAHHH UUUHHH HHHUUUHHH…!!! *
I’m tired of Kayne making these types of comments. didn’t he learn when he said “beyonce had the best video of all time”. You would think he learned from that frame of references. Because its obvious the rest of the music industry don’t agree with him, And he’s usually penalized for making such claims. Why continue?
I find it offensive that Kayne made the claim that Nicki is the best, when she haven’t proven herself, yet. She have 1 flopped single, and 1 moderately successful song primarily on rap radio. And 2 songs that hit the top 10 from “young money” mostly because of Lil Wayne.
Atleast lil kim, foxy, eve, missy, and even M.I.A. proven themselves
uhhh, wassup with dressing like the bad guys from the matrix? kanye if you don’t get yo big.
Kayne,
Can I talk about you? Where is your career at? Is this what you have been reduced to — talking crap about other people who actually have careers (Taylor Swift for example)? I’m glad your career is blowing over because you were making some young folk stupid. By the way, could people please stop quoting Jay-Z, numbers do lie, especially when they’re falsified.
Yeah he is OFF his rocker with that comment about Nicki Minaj!
