Line 35:
** [[Double Subverted]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6j4f8cHBIM#t=3m11s By Nicki herself.]
* [[Double Standard]]: She discusses this extensively in her MTV special "My Time Now",where she says that when Lil Wayne says that he doesn't want to talk to anybody, and wants everything ready for him, he's being a boss but when she does the same thing, she's a bitch.
* [[Hollywood Exorcism|The Exorcism of Roman]]: The theme of her "Roman Holiday" performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards.
* [[Genre Shift]]: Not necessarily a shift, so much as an expansion of the genres she works with. As time has gone on, she's branched out from fast-paced, hard raps into pop and slower, more quiet rhymes.
* [[Genki Girl]]
Line 43:
* [[Incredibly Long Note]]: In "Stupid Hoe" and "Dance (A$$)" with Big Sean.
* [[Intercourse with You]]: "Whip It" [[Captain Obvious|"Sex In The Lounge"]]
* [[Large Ham]]: She can be quite dramatic when rapping.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The ''Pink Friday'' album, which was deliberate. Nicki wanted to go in a different direction than most female rappers and avoid much of the sex and hard rhymes.
** The new tracks added on ''Roman Reloaded'' seem to [[Subverted Trope|subvert]] this, however.
Line 56:
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor|Loony Character, Nice Actor]]: On stage, Nicki (or whichever persona she's under at the time) seems like a complete nutbar. Offstage, she seems like a well-mannered and sweet, if slightly quirky, girl.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Roman Zolanski in the "Moment 4 Life" video intro: "He's off to boarding school, him and [[Eminem|Slim Shady]], they were wreaking havoc over the industry darling..."
** With the imminent release of ''Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'', it seems that [[The Bus Came Back|Roman's bus has come back]].
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: ''Pink Friday'' is not overtly sexual and written from a feminine point of view. This had to led a lot of criticism decrying her as "soft" and not going as hard as the guys.
* [[Sampling]]: ''Your Love'' uses the Annie Lennox song "No More I Love You's" and pretty much just added more bass.
Line 72:
* [[Surprisingly Gentle Song]]: Several. If not outright peaceful, quite a few songs lack the distinctly harsh, sharp edge in vocals and instrumentation that many people have come to expect from her.
* [[Take That]]: "Roman's Revenge", which takes some pretty blatant shots at [[Lil' Kim]].
** Not to mention how she received one from Keys, an underground rapper from Baltimore.
** There's also her verse on the "All I Do Is Win" remix.
** Along with her song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t2w99sph4g Stupid Hoe]
Line 82:
* [[Waif Fu]]: In the video for 'Fly'.
* [[Wardrobe Malfunction]]: During a ''[[Good Morning America]]'' performance one of her breasts was exposed.
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: To the point where she's worked with [[Black Eyed Peas|will.i.am]], [[Jay- Z]], [[Kanye West]], Trey Songz, [[Chris Brown]], Diddy-Dirty Money, Rick Ross, T.I., M.I.A., [[Will Smith|Willow Smith]], Sean Kingston, Gucci Maine, Natasha Bedingfield, [[Rihanna]], [[Eminem]], [[Britney Spears]], [[Christina Aguilera]], The Lonely Island, [[Mariah Carey]], Usher, Ludacris, Sean Garrett, Jeffree Star, Yo Gotti, [[Florida]], David Guetta, Jay Sean, DJ Khaled, [[Overly Long Gag|Trina]], all of [[Lil Wayne|Young Money]], and [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Gudda Gudda]].
** Ironically Lil' Kim too in Diddy-Dirty Money's [[Updated Rerelease|umpteenth remix]] of "Hello Good Morning".
** For Nicki, his trope is probably most evident during her ''[[Brevity Is Wit|twelve second]]'' guest rap on [[Madonna]]'s "Give Me All Your Luvin'". She does appear throughout on the ''L-U-V Madonna! Y-O-U You wanna?'' chant, but other than that...
