Music is music. If you're in the industry, people are gonna love you, hate you, respect you, diss you, be jealous of you, etc. Just do YOU! Don't be mad cause you think somone is trying to be like you. Don't get heated cause people are comparing you to someone that got in the game before you.
As someone who doesn't do this music biz professionally, I know what it's like to write a song or have an idea and then see someone else with a similar game plan get credit for it. I remember back in the day, one of my homies made a whole demo tape called "The Gray Album" (He's a Beatles fan, a play on their 'White Album') where he re-did a bunch of songs originally written by artist like Incubus & Coldplay; a Hip-Hop/Alternative mash-up if you will. Then here comes Jay-Z and his bitchass Linkin Park so called collabo.
Shit happens. My nigga didn't go on a 7 month rant about how he hated Jay-Z for his idea, Jigga just happened to be in the position he was in to make that shit poppin.
So, in conclusion, Miss Lil Kim, I love you. I adore you. But don't hate on Minaj for getting hers. If this were a real Hip-Hop beef circa 2Pac & Bigga, trust, Power 106 probably wouldn't be playing neither of you chick's hits non-stop on the anniversary of your murder 7 years after the fact. Harsh, but true.
On the flip side, I am not much of a Nicki fan. I didn't even think I knew how to spell her name before I googled it for this blog but I will say this, keep doin you, ma. And perhaps, keep doing you while also doing something worth listening to....?
Give Respect. Salutations....
