Since Nicki Minaj has step foot on the scene there has been controversy or her style of rapping and being respected in the game. Well Ice-T, the gangsta rap icon, talks about his new documentary The Art of Rap, and spoke with Rolling Stone about the meaning of “real hip-hop” and dropped knowledge for the next generation.

He says: Nicki went on tour with Britney Spears, so she’s on another channel. But to me, it all comes from hip-hop; it’s like a growth of hip-hop, whether you agree with that growth or not. Like me, I’m not the biggest Nicki Minaj fan but I think she can rhyme. She does her thing. She has her own way of doing it. She has an ill vocal delivery. She kind of reminds me of a female Busta Rhymes, like how she throws her voice in different direction.
