6 Reasons Why There Is No M.C. Like Nicki Minaj

She is a queen in her own right.

From people not wanting to play her music on the radio, and living in a basement. From losing everything in a house fire to crying through losing her first child. Nicki Minaj has been through it all and has come out on the other side wiser and stronger. She is one of the greatest female rappers in hip-hop today. Standing beside greats like Lil' Kim, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah etc. Nothing has come easy for her and she would tell you in a heartbeat that in life there is no handouts or an easy rode. If there was I'm assuming she would have taken it a long time ago, but here are 6 reasons this woman is a badass in everything she does.

1. No one rhymes like she does

Nicki not only brings the hammer but she does so in an animated entertaining way.

2. She believes in female empowerment.

Nicki has told many girls old and young to never let your circumstance define you and don't lose your dream for a man.

3. Has won Best Female Hip-hop artist seven times

BET has given Nicki awards after awards because her fans made sure she was recognized as the great MC she is.

4. Nicki is diverse

Her lyrics are for people of many different ethnicities and backgrounds.

5. She has gone toe to toe with male rap artist and won.

Nicki has made grown men shiver in their boots with her comebacks.

6. She's dedicated to the grind of being the best

Nicki and her former flame, Safaree, has admitted to taking the money received from her mixtape and putting it back into her music. She didn't spend a penny of the money she received from it, living off her savings for months. Not many people are that dedicated.

In short, Nicki has grind just as hard as the male MCs (maybe even harder) and is no one who flows like hers. Please don't argue with me.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
