    Default Rapper (Nicki Minaj) offers to help a dozen fans with college expenses.

    For those of you that don't know that lady... I don't either. I know she's a singer. The end.
    In any case, that singer was holding a contest for fans. One asked for help with college expenses. She obliged asking for good grades. Then others chirped in, asking help. All in all, she promised more than 20K$ to help fund fans.

    A nice generous gesture that doesn't seem staged or attention grabbing. She may (or may not) be the attention seeking kind but that gesture seems sincere.

    In any case, I still managed to find something I disagree with. In a couple of cases, people asked for a little money (500$) for "books and supplies". She obliged without even asking their college. In some cases she did ask for proof and some of her fans sent photos of bills. But a person going to her and says "500$ for books please!" could well mean "500$ for books please so I can blow my allowance to drink myself under the table in the summer vacations"

    She's not publicity shy.

    But if true, I'll accept as an act of generosity.

    That is one way to put it.


    For those of you that don't know that lady... I don't either. I know she's a singer. The end.
    Cant say im connoisseur or even an admirer of her music, or the genre.

    But i happen to know of her, because reasons.... Im knowledgeable of general culture... and stuff


    At anycase it is a good initiative.

    It's not the words it's the booty.

    Not sure what a Jamaican slave frog has to do with this.

    Booty call.

    Also, about as lyrically understandable.

    Pop is way too weird nowdays.

    What happened to the times when weird pop was just this anodyne video:

    The Vengaboys are beyond weird. I don't even know how to describe them.

    Ah The Vengaboys.... at the time there were the Aqua as well.

    All weird, but big and "tremedous" in Scandinavian countries tough.

    At least Aqua had one decent song



    And their singer could actually sing.
