Do you really want a responce to that question?

This fool must be on drugs. Lauryn’s music comes from her heart and soul. Nicki is animated and scripted and there is NO comparison what so ever. Who the hell is he anyways???

That would be a no!

That n*gga dumb. He really think this b*tch can sing? Your Love was doused in autotune.

hellllll noooooo
lauryn is my girl she is no way better than lauryn she doesn’t even come close that just made me hella upset now

In an alternative universe. People are still hoping for a Lauren Hill combat after a ten year hiatus and one major cd.

I mean he did specify that they have different styles so… in a sense I could say yes. He’s right she’s fairly new to the scene and we haven’t seen what all that she can do – I’m sure. She’s young and really talented so with the right people behind her she could go far.

this is the lamest joke i ever heard, lauren is hands down more real and talented then any of the women in the game right now ! i miss real music big white coporations have taken over hip hop …… we need lauren hill to come back, common get back to it, talib kwali , mos def, nas ! no one can compare to them …

Like the way all these industry loser men are on her ass..good to see their true colours.

Sooo yeah NEGATIVE! Irv let’s stop the blasted foolishness. And tell Minaj that fake Jamaican twist is for the birds stick with soca Trini chick

In my Willona from Good Times voice “Negro please” Nicki Minaj is a gimmick a trend only big because of her affliation with Lil Wayne the artist she’s more on the level of is Ashanti when she was on Murder Inc. and when Murder Inc fizzled out so did Ashanti.

I’m so sick of Irv speaking when he’s high! There is no comparison even figuratively speaking. Lauryn sings from her heart and soul, she raps on a conscious level speaking to uplift and broaden your mind while tearing you up & she can act. Stop it Irv, it’s no wonder you’re not relevant, you have no eye or ears for real talent.

Nikki Minaj is very beautiful, but aren’t like Lauryn Hill. Lauryn Hill can actually sing and rap. Now, I understand why the dummies think Jay Z and Lil’ Wayne are the best rappers alive, because they don’t know real from fake music. BIG and Tupac are always going to be the best rappers. These rappers are not even on their level and don’t know how to be.

Wow and I guess Ja rule was the next Cool G rap! Get the f out of here!

hip hop lover said it the best and i hear you lionesstae with her fake Jamaican accent because im originally from Jamaica when heard hold yuh and her on it i was like no nicki remember your a trini no from JA

GTFOH!!!!!! I’ll give 2 more years B 4 nicki disappears.

Irv also said ashanti was the best song writer so umm…..its murder??

Why do Trini’s always want to act like they from Ja?

@Remember this, Ashanti may not have been a good singer, but she is a good songwriter. However, Nicki does not compare to Lauryn Hill even if she can sing and rap well.

IRV IS OUT OF HIS MIND! HE MUST BE STUCK ON STUPID!

Irv Gotti also thinks his Mom is just as talented Superhead (WINK).

That’s a good one, TrueNight.

Irv also said Ashanti was the princess of R&B…take that as you will

I like Nicki but yeah Lauryn is a better lyricist. Come on Lauryn is one of the realest and hardest female emcee’s ever. Talent……Lauryn is more than a triple threat….she acts, sings, raps, write, etc. I think dudes is letting Nicki’s shape get to their heads. They thinking with their lower heads. Lol.

Ain’t no gotd@m way in h3ll there’s N E comparison Here…..Nikki =Man Made…Lauryn= Self Made ….. Irv GTFOH….

well then,……I guess Irv thinks Drake is Tupac…..huh?….SMDH!!

@ Chester Tha Kat!!!!!!
Thanks and sorry for the missing word it should read.

Irv Gotti also believes his Mom is as talented as Superhead (Wink). )

HELL NO!!!!!!…oh hell mutha f*in no!!! HELL NO!!!

That’s an insult to Lauryn Hill!!…Nicki can’t even compare to her!! Nicki is wayyyyy below her, not even NEAR Lauryn’s level!!!

man i dnt kno wat irv gotti was thinkin when he sai that but nicki minaji is nowhere talented as luaryn hill cuz laurynhill was da bes there was and besides for him to come out of nowhere and say that she gvin up da becky fo real

Lauryn Hill name should not be in the same sentence as Nicki manaj l-boogie is a queen and Nicki is a hood rat. Irv need to kill his self for that one!

NEVER.

GTFOH with that ish, is he on something?

I think for once, we’re all in agreement lol. No comparison, and definitely an insult to Lauryn Hill.

HOW DARE YOU ??????? SMH

I would also like to add that Irv Gotti gets a “sityoazzinthecorner” from me. That’s all.

SORRY FOR SPELLIN ‘LAURYN’ NAME WRONG! PEACE

I bet Nicki Minaj eating that sh*it up! He has lost his rabbit mind.

What??? Laurin Hill is one of the realest and well-respected females rappers ever! How in the world you are going to compare talentless Nicki Minaj to the Queen just because Nicki looks good? You’re on drugs, my friend…

Um….Nicki must be getting around for all these n**gas to be riding on her.

I see where he is coming from, because these days if your not a gimmick you will not be successful. I remember hearing an interview with Wacka Flocka Flame (spell check), and he said that he hasn’t delivered his best work because today its about catchy phrases and simple rhymes. I am not that knowledgable on hip-hop or rap, but I have read on a lot of blog comments that Nikki used to go hard before she became famous. Hopefully, she can redeem herself if she ever puts out an album.

Don’t agree with the Lauryn Hill comment though. She has to prove herself worthy to be placed in that category. Lauryn has never been about sexual exploitation, and she made women feel empowered. Maybe they should stick with comparing her to Lil Kim.

WHATTA JOKE!

Didn’t he say that Ashanti was as talented as Lauryn Hill?

Go hone to your wife, Irv.

I would usually write something crazy but right now I’m hurt and confused. It’s really a shame that he said that…why irv….why lmao wit yo punk azz………..oh and Nicki minaj don’t need a mic she need a dcik on her bottom lip…thank u

Go SAT DOWN somewhere… Lauryn Hill will never NEVER be touched by Nicki Minaj!

MEN SAY STUPID DUMB $HIT WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO GET UP IN DAT AZZ! SOUND LIKE IRV TRYING TO HIT THAT FAKE BOOTY.

To even have Nicki and L Boogie and the same sentence is INSANE! Irv is offically on WTF status!

Irv Gotti musta been smokin’

Sister act 2- “His eye is on the sparrow”.

Lauren Hill is the best.

I am soooo proud of my ppl we have final shown UNITY on something… Irv has no credibility and Nicki is a flash in the pan and his comparison is an insult to Ms Hill… Oh, I just checked out her MTV unplugged; SPEECHLESS!! I LOVE HER.

They shouldn’t ever be compared to each other. Nicki can’t and never will be on the same level as Lauryn they are like night and day. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is classic and will always be one of the best albums ever. Nicki gimmick will fade in a few years and everyone will be saying Nicki who. Irv Gotti is crazy as hell.

That fool is on crack and if anybody else agree wit him they on crack too. Niki Minaj is horrible she is just a gimmick how can someone compare this girl to Ms.Hill??? and if she really CAN rap and just doin the stupid ish she doin just to get fans then she needs to stop it and be herself…she keep that “barbie” ish up and she will be irrelavant just like Irv Gotti

Ok irv ok….compare “its’ barbie b i t c h” to lauryn hill…yea thats completely and i do mean completely understandable

Umm I think the coming of Niki was prophesied in “Doo Wop” – “It’s silly when girls sell their soul because it’s in
Look at where you be in hair weaves like Europeans, Fake nails done by Koreans” na uh COME AGAIN..

hehehe…

“helluva”*

Give me a friggn break LOL Why is anyone even talking to the 5 foot hamster anyway?? Your not relevant, you have no say looser.

….. Nicki is growing on me, but slow your roll irv gotti!

WTF thats the most bulls**t thing i have ever heard in my life!!she doesnt even begin to comopare to Lauryn Hill. Gosh Irv needs to just jog on…

If Irv knew real talent he would be somebody right now. Lauryn is a living legend. Why do you think we are waiting for her return. As for Nikki I am waiting on her to just go away.

That doesn’t even sound right let alone in the same sentence…I like them both but I truly believe that Lauryn hill is a more talented artist.

Barbie you just got “knocked da fk out”.. Go back to biting at Kim’s ankles she’s more like you.

IRV IS BACK ON THEM E PILLS AGAIN…LOL, WHAT A JOKE… HEY IRV, JA RULE IS THE NEXT BIGGIE RIGHT…LOL… WHAT A JOKE, LEAVE THEM E PILLS ALONE…LOL…

He don’t believe that. He’s just trying to get attention. Mission Accomplished.

she’s the truth?..Get the f*ck outa here with that BS

The hell she is. Lauren Hill is an artist Nicki Minaj is a fad waiting to fade!!!

They really think the public is stupid. I can see by the responses we are not.

The dumb sheep are the other celebrities that buy into the crap they are told to dish out.

Isn’t this the same person who thought Ashanti was as talanted as Janet Jackson…so not taking his opinions seriously..he’s a Berry Gordy on crystal meth..wacked out!

Irv stoopid for making that comment foreal. But I do belive him when he says Nicki isnt showing her true self on her full potential just yet. As misunderstood as Nicki is, the girl really got a lot of talent, trace her back to high school and when she was on the come up, I think she just experimenting right now, but she need to be Onika again, i think a lot more people would appriciate that. I love Nicki but no one will come close to the great ms. Lauryn hill like there will never be another Biggie or michael jackson, you just cant compare other people to them. They stand alone as the greats.

(Shaking my head at Irv) Nucca u must be bored, sit yo big head sorry a** down somewhere and be quiet.

I AM WITH ALL THE PEOPLE THAT QUESTION WHY IRV GOTTI IS EVEN BEING INTERVIEWED IN THE FIRST DAXN PLACE. WHAT IS HE EVEN UP TO? THAT IS THE REAL ABOMINATION RIGHT THERE!!

OMFG..dis foo is so stoopid..plz close ur mouth and neva speak again

Irv smoking idiot dust, I’m tired of these dummies making statements just to have someone talking about them. It’s obvious the cool thing now is to say the most outlandish shit.

Irv need’s his life revoked for that one.

This is an insult to our intelligence and blackness. it’s fools like this that hold the planet back, why the madness is it that when someone cannot match up or is not talented stupid people in America always say it’s a different style, or you cannot compare apples to oranges.

IRV DON LOST HIS MIND..& BUMPED HIS HEAD 3 TIMES!!!

MS HILL IS INCOMPRABLE!!!

that ngga smoking crack, eating shrooms and popping e-pills. lol *in my flavor flav voice* woww

Irv is on that stuff

it’s so very obvious he was trying to get his story mentioned on blogs…thats the only reason i can come up with for his making such an a.s.s.e.n.i.n.e statement…nikki minaj couldn’t carry lauren hills luggage let alone carry her torch…hip hop is definitely dead when you start comparing the greats to the barely mediocres…

And “Irv Gotti” is a REEEEEAL gangsta, like
the late John Gotti.

See… saying stuff like that causes me to really wonder how these people make money. Boats, mansions, etc but as simple minded as a Yorkshire who waits for the mail man in the window every morning. #littlesurprised

WTF!! LOL! “Nicki just isn’t showing it yet ’cause she doesn’t want to. But world be prepared ’cause she’s the truth!”

Oh so I guess were all supposed to wait for this wack stage to phase off and she then becomes out of nowhere better than Lauryn Hill.

She cant sing at all captain lol. Her raps are shallow and shes not dumbing it down, shes just dumb. Thats the new style, act like your playing dumb so they think your deep?? wow

there is no comparing miseduction to nikkis body of work…oh excuse me body of features…when this chick puts out a classic that 12 years later leaves people longing for a hint of her music…thats when you can compare until then…keep your opinion to yourself…

GTFOH!!! No wonder there is nobody on his label.

Get real!!! first of all, who would take a mulatto who obvious has an identity problem, (remember, this guy is half italian and half black) serious! He has the audacity to take the last name of a well known gangster Gotti, who hated black people or people who were mixed. Lil kim did the same thing when the gotti’s had their show. She sang the introduction song to the show stating “this is kim gotti”.. remember? So to answer the question, What the hell does he know? Lauryn Hil and nicki are two completely different styles. Lauryn Has earned hers. Nicky has a way to go to get the respect that lauryn has

Whyyyyyyyyyy so many people are interested in an interracial relationship. black woman want to have fun with white man and black guys want to have fun with white women. There are many sites focusing on this kind of relationships such as ==== B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e_C_u_p_i_d . c_o_m ===== recommend it here ==== B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e_C_u_p_i_d . c_o_m ==

m?other f?uckas will say inything for some
p?ussy ?

real real talk

This is the same man that signed Ashanti no singing behind. NEXT!—>

that nicca irv on meth.

THE MISEDUCATION OF LAUREN HILL IS STILL IN HEAVY ROTATION ON EVERY R&B AND HIP HOP RADIO STATIONS. WHAT HAS IT BEEN, AT LEAST 15 YEARS? I HIGHLY DOUBT WE WILL BE HEARING NICKI M’S MUSIC(?) IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS. IRV, REALLY? COME ON NOW SON, STOP SMOKING THAT STUFF!!!! HELL LAUREN’S ALBUM WAS SO AWESOME, SHE COULDN’T EVEN FOLLOW IT UP!!!

IRV STFU NO NICKI DONT U FAT IRRELEVANT IDIOT.

Gotti don’t throw the rest of that blunt away, give me a hit! Man is you crazy? Your new girl don’t have half of what Ms. Hill got goin’ on. You say she got it;but she just ain’t puttin it out there yet? Negro please!

Irv Gotti is irrelevant. Nicki Minaj is a NEW artist who has not accomplished much yet. Im not going to say she doesnt have talent, because I think she does. However to compare her to someone like Lauryn Hill is ridiculous. Lauryn HIll is one of the greatest in the music industry. Its like comparing Drake to Jay-Z, or Ashanti to Beyonce. I dont think IRv should ever open his lips again, cuz its apparent he is on some bulls***!!

I CANT STAND GOTTI! HE GETS NO RESPECT — NO RESPECT– I CANT EVEN ANSWER WHAT HE STATED– THAT WAS ONE OF THE DUMBEST STATEMENTS THAT HE EVER SAID. THAT MOFO IS A WHITE BOY DEEP ANYWAY. WHAT THE FUK HE KNOW ABOUT DEEP DOWN REAL PAIN IN THE DIRT SOUL MUSIC. LAURYN IS THE REAL DEAL

Irv needs to stop smoking the pipe. Nicki is not even in the same league PERIOD.

He just want some…… its no why in the world that this talentless chick can compare to lauren. He was high as ever to have said this retarded stuff out his mouth. Ha ha ha ha! Dude funny and if she believe a word of what he said she is funny-er. Irv please reframe from during future interviews thanks buddy

I’m sorry. I had to pick myself off the floor for laughing so hard. Nicki Minaj will never equate to Lauryn…even on Lauryn’s worst day.

And oh did I mentioned she reached Diamond Status on her first solo album and eccolades of Grammys and other awards than Nicki can ever fathom…..only in Irv’s dreams!

Is Gotti out of his damn mind??!! He can’t be serious, Minaj shouldn’t be put in the same sentence as Ms. Hill, it’s disrespectful. Minaj is a clown, she silly as hell, no substance. Gotti need his mouth washed out with a real strong antibacterial soap…

Poor Irv,he still thinks his opinion has ever been worth pig shit.

Nicki is fake as a barbie doll and Ms. Hill is the REAL TRUTH…. Crack is a beautiful thang Irv is on that crack something serious….

LOL! Irv is smoking…Nicki couldn’t touch Lauryn right now. You can’t compare a Diamond to a cubic zirconia. Lauryn is a diamond…stfu Irv.

PLEASE IRV IS SO IRRELEVANT AND THIS QUOTE SHOWS US WHY…

this mixed girl have nice azz but she’s talentless as f’ck!!!

f’ck Wayne sellout b’tch azz nikka with his talentless jew boy drake! go help real brothers than talentless crackers and this talentless fake azz mixed/light-skinned boy who killing real black music and call you DARK BUT!!

Drake is ugly, talentless and half Jew. he’s not black for us he’s black only for white ppl like obama!

White and mixed people only have killed chocolate/dark skinned brothers and sisters, black music and african-american culture!

pls real black ppl wake up!

REAL BLACK PPL AND REAL BLACK-CULTURE ARE CHOCOLATE/DARK-SKINNED

WE NEED MORE BEAUTIFUL TALENTED REAL CHOCOLATE/DARK-SKINNED BLACK KIDS IN AMERICA AND ALL THE WORLD

—

born dark-skinned black stay dark-skinned black!

mixed/light-skinned is devils sh’t

BLACK LOVE!

Bwhahaha!! That clown needs to just keep it moving. Everything about Nikki is fake- from her wigs to her a.s.s. including her singing (autotune), but that is what these kids like these days (smh). What gets me is the grown people who claim to know what’s what in the entertainment industry that are falling all over themselves to get at her… people that were around when music was about talent instead of just tricks and gimmicks.

Lauryn Hill’s album is found in a majority of Black households, where are Nicki Minaj albums found?

TO IRV GOTTI: CRACK IS WHACK!!!!!

HELLL NAAWWW! THIS DOUCHE BAG IS TALKIN’ SHIT. NICKI IS NOTHING COMPARED TO LAURYN HILL.
THIS MAN MUST HAVE SMOKED SOMETHING!

who is erb gotti?

*got me blowin my nose*

SHE AIN’T EVEN GOOD ENOUGH TO CARRY LAURYN’S TAMPONS!

i believe wat irv tried to say is that they have two totally different styles but nicki is talented in her own lane.
which she is.
nicki needs time to grow into her shoes i believe she will be great some day.
longetivity is everything.
PLUS NICKI IS THE TRUTH.

she writes ner own raps.
and if you hate her so much stop her, dont keep laying in her dust.

peace

I havent heard her music yet, but I wish her the best. Maybe she’s more talented than what some of you are giving her.

One thing is certain, she’s on enough magazine covers that she’s had to have made a few bucks

Good luck young lady

what a dummy

who cares irv gotti knows nothin abt talent he doesnt even know how to run a record label. all his acts are failures! where are they now?

He done lost his rabbit a.ss mind for this. WTF do you mean we have yet to see the best from Nicki Minaj? If that’s true, I’m frightened. She’s (unfortunately, no less) been on the scene for a lil’ bit now and if she can do other things to demonstrate her versatility (like rap), she would’ve done that by now. And the audacity of him to go as far as comparing her to the one and only Lauryn Hill. They ain’t even in the same league, don’t shoot at the same baskets, you feel me? So therefore, why would he even waste his time and energy comparing a timeless beauty and act like Lauryn Hill to an artificially structured fad like Nicki Minaj that probably won’t be in the game less than two years from now? Just saying…

Nicki at her best of the best is = LIL KIM, and LIL KIM cannot even be compared to Lauryn Hill, ivy or whoever he is has just slapped talent on the face

Maybe in opposite land. Who cares what the hell he has to say anyway?

illuminati pact? why all these dogs in music biz vocalizing support for Minaj? She just needs to lay it all down on tracks to prove herself by herself…Lil Kim is right to put dogs on blast trying to put her down to upgrade Minaj…

WOW IRV NEED TO SHUT THE FU*K…NICKI NOT EVEN IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS LAUYRN HILL SH*T SHE NOT EVEN IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS ALICIA KEYS

Yall Jamaicans on here need to stop. Fking black people always gotta be negative, at leats Nicki Minaj has caribbean roots so if she uses patwah was the big deal. Why yall aint bust on Beyonce wid baby bwoy, Whitney wid ur love garbage, keri wilson, Alicia keys and Keisha cole, they have all done reggae influenced songs and failed wid the accent. Nicki at least was belieaveble. Yall really crabs in a bucket.

Musically, I do not like either one…
But, I do know Nicki can’t and never will reach Lauryn status…

& He wonders why his record label is now defunct.

how can u compare lauren hill to nikki? i’m not hating but nikki is no lauren she will fade away soon

He can’t be serious. Really…

As Lauryn would say, “Uh, Uh…come again…”

I have been coming to this site for a little over a year and this is the first time everyone has been in harmony. This is beautiful lol oh Lauryn has a unreleased track called Repurcussions thats really good they posted it on here too=)

i think nicki minaj is talented but not that talented. lauryn hill is a true poet. there is only one lauryn hill.

Yo Irv, puff puff pass…don’t keep puffing, LOL……Nicki is nowhere near talented as Lauryn Hill, in 5 years Nicki Minaj won’t be the “flavor” of the month until the next new “manufactured” talent comes along.

Irv is high!

irv on crack and need 2 cut it out. hes just tryin 2 ressurect his career

While I agree that Nicki is very talented, she is far from being in Lauryn’s league! I just listened to Lauryn’s new track, “Repercussions” (http://bit.ly/cop9Vk), and cannot wait for her to release a new record! Then, we can put all of the comparisons to Nicki, and whomever else, to rest.

Lauryn’s back!

“Irv Gotti” is clearly delusional

That’s like saying SOULJA BOY is more talented than Jay Z. WTF???

SINCE when Double D’s & a fatty was considered talent??? shaking-my-damn-head-2x!

How well do I remember from Bob all the way down to Rohan did Lauryn stumble in her tracks with shame and doubt. Put your name-calling to Lauryn – the dmmm factory. In lauryn, I find no talents just rehearsals.

Nicki has an outright pattern of perseverance and determination.
NICKI IS VERY TALENTED.

Lauryn forgot her way too many times. Lauryn was probably the only young rapper during her day of fame. Lauryn personal life was down hill all the way.

NICKI IS THE BEST FEMALE RAPPER- ARTIST

HELLLLLLL NOOOOO
