In recent months Nicki Minaj has been praised for seemingly returning to her roots: ditching the colorful wigs and costumes for a more natural look, and foregoing her overtly pop tunes for a more traditional hip hop sound.
While at Sirius XM's Shade 45 radio station with the rest of the G-Unit for a special, as-of-yet-not-aired reunion interview, Fif said that mainstream radio's desire to push Nicki back down the ladder has caused her to have once again a harder edge to her music.
"It's going to change. They going to put you back in the 'ni*ga section'. Trust me, you can be hot as a motherf*cker and then eventually they'll put you back and you'll find yourself at Urban Radio fighting your way into Top 20 crossover radio," Fiddy said of the change. "You see it over and over. You see Nicki [Minaj] come from Barbie to being like 'you a hitta a*s n*gga, n*gga, n*gga.'"
Curtis also gave his opinion on the success of Bobby Shmurda, who gained notoriety with a beat that once belonged to G-Unit henchman Lloyd Banks.
"I think he needs work. The artist needs work. It's like the Trinidad James thing. When a guy doesn't actually have song structure," he said. "Nah, he just did the dance. Then when I looked at it, it felt like Diddy. It felt like [Micheal Jackson] a little bit in that "Remember The Time" video."
