I look at rap as an opportunity to act. My head is full of different characters - in each song I'm auditioning a character.

Everyone knows I'm a lash girl by now. When I don't have my lashes, I feel naked.

My best and worst 'Idol' moments? I don't have a worst 'Idol' moment... I've been spectacular. Yes, I am going to toot my own horn. And then my best moment is every single moment. I'll toot it again!

Say my shoe game nuts so I call em cashews Every other city it's another Nicki tattoo

If he gimme the word then I'm flippin the bird & then I'm spinnin around & I'm grippin the burn

Clap for the heavy weight champ ME But I couldn't do it all alone WE

A lot of rappers want somebody to always sing on their records. If you can hold a note, they're gonna' ask you to come and be apart of their creativity. At that time, they were eager and on the streets selling drugs or in the studio making music. That was a big part of our lives were I grew up.
