BOY, STOP: Irv Gotti Equates Nicki Minaj To Lauryn Hill

The fact this dude even mentioned Nicki Minaj in the same sentence as Lauryn Hill is bugging me out.  Read on for Irv Gotti's latest eyebrow raising quote....
So Irv Gotti chatted it up with VIBE this week about the music scene.  And he gave his pinion about ya girl Nicki Minaj.  Where'd they find this dude Irv at anyway?:

VIBE: Does Nicki Minaj have what it takes to be a star?
Irv Gotti: The world has yet to see the best of Nicki Minaj. What she's delivering to the world now is basically what they want. But I know that she's a super talented superstar who can do anything at a high level—rap, sing, act, whatever she wants to do. This is just the beginning of Nicki Minaj. Her best is yet to come. In my opinion she is as talented as my other girl Lauryn Hill. They have completely different styles. But as far as the talent is concerned they both can do it all. Nicki just isn't showing it yet 'cause she doesn't want to. But world be prepared 'cause she's the truth!

Nicki "as talented as" L-Boogie?  I beg to differ.  For many reasons.  I typically don't say everything I really feel about certain artists.  But sh*t's getting out of hand.  Either folks are more delusional than I thought, or dude is trying to tap that in a round-about-way.  Either way...boy, STOP.
