Nicki Minaj's publicist denies she and Drake got married, saying it was a "joke." And yet we still have no clue who the fark Drake or Nicki Minaj are

Well obviously the publicist is doing a shiatty job then, isn't he?

erm, Is this another of those Americain things us "Limeys" have been spared? cos i serously dont have a clue.

At a guess Id claim there some kind of attention whores from some reality show (most "WHO ARE THEY" headlines on fark seem to relate to those), but as yet im blissfully unaware of who they are!

/Hurray for Ignorance!

Seriously, who are they?

If my sources and ads around me are correct, a Drake has Canadian origins. Most likely Toronto since people here seem to know what it is.

glwtta: Seriously, who are they?

Dear commoners: I have a bargain for you. If you tell me who this alleged "Drake" is. I promise to tell you just what the hell a Justin Bieber is.

Previously unknown who the hell are Drake and Nicki Minaj trifecta in play.

Drake?

YOU GUYS! Drake was on "Degrassi: The Next Generation"! Don't y'all watch Noggin'or Nickelodeon?

/hopelessly immature

I hate the Drake!

I don't want to know who they are. (new window)

amazing how gossip sites can make completely unknown people relevant.

Screw you guys, I like Drake's music.

The fact that you folks don't know who Drake is says more about you than Drake. The dude is very big in the hip-hop world these days. That you don't know him suggest that you're out of touch.

I'm not out of touch, I just don't like hip hop.

/For those about rock, I salute you

I'm also a private eye, a family man, a rich girl and a maneater. What's it's to ya?

Thank you. I got called a troll in the other thread for making that same point. Argue about the merits of mainstream rap music all you want but Drake is a big name. To go further, he's a big name in popular music period.

oddly, I dont know who drake is,
but I do know Nicki Minaj.

She was kickass on that last Robin Thicke album.

*ghetto switch on* Yo I dunno about you dawg but Nicki Minaj has a BIG OL' BOOTY & some TIG OL' BITTIES!!!
*ghetto switch off*

/seriously do a gis.

The real question is, why is Fark always so complicit in hyping the latest manufactured celebrities? And why does it work?

/Does no one remember Gabbo?

Steezy

Wow, that smacks of trying to be sexy and failing at it hard core. As for the supposed penis, I blame this on Lady Gaga. She has a supposed dick rumor so now all of the female performers have to have one now too.

Hip-hop as music? So much for the relevancy of your opinion.

Having been forced to listen to the radio(pop, top 40 type stuff most of the time, ugh) at work I know Minaj's recent song.

She almost requires subtitles, and since I just looked up her lyrics, it's like trying to make something intelligable out of lady gaga's lyrics. No, you really did hear it right, she's comparing herself to Bruce Willis..and a certifiicate that she changed her name on(2x).

And people make fun of metal for not being understandable...

Oh, and the gratuitous usage of "spunk"
/the radio version is different than the actual release, so that threw me too

Drake, I only hear his name mentioned. Thankfully the pop-ish stations don't take it that far.

I really have no idea why people are so proud to have never even heard of particular musicians. I've heard one Drake song and I've never heard Mucki Manooj ever and I still know who they are. (yay Degrassi!) A quick trip over to Youtube shows that Nucki a) raps in that pinched, nasal, annoying style that afflicts 99.5% of all female rappers and b) she samples Annie Lennox, so I really don't think I'll be putting any effort into digging up her music, but Drake isn't bad. It'd be one thing if some of these self-righteous posters listened to nothing but Tuvan throat singing but this is farking FARK, not the Algonquin Round Table. You're hanging out on a site that made its fortunes off a picture of a squirrel with moose nuts, so you really don't have a lot of reason to act so cultured.

/and has anyone decided that rap isn't music yet? I'm still not sure if it is or not.

What?? You'll have to post louder. I can't hear you over the Yat-Kha record I'm blasting.

Throat-punk? Holy CRAP! I think my brain just exploded. I've never heard of those guys before, but I'm damned sure going to be looking into their stuff.

You, kind sir, have just made my day.

My musical horizons thank you once again, as they just got kicked in the junk. Awesome.
