    As I was beginning a small career in the entertainment business, my mother was my source of encouragement. She inspired me to continue in the entertainment business because she knew that this was an opportunity of a life time.

    My topic for this paper is about Nicki Minaj and how she, as a popular icon, is considered “lowbrow” due to the fact that she represents an active and subversive threat to certain “power blocs.” She represents a threat because she exhibits and acknowledges explicit female sexuality, is a successful female artist in a male-dominated enterprise, and is a black artist. Minaj utilizes her body in way that is considered “inappropriate” and “out-of-control” by the establishment and as an attempt to minimize the threat she poses, Nicki Minaj is discredited and marginalized as “low-brow” culture. Nicki projects sexual aggressive imagery that defies the established notions of a complacent, female, black body. In this essay, I’ll analyze and critique…
