    Well I'm just not able to get my head around them putting her in the Olympia when she is capable of selling an awful lot more than 1k tickets

    i hope they change it!! she deserves it. . . and plus , thats another major thing for YMCMB !!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭dee.


    Id imagine it would be a rush for artists to go from playing to 1300 people in the Olympia one night to 15,000 in a really nice arena the next lol.

    If it is any consolation, she could probably freestyle better than Drake.

    I'm genuinely in disbelief that you and AVA are so convinced that Nicki is a bigger artist than Drake and that she'd be able to sell out 2/3 nights in The O2.

    Jay and Kanye can't sell out 2 nights in The O2. Nicki wouldn't sell out one night, that's why the promoters gave her The Olympia. The promoters know better than you and AVA, they're not going to change the venue...I really can't believe what I'm reading here tbh.

    Really..?

    Can you name any of the places where you DJ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,342 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    Put it this way lads, there was way way more hype on facebook when drakes concert was announced than there has been since talk of nicki playing here.

    I know about 25 people that went to drake, i know maybe 4-5 people that want to go to nicki minaj.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,755 ✭✭✭A V A


    should have mentioned places!!!

    I never said she could sell out multiple nights, in fact I said I don't think she could. I do think she could sell out one night (or close enough sell out) If you don't, that's fair enough. I just think, as A V A said, a lot of "huns" and 12 year old girls will be going to this. My sister is 6 and she wants me to take her. Nickis fan base is mostly young girls here and young girls love spending their parents money. If the venue doesn't change I'm sure they'll add at least one more date anyways.

    Not enough to fill up The O2 though.

    I know a few lads that DJ at Hussle and Notorious...don't think I know you though.

    if you think she could get close to selling out one night then why did you say they should possibly ad a 3rd night?

    by "huns" do you mean rangers fans?

    You have to remember, Drake and Nicki appeal to different groups of people now. Nickis mix tapes might appeal to Drake fans but her newer stuff has gained her a very young fanbase.

    Also I don't think your first comment is true. When Drake was announce only two people posted about it on my Facebook. I've lost count of the number of people who have been talking about Nicki. My cousins and their friends are already planning a big group to go up for a "girls night" (with adults of course) and they're all between 10 and 15.

    I think she'd sell out one night in the O2 / 2+ nights in the Olympia

    in my work and my mates , they are all talkin about the gig, all of us are all over the age of 20 + , id love if they moved it, might not sell out , but neither did drake!!!

    10-15 year old girls making plans to go on Facebook...MCD will be kicking themselves when they hear this.

    My first comment is true, a group of 10-15 lads that are aged about 18 - 20 all went. 2 brothers i know got tickets for their birthdays and went, and a group of about 6-7 girls went.

    You just said yourself that your cousins who are aged 10 - 15 are talking about going, I'm not friends with any 10 year old girls i wouldn't know anything about that but i talk to a load of girls aged about 16-18 and very very few of them want to go to nicki minaj. The majority of them went to drake.

    Thats fair enough but I've said from the beginning that Nickis fanbase aren't really people who would be into Drake. Her fans (nowadays) are mostly younger girls. I don't think many Drake fans will be at her concert. A few maybe (myself included) but the large majority will be young girls who listen to whatever's played on the radio every day

    Just stating the obvious. You two are going on as if you know better than MCD, saying Nicki is more commercially successful than Drake, saying more people would go to her show than Drakes, saying MCD will realize their mistake and change the venue tomorrow...it's hard to take either of you seriously.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,755 ✭✭✭A V A


    a group of lads are going to go to drake, of course !!! just like a a group of girls are going to go see nicki !!! and girls travel in packs :P :) alot of girls love nicki not just cause of her music

    Nickis fanbase are people that would be into drake, they have songs together afaik, they're part of the same label. They appear one after the other on MTV every minute of the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    Is take care Drakes best work?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭dee.


    Nobody said they WILL anything. I said "maybe"...maybe being the keyword. You seem to be seriously bothered that we're not agreeing with you. Even if we are wrong, and there's no way on earth Nicki could sell out the O2 even though she's not playing Belfast and is playing multiple venues that size in the UK...so what? It's not a life and death situation. We're allowed to have opinions. I love Drake but I don't recall hearing him on the radio recently. "starships" is played multiple times a day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,342 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala

    I hope not, because what i heard of it was disastrous.

    Maybe in the USA but not here. At least not her most recent stuff. I think Drake fans would like Nickis older stuff, mix tapes, I'm a Drake fan and that's what I like but do I think people who like her older music are going to go to her concert? Maybe a few but a very small percentage. Nickis fanbase here are young girls. My friends who like Drake aren't into Nicki at all and don't take her seriously (especially after Stupid Hoe)

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭dee.


    And having songs together/being on the same label does not automatically mean they'll have the same fans. Plenty of artists I like have collaborated with other people on songs and while I like (or sometimes dislike) the songs, I don't instantly become a fan of the other musician.

    I hear Take Care and What's My Name on the radio regularly. To be fair Irish radio is a joke when it comes to hip-hop, the fact that you hear some tragic Nicki Minaj track on it means nothing - if it did she'd be in The O2 like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift were......but she's not.

    no you said nicki fans won't like drake, which they would. Now you're reversing it and saying drake fans won't like nicki to try and sound correct.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,755 ✭✭✭A V A


    take care ft. rihanna , is the only song of drake that getts air play, and thats every so often!!! nicki has moment for life, your love , supper bass aswell as others , and her features ,aswell as her collabs on the music chanels all the time over the past 2 years!!!!! drake doesnt , i dont see headlines all the time or the motto on , actually come to think about it , i dont see miss me on anymore !!! nicki always on

    PB is your man for his stuff conor, i don't like any of it tbh.
    A lot of my friends are listening to "headlines" by drake, i don't know whether it's an album or a song though.

    Alrite I will look into it, I must be missing something everyone and their grandmother seems to like his music.

    Headlines is all about money money money, nice beat though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭dee.


    Headlines is a good song but I prefer Crew Love and Underground Kings. You can probably check them out on YouTube before you buy the album/songs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,213 ✭✭✭PrettyBoy

    Off the top of my head..
    • Successful
    • The Calm
    • Unforgettable
    • Light Up
    • Underground Kings
    • Crew Love
    • I'm On One
    • Aston Martin Music

    Try these, should give you a good idea of what he's like.
