@cube-fish: I agree, Minaj's verse on Monster is awesome (the best on the song). Her singles have been awful, but when I hear Monster or Drake's "Up All Night", I see such promise. She is legitimately funny and witty, and has a real comic edge to her rapping that doesn't detract from her overall image.
I think that Nicki Minaj can't really be judged yet because she hasn't released an album. Everyone thought Kid Cudi was dope until Man on the Moon came out (which was good, but not the era-defining album people thought it was going to be)
