The Queen Of Paypal????



I'm not even gonna hate on Kim's hustle. Nowadays artist are skipping record labels all together and releasing music directly from their websites. Why not treat the people that love you the most (the fans) 2 goodies and treats until the actual album is complete. Kim is no different right? So why all the hate.... Well here is my issue.


When you release a mixtape on a confirmed date either it's gonna drop on that actual date delivered by mail or better yet being able to download from Itunes.  None of that actually happened. 


Talk about a sour Valentine's Day.... There's no track listing and you actually have to wait until she signs the damn things to receive it. Pure genius or misleading?




While Kim will go down in rap history as one of the most influential and talked about female MC's off all time the way she's going about it is quite hilarious. Overall Kim has been a leading trending topic on the popular social network twitter and released the highly anticipated video for "Black Friday" the straight out the gate single off of the mixtape.  But It remains to be seen whether or not Kim will regain the star status she once had and hopefully allowing hip hop to once again embrace the Queen Bee. 


One thing is for certain female rap is once again alive and kicking with Nicki on the brink of releasing "Did It On Em" her 5th single, Foxy Brown throwing herself into the mix once again by news of her  prepping "Black Roses", and Kim's mixtape "Black Friday" the claws are out and femcees are once again dominating the musical hip hop scene.

Nicki and Drake Get Married.....

No not exactly but in her new video "Moment 4 Life" she does channel her inner Cinderella and tells her own story through the classic fairy tale. 






While I love the message the visual did nothing to take this song to the next level. The problem I have with Aubrey and Onika is that they somehow strayed away from their mixtape persona's and completely went to the inner core of pop over night... I miss the old "So Far Gone" Drake and the nasty female version of Wayne... Nevertheless I'm happy for the success of both artist and I can't wait to see what each artist cooks up on their sophomore efforts

Peeling back the layers of Pink Friday....


So Pink Monday... Tuesday... Friday or whatever is over with Nicki Minaj making history for a female rapper in 1st week sales which I congratulate. It seems she built her brand as a vibrant, sex influenced, female version of Lil Wayne. While we miss the "Old Nicki" she as transformed herself into the new age black Barbie denouncing her sexual bravado to a more reserved and laid back chick empowering young females whom she calls her "Barbies" and Kens.


Most people have compared her to Lil Kim, Busta Rhymes, Ol DB, and Ludacris.  She's animated with her quirky faces, crazy costumes, and colorful wigs something that's made her a standout among her peers. She's worked with just about all the big names in the Biz..


Jay-Z
Kanye
Mariah
Xtina
Eminem...


She has a resume that rivals even the most seasoned musical exec and there's seems to be no stopping her reign...


Well heres my personal opinion of Ms. Minaj....(In Short Form)


I think she's terrific and while I'm not very impressed with her debut album "Pink Friday" I do think she will become a long term staple in the biz.. I'm a lil upset her and Kim have this "Beef" but I'm sure the powers that be can hash out the cattiness and make amends. 


She has some great features on her new album although nothing that stands out as CLASSIC. I love her flow on "Roman's Revenge" and most of the songs she SINGS on.. something most people have complained about..


Save Me
Moment 4 Life Feat Drake
Last Change feat Natasha Bedingfield ... are great songs where she allows you to see the softer more slowed down version of Nicki..


In the end I believe Nicki has more of her story to tell while she establishes herself among her peers, the industry, as lastly her fans. Hate her or Love Her it's good to a see a female back in Hip Hop... I just hope we don't have to wait another 10years before we see another one..


Shout Out 2 Lil Kim... Let's eat this beef ish and make music again...

Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" album cover...



So this is the highly anticipated album cover from rap's newest and brightest female mc in a very long time Nicki Minaj. I must admit I'm excited to see what Miss "Roman" has in store as she's set to drop her long awaited "Pink Friday" in November. Originally slated to drop November 23rd, Nicki has moved up the release date by a day as she is set to go head to head with new albums from Kanye West and Ne-yo as well as a greatest hits compilation from Jay-Z. Which ever way the balls drops everybody is a sure winner. All the above artist have great music and good music is something that's absence on the musical landscape nowadays. I just sure hope she lives up to her hype because it was only a few years ago she was killing on the mixtape scene.

Diddy/Rick Ross/T.I/Dirty Money - Hello.. Good Morning {Video}



I really like the song and video was typical Diddy.. I kinda loved the version with just T.I.. a least we could see more of Dawn/Kaleena.... Anyway I'm hoping the video can hopefully get the album off the ground and in stores.. I just saw a preview of the remix version he has with Nicki Minaj.. not understanding why they didn't just use T.I for the regular version and have Rick Ross and Nicki for the remix video.. whatever I guess.. I'll enjoy both I'm sure.

I Don't really care for the song as a 1st single but I'm not gonna go in and murder the video in it's entirety... She looked really hot and the visuals were on point. Wish I could of seen more of Amber Rose but overall I give it a B..

Usher Feat Nicki Minaj {Lil Freak Video}

Usher ft. Nicki Minaj Lil Freak [Extended Version]

Okay So I wasn't completed interested in this new Usher album "Raymond V Raymond" but after hearing and seeing the video for "Lil Freak" feat Nicki Minaj I'm convinced I was on to something... While the album is nothing compared to Confessions I do in some instances find comparisons to both is previous albums... Anyway the song is very catchy and I can see this being a very big hit for him and Nicki...The Clubs will most definitely eat this up..

This song is very much so my new #GuiltyPleasure
