Nicki Minaj Gives Us Second Single “Barbie Tingz” Here We Go Again

Leave a comment

So after listening to “Chun Li” from Nicki Minaj, we said to ourselves that there has to be more to this! The track was cool, but with the anticipation, she could have just made a drop. But she is not Beyoncé right? Any-who, Nicki gave bars on “Barbie Tingz”. Again, she has this alter-ego that becomes sort of weird. We just wished she came super hard because the potential is extreme. Seems like she playing safe. Her deliverance on this track is much harder than the last track “Chun-Li”. The motives of these tracks seems to be that she wants the world to know who holds the Queen crown. She did better on “Motorsport”! But hey, we just awaiting for more! NEXT!!!!

Nicki Minaj Drops New Single Today “Chun-Li” Listen Now!

Leave a comment

Nicki Minaj comes out to play, again. Nicki has the song “Chun-Li” which is inspired from Street Fighter. After listening to the track, she infers that critics says she the villain. She calls herself “King Kong”.

She becomes the “Chun Li” alter-ego, she creates a quiets storm with the track. We believe she could have came more direct with her message. If shots are being thrown, or perhaps she feel she is a threat, speak upon that. The production of the track is nice yet off and fits the motives of “Chun Li”. We can see Nicki is sending a message that she holds the titles of the championship. We need more energy from Nicki. Nicki is truly one of Hip-Hop’s most influential artists period. Let’s see what the other track sounds like!

You can listen to “Chun Li” below!

Leave a comment

Now we thought we have seen it all, but Drake has become the Spokesman for Woman across the world with “Nice For What”. As he tease fans saying a new track produced by Murda Beatz is on the way, he then drops “Nice For What” video last night. With samples of Lauryn Hill (Ex Factor) and New Orleans bounce with Big Freedia, DJ Blaq and Mild, and 5th Ward Webbie sample across the song, he doing it for the culture. With Cardi B’s debut album being released, Drake shed some major light with his highlight of the month, or maybe the year?

The OVO General debuts the video with a star studded cast of woman. Featuring Issa Rae, Tiffany Haddish, Rashida Jones, Tracee Ellis Ross, Letitia Wright from Black Panther, and many, many more.

With the production, we salute Drake as we are New Orleans Natives. The track starts off with Big Freedia, New Orleans Bounce Artist. It had us in awe that the super artist praise our culture the way he does. The song has an upbeat to it and gives you a reason to move. He embraced New Orleans culture from the roots with this one. This should make everyone smile from the hometown. He dedicates it to the ladies, and praises them as well. Throughout the video, Drake displays all of these successful women living their best of life. We salute Drake for such another dope video. “God’s Plan” topped the cake, but now is another anthem especially for the women across the nation.

Throwback Thursday: #FREEMEEKMILLS

Leave a comment

Meek was right when he stated that his mixtape is better than your album. If you wasn’t a fan of Meek’s Dream Chasers August 11th in 2011, how did you live life? DJ Drama and Maybach Music Group presented on of the best mixtapes ever. The tape consists of 20 heartfelt tracks filled with dreams and success that comes behind capturing it. Every track on Dream Chasers was relate-able, especially to a street nigga. Philly’s own had music that reached out to every hood across the nation. What do you think Meek got when he come home from prison? We believe Meek is going to whistle blow the frauds in this rap game.

With production by All Star, The Beat Bully, Jahlil Beatz, Lex Lugar, Cardiak, Southside, and more. You can check out the tracklist below.

“Tony Montana” was one of the best freestyles to ever surface. Meek punished the Future beat. He should have been on the original track in our opinion. “Body Count” featuring Rick Ross was also a favorite.

“What’s your body count, nigga? I’m double digits!”

“Realest You Ever Seen” featuring NH was a street favorite of ours. The song summarized the title “Dream Chasers”. It was a vivid track especially at the time the tape dropped. Meek is a special artist. We admire his past work such as Dream Chasers. As he elevated in his career, his lingo changed, for the better or worse? Some may say he fell off. Or maybe he just bossed up with a different lifestyle now? Besides that, we have to pay homage to the Young Big Dawg in the game. The guy who had Nicki Minaj, the guy some may have gave up on one before, Meek Milly. We pray for him and his family for his release.

Cardi B Gives Us Her New Single “Be Careful” Listen Now!

Leave a comment

Cardi B is giving her fans a run with her new single “Be Careful” which dropped today at midnight.

After listening to the track, she did this for the ladies. She speaks to her man, letting him know to be careful by treating her right. There are issues with dating and cheating in today’s society. She speaks on giving respect, showing you care, and being truthful in a relationship. As reviewing this song, she should have became more in-depth with her character. Her rhythm was off at moments. Even the hook, if you listen, you will it. The motive of the track is pretty cool, especially for women who can relate.

Cardi actually been invading the charts and became a household name.

Bronx Sensation will be debuting her new album “Invasion of Privacy” April 6th.
