Nicki Minaj has been on a hiatus for about three years now and she is finally waking up. Just a week after Cardi B’s debut album, Nicki Minaj slapped us in the face and showed us who really is the queen of rap. Nicki seems to be gaining inspiration from the new females in rap and she has stepped up her game. For a long time Nicki’s verses felt uninspiring and overdone, but on these new tracks, she experiments with new flows and personas.
Currently, fans are in a war about what is the best song but I think I am going to have to give it to “Chun-Li.” Not only are the lyrics amazing in this song, the flow and general feeling of this song are different for Minaj. I thought Roman was going to make an appearance on the track but it feels like she is doing a toned down version of him. She is definitely channeling a personality that is mad and wants vengeance- but is also above it.
The chorus is where the song really shines:
“Ayo, I been on, bitch, you been conned Bentley tints on, Fendi prints on I mean I been Storm, X-Men been formed He keep on dialin’ Nicki like the Prince song I-I-I been on, bitch, you been conned Bentley tints on, Fendi prints on Ayo, I been off, Lara been Croft Plates say Chun-Li, drop the Benz off”
“Barbie Tingz” is also a really strong track that pokes fun at the new rappers in the game by stating that Nicki, Drake, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z were the original top three trendsetters. Is this a diss track for Cardi b and the Migos? Anyway, Cardi and Nicki have been in some drama lately due to a miscommunication on Nicki’s video and verse for their collaboration, “MotorSport.” I wouldn’t want to mess with Nicki because now you know she will drop one of the best songs in her career a week after your debut album release.
So apparently, while Philly’s Lil Uzi Vert has been working on a lot of new music he’s left his account in the hands of a few people including his manager. Earlier today, the rapper’s account posted up something strange and it took me a second to pick up what is really going on in this industry.

I guess it’s his manager that posted that up.. at least that’s who it sounds like. Uzi’s label, Atlantic Records have been screwing him over lately, and Uzi’s a smart guy so I think what’s happening is a fake kidnapping lol. The label can’t stop nor get angry with Uzi for dropping new music if it’s leaked! So, why not have some fun and play along? Uzi and his team didn’t waste any time. Just now Uzi’s long term producer DP Beats dropped one of their collab’s together titled, “Bandz (Bye, Bye, Birdie)” rand it’s lit. I hope Uzi continues to “leak” more music, and even though idgaf about Atlantic (They can eat a big one) I hope that they can set aside their differences in the mean time and pay him the bread he earned! We know Uzi’s been going through some sh*t, but they don’t gotta do him like that! Listen to he new banger below and tell us what you think. Stay tuned to see if Lil Uzi Vert drops more fire.
We told you Rae Sremmurd‘s Swae Lee was dropping something new today! While gearing up for the release of his upcoming solo LP, Swaecation, he shared this new tropical-flavored song titled “Guatemala” featuring his brother/partner Slim Jxmmi. Listen to it below.
STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING and tune into these two Nicki Minaj songs that just dropped. “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li” have been buzzing all over the internet, and her fans are losing their minds. As a real Nicki fan myself, I honestly can’t agree. I won’t lie I fell into the hype at first, but after listening I was a bit upset. I expected a lot more. I prefer “Barbie Tingz” over the other, and so would any true Nicki fan. Check them out and tell me what YOU think. Nicki’s a veteran and been in this game for years, she gotta represent!
Stay tuned for The Doughboy Project Anticipation! Newark’s finest, DJ Doughboy is dropping his second project, which is a DJ compilation album that featuring Pop and Hip Hop artists. The six song EP will hit the streets this summer and will feature great local talent. You won’t want to miss this one.
