NICKI MINAJ - STUPID HOE [MUSIC VIDEO]

Why you ask?  Well my guilty pleasure is looking at Nicki Minaj, then seeing Hype did a video that finally looked like he did it...I'm intrigued.

BEST OF 2011: FEATURES

I'll start with features because this category isn't about artist and their song.  Every other category has more to do with the artist themselves and their product.  This is my opinion so you don't have to agree...in my eyes these are the guest appearances that made you forget whose project you were listening too.  This about that extra addition that made you run the track back or go yo is that...?

NICKI MINAJ: MY TIME NOW via MTV (VIDEO)

Nicki Minaj: My Time Now - Celebrity News

I have a thing for Nicki, NO I am not a fan of Nicki Minaj exactly; but I respect her grind and her ability to rap. It's just her sound that I don't think is necessarily for me. BUT I must say that this documentary was dope as hell. I have a true respect for her now after seeing and hearing her goals, what she's done to get to this point and her desire to provide for her family. Getting to see some of these artists personally helps gather more interest in an artist and respect for them. I think more pieces like this by the "majors" are needed. You can't always "get to know" an artist by reading 140 characters or "liking" their newest photo gallery...sometimes you need more substance. Even if you don't like Nicki Minaj, check this video out. I think it's about 7 parts to this that run one after the other. If you like Nicki, Pink Friday is in stores now.

DR. DRE on XXL COVER

Pretty much Detox is official as the promo train for the album has kicked into high gear at this point.  Dre says in his interview that he will retire from the mic after this album but still feels that he will continue to work with new talent because of his love for music.  As you know he gave the homie Kendrick Lamar a huge shout the other day on the radio.  In this issue they also give Kanye another XXL rating (ummmmm)...they also talk to Deb Antney, the woman who really put a push behind Gucci, Nicki, Lex Luger and of course her son Waka Flocka Flame.  Articles with Swizz and Nicki are also featured.  Could be a pretty interesting issue.  This is for the Dec/Jan issue which shall be on stands soon enough.

LLOYD BANK$ TALKS COMPETITION w/ KANYE WEST & NICKI MINAJ on RAP-UP (VIDEO)

Lloyd Banks discusses dropping on the same day as Nicki Minaj and Kanye West as well as how Start It Up came to be.  A quick but pretty good interview as he touches on how this is probably a better thing for hip hop that all three of them are dropping rather than looking at it as a bad thing.  Peep it out.  I know I'll buy Lloyd Banks' album definitely, I'm still on the fence with the other two.

CASH MONEY in LOS ANGELES (VIDEO)

Cash Money and Young Money invade Los Angeles and some surrounding cities like San Diego and Santa Barbara during Drake's tour stops.  You'll see some backstage action, some performances, Nicki Minaj, oh and girls passing out and Baby Birdman Stunna, etc chilling on private jets while the YM camp gets around presumably on a bus.  I had to laugh at that for some reason...footage from Derick G.

DRAKE x NIPSEY HUSSLE x NICKI MINAJ & MORE IN LA (VIDEO)

As the city knows...Drake made a tour stop last night at Club Nokia and Drake made sure to pull out all the stops.  He performs some new stuff, brought out Soulja Boy, Nipsey Hussle, Nicki Minaj, Tyga and some of his Young Money fam.  Here is pretty much the entire show brought to you by the Rap-Up.  Enjoy.

NICKI MINAJ x DR. JAYS PHOTOSHOOT

I mean it has nothing to do with anything but some of you guys (and gals) I'm hearing like her for your different reasons. So I figured why not throw some randomness in on hump day.
