Nicki Minaj – “The Pinkprint Freestyle” [AUDIO]

Ariana Grande - Side To Side ft. Nicki Minaj (screengrab)

Nicki Minaj is the latest to get on Young MA’s “OOOUUU!” spitting vicious, boastful bars on “The Pinkprint Freestyle.” After she slaughters the “OOOUUU!” instrumental the YMCMB first lady switches over to island vibes with raps over a dancehall beat. Good to see Nicki rapping again.

QUOTABARZ

“Young MA is the female Jay/I’m a brand according to what retail say/Yeah, my tours be selling out on pre-sale day / Plus, I got the TIDAL queen stream, press replay.”

“But if you thirsty I own a Sangria/Shoutout to Fox Brown I don’t mean Pam Greer/I got a sign that say lames can’t hang here.”

“Bitch I come back like Jordan in his Flu Games, and when I shoot it’s all net.”

Drake – “Childs Play” [VIDEO]

Drake drops a 12-minute cinematic video for “Childs Play” co-directed by himself and Spiff TV.

The video opens with Drizzy literally going to Cheesecake Factory with his video girlfriend Tyra Banks. The two are celebrating their anniversary but the event goes sour when he leaves his phone on the table, and Tyra reads a revealing text resulting in cheesecake being smothered on his face and red wine poured over him.

Drizzy shoots the second scene at Houston’s famous strip club V-Live, where he makes it rain with his OVO and Rap-A-Lot family. The V-Live ladies bust it down on the strip pole and “bounce that shit like whoa.”

It seems the 6 God is going back to his acting days as he has announced he will be premiering his short film ‘Please Forgive Me’ on September 30th. Stay tuned.

And we alright, the KO kins on big o’ rims
And LA hoes, if that ain’t rolled up, I ain’t go” – Isaiah Rashad

“I made enough residuals to hide some
I gave enough, my niggas know I divide some

Been like that for a while now, I’m twenty-nine
Any nigga that disagree is a fuckin’ liar
Pardon me, see my alter ego was Gemini” – Kendrick Lamar

“Might stay in the Trump tower for one week
Spray paint all the walls and smoke weed
Fuck them and fuck y’all and fuck me” – Kendrick Lamar
