This new song for the KatyCats and Barbz has been giving me LIIIIIIFE all morning long.
The single dropped around midnight Friday for those who pre-ordered the Katy Perry's new album Witness . 
The duo teased the collab on social media and since the song's release everyone thinks Perry is targeting Taylor Swift while Nicki is obviously firing shots at Remy Ma....which I'm over.
Nicki, you lost boo...move on.

What do you guys think of the song?
Is this a pop-diss track?
Whatever it is, I'm a fan.

Nicki Minaj FINALLY Claps Back at Remy Ma with Three Singles

Well, it's about damn time!
Nicki Minaj has FINALLY responded to both of Remy Ma's diss tracks with three singles hitting music sharing sites No Frauds, Changed It and Regret in Your Tears all dropped on the interwebs Thursday evening. No Frauds includes her YMCMB brothers Lil Wayne and Drake and Changed It features just Wayne. . Basically, Nicki waited to actually MAKE money on the diss records...according to her post on Instagram.
She challenges Remy to respond in 72 hours and offering to pay her a half-a-million dollars if she can get an interview and NOT mention Minaj.

Team Remy and Team Nicki have been at odds for almost two weeks after Remy dropped ShEther. Fans were waiting for Nicki's response and assumed she just couldn't fight back lyrically. Meanwhile we saw her take her lyrical fingers to social media starting a beef with Trey Songz and posting pictures of her famous friends. We basically had to wait for her to return from Paris Fashion Week to finally respond and here we are.

In No Frauds, Minaj raps, “You can’t be Pablo if your work ain’t sellin’ / What the f— is this bitch inhalin’? / Tried to drop ‘Another One,’ you was itchin’ to scrap / You exposed your ghostwriter / Now you wish it was scrapped." Minaj also touches on Remy's personal life, especially when she went to prison.

On the Eve of Nicki's responses, Remy did an interview expressing how she wish she would've done  things differently when it came to she and Nicki:

After explaining that it was the behind-the-scenes career interference that ultimately pushed her to release “Shether,” she noted that she wishes things could’ve gone differently between her and Minaj. “I actually liked her but don’t try and come for me,” she said. “It just bothers me that me picking apart another female is what went viral. We could’ve done this working together.” When Nigatu asked why that didn’t happen, Remy responded, “It wasn’t me, I just think it would’ve been cooler if we came together and did something crazy and that’s what everyone was talking about. I don’t regret it, I’m just not particularly proud of it.”

Some critics say Remy's rethinking the diss tracks because rumors were swirling that Nicki asked Nas to prevent Remy from performing the song because of his rights to the song's beat which comes from his own diss track, Ether. However, TMZ has found that Nas didn't have an issue with it, Universal did. Basically, they didn't like that Remy took Nas' beat and made money off of it without their permission. So, the song has been taken off of Soundcloud and the radio.
So, Remy had to take a BIGGER L.

So what's your opinion on the beef?

Could these two kiss and make up and come up with a fire record? 

Nicki Minaj Responds to Remy Ma Diss with Beyonce IG Post

USA Today

It was only a matter of time before Remy Ma was to finally go in on Nicki Minaj. Since her release from being in prison, everyone was curious as to how Remy and Kim would get along.
At first things seemed cool, Remy even congratulated Nicki on winning BET' Female Rapper of the Year", then on Phresher's Wait a Minute  (Remix) Remy raised eyebrows by her line:
Will I smoke this bitch? / Yes” and “That ghostwriter ’bout to call her / That lifeline getting shorter / R.I.P. Biggie Smalls, why the f*ck they ain’t want her

We were all wondering if this was about Nicki or not...

Fast forward to February 24th,  Gucci Mane released Make Love featuring Nicki, and it’s pretty evident she’s talking about Remy with the line Oooohhh, oh you the qu-e-e-the queen of this here? One platinum plaque, album flopped, bitch, where? (bitch, where?)”

Then that's when Remy released her beast titled ShEther famously paying homage to Nas' diss track Ether fired at JayZ way back when they had beef. Ether is the epitome of rap diss tracks.

ShEther bodies Nicki and is what rap fans have been waiting to hear!

This diss track is 6 minutes of pure fire.
Keep in mind this is the SECOND female rap legend to go after Nicki with a diss. Remember Lil' Kim's Black Friday back in 2010?
There's no hook, no celebrity features....just FULL hip-hop! She beings the track with an old recording of Nicki yelling Free Remy!

Remy fires the ultimate shots by mentioning her relationship with her YMCMB family, her exes Meek Mill and Safaree, her butt and her wardrobe choices.
The diss includes lines like

“Are you dumb? You a pink diamond chicken wing chain. You had a leather beehive on your head. Are you forgettin’ that I pressed you before, bitch?”
Then, the verbal hay-makers commence. “I saw Meek at All-Star; he told me your ass drop/He couldn’t fuck you for three months because your ass dropped/NowI don’t think you understand how bad her ass got/The implants that you had put in her ass popped,” she raps.

 You was screaming ‘Free Remy’ when I was upstate doomed /But now that they freed Remy, you don’t sing the same tune,” and, “How are you on the VMAs acting like you hood? / Way across the stage, talking ‘bout ‘Miley, what’s good?’ / That’s Hannah Montana, she was always happy / You only fronted on Mariah ‘cause Mariah don’t carry / Tried to disrespect Taylor ‘cause Taylor wasn’t Swift enough.

 In response to this track, Nicki took to social media posting a screenshot of an article stating how Remy's album with Fat Joe Platos o Plomo  hasn't done well on the charts (which she has since taken down).

 

Then Nicki posted the ULTIMATE response by posting a free-style song of BEYONCE calling Nicki the Rap Queen.

Then in a turn of events, somehow Trey Songz was involved.
IDK about that one, but regardless I'm hoping Nicki takes this beef off of social media and to the studio.
All rap fans who've been fans of Nicki prior to Pink Friday have been waiting for the old Nicki to come back and by actually rapping. No gimmicks.

Maybe this will light a fire under her. 

DrakeWatch: Drake & Nicki Post a Picture Together and Meek Mill is Salty

Instagram @nickiminaj

For years Drake and Nicki Minaj have been teasing us about getting together and not getting together. Drizzy told the world he'd marry her, Nicki gave him a lapdance, but then Nicki was tied down to her longtime boo Safaree and Drake dated everyone else and put us on a roller coaster ride of emotions with Rihanna.
Then Nicki got with Philly rapper Meek Mill who started a losing beef with Drake after the Degrassi alum murdered him on his diss track Back to Back. Then we were presented with Abrih then DraLo while Nicki decided to dump Meek...and now on the 'gram the pair are taking a selfie.
Look, i'm just as confused as you all are, but one thing is for sure...MEEK IS NOT HAPPY.

On his odd instagram account he reposted the photo of the pair with the caption:

meekmill.4🤔🤔🤔🤔I Guess Corny Niggas Back In Style 😂😂 and take my slides off I bought u

He even tagged Nicki in the photo and Drake was tagged as nut_a$$_n!@@a$

Very mature.

Then he really hit his point home when he posted this photo with Lil' Kim who Nicki famously has issues with since 2010.

This who really run New York ! Lil Kim Wasup @lilkimthequeenbee

A photo posted by Meek Mill (@meekmill.4) on Feb 1, 2017 at 10:06am PST

I'm not sure if this instagram of Meek's is legit or not since he deactivated @meekmill due to other salty post-breakup photos. Meek, move on and be the bigger man and keep quiet.

Throwback Monday

                                            Because this is a classic and I need new music from Lil Wayne.

Throwback Monday

                                                           
I'm lucky to see the Summer Sixteen tour this weekend! So, it's only fitting I choose a Drake oldie. However, this one got me in my feelings as YMCMB is kind of a mess right now. Who would've thought 7 years later from this song Birdman and Weezy wouldn't be talking?
Sad.

We all know I have a lot of love for Drizzy.

I drool over his posts on the 'Gram daily, especially with him sporting the beard.

His posts are funny, witty, adorable and cheesy.

Where does he get it from?

Well, now we know.

Throwback Monday

  This song reminds me of my early 20's when I wanted to be on a 24 hour champagne diet.

Drake Collaborates with Aaliyah on "Enough Said"

Drake's Aaliyah earpiece
necolebitchie.com

We all know Drizzy has a huge fascination with the late-Aaliyah, and now he finally has his wish to collaborate with her. Well, posthumously.

On Sunday night, the YMCMB star released the single on his blog.

The song is described as an Aaliyah song featuring Drake. Some entertainment blogs are saying it's a continuation of the Rihanna collabo, Take Care.

Take a listen and let me know what you think!

Nicki Minaj's Video for 'Starships'

Watching this video I feel like I'm 15 again watching TRL with Carson Daly.
Translation: This video belongs in 2001 during the boy band- teen pop-era.

By watching this video the first thought that came into my head was Nicki sold out. I'm not a feminist or anything that denounces women with bangin' bodies scantily clad running down the beach. Hell, if I had a body like Nicki's...I'd do it in a heartbeat.
While it was refreshing to see Minaj act a little "normal" in a video for once, the condept didn't make sense to me and it looks like her YMCMB team are doing whatever they can to showcase her ba-donk-a-donk. Hello, Stupid Hoe and Beez in the Trap!?
So her latest videos are her just shaking her ass like a video vixen *borin* *yawn*.
Also, the thought of her wig getting all of that sand in it, kind of grosses me out.
The Prophet Blog likens her video to that of Heidi Montag's:
“Isn’t it funny that Heidi’s cheap videos were just filmed on a camcorder by Spencer Pratt, while Nicki’s clip was done by a famous director with major label funding, yet the videos are essentially the same?”

Nicki Minaj Debuts "Stupid Hoe" music video

Once Nicki revealed the release date of her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, I got really excited....until: Roman in Moscow and Stupid Hoe were released as singles and she pushed back the release date from February to April.

When I first heard Stupid Hoe, I knew right away it was shots fired at Lil' Kim. The song starts off cool, then just gets plain boring. Repeating Stupid Hoe over 100 times in a 3-4min track just sounds like an elementary school-jump-rope-song or a song you made up on the fly while trying to diss your high school enemy....not a single off of your second album!
After listening to this track, no wonder people are saying good music is dying. I prefer Big Sean's "Dance A$$" over this horrid song.

Then Nicki released the video collaborating with Hype Williams.....a stupid video to match an even more stupid song. I just don't get the concept. It seems like the YMCMB team wasted their baby money on this one.
C'mon, Nicki! Stop selling out. Produce a quality hip-hop album.....not watered-down pop!
At one point in the video Minaj is in a cage and kind of resembles the Queen Bee, but all in all....the entire video is lame.

I'm just getting really tired of Nicki's over-the-top looks. It's getting old. She does look pretty in the video. However, for a Hype Williams joint....this video doesn't look like it took much creativity or money to make.

Sorry, Nicki. I just keep getting disappointed by you.
