Im still not a huge Nicki fan but this track is pretty ill. Besides, how can you go wrong with this type of feature line-up. Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded hits shelves April 3rd.
If you’re looking for a new song to imagine walking in slow-motion to after you kick ass at something (sporting event, video game, midterm exam, it doesn’t matter) we found it – it’s Nicki Minaj’s “Champion,” the latest leaked cut from her next record Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded . The track’s five minutes of a backbeat we can best describe as chillwave, presided over by a triumphal posse of Drake , Young Jeezy (who sounds like he’s losing his voice, but delivers anyway), Nas , and Minaj herself. Roman Reloaded [...]
If you didn't know, Nicki Minaj's next album is due next week. I haven't really been checking out the leaks form the album but I gave "Champion" a spin because of the line up, which don't dissapoint but the track as a whole falls pretty short. Also why didn't anyone offer Jeezy a cough drop?
Nicki Minaj's sophomore album, Pinky Friday: Roman Reloaded, on April 3rd. While I haven't been too fond of Nicki's new material, I can rock with the more straight-forward and slowed down "Champion" featuring Drake, Nas, and Young Jeezy. It's a celebration for the ghetto, as Nicki repeats in the chorus accompanied and traveled verses. Nicki Minaj: "Champion" feat Drake, Nas, and Young Jeezy

I seriously can't stand her, but even I have to admit this jawn is flames. Well done, Nicki. Nicki Minaj - Champion ft. Drake, Young Jeezy & Nas Who had the best verse? For me, it's a deadlock between Jeezy and Nas. Jizzle went hard, but this is honestly the best verse I've heard from Esco in years. Tough call. Listen: Nicki Minaj - Champion ft. Drake, Young Jeezy & Nas |
Nicki Minaj, the queen of new pop, has shed her bubble gum exterior and put Roman on timeout with new track, "Champion." With those distinctions aside, don't expect her "I Get Crazy" hyperactivity here, either. ... read more
Nicki Minaj's sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded drops next Tuesday, and the most star-studded of its track just found its way to the internet. "Champion" is a triumphal posse cut featuring the A-list trio of Drake, Young Jeezy, and Nas - each of whom sounds pretty strong, though maybe somebody should get Jeezy a cough drop or something. Listen below. Read More...
Nicki Minaj hops off her "Starships" for the downbeat "Champion", another cut off her forthcoming album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded . The mellow tune, which features verses from Nas, Drake and Young Jeezy, has Harajuku Barbie keeping it simple and low-key. Almost too low-key for a song about triumph that openly declares, "It's a celebration." Check it out below. Nicki Minaj feat. Nas, Drake & Young Jeezy - "Champion" "This is for the hood, this [...]

Now might be a good time to stop staring Nicki Minaj's booty from her "Starships" shoot to check out the tracks that will be making it onto her long awaited sophomore effort, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded . The pink hip hop diva doesn't hold back on the amount of hip hop heavyweights on the album including a collaboration with NAS, Drake and Young Jeezy on "Champion" and another team up with Cam'ron and Rick Ross on "I Am Your Leader." The whopping 22-track deluxe album also includes "Right By My Side," which features Chris Brown, as [...]

This week saw the release of Bat Chain Puller , the "lost" Captain Beefheart album. Although its songs have been available on various bootlegs, the album — recorded with Frank Zappa in 1976 — has never officially been released until now. In the intervening years, it's become something of a legend — not quite on the level of Smile or the lost David Bowie album, but still, a sought-after relic of a bygone era. And while it's finally getting an official release, there are still other similarly shelved records we'd love to hear but probably never will [...]
In my most recent review, of Raekwon’s Unexpected Victory , I called the Chef “probably the most gangsta rapper in the history of gangsta rap.” I still stand by that statement, but if we refine our focus from “history of gangsta rap” to “group of the ten most influential rappers in hip-hop today,” we can apply the statement to Rick Ross and throw the “probably” into the Atlantic Ocean strapped to a pair of concrete blocks. Rich Forever , the most significant hip-hop release of 2012 so far (sorry, T.I.), reaffirms Rozay’s status as the [...]
Before all you "hip-hop purists" poop on Rick Ross, take a second to realize how much of an impact this guy has been making on the genre. From his guest features to the formation of MMG, he is a force to be reckoned with. With that said, I can't help but show some love for the release of his highly anticipated mixtape, Rich Forever . Admittedly, I am spinning the hell out of this thing right now. With rap features and production from cats like Drake, Nas, Wale, Meek Mill, French Montana, Pharrell, Boi-1da, John Legend, Lex Luger, Chuck Inglish [...]
Health problems derailed the planned December release of Rick Ross ' fifth studio album, God Forgives, I Don't . With the LP now set to arrive later in 2012, hip-hop's self-proclaimed Boss offers a temporary stopgap with a free mixtape of all-new material. Entitled Rich Forever , the 19-track collection includes collaborations with Drake, Nas, John Legend, Wale, Diddy, French Montana, and move. Download your own copy via LiveMixtapes .
