In a recent New York magazine feature, Michael K. Williams, aka Omar Little from The Wire, revealed that he uses music to help craft characters. Be it two or three songs or a long playlist, ... read more
Rappers are a flamboyant bunch. They have all kinds of cool ways to talk about themselves. Not the least of which is coming up with cool nicknames that have made [...]
1. "New God Flow" - Kanye West & Pusha T. Kanye performed his then-unheard verse live at the BET Awards, and the full song dropped the next day. This song is absolute damage, with some of the best production we've heard this year. It was produced by unknown producers Tapez & Boogz, but they absolutely kill it with this beat. Pusha T is in contention, if not in the lead, for the artist of the year, and he continues his tear with two sick verses here. Kanye ends it with a verse of his own. Kanye West & [...]
As Young Money's resident Barbie, Nicki Minaj endeared herself with her 2010 debut LP, Pink Friday . Over the course of 13 tracks, Minaj revealed her wacko, borderline schizophrenic beauty, dropping a mass of revolting-yet-alluring flows. Yet she balanced those traits with pure thuggish tendencies, out-streeting even the most gangster of male compatriots. And, for an assortment of reasons no doubt associated with her princess complex, she also had fantasies of being a female songbird a la Rihanna. So, what happens when Minaj enters the studio for round two, only to strip away [...]
Despite Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded being borderline unlistenable starting track one (sad face), I did find this hidden gem. Although, I think I may give cred to Drake, Young Jeezy and Nas rather than Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj - Champion (feat. Drake, Nas, Young Jeezy)
Hip-hop spectacle and schizophrenic MC Nicki Minaj adds another chapter to her Pink Friday collection with "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" , which suggested a heavy focus on Roman, one of her many alter-egos. Even though she doesn’t seem to have learned any new tricks, Nicki Minaj fans will rejoice at the prospect of new material from the newly appointed hip-hop queen. From the first notes of “Roman Holiday,” Minaj sounds at odds with the sort of music she’s attempting to sing. Her comically faux-British accent only emphasizes her [...]
FILTH. Surprisingly Nicki Minaj gathers a very legitimate group of rappers and doesn't do too bad herself.

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?
So Nicki Minaj has dropped the latest track from her forthcoming new record Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded , and this one boasts some incredible cameos by name: Nas, Drake, and Young Jeezy all drop in on this ballad-esque jam, but is it enough to resurrect some positive hype following the lacklustre lead single 'Roman Reloaded' and 'Starship'? Unfortunately, it's all played very safe - the whole track unravels like a Derren Brown stunt you just know has been completely rehearsed and created with the intention to create an 'illusion', and the three big names [...]
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
"This is for the hood, this is for the kids, this is for the single mothers, aggins doin' bids" After getting flooded with a bi-polar string of singles from Nicki [...]
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 [...]
Nas, Drake and Young Jeezy lend their services to this track off Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded , in stores April 3rd. Nicki Minaj Ft. Nas, Drake & Young Jeezy – Champion is a post from: That Hip Hop Blog
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 [...]
