'Right By My Side' is Nicki Minaj's latest single off of her album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, out now. Nicki does look sad when she's seated alone out by the grotto or whatever, but we're not sure why - she just got a bunch of new clothes! And a car! Silver lining, sister. Don't smother them.) Chris Brown steps in for his verse, which is basically just him on a sound stage, and then the video ends and you're wondering if there was a story arc you missed. (Or for 'Starships.') The clip opens as Nas starts loving up on Nicki hard: he buys her a new whip, he takes her shopping on a Rodeo Drive look-alike street, and then he just smokes a cigar on the hood of a car for a little bit. Fair trade, IMHO.ĭirector Benny Boom is really in love with the slo-mo effect, and we can't be that mad at it - 'Right By My Side' is a slow jam, y'all. But she'll return the favor with a ton of slo-mo hair tossing. A Nicki boyfriend (played here by Nas!) would be responsible for gifting Nicki some posh-ass s***, like designer shopping sprees and expensive cars I can't identify. I’m in a great place and I just wish everybody the best.If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be in a relationship with Nicki Minaj, her new 'Right By My Side' video (featuring Chris Brown) gives fans a pretty good idea. British group Stooshe supported the Obviously what I would wear at home is not what I would wear up on stage and I think, when Im at home its a way more introspective character and I think the person people see on Alicia Keys, and even Angela.

I gave everyone their props and it’s unfortunate that people felt intimidated and attacked me. The up-and-coming females who wanted to get in-when you guys are coming out and dissing me, and all that negativity….They saw me as a threat instead of seeing me as “she’s going to open the door for us.” I never came into what I’m doing dissing anyone. So in order for my theory to be proven right, I have to open doors for women.

I said, “Every time a door opens for me/That means you just got a better opportunity to do you/Better understand these labels look at numbers and statistics/If I win, you win, it’s just logistics.” When I first got in, doing freestyles and mixtapes, I did a song called “Still I Rise.” I was talking about how so many women were pulling me down and ripping me apart. So new female artists are viable, and that creates a more competitive atmosphere. Corporations see a female rapper who has more visibility and more income streams than her male counterparts. Since the success of Pink Friday you must see that the industry has changed. Now, labels are going to think they can re-create this. And then I took it upon myself to create this artist, Nicki Minaj. My morals and everything, they’re still the same. It makes me cringe.ĭid you always know what you wanted your brand to be? If you’re in this shit, talking about how you just want to be an artist, you’re fucking stupid. All artists should want to learn the business as they go along. Not sexually-I just love being enlightened. I learn from him every day, and I’m very, very turned on by people that I learn from. I’ve never been happier with my current management, because Gee Roberson is such an intelligent man.

I just don’t allow anyone around me who drops the ball constantly. I’m not walking around saying I know everything. I love collaborating with creative people. Hip-Hop hipsterness for everyone!ĭo you always feel like the smartest person in the room? Is she actually rapping or making another attempt to become Britney Spears on the road to release for her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, due out next month? Let’s listen together, shall we? Elsewhere, Minya Oh aka Miss Info, another Parlour homie, penned Onika’s second cover story for Complex magazine, and the publication is also celebrating their tenth anniversary. Thanks to the homie Aqua at Hip Hop Wired, I’m listening to Nicki Minaj‘s collaboration with 2 Chainz, a Parlour favorite.
