Review: Nicki Minaj: “Pink Friday”

Rating – 7.0 out of 10

Pink Friday, the debut album from Young Money emcee Nicki Minaj, is the culmination of an intense promotion campaign and tremendous hype.  Labeling herself as “The best b***h doing it”, the Queens native’s album was highly anticipated, unique detour in a genre which has its share of regular monotony.  Nicki’s style is unique and creative – this we know after hearing her on numerous tracks and singles.  However, can all the hype sustain Pink Friday? Pink Friday is a great effort but listeners are likely to be left aching for more.  Nicki continually walks the fine line between Hip-Hop and Pop – tripping slightly along the way.  The album opens frenetically with the quickly paced “I’m The Best” – an airy song which evokes the “Barbie” image that Nicki has long lobbied for.  Nicki’s flow has been a regular feature on the charts and others’ singles, but as a soloist, cracks become visible. As Pink Friday progresses it becomes more obvious that Nicki’s “voice” and lyrics on some tracks fail to hold up the standard she exemplified on her songs with the likes of Ludacris (“My Chick Bad”), Kanye West (“Monster”) and others.  “Did It On Em”, one of the few Hip Hop-esque tracks on the CD, has a few bright spots but overall falls short of masterful.  On said track, she says “If I had a d*ck, I’d pull it out and p### on ‘em”.  Nicki’s singles shine brightly – “Right Thru Me” has a strong melody and great long term potential combined with “Your Love” and “Check It Out.” The apparent pop aspirations on Nicki’s freshmen effort will be the primary issue the Hip-Hop audience will wrestle. Pink Friday really isn’t an opus for the “heads.” “Dear Old Nicki” tells about the Nicki Minaj many newcomers never knew, the one before the outrageous fashion statements, multiple personas, underground mixtapes and DVD’s that go way back to 2007. An interesting song, “Dear Old Nicki,” tells the tale of the New Yorker’s musical past – something Nicki typically avoids. “Save Me” is one of the brightest spots of the entire album, oddly enought.  A calm melody combined with a fast paced yet relaxing track offers Nicki Minaj crooning over some drum-n-bass.  Nicki’s decencies are re-captured in in quality song composition, something most Hip-Hop albums lack.The lone Young Money feature on the album is Drake on “Moment For Life” another bright spot on the album.  Drake outshines Nicki on this song – unlike their previous venture “Up All Night,” where she bodied her homeboy. The phenomenal lyricist many want Nicki to become shows up on “Blazin”, only to be upstaged by a scorching verse from Kanye.  “Last Chance” featuring Natasha Bedingfield is a fitting closing to Pink Friday.Nicki Minaj’s album features few bright spots that work well, but for this reviewer, there are many dim spots as well.  As aforementioned – Nicki’s style while unique and clever – does not seem to be able to hold up the entire LP, especially if you listen with a Hip-Hop ear. The album is almost a wholly pop effort, that Nicki sprinkles with Hip-Hop just to remind us how hot she can be. The quintessential problem with Pink Friday is it doesn’t commit to Hip-Hop, but doesn’t fully measure up to Pop rappers like Fergie, Black Eyed Peas and others. It is almost like a really enticing movie preview, but being disappointed when you sit down for the actual film.  To her credit, Nicki has risen to the top of a food chain in music where others have faltered. However, her brand and musicianship is still growing and, with a frenetic base, she won’t suffer on Soundscan. The judge may only see some of the redeeming parts of Pink Friday. Now, we have to defer the rest to the jury.   Jacques Morel is the creator of www.IFuxksWithThat.com.

Superhead STAYS getting beaten and abused! She says all sorts of stuff and people either believe or they don’t. This time, she claims some unnamed PERSON beat her up, along with all these other things. You will see below…and then she signs the letter as “Karrine Steffans-McCrary.” UH HUH! As in Darius Creston McCrary aka Eddie Winslow! Personally, I think this is revenge, because a recent new movie shows Eddie (Darius) putting Superhead UNDER THE BUS! You know, she will always get revenge when she feels she has been betrayed. The letter is below! “For the past several years, I have been involved in a highly

abusive relationship. I have been choked, whipped with belts, thrown

about, berated, belittled, raped, and disregarded as a human being. I

have been abandoned and embarrassed, then, loved and coddled.

I have been caught in a vicious cycle and have left on many occasions, just to return.

I have found little support from my friends and family because I

complain, and I cry, then I go back for more. I go back knowing that,

one day, he’ll kill me but he’s all I have. He’s the only one who

understands because he’s stuck in this cycle, too.

When I try to confide in friends they ask, ‘Well, what did you do

to him? What did you say to him?’ They tell me, ‘You know how he is,

he’s never going to change, so why do you stay? You know what you’re

getting into. Don’t tell anyone because he’ll come out looking good and

you’ll only make yourself look bad.’ It’s always my fault.

I love him though it pains me to admit. It sickens me to know

that I will return to him in an instant and that the next time could be

the last time and that breath, my last breath. Still, I hold out hope

that one day we’ll learn how to love one another without pain. I pray

that those who look on with smirks and judgments know one thing ––

domestic violence is very real and, at times, very final.

If you, or someone you know, has been a victim of domestic

violence, please contact the National Domestic Abuse Hotline at (800)

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop star Kanye West will add to his discography today (November 22), when his fifth album, My Dark Twisted Fantasy lands in stores across the country. But the Chicago rapper is planning to expand his career beyond music, with a possible new clothing line with high-end clothing line with French Fashion label, Lanvin and a chain of fast-food restaurants. According to TheDailyBeast.com, Kanye West may turn into the next fast food mogul, as the rapper snatched up the franchise rights for 10 Fatburger restaurants in Chicago through his holding company, KW Foods LLC.“It’s safe to say that we’ll be doing more strategic partnerships in areas like fashion and design,” Gee Roberson told The Daily Beast. “Music is the foundation for everything Kanye does, but he doesn’t want to be defined only as a musician. He’s really a designer. He designs his sounds, his raps, all aspects of his tour. He wants to do deals where he can have his fingerprints on the product.”Kanye West, who already operates two of the restaurants in Orland Park and Beverly, joins a growing number of rappers who have invested money into the Fatburger franchise. Hip-Hop musician Pharrell Williams opened two Fatburgers in China, Queen Latifah reportedly owns several of the restaurants, while E-40 closed his Fatburger in California in 2008.

Hip-Hop: Don’t Kill Charles Hamilton

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: Uncategorized
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A couple weeks ago, we all bore witness to something that the Hip-Hop audience collectively got a big kick out of. The Charles Hamilton and Serius Jones Battle Part II – if you want to call it that.

The first encounter with these two was a spirited battle with a pair of mid-level rappers on the way up. Held at SOB’s – a major New York Hip-Hop hub – the first war of words ended with Serius serving CH, but everybody left feeling they had witness something special. It was more like a sports match.

At that time, Hamilton was still signed to Interscope Records. The young Harlem rapper hadn’t been punched in the face by his ex-girlfriend. He wasn’t embroiled in a war with the rap community of Detroit because he foolishly put the late J. Dilla as the EP of his album. He had not spent time in a psych ward with a seemingly unraveling mental health condition. At that time, Charles Hamilton was just another rapper that appeared to be going places far away with an eccentric personality, confounding affinity for Sonic the Hedgehog and an odd love for the color pink.

The recent battle was different than the first and more disturbing than anything Charles Hamilton has ever done. It appeared to be just another loss for Charles Hamilton, because there is no doubt he again was defeated by the cocky and cool Serius Jones.

The second time, CH rolled up on at a Harlem barbershop with somebody inside the place taping, an apparent attempt to redeem his previous loss to Serius Jones. What happened next was nothing shy of sorrowful.

CH looked disheveled. He looked fairly incoherent, even though his raps started off witty and sharp. Serius’ jabs were merciless and he even suggests that Hamilton kill himself. While in any other rap battle, this would be funny, Charles is clearly a man in dire need.

He was institutionalized for about a week this past summer in New York area hospital for his mental instability, something he felt the need to do himself. African American people represent about 25% of mental health cases in the U.S., despite being about 12% of the overall population, says the CDC. Black folks are also much less likely to get proper care. Incidentally, CH said he was more comfortable in NY Presbyterian Mental Hospital than walking the streets.

“Basically my stay here is like identical to my stay in the [music] industry. As far as being the new guy in here having to deal with politics and people trying to control you. The critics would have to be the doctors and the rounds [medicine guys],” he said to Bossip.com. “So you can say this is like an experiment to see if the industry is really like an asylum or if I was the one bugging. Some say the Industry is like high school but it’s just like a [mental hospital].”

Furthermore, there has been talk that Hamilton has been blogging about suicide. [Editor’s note: these blogs were not available to this writer.] I’m not suggesting that Serius Jones is really encouraging his rival to “off himself,” but he had to know something wasn’t all there. To be frank, CH looked like the dudes that come in the barbershop and offer to sweep the floor or sell some socks for a bit of money. He didn’t appear to be a rapper that once seemed on the cusp of superstardom.

Everybody got a huge laugh. I even laughed, because Serius may actually have a future in comedy. He’s that funny on a regular. But since…I really haven’t been able shake that video of CH. The hat. The oversize button-up with the brown jacket. The way he was ridiculed and rendered defenseless through insults fairly common in rap.

I once talked to Charles in the midst of the beef with Detroit over J. Dilla and I tried to get him to do some basic things to quell that situation. He essentially refused and fire raged into an inferno of controversy. For me, that was the first indication that he wasn’t fully engaged with reality and that’s not a statement of his mental health. He may have just been fiercely defiant. Since then, I have attempted to reach out to him, but not for a new interview. I just want to make sure this kid is OK, because I’m genuinely concerned. To this day, there have been no return calls and no reply to texts.

Understandable.

At the end of the day, I hate the way Hip-Hop has evolved in some ways. The comments are brutal under the video of Charles Hamilton and Serius Jones Battle Part II.  Clearly, CH is low, but his life isn’t over. Yet, Hip-Hop seems to be the only thing that he’s bent on doing. Sadly, there will always be an audience to observe his plummet, should there be more to see. I wonder if anybody considered NOT battling him in order to prevent a tragedy.

CH isn’t a tragedy yet.

Hopefully, he realizes that this industry is not worth sacrificing mental well-being just for a few youtube views or a momentary hit of publicity. I know the drug of music, Hip-Hop and fame is intoxicating, but just about everybody doing it is going to do some time in detox – like it or not.

I hope Charles Hamilton is already there until it is truly time to come back.

Until then, let him live.

OK? Thanks.

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop super producer Dr. Dre has revealed that he is hanging up the microphone after the 2011 release of his highly anticipated album Detox. According to reports, Dr. Dre’s long awaited album Detox will land in stores in February, although that release date has yet to be confirmed by Dre’s label Aftermath, or its distributor, Interscope/Universal. In the upcoming double December/January issue of XXL Magazine, Dr. Dre explained that he spends five to six days in the recording studio, sometimes for up to 16-hours a day.And as Dr. Dre prepares to celebrate his 46th birthday and almost 30-years in the music business, Dr. Dre is ready to slow down. “The only part that has been pushing me back is just the fact that I’m getting older, and certain things to talk about,” Dr. Dre told XXL Magazine. “I can incorporate other artists, new artists with this record [Detox], to say some of the things I won’t say. It’s been a little tussle in that area also, just because of age and being able to identify with the younger audience.”In the interview, Dre revealed that although he would continue to work with new talent, Detox will indeed be has final full-length album. “As far as me going into the mic booth, that s**t is over,” Dr. Dre revealed. “I’m always going to talent scout and try to find new artists to work with. But, yeah, that’s it. I don’t see myself doing it the way I’m doing it now…”

Meek Mill: Hottest In The City

By: LBurna Updated Category: Features
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

The music industry as we have known it is dead and gone forever. The culprit; illegal downloading. Gone are the days when an artist could stand on street corners, play the club circuit or battle rap with the specific intention of being noticed by a major record label, who would then pluck that artist from obscurity; furnish them with large cash advances and other amenities.

Ultimately, the goal for the artist and the label was to promote the artist to the point of international success and millions of record sales.  With record sales being the primary goal and source of income for record companies, artists often benefited far less from sales due to recouping advances and would the make the bulk of their income from touring and merchandising.

But with the advent of mp3s, a digital or intangible form of music that is oft shared online for free, record sales have dropped by as much as % 80 by some estimates. In order to compensate, record companies have now implemented the practice of taking a cut from the artists other revenues.

This new deal is known as a 360 deal. Artists are adjusting as well and in some cases flat out refusing to accept the practice and seeking success through self promotion. One artist who has had incredible independent success is Meek Mill a Philadelphia based rapper who has found international success in the digital age. Meek has experienced phenomenal success with single like “In My Bag,” “I’m So Fly,” “Hottest in the City” and his latest, “Rose Red” featuring Rick Ross.A stint in jail for shooting at an undercover cop almost derailed Meek Mill, who was forced to serve seven months in jail for the incident.

Despite the setback, Meek remained popular with over 20 million YouTube views and 13 million MySpace views. AllHipHop.com spoke with Meek Mill about his formula for success.

AllHipHop.com:  How did you get started? It seemed like you came from out of nowhere and it was just Meek Mill all day. So how did you get your buzz up and break away from the pack like you did?

Meek Mill: I been rapping for a minute since I was about 15. I came up in the rap game in Philly. We was doing the DVD battling thing. I just decided to take it over to the next level. Started making songs with hooks. Started jumpin’ on all these instrumentals (of) everybody else’s beats and just tried to be on everything possible.

AllHipHop.com: So then you put out your Flamerz series. Tell me a little bit about how that came about and what do you think about mixtapes pushing artists forward because it seems like that’s the new trend. A mixtape used to mean a bunch of hot singles on one cd that you brought to at a party. What does it mean nowadays as far as propelling an artist forward?

Meek Mill: A mixtape that was a step as far as gettin’ me poppin’ too. When I started droppin mixtapes, my Flamerz mixtapes it just started goin’ real good. You know what I’m sayin’? I was doin’mixtapes tryna make them like albums. I would have like, a single on there for the chicks, I would have a club single, I would have like soulful music; try to touch em in every way. Like a album, try to cover it. Mixtapes mean a lot in my area ’cause in Philly people still heavy on the mixtapes. People still get out and go buy a mixtape.

AllHipHop.com: Is that more creative control than if you were putting out an album? I see signed artist putting out mixtapes as well. What is the purpose of that?

Meek Mill: Is like just feedin’ your fans, your underground, your foundation that you came up under. On a album you gotta be more broader with it and try to touch more people at the same time. With a mixtape you can just do what ever you want the people to hear. You can give it to ‘em on a mix tape.

AllHipHop.com: O.k. So how did you hook up with T.I.?

Meek Mill: Through Charlie Mack, my manager. They’re good friends. Charlie heard a couple of my raps when I first met him and he wanted to take me out there to meet T.I. and that’s how we linked up, from that.

AllHipHop.com: So is Charlie Mack still ‘the first out the limo’? (laughs)

Meek Mill: Yeah he’s still the first out the limo in my book.

AllHipHop.com: I know ya’ll get that all the time. That’s gotta get old?

Meek Mill: All the time.

AllHipHop.com: That’s a hip hop classic. That reminds me. What’s classic to you? What were you listening to 10 years ago or as far back as you can remember, like what’s your old school rap?

Meek Mill: My old school is Major Figgas and DMX. I’m only 23 so my old school is like Jay-Z’s first couple of albums.

AllHipHop.com: So do you have a project coming out on T.I’s label?

Meek Mill: No I’m not actually signed to no label right now. I’m working on my own project. An album we’ll probably put out independent first. With me and T.I that’s like an affiliation. You know what I’m sayin’? He’s just backin’ up everything.

AllHipHop.com: How far reaching is your buzz right now? Is it just a regional thing or national?

Meek Mill: I was playing a game online earlier with this boy from Cali and he said they playin’ it down in Cali a lot. He was sayin’ I got a nice fan base. I can’t really reach all my fan base ’cause I don’t know where they at, but certain times I pick up on it. But because of the internet I would say it’s worldwide. People from London, People from Cali play my music, people from New York.

AllHipHop.com: I heard you got like 20-40 million hits on Youtube.

Meek Mill: (laughs) It’s a lot. It’s uncountable. I got so many videos on there it’s crazy.

AllHipHop.com: What would you say about the state of the industry right now with things like 360 deals affected by the illegal downloads?

Meek Mill: Yea, It’s alright but I ain’t really wit’ it! It’s cool but at the same time it’s not cool. Somebody wanting part of everything you’re doing. We got a movie coming out right now on our own label 2-1-5 APhillyated. I got a album coming out with 2-1-5 Aphillyated. The only people that’s gonna eat off it is the people that put it together and the people that worked for it. 360 deals; you could have a million things going on that don’t have nothing to do with a label and they still want part of it. I was just watching something with Lupe Fiasco and and a couple of artists and they was complaining about 360 deals and breakin’ the whole thing down and I wasn’t really feelin’ it. I just say you have to put yourself in a position where you don’t have to take a 360 deal.

AllHipHop.com: Can you tell us the title of the movie.

Meek Mill: The title of the movie is Streets. It’s all about the streets. I’m one of the main stars in the movie. My name is Meek Mill in the movie. You got Arda from State Property, Chico (Spencer) from the TV show Half and Half, Tray Chaney from The Wire, Gillie Da Kid. We got a couple of people….

AllHipHop.com: Oh Wow! That sounds good. Is that being distributed on DVD?

Meek Mill: Most likely. It might even make it to theaters.

AllHipHop.com: What’s your take on beef? People try to get at you because youre in one of the hottest positions right now. Do you feed into that?

Meek Mill: When I was young I used to get into all that. Now it’s like if I ain’t makin no money, I ain’t wit it. ‘Cause 9 times out o 10 these cats don’t don’t know you. They don’t know nothin’ about you. They just talkin’. Makin money as far as the beef on tracks and goin back and forth it’s all good but if it don’t don’t make no money it don’t make sense.

AllHipHop.com: What is your take on how violence and crime seems to carry over to hip-hop artists even after they make it in the industry. Do you think that cycle can be broken?

Meek Mill: I don’t really know if it can be broken. People like us we rap. We gotta go out to clubs and dangerous areas. At the end of the day you gotta protect yourself. It’s a lot of hate in this game. People will try to do anything they want to you. They might try to take your jewelry. They might try to hit you with a bottle and if you react on them you’ll probably be the one to go to jail. My homey might do something but I’ll be the one to get blamed for it. They’ll say ‘Meek Mill and them’ and I’ll be the one charged at the end of the day. That’s the game we live in but you just have to roll wit’ it and try to go around it.

This is probably more tomfoolery, but I have to say that dude has said it. (I didn’t even bother to watch the dumb video.)

Nice to see that due has embraced his inner sarcasm, but here are the quotes:

On her deportation:

“That’s sad that she’s getting deported, that they’re taking my baby away and they don’t want me to see her no more.”

On Stacks and the read feelings:

“You know when you love somebody, you gon’ argue.  You know what I mean? You gon’ have arguments.  I meant what I said. She’s all of that and more. Scum of the Earth. That’s my baby, though, and I love her.”He re-professes his love for Kat Stacks:

“I love her.”

On the alleged coke video, he gets serious:

“I ain’t never did coke a day in my life. I ain’t never been in a rehab center ever in my life. At the end of the day it’s publicity. Say whatever you want to say because I know what’s true.”

ICE-T AND COCO WORKING ON REALITY SHOW

The reality show craze doesn’t know how to to lose. It appears that Ice-T and Coco are working on a reality show surrounding their wild and crazy life. I actually think this could be interesting. They seem to have great chemistry and they are always out and about. Ice is a certified rock star and Coco is wild! The pair was recently seem at Covet lounge in Manhattan, said the NY Post, and they had cameras everywhere. Sources are saying this is for the E! Channel, which makes sense because they were the centerpiece for a Hip-Hop wives show a few years ago.

SMH! GAY DUDE CALLS OUT WAKA FLOCKA!

What the hell? Some gay p### dude is calling out Waka Flocka for not doing gay stuff. They should have never giving you all internet!

DR. DRE’S COMING THROUGH

Scenes from Dr. Dre’s new video shoot! It looks like every West Coast rapper ever was there.

SEAN GARRETT IS MAD AT…EVERYBODY.

Well, it looks like Rock City wrote two songs off of Rihanna’s album, “Man Down” and “Raining Men.” This didn’t sit well with Sean Garrett, the singer songwriter that has worked with a bunch of people. He went off on them and Rihanna and called them out as thieves.

Here is what he said on Twitter:

I can tell u mf’s jocking my style!!!Raining Men on Riri’s album is straight jacking me and Bangs #!@%*#!!! Industry Mf’s are hater then the try jack your style!!!

Just say u like my #!@%*# don’t jack!!I love Riri she fam!! But u writer’s and producer’s get your #!@%*#in weight up!And stop hating and then jackin!! I told u #!@%*#s in 04 we don’t follow we lead!

@R_City Great jacking!!@r_city I hope u got your money right!!!

I’m gonna say this and I’m done.I always been cool with rock city and we came up together.We all still grinding.I did’nt know that they wrote the record.They made it clear. They wrote it.And I #!@%*#s wit Mel and Mouse.it was a realistic reaction,I’m very p#!@%*#ionate about music.So yall chill with this Beef #!@%*#.Aint no beef.Respect

ED LOVER GOT FIRED! OR DID HE QUIT? COME ON SON!!!!

Honestly, I’m not in listening range of Ed Lover, but he’s no longer at Power 105 in NYC! I was shocked to hear this news since dude has been there since the station hit NY in 2002. BUT, that day has officially ended. Right now, he’s gone. The big question is: DID HE QUIT OR DID HE GET FIRED? I guess it doesn’t matter!

DID 50 CENT GET HACKED?

I heard a rumor that 50 Cent’s website thisis50 got totally hacked some time recently. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I heard that it was something dealing with the users of the site, not the actual site. I heard 50 was shooting a video when he got the word and he was cussing people out. From what I heard a GANG of the accounts were somehow tampered with. I won’t say how many, but its a LOT! Anyway, I heard 50 was there with a bunch of sweet ladies who overheard all of this dialog. Definitely nothing really interesting, but its what I got.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
