Cassidy's"Lookin Ass Bitches" isn't a Minaj diss or a shot at all women. It's just the Philly spitter flipping the script to give a man's perspective on a certain type of female.

Video After The Jump
Comedian/actor Kevin Hart stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday (February 13) to promote his new movie, About Last Night.
In addition the the film Kevin discussed his daughter's brilliant idea to stop herself from wetting the bed, his son trying to emulate him, going for his third MVP Award in the NBA's Celebrity All-Star Game in New Orleans, practicing love making scenes and more.
Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal and Lily Aldridge grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's 50th Anniversary Swimsuit issue.
MJ Day, the editor of the swimsuit issue surprised the three lovely women on Thursday (February 13) when she revealed they had made the cover. Teigan and Aldridge were in the studio. Agdal joined the conversation via Skype. They thought they were going to be talking about their photo shoot in the Cook Islands when Day walked in and gave them the good news.
All three looked genuinely surprised. Teigen was close to tears.
“We really honestly liked each other,” Teigen said, according to Sports Illustrated. “Of course you are going to hear that from anybody who does a group shot, but this time it’s true. The connection was natural and the mood was fun.”
Jimmy Kimmel got in on the fun Thursday night when he revealed the cover to a national television audience on his show.
The women shared their joy with their Twitter followers.
Common recently stopped by Los Angeles radio station Power 106 to chop it up with Justin Credible and J Cruz of the L.A. Leakers.
While there he blessed the mic with a nice off the top of the head freestyle, which is slowly becoming a lost art form with artists now calling pre-written rhymes freestyles. Check that out below.
An artist has to be extremely confident and bold to even attempt to cover a song by Sade. Marsha Ambrosius not only goes for it with "Stronger Than Pride," but manages to make it sound fresh and new thanks to her great vocals and the use of Jeru The Damaja and DJ Premier's"Come Clean" instrumental to give the song a hip hop feel.
This is off of Marsha's forthcoming sophomore album entitled Friends & Lovers, which drops later this year.
Drake is admitting that he had an epic bad day on Thursday (February 13). The rapper spent part of the morning venting on Twitter about being misquoted by Rolling Stone regarding derogatory comments he denies he made about Kanye West in an interview with the publication, the press being "evil" and being knocked off of the cover in favor of late actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Drake also pledged not to do any more magazine interviews.
After taking a day to reflect, the October's Very Own boss has issued a statement via his website. In it he apologizes for the Hoffman comments and attempts to patch things up with RS.
With today being the 5th anniversary of So Far Gone I figured it's fitting to return to it's place of its origin in order to clear the air about an extremely emotional day. I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication. My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed. The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazines behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating. They ran the issue without giving me a choice to be in it or not. I would have waited until it was my time because I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated. I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment. I am still the same person. Today I was forced out of my character and felt the need to react swiftly. These days are the worst ones. Waking up after a great night in the studio and it's your day to be picked apart. After dwelling on it for a few hours or days you will come to the conclusion that you brought it on yourself almost every time. So here I am having that moment. I once again apologize to everybody who took my cover comments the wrong way. I respect Rolling Stone for being willing to give a kid from Toronto a shot at the cover. I guess this is a day to learn and grow.

Hot 97 radio personality Angie Martinez just launched her new website The Angie Review today. Nicki Minaj called in to talk with her today.
Topics included the possibility of pulling a Beyonce with her next album The Pink Print, her relationship with Drake, people getting upset at the Malcolm X artwork for her song "Lookin Ass Nigga" and speak on pissing some people off with the song.
On the reaction to "Lookin Ass Nigga"
I wasn't trying to p*ss people off. And I don't even think the majority of people are p*ssed off. I just think it's a great conversation to have. It's many records that come out daily and they're nothing but bashing females. And I think that I am in a position to put a record out that women can feel empowered by in our way.
On the Malcolm X cover art for "Lookin Ass Nigga"
I apologize about that. It was like, I had this big gun in the video and someone sent me that picture and said 'Hey you should use this.' It was just almost parallel in my opinion because he has this big gun ready to shoot at a lookin ass bleep. And so that's how I looked at it.I looked at it like, 'Yo, this is one of the most memorable people in black history that really voiced his opinion no matter what.' And I understand how my intent was overlooked. And I definitely didn't want to offend the family or his legacy. This record is to have fun and talk about. It's not to be disrespectful to someone's legacy, so I took it down. It wasn't the official artwork anyway.
On the release date for her next album "The Pink Print"
The Pink Print is not gonna have a release date. You'll never know when it's coming until it just comes.
Here's a brand new music video from New Jersey spitter Ranson entitled "Royalty." The track was produced by Shorty Fyuz. Video directed by Ishell Vaughn.
While at the Shade 45 studios with DJ Whoo Kid, Wiz Khalifa let director Ralph Madison film him performing a snippet of the song "Dispensary." The full track also features Taylor Gang emcess Berner and Chevy Woods. It can be found on Whoo Kid. DJ Skee and DJ MLK's new mixtape entitled SEXW.
Kid Cudi has released the cover art and tracklisting for the digital version of his Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon album..It features ten tracks with the lone feature coming from Raphael Saadiq.
The cover was designed by Cudi himself. The physical edition of the project will have additional songs added to it. The exact release date hasn't been revealed, but it's due out this month.
Drake's new interview with Rolling Stone has been a red hot topic in the media and on social networks the last 24 hours. In addition to dissing Macklemore, the Young Money emcee is quoted as saying less than favorable things about Kanye's West'sYeezus album and Fabolous.
“There were some real questionable bars on there. Like that ‘Swaghili‘ line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn’t say some sh*t like that," Drake reportedly said when asked about Yeezus.
This morning Drake head to Twitter to express his anger with the publication for not just misquoting what he allegedly said about West's album, but for making it all up. The October's Very Own CEO is also angry Rolling Stone made the decision to ditch his cover in favor of deceased actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Que has a bonified hit on his hands with "O.G. Bobby Johnson." He links up with Grand Hustle boss, T.I., and CTE World head honcho, Young Jeezy for an official remix.
