Nicki Minaj - Right Thru Me (Official Music Video)

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 27, 2010 at 1:37pm

Video After The Jump As anticipation builds for Nicki Minaj's debut, we get visuals for a song that has hit written all over it. "Right Through Me" displays a much softer side of Nicki than we normally see, as she raps and sings about a guy she can't let go of. The song will be on her 'Pink Friday' album which hits store shelves November 22. The Queens femcee is aiming to become the third Young Money artist to have a number one album this year, following Drake and Lil Wayne. Expect the competition to be fierce though, as both Kanye West's 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' and Lloyd Banks' 'Hunger For More 2' drop on the same day.

Nicki Minaj Interview W/Greg Street: Speaks On Being Female Rap's Savior, Her Album 'Pink Friday' Shipping Gold & Rappers Fearing Lil Wayne When He's Released [Audio]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 1, 2010 at 7:00pm

Audio After The Jump Nicki Minaj has put female hip hop back on the map. You could argue that she is single handedly carrying the game on her back for femcees. Her album 'Pink Friday' is set to drop November 23, and already there's talk of if it flops, other females might not get that look from major labels. But is that talk accurate or a clever marketing ploy? V-103's DJ Greg Street recently caught up with the Harajuku Barbie and spoke with her about that topic and a lot more. "I'm in a very grateful state right now," Nicki says. "I'm trying to go in with this album so I can make people proud." There's a lot riding on this project, no doubt. Nicki feels like everybody, including her fellow female rappers should support it, or else. "They [major labels] won't look to sign other female rappers if the project doesn't so well. Because they're gonna say 'well, her buzz was so crazy, if she couldn't do it no one can do it'. I don't want that to happen so I'm doing this for all the girls." Although her career has really taken off, Nicki admits there were times early on she wasn't so sure it would. "For a long time in my life, I was afraid to be a solo female rapper, because everyone told me, 'It doesn't work. It's not going to happen. Record companies are never going to invest in you just to get it. Just be part of a group.' " she said. Young Money CEO, Lil Wayne gets released from prison November 4. Nicki says the New Orleans spitter is focused. "I'm afraid for anybody, any of his competition when he gets out. Because I just feel like it's going to be monumental. He's in a great state. When I speak to him, he sounds like he has some sort of clear understanding of everything now, almost like he's had some weird sort of epiphany since he's been there, so I'm sure his stuff is only going to get better." So is Nicki right? Should other rappers fear what will happen when Weezy gets out? And if her album flops will that kill female hip hop on a mainstream level? twitter-5d.gif

Tyga Says He & Chris Brown Hitting The Road For 'Fan Of A Fan Tour', Dropping Gangsta Grillz Tape W/DJ Drama [Video]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on September 2, 2010 at 8:20am

Video After The Jump The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive Chris Brown is in the #1 film in the country, "Takers," and now that he's done with Hollywood (for now), he's going back to the lab. "Me, I'm definitely writing on other people's projects. A lot of in-house stuff," Brown said recently in L.A. "I got a lot of artists coming out. The single 'Deuces' features one of my artists K-Mac and Tyga [from Young Money]. I'm pushing forward. The movie's out, so I'mma have fun." "Deuces" is in the top 30 of Billboard's Hot 100 charts and #1 on urban radio. The record's success is simply due to fan support. It's part of Brown and Tyga's Fan of a Fan mixtape and skyrocketed once the video hit virally and on MTV Jams. "That was actually Chris' idea," Tyga told us about putting out a visual for the song. "I thought the record was dope. I thought it was dope for us to do that video. He got to explain his situation. It connects to his fans. His fans miss that from him. "I think the people chose the record," Tyga added. "We put the mixtape out, and we asked them: What record do you like the most? They was like, 'Deuces.' It was always coming up. It was growing on YouTube as well, like 100,000 views a day on YouTube. It was his idea to shoot the video. My homie Colin Tilly, he's done all my videos. He's done everything. All my mixtape stuff to the bigger stuff I'm doing now. He got it right. It's what people wanna see, what they wanna hear." Despite the overwhelming success of Fan of a Fan, Tyga said he and Chris aren't planning an official LP, but they are hitting the road together. "I don't think you wanna drown people too much," Tyga said about making a full album with Brown. "We've been doing a lot of stuff, though. He's on my album. We're actually working on a tour right now. A Fan of Fan Tour at the end of the year. It'll be dope." Tyga has an album coming out soon; it doesn't have a release date yet. But his next mixtape, Well Done, will hit within the next couple of weeks. It's going to be a Gangsta Grillz edition. "I feel like I had to deal with [DJ] Drama. He reminded of Wayne, when he did Dedication with him," Tyga explained. "[Wayne] was going in on every beat. All the mixtapes I've been dropping, they're close to albums. They're more songs. They have more content. This one, I wanted to rap on everybody's beat and murder every beat that's out. It's fun to do that. It's easy. I can knock that out real fast. I think Drama is dope when you wanna link up and murder beats like that." Some of the tracks Tyga is pilfering are Soulja Boy's "Pretty Boy Swag" and Nicki Minaj's "Your Love." Source: MTV

More Pics After The Jump


Young Money femcee, Nicki Minaj shows no signs of letting go of her grip on the best female rapper in the game title. At the very least, she is the most popular and continues to make all the right career moves.

Her latest single, "Your Love" holds the #14 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart and she was just nominated for an MTV Video Music Award in the Best New Artist category.

"I feel like I've died and gone to heaven," Minaj told MTV of the VMA nomination. "I definitely thought I'd get one someday, but not before I put the album out. I never thought I'd get a nomination [this year]. ... I didn't even think I'd get invited!"

Expect more new music from Nicki very soon. She recently told Billboard that she is putting the finishing touches on her next single. "I think you guys are going to be really happy with it," she said.

Nicki's debut album, 'Pink Friday' is due out November 23.
