“Are you, like—this question might catch you off guard, but I ask myself this—like, when you wake up, like, are you happy,” Tyler asked. “Like, are you satisfied how everything turned out?”
“Dawg, I was naming my album Life Is Good because of how happy I am about how happy things have turned out,” Nas answered. “Sometimes I may wake up and wish my kids were living with me. That’s the only thing, you know what I mean? Our loved ones that are not around no more, like my mom. That’s the only thing. But other than that, everything is great, even when I’m alone.

Lil Mama has been telling everyone that will listen that Nicki Minaj stole her style. Now she's claiming that if the two of them ever did beef it could have had the same tragic ending as Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
"If we decided to go at each other and then somebody ended up dead, everybody in hip-hop would be like, 'Oh my God, it's so sad what happened to them.'" Lil Mama tells XXL. "It's just like what happened with Pac and Biggie. The same people that promote it and it's sad."
However, Lil Mama does admit there is no real animosity between her and Nicki.
"She came to my show... the greeting was beautiful. It was like, 'Hi beautiful, how are you?' you know what I mean. It wasn't like 'Hi,' and then the name calling or screwed up face or anything negative. If someone has something negative to say about you or they don't like you, they wouldn't greet you and say, 'Hello beautiful.'"

Nicki Minaj has a lot to be thankful for. She has a successful rap career ahead of her, but getting to this point was hard for the Harajuku Barbie.
In a new interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Nicki reveals the frustration of trying to get her foot in the door of the music business caused her to contemplate suicide.
“I felt like nothing was working. I had moved out on my own, and here I was thinking I’d have to go home. It was one dead end after another," she said. “At one point, I was, like, ‘What would happen if I just didn’t wake up?’ That’s how I felt. Like maybe I should just take my life?”
Now that she's tasted success, Nicki has no plans to let it go. She told Cosmo about her big plans for the future.
“I will have put out five albums and will have an Oscar and Grammys,” she says of her future plans. "And I will be getting married and, a couple of years after that will have a bun in the oven. … My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now. It’s a never-ending saga,”

Method Man is in the process of putting together his fifth solo album, The Crystal Meth. Finding the right producers for the project hasn't gone as smoothly as the Wu Tang Clan rapper would have liked. Attempts to get Just Blaze and Timbaland on board the project didn't pan out.
"We’ve tried. I've tried [Just Blaze] a few times and it just didn’t work out," Method told Vibe. "Timbaland on the other hand, he would send you a skeleton beat and I can’t rock to a skeleton beat. I need an actual beat because when I write, I write to the music, so that didn’t work out. I'm gonna give it you you raw. A lot of times when we approach these cats and we see them face to face, yall exchange numbers, then you call them and you don't get an answer. Or they tell you weird sh*t like 'I don't do that kind of music anymore.'"
Meth still has one artist in mind that he would very much like to work with. During his chat with Vibe, he mentioned that he really likes what Odd Future's Tyler, The Creator is doing.
"Right now I want to get that kid from Odd Future, Tyler, The Creator -- I just want to hear some of the sh*t he got. He’s in that vain that I like as far as beats go. I would want him to produce something. As far as rhyming on some sh*t I would leave that up to him. Because like I said a lotta people sleep on Meth -- don't sleep on me I'm dope."
Although some fans have compared Odd Future to a young version of Wu Tang Clan, Meth said there really aren't any similarities.
"I don’t see any similarities, as far as the movement, maybe. but I don’t see any similarities because some of the shit they talk about," Meth said "The sh*t we use to talk about was 5% Nation of Islam, Gods and Earth…you know 'block sh*t.' Let them do them and I enjoy them. I’m not going to lie. And yes I do know more than just one song that they’ve done. Some of these people on Youtube and shit, they’re f*cking incredible with their comments."
