#02. Teqkilla (feat. Nicki Minaj Remix) - M.I.A.

It’s regrettable that Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday didn’t live up to the hype, but one thing is still true: she’s often the best thing that happens to other people’s track. I love Teqkilla and I love M.I.A., so this is pretty much an absolute scream.

Dang a lang (feat. Nicki Minaj & Lady Saw) - Trina (Amazin’ @Amazon)

It’s a kitty key chain, I think.

Did it On’em - Nicki Minaj (Pink Friday @Amazon)

I’ve loved almost every song Nicki Minaj was featured on (check out the Love Friday Mixtape that’s floating around), so naturally this was high on my list of things to keep an eye out for. Well, my vigilant effort paid off, because … here we are. Score? The verdict, after one spin: it’s unexpectedly tame, for her. I love my Nicki off the hook, and here she channels more earnest Rihanna than angry, wild, beastly Missy Elliot I’d gotten used to. With the exceptions of the first few songs, Nicki softens considerably and sings as often as she spits rhymes. It’s a decent album, and I’d still get it, but it’s also disappointingly lacking in the madness promised by her earlier featured work (I may post a couple of them so there’d be something to compare to?).

Did it On’em is still mad money though.
