REFRESH

first let me start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR!! i hope all you all have a blessed and productive one! win, win, WIN! with that being said, let's get right to it.

for the longest time i didn't want to like nicki minaj. being a hardcore lil kim fan to the death, i saw the colorful wigs, hot ass makeup, and the sexy pictures and just thought to myself "this bitch is a joke". then i heard some mixtape drops and a couple of features and was lightweight convinced. when "massive attack" came out, it totally pissed me off. i went back to thinking she was a joke. the track just didn't appeal to me. the only thing hot about it to me was the hook and beat. (even though nowadays in hip hop that's all you need =\) then, my esteemed colleague fresh sent me the pink friday album. i must say the first few tracks had me waiting for more. but then it just started going downhill. roman's revenge is by far the hottest track on the album and it's not even a solo track. i honestly like eminem's verses better, and not because it's a lil kim diss! lol. all in all it is a great album; i just expected more being as though there was so much hype behind it.

BLACK FRIDAY!! man oh man.. kim couldn't pick a better time to make a come back. when i first heard the track it blew me away. you hear that classic hardcore kim that us true fans know and love. if you've been under a rock listen to the track here a couple days ago, one of my followers on twitter tweeted that there was a video for the track. so this morning i went on youtube in search of it. i didn't find an official video, just some clips with the track playing in the background and even a video with the fight scene from the player's club. peep that here. while watching that, i found something interesting on the side bar. check it out.



i didn't realize how much shit nicki has done in the little bit of time she's been out. comparing to kim who's done just as much but has been around for years. nicki is younger and still has plenty of time to do her thing. only time will tell if she'll have longevity. summing it up, fuck all that versus shit. it all depends on who your favorite is.
