Lil Wayne f. Kidd Kidd, Mack Maine & Nicki Minaj, “Thinking to Myself” MP3
Anybody who thinks Lil Wayne doesn’t have soul needs to check themselves. This dude just taps into his passion pit and lets loose. Granted, it usually comes out when he is talking about punany, but the public record shows that Weezy is one fertile dude. In this one he also addresses himself (as “Self”). Might be a first for him, might not, but it’s office consensus that if we want to find out we will have to go through about 96,000 tracks and we don’t have time for that right now (got a magazine to put out and Lil Wayne’s babies to feed!), so if you know the answer, please tell us in the comments.

Mario f. Gucci Mane & Nicki Minaj, “Break Up” Remix MP3

If you haven’t heard Mario, Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett’s completely bonkers “Break Up,” produced by Bangladesh, then you are probably not as excited as we are that the remix features an extra helium-voiced Nicki Minaj calling herself the bride of Chucky, a surprisingly accurate statement considering she sounds pretty close to Jennifer Tilly on this song. If it were up to us, we’d just loop the part where Gucci goes Girls are like buses/ Miss one, next 15 one coming right before the bass drops.

Yung Joc f. Gucci Mane & OJ da Juiceman + Nicki Minaj “Birds” MP3
- story Sam Hockley-Smith
You can still catch us freaking out over Gucci Mane’s verse on yet another of Yung Joc’s location-specific singles a la “It’s Goin Down,” and then check out the Drumma Boi produced “Birds” below. It’s from the same free Yung Joc “street album,” it follows nearly the exact same formula as every Joc song and it also features another excellent (and extra mush-mouthed) verse from Gucci.

Total Freedom & Nguzunguzu, “Wildness (Club Vortex Mixtape)”
Club Vortex is a monthly held at Glasslands in NY where all manner of outré/vanguard worldwide dance musics are played, and prior to each episode the guest DJs make a mixtape. The next installment is Kingdom’s b-day, FADER fave Maluca is performing live (always a rad time) and guest DJs Total Freedom and Nguzunguzu from Los Angeles are bringing the vibe of their Wilderness party to the Brooklyn warehouse setting, which according to this mixtape may include the Keri Hilson vox from “Swag On” over some kind of organic sounding triple-syncopated kinda-ragga rhythms, a possible Bollywood track blended with maybe the song from the “Natasha!” scene in Party Girl, Nicki Minaj “Go Hard” with a total BK-style drumline backing track, and copious drops filtered through a witness-protection-program vocal converter. This is all speculation, not actual scientific tracklistage, but the tape is hot and when you go to the party this Friday, July 10th (details here), you will not be hearing anything boring, played, wack or 100% identifiable. Happy B-day Kingdom!

FADER TV: Nicki Minaj Talks Growing Up In Queens, Propositions Felipe
- story THE FADER
When Nicki Minaj arrived for our video interview, there were no less than 8 people in tow, an entourage of management, publicity, World Star Hip Hop and one dude who looked like he lives to snap bones into unsound positions Steven Segal style. Minaj herself is pretty short, pretty sweet and really just downright pretty. She can also rap her ass off, which coupled with the aforementioned most certainly makes her an investment worth protecting. Having just released her Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape (that we’ve been hearing about since December), Minaj stopped through to talk about coming up in Queens, her background in drama and the difference between Beam Me Up Scotty and the infamous Sucka Free tape. And to hit on Felipe.
Freeload/Gen F: Lil Wayne f. Nicki Minaj, “I Get Crazy”
- story THE FADER
Totally unsurprising that Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj made such a literal, perfect and bananas interpretation of the phrase “I get crazy.” Nicki, whose distinct voice and powerful/aloof rap style is one of our faves right now, jams super fast about how she runs shit, then Wayne goes in like the mic is his punching bag, all over a Bomb Squad-y alarm sample. Major. What if Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj had a rap baby? It would be super cute and by the age of 12 its voice would sound like Condoleezza Rice with a pack a day habit, regardless of gender. They would name it something random like Apple but not stupid like Bronx, and we would pay actual money for all its albums. After the jump you can read Felipe Delerme’s Gen F on Nicki from FADER 60.
