Rap queen, Nicki Minaj is up and about New York radio stations today.
Just after speaking with Power 105 FM phoned Hot 97 for a separate
in-depth Q&A.
Here are excerpts from the interview below courtesy of rap-up.
ON FREESTYLES AND FEATURES: “That’s the time where
you show off as a rapper, I think. With the album, I feel sometimes more
pressure to stay on topic, to be serious, or to have a message. The
features is a way for me to just get back in the ring. You guys will be
hearing a lot more features soon.”
ON REMY MA AND FOXY BROWN: “When I was working on The Pinkprint, I wanted to do a song with Remy and Foxy. I still have the song to this day. It was on a Diplo beat, but was super hood and hard. I love them both so I think that’s only a matter of time before she and I do something.”
ON MEEK MILL: “The song ‘All Eyes On You’ that he,
me, and Chris Brown did, I definitely pushed for him to do that song…He
didn’t really want to do it at first, but once I laid my verse, he was
like, ‘I fuck with this now that you laid your verse. It seems complete
now.’ That was good. A platinum single ain’t bad. A lot of times I’m in
the studio so I’m hearing everything and I’m always gonna tell him what I
love. I can’t hide that…But there are times that he doesn’t share with
me what he’s about to do.”
ON MEEK’S BATTLE RAPS: “When it’s battle rap stuff, the battle business, he don’t really share that with me. He’ll just go in and do him. I’ll react as a fan.”
ON MEEK’S BEEFS: “I think everybody’s over it. Come on. It’s pretty played out. It’s over. Sometimes you’re put in a position and you react…But let me tell you something, I do not believe there’s any such thing as negative publicity. That’s what I tell him: ‘You must have something people see in you.’ There’s a lot of things I know about other rappers that I just be quiet because as a man, rapper, and artist, he runs his shit the way I run my shit. He’s the boss of his stuff. I don’t want to step in too much because it’s not my place. Behind the scenes, I’m such a rapper that I’m always critiquing everything, even with him…But he gotta live his own life at a certain point in terms of his career choices. I strongly believe that great music changes everything. If ni**as got your name in they mouth for a year or two, thank them. If you come out with great music after all of that, nothing matters.”
ON SOCIAL MEDIA: “Social media has given so much power to irrelevant shit. The masses now have a voice and if you’re not careful, you will allow them to shape what you do?”
