  1. This doesn’t even qualify as pop, it’s bubblegum pop. Why is this on a hiphop blog again?

  2. BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAA….. Strike 1: Stupid Hoe; Strike 2: Roman Holiday (Grammy’s); Strike 3: ^^^^The above Kreayshawn bullshit. YERRRRRRRRRR OUTTA HERE! This is NOT hip-hop. Christ this isn’t even rap… not even REMOTELY. This is str8 up w/o a doubt INDUSTRY WHORING.

  3. white girls are going to eat this up

  4. ^lol true that

  5. Well, this is Nicki’s “Just Dance”. Of course too: RedOne produced.

    And Lauri G. choreo’d Grammy’s performance. Seems like Gaga’s team is gonner!

  6. She’s trying hard as fuck to be Lady Gaga, why is she white in the single cover?

  7. I remember when I first heard nicki minaj on “secret weapon”. I was excited for a new talented female rapper. Then I heard her rendition of boss “salad toss”. I figured and accepted that she would be another trina/lil kim kinda rapper. Then I heard this shit, and realized that she didn’t even want to be a rapper to begin with… smh.

    because post like these get the most comments/ hate which = more page views for Shake which = Money

    If a good artist music was posted it would only get like 5 comments at most.

    Watch this shit get a lot of comments

  9. Yea this is gonna be a pop album for sure. The clubs will eat this song up and the radio but I absolutely hate the direction she is going. She could have been a legend if she worked on her craft instead of selling out for temporary success.

  10. homegirl reminds me nothing of gaga. mofo’s always tryna compare or say an artist copped off another. ain’t shit original in today’s music industry you damn morons.

  11. http://youtu.be/8X_Ot0k4XJc

  12. Stupid Hoe fucking RULES and only idiots would HATE it. Dislike it cause it’s weird and too much for you, sure, but hate it? That’s retarded. Don’t be a sensitive overly emotional pussy, dogg.

  13. ^ he must be one of these barbies i be hearing about lol

  14. ^^^Sounds like someone’s EMOTIONAL, u just called yourself out. Go listen to some Carl Thomas & calm down, pussy.

  15. @Cloud 9 Amen.

  16. Stupid Hoe fucking SUCKS and only idiots would LIKE it.

    That’s better.

  17. im sorry but any GUY says he likes stupid hoe and tries to defend her about that song your considered a barbie in my book

  18. …whatever keeps white hoes at the club rollin i guess smh

  19. Noise pollution alert ! For Christ’s sake, will she please stfu ??? Why do people promote that interstellar crap ??? And why am I wastin’ time listenin to it ? I’m off…

  20. Why is the ghost of shake posting?? Did shake die and is he still a bitch in the afterlife.

  21. Roman Reloaded=BAYTL

  22. Why doesn’t she just rap?

  23. Why does 2dopeboyz keep reposting Nicki Minaj if it gets hella thumb downs continuously?

  24. Yall niggas always tryna tell somebody else how to run their blog. WHy wouldn’t a hip hop blog post a new single by one of the most popular rappers/artists right now? Are yall seriously asking that? Motherfuckers don’t give a fuck if you music nerds like it or not. They post the music, yall come in and give it all the views…you think they aren’t going to continue to post it? Even if yall log in just to hate it, you’re making them tons of money. And also, yall need to chill on the hate. If you don’t like the bitch, stop spending your precious time posting hate comments about her or even listening to her. Go listen to something you actually like.

  25. #SMH

  26. when this info commercial gonna end … (due April 3) right

    this site is def pay by the rec. co. at least dont try to deny it
    or the fuck with her

  27. hahaha…this song

  28. Im glad lil kim didnt cosign nicki. even tho she came out seeming washed up, giving nicki minaj a cosign meant that she approved of the shit and the direction female mcs was going.
    This is ass, but as stated before, the clubs and white girls will eat this up

  29. My album M.I.L.F. (Music I Love Forever) is a project most definitely dedicated to my ladies, yet got joints that knock for my fellas. Well rounded, cohesive. Listen and decide its FREE….

  30. wow. talk about selling your artistic soul. the industry needs someone to break in and change the landscape or else this shit won’t even be considered music anymore.

  31. @do jones agree 100%

  32. yo nicki can actually rip it whens she tries to rap..
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lltKx6mBwc

  33. this picture makes nicki look white. smh

  34. I dont think i want to live in this world anymore…

  35. i wanna bang the cover. meh

  36. I just want her to find out who she is. She’s really reaching and trying to please everybody, just be yourself. First she was Lil’ Kim then she was Missy then she was Gaga and now she’s Katy Perry. I mean … WHO are you?

  37. I’m not gonna listen to it anyways so, I just want to know why she’s white? Like she trying to get away. Beyonce is lightskinned but Minaj is darker, looking WHITE with blonde hair and all.

    We need a Lil B “I’m Lady Gaga” song now, performed as Nicki Minaj.

  38. that tour with brittney…..

  39. i could see this getting mad plays on the radio and club… its a hit for sure but i dont like the direction nicki is going shying away from being the female rapper she was meant to be … but to her defense nowadays if you wanna b successful you gotta be make songs like these

  40. Shake, Kendrick Lamar- Cartoons & Cereal

  41. I’m only commenting because I think it’s safe to say that this isn’t a Hip-Hop record.. in fact I would bet it won’t even be labeled under Hip-Hop in the record store.. and thats all cool, I’m happy that she is moving out of this genre. I hope this documents the last of her on this blog.

  42. A) Judging by the comments, I just skip the listen, I’ve washed my hands of this Nicki situation after that terrible Grammy performance.
    B) It’s been evident for quite some time that Nicki’s career has kind of been all over the place, and now she’s just shucking and jiving for the masses. I’m not shocked by how left her career is now, if you go back to when she was about to release Pink Friday it doesn’t seem like there was a clear concept of who she was or wanted to be as certain singles that her and her team liked bombed, while songs she didn’t care for did well. I know she went to school for acting, and has mentioned wanted to get back into it in the past, so she probably got 2 more hip pop records in her before she goes full blown Latifah and never looks back.

    C) My biggest issue however is why 2dope continues to support this vile waste. It’s obvious Nicki does not give a fuck about about 2dopeboyz or hip hop in general, well unless she on a Drake or Ross record. The truth of the matter is there are plenty of talented female MC’s, that rap, that are not getting any shine on here. Why continue to peddle out bullshit, when you can play a part in supporting/blowing up a positive movement in hip hop. There are a lot of people who’s first listen of new/ underground/emerging artist is had on this site. So why not plant the seeds of something decent with the potential to flourish, instead of scattering the site with this poisonous weed.

  43. well she is on board with the whole shuffling craze and that shit is only getting bigger. All the fucking kids are into that so it’s only obvious todays stars would make this kind of music to appeal to the masses.

    Let’s face it. Hip-hop rap is not the driving force of the young generation anymore. A new sound has engulfed the youth albeit a fucken wack one but a new one none the less. This will pass but hip-hop will never be as huge as it once was. Our music was on top for a looooong time. NOw we know how ROCK felt when hip-hop came onto the scene.

  44. damn this is about to be a problem.I hope my iPod dosnt break and I have to listen to the radio driveing to work because I’m sure they going to repeat this song every 2 songs. this is such a shame. I hope they don’t place the name rap/hip-hop on this in iTunes .

  45. this bitch looks straight up like iggy azalea on the front, im not even giving this trash a listen

  46. 213 “thumbs down” so far… I remember even last year it used to be 213 thumbs up. NOW she SUDDENLY sucks? You’re all followers. And this biatch has never had a shred of talent all along.

  47. The Female Weez..FLO RIDA – even tho he’s never been lyrical
    Brainwashed by David Guetta, I live in Germany and they play that David Guetta/Nicki song everywhere – It’a even the theme song for Germanys Next Topmodel with Heidi Klum. So I actually do get why she is heading that way.
    But she really looks too damn white on that cover, imma have to listen to paris now, had a nice time with you nicki..

  48. @bline you sound so narrow minded. do you know how many genres of music there are? tired of you one-track minded hip hop fans who think there’s only room for one form of music. she made a pop song, big fucking deal nigga. you acting like its the end of the world lol. i enjoy pop music i enjoy rock and i enjoy hip hop. hip hop was never “on top”… no one genre was ever “on top” the world consists of multiple cultures and social groups that listen to different shit. its just like you live in a bubble where you think the world revolves around you.

    last year the highest selling album in music was by a rapper (lil wayne) so wtf are you talking about? stop trying to speak for the youth.

    and just because nicki made a club song does not make her a sellout. her last 5 songs were rap songs….

  49. wow this is just terrible and @B-Line i agree 100%, the only thing tho is rock listeners respect classic rock so much, as far as hip-hop goes, its whatevers hot right now smh

    This just needed to be said again. smfh.

  51. this shit goes… I’m gonna be bumpin this all day

  52. Agree with this guy 100% @Randy ^

  53. Internet hip hop nerds getting mad banging their keyboards while their stuff jay z doll is between their legs. Yall be on same sad homo negative shit.

  54. Nicki is a great businesswomen, it’s a waste of time commenting if all you say is her song is whack because she wont care if it does well in the pop charts.

    Throw on some old Nicki if that’s what you want. She’s getting hers.

  55. its obvious that shes going for the gay crowd, so i have no real comment on her music. it aint geared towards me. i just have a problem when people are making her out to be the greatest out right now, when she sucks!

  56. Buahahahahahah ! lmfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao .. this Girl is a joke!

    And Again !!! lmfao

  58. Am dead @ the female FLO-RIDA ! best description so far..

  59. This is not hip-hop. This should not be on a hip-hop blog. She is no longer a hip-hop artist. She doesn’t need a hip-hop audience anymore. She will do just fine if her music doesn’t appear on hip-hop sites.

  60. I rather listen to Rebecca Black

  61. Bitchmade post for bitchmade fans on an increasingly bitchmade blog.

  62. With Nicki using RedOne for her songs just proves how much she’s tryna be like Lady GaGa.

  63. Weezy and Birdman are all about making money off of their artistes. So far Nicki’s album looks like a flop…so watch Weezy push the date back

  64. This song is whack. I loved nickis mixtapes, this just goes to show how fake this bitch is. She aint hood we dont bump this in the hood. She has officially abandoned ghetto America every hood. And is solely focusing on white suburbia and herself. Bitch is wack as fuck she needs to chill with some real rap bitches.

  65. @TKL man, that’s funny… Lil Flame isn’t pushing SHIT back, Baby is. Weezy is one of Gayby’s artists so he’s getting raped just like Cakeboy, Garbaj & the rest of Dumb Funny. That’s why he has to give “Daddy” a kiss live on BET & in that pic. #DeathoftheWeirdo

  66. PLEASE YALL GET @ THIS UNCLE TOMMERY ON MISSINFOTV.COM, HIS NAME IS “Jasperfect”… “Your a fool if you think rappers in the 80’s and 90’s weren’t lying and only spoke about the “real”. Who gives a F about Big and Pac, it’s 2012 They died when I was in Junior high school. You can’t complete with a dead people, it’s impossible. If your that upset with the radio get a 100+gb mp3 player load it up with all the music from the 90’s and put it on shuffle.”
