Nicki Minaj Talks Possible Retirement & Twitter Deletion With Tim Westwood [VIDEO]

During her overseas promo tour through the UK, Nicki Minaj stopped by Tim Westwood's radio show and let the crazy out over the air. Listen to clips of the interview below, which includes Nicki venting about the reaction to her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.



If it's a mixtape and it was just for the fans, why didn't you make it a mixtape and just put out a cohesive album later on?

Lotta - This Is Love [Music Video]

"Remember where you came from."

Lotta may have come a long way since his days in Fayetteville, NC, but he's definitely aware that the dream doesn't stop here. Check out the video for "This Is Love"below, the first set of visuals from his May 31st release Final Fantasy, which brings the message full circle.

10ille - Candy Jams [FreEP]

I was blogging Chuck Inglish's WRKOUT and thinking about all the projects he's worked on this year when I realized I'd never shared 10ille's Candy Jams EP with my Gangstas family. How selfish of me.

I blast Candy Jams every time I step foot in my car, and it's because of two things: 1, I love to hear singers who simply sing whatever the music makes them feel with little regard for what's trending. Secondly, the production, led by Chuck Inglish, is the exact same way. Check out the precursor to the Bronx bred singer's joint project with the Cool Kid below, and accept my apology for keeping this to myself for so long.

Chuck Inglish - WRKOUT [New Beat Tape]

Chuck Inglish kicked the year of with WRKING. and now he's back with another set of instrumentals with WRKOUT. I've definitely found my theme music for the day in this beat tape, which includes twelve tracks which show off the versatility of the Cool Kid whose had quite the year so far. "Party Heart" is insane as well as "Agitated" and "Cold." Get with it.

David Banner ft. Snoop Dogg, Ras Kass, Nipsey Hussle & Game - Californication [Music Video]

David Banner's "Californication" was vivid enough for you to create a set of your own visuals, but Daniel Czernilofsky takes the track to the next level by adding his special directorial touch. Watch below as Snoop Dogg, Ras Kass, Nipsey Hussle, and Game paint a darker picture of beautiful and sunny L.A.



David Banner's Sex, Drugs & Video Games drops on May 22nd for free, but be sure to check out his 2M1 movement and donate!

Mac Miller ft. Curren$y - Cold (Prod. by Chuck Inglish)

Combine Mac Miller, Curren$y, and a Chuck Inglish beat, and apparently you get a smooth ass song. Check out their first collaboration "Cold," below, which is just a loosie for now. This is definitely some album quality material.

When you see Gucci Mane, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne listed on a track together, be prepared to hear this track in the clubs and on the radio for a pretty long time. Gucci introduces us to his Memorial Day Weekend mixtape Im Up with the Polow produced banger.

Sabi ft. Wale - Where They Do That At? [Music Video]

Wale returns the favor as he appears in Sabi's music video to her new single "Where They Do That At?" I loved "Wild Heart," but I definitely think this one has more potential to give her that big hit. Watch the L.A. shot music video below, and hit the jump to watch the behind the scenes footage of the Tim Cruz directed visuals!

Asher Roth ft. Meek Mill - Party Girl

Asher Roth reveals "Party Girl," the first single from his Def Jam debut album Is This Too Orange?, which will hit stores this summer. The song samples Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time," and what I find enjoyable about this one is that Meek Mill shows off his versatility by adapting to Asher's college party inspired vibe.



"Party Girl" will be available for purchase on iTunes starting 4/20. Smokers, write that down.
