Nicki PRAISED for new street track

From the tough beat to the defiant lyrics, Ms. Minaj is giving a subtle warning that she’s coming for blood with her new era. While her sophomore LP Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded resulted in very mixed opinions across the board, I’m loving the direction she’s headed in with album No. 3.

Nicki Minaj and Chicago upstart Lil Herb have dropped "Chi-Raq," an ode to how you need to get down or duck the **** down. Nicki Minaj is an intimidatingly great rapper, and appearing on a track with her is generally a recipe for getting your ass handed to you. While he's younger than ****, Lil Herb can also rap better than ****, and he holds his own against the queen.

Nicki Minaj has done everyone a huge solid by not coming back to American Idol. Instead of sitting through a Daughtry performance on a dying TV show, the rapper-singer has been on a roll. Yeah, she stepped into controversy with the Malcolm X artwork for February's "Lookin Ass *****," but the song — and its feminist music video — were worth all the hubbub. She stayed in straight-rapping mode on her recent remix of Young Thug's ubiquitous "Danny Glover". And now, on "Chi-Raq," she once again comes back verbally ferocious (and obscenely quotable) over minimal, ominous production.

Nicki Minaj's alter ego Roman hasn't shown his face since her last album, and there are no complaints on this end. The YMCMB rapper is digging her stilettos into a serious rap zone now, continuing with the new single "Chi-Raq" featuring Lil Herb.
Over a sinister beat from Boi-1da, Vinylz and Allen Ritter, Nicki immediately starts snapping on the first verse, with a nice play on words for her colorful up-dos...and all that power. "Ain't yelling cut when it's shooting time/Sign up, it's recruiting time," she spits. "Big wigs with a suit and tie/And them big things got two inside."

's been a little bit quiet in the world of pop lately: the Beyoncé secret album hype has settled, Lady Gaga’s art-flop has disappeared into relative obscurity( ), and Rihanna’s new record still hasn’t arrived. What’s that snarling, rumbling sound then? Ah yes, a new Nicki Minaj track has hit the web - and she’s still confounding expectations at every turn. Chi-Raq (feat. Lil Herb) is a menacing anti-single that’s unlikely to top the charts, but should restore faith in those who had written Minaj off as another rapper seduced by the alluring sales figures of mainstream dance-pop.

After showcasing her impressive rap skills on the track “Lookin' Ass Nigga”, Nicki is back again with some serious heat as she trades bars with Lil Herb, aka G-Herb, over this hard-hittin' production from Boi-1da, Vinyls, and Allen Ritter. This is super mean y'all. Check it out for yourself.

It seems that Nicki Minaj's days of abrasive, hi-energy pop are behind her, having dropped yet another slick slice of credible hip hop.'Chi-Raq' is a dark, mid-tempo track which carries sinister undertones in its simple, elegant production. Minaj is joined by rising star Lil' Herb on the new track.
