Welp, cat’s out the bag. Nicki explains to 1515 why she passed on XXL‘s Freshmen 10 cover. In the process, she revealed that she and Drake shot for the magazine’s May 2010 issue.
Shared cover = Bad idea.
THANKS FOR LETTIN ME KNOW….AINT BUYIN THAT …..WHY DONT THEY PUT REAL MCS ON THE COVER JEAN GRAE & JAY ELECTRONICA OR ANY OTHER MC’S?
>amazinace
I DON’T KNOW BRO.
@amazinace because no one would buy a xxl with jay electronica on the cover….especially since he only has one really hot song that everyone knows about…and by everyone I mean the masses not just the internet thugs
thanks for the heads up. can’t wait to see drake and his usual pose for every picture with pursed lips…he should really trademark that look
*zzzzzzzzz*
This explains why they passed on the freshman cover
@ Julie
BUHAHAHAHAHA!!!! “PURSED LIPS”!!!! FUNNY SHIT!!!! HE’S GETTIN’ MORE N MORE PREDICTABLE!!!! HIS SONGS, WARDROBE, POSES, ETC….!!!!! SMH!!!! ONE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@ mac DIESEL hahaha Drake is soooo lame!!! he probably thinks those pursed lips give him street cred! he doesn’t need street cred or anything when he has such great lyrics like “i can teach you how to speak my language……….Rosetta stone!” haha I can’t believe this guy
Can’t wait to see the cover, gonna be dope, congrads to both of em’, they deserve it
they just styled really heavy on the ‘class of 2010’
Truthfully Nicki Minaj & Drake will not have longevity in hip hop they will have a crazy buzz for a minute and then they will fizzle away! Examples of this happening 50 Cent, Nelly and Lil Wayne although he has been in the game for a while his most recent buzz was all hype and Nicki Minaj & Drake are products of that! After Nicki Minaj & Drake official release their buzz will be FADED away! Artist are not marketed to last long in the industry anymore…no substance just theatrics and R&B hooks and placing them in the company of those who will give you attention for the moment i.e. Drake’s obsession with always mentioning Jay-z (BFF) and Niki Minaj screaming ever opportunity she gets “Thanks Jay for recommending me for the Robin Thicke song”. Having famous collaborations with already established artists for their first album release shows the lack of ability to stand on their own for the most part. Then the artists’ album sells like crazy hence they have no room for growth for their second release. These new artists are marketed as FADES quick money for the industry to make from MEDIOCRE talent! The fans get over saturated with them via radio, television, magazines and blogs and begin to rebel against what was nothing more than pure HYPE!
i didn’t see where she said they were going to be on the cover
she just said they were taking pictures
Nicky Minaj >>> Jean Grae…yup said it..if she ain’t blew in all this time, it ain’t just politics..
So since they are on Konvict Wayne’s Label they surpassed the Freshmen? Nah I don’t think so. Big Sean is on Kanye’s Label and so is Cudi. I guess since they are nickolodean stars they fit the bill for their own cover. Either way a Classic magazine gone to the trash.
Tupac best rapper alive! Believe it…
drake=kanye+treysongz …..nicki minaj =wezzy+lil kim divided by wackness carry the 1…..equals…….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! niggaz feinin for crack so bad they buyin soap!aka! (dummy rocks)smh
Tiye Phoenix>Nicki Minaj
Only reason Nicki is blown up is becuz her ass blew up where was Nicki when she didnt have that body she was moving her hair out the way of her boobs that was in a pushup bra in underground rap interviews Only reason why Nicki is getting this press is becuz of her sex appeal Listen to some of the shit Nicki be saying its not even hot cuz if you listen its not that hot
I did not know Drake was half white
Xxl has gotten so waterdown since yn left i dont even bother with the mag anymore,it reminds me of the source when they were falling off.
hype 101 hit it on the nail..thanx homie!! I don’t have to write a paragraph for these people to see clearly about these up and coming acts.
Drake – Not even a mentioned named passed 2011
Nicki Minaj – Over once this barbie fad dies (THIS YEAR!), sorry but the bitch just SEEM like she can’t adapt. She found her niche and trying to exploit it, but only the real low-self esteem having chicks listen to this type of artist anyhow.
“All these bitches wanna try to be my bestie”?….wtf!
Note: I swear to god on that Usher song, this bitch Nicki Minaj was sayin’ somethin like she’ll take cassie from diddy…I was ummm, okay, I thought it was definitely the other way around. But this bitch is a parasite from that circus they called young money
“Im from the ghetto not degrassi” freddie gibbs
@ hype 101….no longevity
COSIGN 100%!!!! COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER!!!! ONE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
^ You’ll have longevity posting on this blog tho, you never leave! No one gives a fuck about your opinion!
Nicki Minaj is the rap version of Ciara–hot for a while, then ummmm…YAWWWN…
im really wondering who tapped Nicki first. Is it Drake or Wayne?
I know Wayne’s tappin Shannell. They both nice and thick. YM girls can get ittttt
@ mac WEASEL/cantstopusnow/noles506/noles_corleone
U GOT ALL THEM HANDLES N U STILL WACK!!!! HA!!!! GET A LIFE CHUMP!!!!! U A FUCKIN’ CORNBALL FROM CANADA!!!! FOCUS ON THAT FAILURE OF THE SO-CALLED WEBSITE U GOT!!!! BASTARD CHILD SOUND LIKE HE AIN’T GOT NO FRIENDS!!!!! SO HE’S BEGGIN’ FOR mac DIESEL’S ATTENTION!!!! BUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! HOPE I MADE YA DAY!!!! WUT A FUCKIN’ LAME!!!! SMH!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!!
YEAH ONE COVER WIT NICKI
ONE WIT DRAKE
AND ONE WIT TREY SONGZ
THAT WAS MORE A GOOD MOVE
good luck Drizzy and Nicki lets hope they dont die like the other one hit wonders hopefully they can drop their albums as soon as possible
^^ Drake’s got 10 top 40 hits in less than a year, he’ll be straight.
Nikki? She’s trying to be the hip-hop Lady Gaga but her problem is she’s one speed.
A record like ‘Best I Ever Had’ can be covered in different genres because of the classic pop simplicity of the chorus and the piano chords.
If she got some singing lessons and had some fergie-esque pop records she could have some legs (no pun intended).
B.O.B.’s single will have longevity because of its classic pop chorus.
This bitch thinks she deserves this cause she was around last year and that they grown, uh i dont belive that one bit. just cause you putout more material dont mean you grown! i heard the drake singles and the nikki tapes, they sound the same as last year! i mean there def not any better. i hate drake but he might deserve this a little more then her but its jus bullshit. sum of these freshman got there own movements or there just there own artist. these young money cats part of ANOTHER rappers movement and they only get attention cause of him. there rapeing rap.
@Hype 101 & @ MAc Diesel I COSIGN NO LONGEVITY!!
nice points #HYPE101

Same bum ass haters on here day after day smh
sum dick riding stans on here day after day smh
I HATE DRAKE! I’M A HATER AND I PROBABLY HATE YOU!!
I had a feeling they were getting there own covers. Glad for Drake. Good for Niki. Drake has put in mad work and his movement / hustle is just as respectable as any of the others who made the Freshman cover – maybe more. Being half Jewish wasn’t the hardest part thing to overcome. Being from Canada created one of the biggest hurdles for him – that, and being on Degrassi. So if anything, that might trump being from the hood, or whatever street cred bullshit parameters fake thugs and music exec homos have set for aspiring rappers.
As for Niki, her grind is a little different. She actually has it harder than everybody else because she’s female. Whether we want to admit it or not, most of us are still ’round here wishing for Ms. Hill’s return – we aren’t even checking for anybody else. But Niki could be HUGE. She and her team just need to say F*** it, and stop asking homo thugs and fake gangstas for permission to enter the game. She needs to just do like Wil. I Am did with Fergie and just be like I’m here motherf***ers!
LMFAO!!! Drake never seen struggle in his life, he been had paper since he was shittin on him self, and that cake is part of the reason he made it so fast. and i really dont see how he has put in “mad work”, lloyd banks put out 5 mixtapes in the last 16months, what has this nigga put out? not that he a freshman but w/e,
uh and nikki and fergie are from 2 differnt worlds when it come to style, so idk how you think that can relate. she need those men around, she raps like all of them lol! how she gone rap without them to style off of?
you r a disease if you belive that bullshit you typed. i can say they are at times amusing artists, but what you say make you sound retarded
