The gloves are off and the claws are out. DJ Absolut premiered a snippet of Lil’ Kim’s response to Nicki Minaj on Hot 97. The full version is scheduled to debut tomorrow. Simon says: Let’s go! uhtn UPDATE: Final Full Version splash lives!

Jermaine continued his U.S. tour and included tracks from his latest street mix at Neumos in Seattle Wednesday night. Miss Casey Carter comes through with the footage of Grown Simba doing his one-two thing.

Before hitting the mall, hit the download link to Jay Rock’s latest mixtape, Black Friday. Currently available for the low, low price of free 99. Tracklist and DL below.

Here are my final clips from last night as Ms. Minaj shows her two sides. Get your Kleenex out as she gets emotional on PF‘s track six and then witness her shittin’ on the competition. FYI: No mention of Lil Kim by name last night. Hey, isn’t it almost time for Kimmy’s full diss track?

Of course, Nick needed a lil’ girl power on her night so Ri-Ri and KC both came out to show support. Safe to say, Ms. Fenty got this one. Squeeze!

Here’s a 1-2 punch for the ladies. F-A-B-O runs through his current heater from TINC2 EP and earlier spit his verse off Chris Brown’s remix.

For the opening song of her set, Minaj paid respects to the true Dungeon Dragon, Busta Rhymes, who debuted his verse off the soon-to-be released remix. Another mic got mutilated.

I swear to God, I’ve seen “Start It Up” live three times this week. Oh well, it still knocks. Fans were really surprised when ‘Elz popped up for “Beamer, Benz and Bentley” below. Dip Set reunion tonight? Double duty.

Opening up for Nikkimania is no easy task, but Loso from BK did his thing along with the assistance of a live band. Although he ran through his laundry list of hits and guest appearances, Fab took the time to drop a verse from his Wiz remake. NYC Everything!

Of course, the Barbies lost their shit when Drizzy Drake emerged on stage. Nick says “Moment For Life” is her next single and peep the dynamic duo performing “Up All Night” after the jump. Young Money time.
