Kanye West Unleashes “Monster” Video

When was the last time you saw a rap video that started with woman hanging from a ceiling by a rope? Bon Iver’s chant at the end of “Monster” “I crossed the line…I’ll let God decide…” takes on a whole new meaning after watching this macabre video from Kanye West’s appropriately titled Dark Twisted Fantasy. The clip for “Monster” features all of his co-conspirators (Rick Ross, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj) in this b-boy remix of the grisly slasher flick “Hostel.”

Nicki Minaj Producer Drew Money Speaks On ‘Right Through Me’ Leak

“Hello Brooklyn” producer Drew Money spoke to Vibe about the Nicki Minaj “Right Through Me Leak”:

“I had no clue ‘Right Through Me’ was going to leak. All I knew about the record was that they were considering it as a single. I went into the studio with Nicki specifically in mind. We’ve never worked together before but I just knew it would be the right type of record for her.”

Signed to Spliffington Management, CEO Stephen “Spliff” Hacker confirmed that Drew will be working to add another record to Pink Friday’s final track list.

“Drew’s got a lot of things lined up with the Cash Money family,” Spliff tells VIBE. “Nicki recognized the sound and actually hand-picked this record. He’s headed out to L.A. in two weeks to work directly with her.”

D-Dot Tells Story Of Unfinished Lil Kim & Nicki Minaj Collaboration

From Vibe.com

It was the ultimate female rap co-sign: Lil Kim hops on a track with underground-bubbling-but-mainstream-nobody Nicki Minaj to keep the female rap torch ablaze. The only problem—it never quite happened.

Hip-hop web heads were left perplexed after an un-mastered track called “Everywhere We Go,” which featured the currently feuding Kim and Minaj, hit the Internet earlier this month, with drops from storied producer Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie seemingly certifying it’s authenticity. The former Bad Boy beatmaker told VIBE that the two-year-old track was intended to be a Queen Bee and Barbie collab, but Kim never laid her verse.

“As soon as Kim came home from jail—right before Dancing With The Stars—I was like, ‘There’s this new bitch that’s about to be hot, you might want to fuck with her,’” remembers D-Dot, who laid the beat. “Nicki came to the studio and did the verse with me. She hadn’t even met Kim.”
