I love Nicki Minaj for loving reggae music!!
From the instant I heard that the Bobby Konders and Jabba show on HOT 97 was BARELY playing reggae music.. thats when I realized that hip hop and reggae needed to have a serious conversation.
How do you stop playing reggae on a radio show that use to play 100% reggae?? Where they do that at?
Either way, with artists like Nicki Minaj and Drake who are dominating the hip hop scene, I give nothing but thanks to since they clearly have a thing for Jamaica and all its glory.
Nicki Minaj did the remix to Gyptian's "Hold Yuh" which I tend to hear more often than the original version..
She was featured in Sean Kingston's, "Letting Go" which I still can't get out of my mental CD player and now she's calling for Vybz Kartel with hopes that he will do a collaboration with her on her upcoming album, "Pink Friday".
Although it's unofficial.. I have high hopes. Nicki's statement came across her twitter page and as much as a hate using social networks as official sources, I'd like to believe that this one is concrete.
"I need Vybz Kartel for "Pink Friday"."
When Vybz Kartel was contacted, his response was, "I would definitely do it. No charge! Just work out something in the rampin' shop. Although every female artist wants to collab with the Teacha, for all I know that could be a fake tweet, a prank tweet. If she really want to do it, tell har mi deh pon di Gaza."
