Nicki Minaj Explains How “Lookin Ass Nigga” Was Recorded

    Nicki Minaj has ramped up the rollout for her next studio album, The Pink Print, releasing the single “Lookin Ass Nigga.”

    In an interview with DJ Drama on his Shade 45 radio show, Minaj spoke about the track, which has received some criticism due to its Malcolm X-Themed cover art. “All the real niggas I know fuck with the song,” she said. “If you bitchin’ about this song, somethin’ ain’t right, because all my real niggas textin’ me lie, ‘Yo, I’m so glad you gettin’ these niggas’ asses!’ I’m talkin’ about niggas that really move weight, you know what I’m sayin’?…I dunno, if you’ve got a problem with it, you guilty of somethin’.

    Nicki also spoke about how “Lookin Ass Nigga” came to be. “I was in New York, and I don’t know if he was out there,” said Nicki of Detail, the song’s producer. “That was for the BMI thing. They had given me all these awards, and they honored Cash Money, and we went out to eat, and Detail was out there acting crazy, getting mad drunk. So Safaree went outside and spoke to him like, ‘Yo…Nicki’s about to start working on her album heavy,’ and he [said], ‘Oh word? I’ve been trying to get in the studio with her.’ So they set it up, we came about to L.A. …and ‘Lookin’ Ass Nigga’ was the first thing I did with him. It took a minute because I wanted to perfect every line… and it came out really good.”

    Finally, Nicki spoke about The Pink Print in general. “It’s a classic album,” she said. “That’s all I can think about right now. …I’m just working on the album. Nothing else is really gonna take precedence over that.”

    1. Since this bitch talking about “real niggas who sell weight that I know” shit to the press, you know if she ever gets in trouble for something with the police, she can talk about those real niggas that sell weight shit again since she likes to talk about who she knows so much.

      I see you Nicki

    2. this bitch just dont get it..

      everything about your personality, looks and lifestyle are fake

      and ur trying call out real niggas.. thts like lil wayne calling out a nigga for being gay or drake calling out a nigga sensitivity..who the fuck r u lol

    3. its funny bc when nicki was a broke bum bitch suckin these same niggas dicks shes dissin in this song she wasnt thinking any of that.

    4. or kanye making a song about people slaves to corporations and name brands..even though he came up off that shit. hyprocrites

    5. fuck this stupid fake cunt and fuck all of young money.
      clearly, this piece of shit has no idea what the word “classic” even mean. i’m sick of these nontalented, simplistic idiots using that word to describe the atrocities they record.

    6. “Finally, Nicki spoke about The Pink Print in general. “It’s a classic album,” she said.”

      Here we go with the “prematurely calling your album a classic” bullshit again. If you have to say that your album’s a classic when it ain’t even out yet, chances are it’s not. Let the people decide on that.

      1. The truth has be told, I can’t recall DMX or Ice Cube pulling that premature classic shit, but Ross has plenty of times, where’s he on everybodies iPod, oh yea that’s right he sits on the iTunes shelf

      2. FOH. Ross ain’t on everyone’s iPod. A lot of rappers are on iTunes as well, so Ross’ case ain’t nothing special.

    7. That picture of Nicki at the top of the article makes we want to punch her face in until it caves in. Annoying Looking Bitch.

    8. fuck cash money and their bum ass pop artist. im not checking for this hoe no more. she’s wack & fake ass hell, litereally

    9. this black bitch, instead of her disrespect a black icon like MALCOLM X…she needs to go her knees and swallow some semen!

    10. “All the real niggas I know fuck with the song,” she said. “If you bitchin’ about this song, somethin’ ain’t right, because all my real niggas textin’ me lie, ‘Yo, I’m so glad you gettin’ these niggas’ asses!’ I’m talkin’ about niggas that really move weight, you know what I’m sayin’?…I dunno, if you’ve got a problem with it, you guilty of something’.

      KILL YOURSELF

      1. Oh, yes. Nicki spits hard lines like “Yous a stupid hoe, yous a, yous a stupid hoe” and “I beez in the trap, bezz beez in the trap.” LOL FOH. Her bars are wack.
