Nicki stakes her claim to be Queen of hip hop

Ahead of the release Nicki went live on Apple’s Beats 1 radio and did a track-by-track interview about each song on the album. While there’s plenty in the lyrics to raise eyebrows, the song people are really focusing on is “Barbie Dreams.”

In “Barbie Dreams” she goes after several industry heavyweights such as Drake, DJ Khaled, Young Thug and Meek Mill. The rapper though stressed that it was all banter, just for laughs. The album is already gaining hype. As of now it is probably one of the hottest things to listen to.
