Ester Dean - Gimme Money ft. Nicki Minaj

Here's a little knowledge for you: Ester Dean wrote Nicki Minaj's 'Super Bass' single. Also, doesn't this track seem a bit too much like 'Starships'? I think I've said enough.

Nicki Minaj - Dirty Money (Unreleased) x Freestyle [Video]

"Damn, look at the state of hip hop. What's going on?!". Those were some of the last words spoken by Nicki in this video after she had just finished killing an on the spot freestyle. To answer your question Nicki, you're the problem. She used to be a hard femcee from Queens that many knew for her appearances on the Come Up DVD series. Now she's turned into a fake hip hop pop icon that is loosely labeled a rapper. Stop being Barbie or Roman and start being Nicki. It's a damn shame to see what some people will do to their credibility to become rich and famous.

MTV's 2012 Hottest MCs In The Game

Debate on the Top 2 Spots

Each year, a group of MTV panelists sit down to discuss who they think the hottest MC in the game is and each year the final list of top ten candidates are scrutinized by just about everybody. While the list doesn't always necessarily contain the most talented artists out there, they certainly do a great job of ranking the "hottest" artists. Which I guess is what it's all about, right? After all, this may be the only list we'll ever see again where the names Jay-Z and Meek Mill are placed right next to each other. This year the crown when to Maybach Music Group leader Ricky Ross. "M-M-M-Maybach Music". Need I say more?

Hit the jump to check out the full top ten list and make sure you hit the comments section to let us know who your top ten is.

Nicki Minaj - Starships

As promised by Ryan Seacrest, Nicki's new 'Starships' single debuted yesterday and is already torching up the iTunes charts. A little less rapping and little more pop sound, Nicki takes it to the clubs with this huge new record. Barbie is back.

Guess I was wrong about Nicki's track that she performed during The Grammys to be up next for an iTunes singles. However, word is her Ryan Seacrest will be debuting this new single from Nicki, called 'Starships', tomorrow on his radio show. According to him, the track is going to be a huge success. I guess after all of those years working on American Idol gives him some kind of credibility with music, right? We'll have til tomorrow to see.

Nicki Minaj - Roman Holiday [Live at The Grammys]

As painful as it was for me to watch Nicki perform this tonight for The Grammys, it's tough getting a real feel for the overall sound of her new single. Everyone can expect the CDQ of 'Roman Holiday' some time tonight, so we'll have a better idea of how the track actually sounds when Nicki Roman's not going through an exorcism.

54th Grammys: The Offical BTH Performance Reviews & Videos

If you thought you were sick of 'Rollin' in the Deep' already, just wait...

The Grammys is the epitomy of music. And what would we be if we didn't do our own review right here on BTH?....a crappy site is what we'd be. The night was full of highs, highers, lows and even lowers. Hit the jump for a full recap of each performance along with a list of all the winners, but here's a little summary.

Killed it: Adele, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, Country Music in general, anyone playing a Whitney Houston drinking game (too soon?), Nicki Minaj (hate to say it).

Another Night at the office: Chris Brown, Cold Play, Maroon Five, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen

Give it a Rest: Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys (total age approx. 1,000 years)

Nicki Minaj - Young Forever

Another Sunday, another random Nicki track has surfaced with many questioning where it will land. This one actually sounds pretty good too (and by that I mean I actually listened to the whole thing). Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded coming eventually.

Nicki Minaj - Marilyn Monroe

After channeling Marilyn Monroe in a photo shoot with XXL in 2010, Nicki's now taken the idolization to her music with this new track titled 'Marilyn Monroe'. Not at all what we expected from her, as she sings over an R&B piano about how she sometimes feels like the classic diva. No word on whether or not this is the complete version or if this will end up on her upcoming sophomore album.

David Guetta - Turn Me On ft. Nicki Minaj [Video]

For those who don't know already, Guetta's Nothing But The Beat album is a monster. The newest single featuring Nicki Minaj has seen a lot of play from the radio to the clubs and now it has its own music video as well.

I really don't even know what to think of Nicki's music anymore. Anybody with me when I say I would much prefer to just hear her on features then her own music? At least the video was directed by Hype to give it some entertainment value.

In other news, her upcoming album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, has been pushed back to an April 3rd release. Hopefully that gives her enough time to rethink putting this track on the album.

Sean Kingston - Born To Be Wild ft. Nicki Minaj

Glad to see Sean Kingston is ok after the jet ski incident he had a few months ago. Now he's back where he left off making music that is prime for the radio. This Nicki Minaj-featured song contains samples from "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".

After claiming her last release, 'Roman In Moscow', was the "wackest sh*t on her album", Nicki goes ahead and drops the second single off Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. As much as I don't want to believe in this song, I can certainly see it catching success soon with it's infectious hook. Look for the video to be dropping in the next few days as well.

Nicki Minaj - Roman In Moscow

Fresh off her Grammy nominee for  'Best New Artist', Nicki brings out her alter-ego Roman for the first single off her upcoming sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, that's due out Valentine's Day of next year.

Birdman - Y.U. Mad ft. Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne [Video]

Young Money may represent nearly all that is wrong with hip-hop today, but they sure do know how to make tracks that the kids enjoy. Even though their anti-progressive subject matter eats me up inside when I hear it, they hide it so damn well behind dope beats and catchy as hell hooks. So, yeah, that's why I'm mad. Anyway, enjoy this new single from Birdman's upcoming Bigga Than Life album, if you're into that kinda thing.

Big Sean - Dance (A$$) (remix) ft. Nicki Minaj [Video]

Directed by Mike Waxx & Mike Carson of illroots.com

The crew over at illroots did another great job with this video. I can understand how this song became a radio hit, but it happens to be my least favorite track from Finally Famous (which happens to be one of my favorite albums of the year).

Drake - Make Me Proud ft. Nicki Minaj

Unfortunately Take Care was pushed back to a November 15th release date due to some issues with clearing some samples that were being used (so much for October's Very Own, right?). Now, we get the second single off Drake's album featuring his YMCMB running-mate Nicki Minaj.

Willow Smith - Fireball ft. Nicki Minaj

Pretty impressive for a 10 year old to score a Nicki Minaj feature. The irony of this dropping right now (if you can call it that)? I'm currently watching Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
