Hip-Hop | Hip-Hop Update: Nicki, Wayne, Big Sean, Phil Ade, Wale, Chip

Nicki revisists her acting side as she addresses the public as Lil Wayne.  As much as I love Nicki, I was kind of disappointed by her ability to impersonate him.  Sure she had some gestures and sayings down, but I feel like she could have nailed the head a little harder.  Nonetheless, you think Weezy was there for this?  Will he take it with the grain of salt it’s intended to be taken with? Is Nicki the new face of Young Money?

Usually it’s a toss up whether or not I like Bow Wow.  He recently dropped his latest single featuring his father figure, Lil Wayne.  I have to say Bow Wow nails this one and actually leads me to believe he’s got some of his childhood swag back.  MAYBE.

Here’s a remix of Miguel’s latest solo hit, “Quickie”.  Sean Don adds a pinch of G.O.O.D. for this slow hip-hop/rnb hit.  You can always count on Big Sean for an on point verse when it comes to something girls, hoes, sex, or any combination of the three.

Phil Ade drops some educational bars for all his college girls.  Taking a trip to several campuses, the Maryland native chirps off about all his lovely college coeds.  Not sure where this track is destined to land, but I’d guess Ade’s got a new mixtape on the way.

Wale recently stopped by The Come Up Show to debate trap music vs. his work with Ross.  He goes on to share Rozay easily has 33 cars, but who didn’t already know that?  While he was on the show, he dropped some Ambitious bars for Cosmic Kev.  On top of that, here’s a new cut from Chip Tha Ripper, which also features Wale.  I haven’t been a huge fan of Chip since his early days, but he has a decent showing on this Boi 1da produced track.  Wale still kills it.  Ambition, November 1st.
