The queen, the royal highness of hip hop, has returned with a new single titled Last Time I Saw You. The versatility is definitely on display. After Red Ruby on the Sleeves or Sleeve, let me make sure I get this right. After she put out Red Ruby the Slease. Okay, so that's how you said. Red Ruby the Slease, right? she came out with this Barbie World track which is if you're looking at my analytic dreams Spotify channel for the video segment you can see Margaret

Robbie and Nicky Minaj and all the glory on a repeat video you can thank me later so anyways reason why I have this up is because the Barbie World track with Nicky Minaj and Ice Price and Aqua is still number 22 on the charts. Now, what does that mean? That means that Nikki currently has a hit on her hands. Because even though some of the best music I've been saying, it's came from soundtracks,

whether we're talking about Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse, whether we're talking about the Cree 3 soundtrack with the J-I-D track, the J-Cole interlude, whether we're talking about Wakanda Forever with the Rihanna track, whether we'll talk about Avatar Way of Water with the weekend single like it's been a plethora of great fantastic music coming out of these soundtracks so the Barbie soundtrack was no uh was no different as a lot of premium acts was on that soundtrack like billy ilish duelipa nicky and even uh duelipa's tracks actually doing well from the Barbie soundtrack but I believe let me make sure yeah Nikki has the biggest

track from that Barbie album I mean right next to her is Billy Elish followed by Doolipa it's funny how that works out but yeah so anyways I said that to say this when Nikki put out

super freaky girl I think that was her highest charting track ever because news came out that it was the first solo women rap single to go number one since Lauren Hill now I need y'all to go look up when it's the last time Lauren Hill put out music and you can realize how big of an accomplishment it was for Nikki to have super freaky girl go number one so fast but when a track like that goes number one I don't know if it's like muscle memory

but I'm always used to or not even muscle memory but I don't know if I'm just used to history I'm always like an album usually comes two to three weeks to a month at the latest after that because to capitalize off of the singles hype into the album right but for Nikki

she followed it up with Red Ruby the sleeve the sleeves which is a hit of course I think it's a hit and then now she has last time I saw you, which is more of a singing, a heavy singing track, also with a verse in there of rapping, but it's like, super freaky girl, Red Ruby the Sleeves was like hard hitting rap verses that everybody's going to gravitate towards because Nikki's one of the best rappers of all time. Then you come to this single, which is titled Last Time I Saw You, which is more of a singing,

like it's more of a R&B heavy track. It's a slower, more melodic track. The versatility is clearly on display. So I'm interested to see how this track charts compared to her heavy rap singles that she's been putting out with a super freaky girl and red Ruby the sleeves. Now, I don't know why she would delay it,

seeing that super freaky girl was such a hit, but fans, aka the Barbes, which is one of the biggest core fan bases, uh, co-like fan bases I've ever seen in life when it comes to music. I mean, of course you have the Swifties, you have the Beehive, then you have the barbs, like they, they up there. So with Nikki Minaj preparing to go on tour after her album, Pink Friday 2, obviously she won't be going on tour to like sometime in 2024, but with her giving us a release date

for October No For her The original Released date For Pink Friday 2 was October 20th But she delayed that But I don't know why

Yeah Nikki is set to Put out her album soon I believe But I don't know when I don't know when she's putting On her album I think she tweeted out of date

But I don't know what that means Like If I go to Nikki's account Right It's the last thing I'm looking up Let me see

Nikki Because she put out a date I don't know if that's for her album These rappers are professional Liars so I just I can't take anything at face value Like I have to see it to believe it She put out

She put out some numbers I don't know if she deleted it yet Yeah she may have deleted it I don't know I mean I'm not I don't really think Nikki tweets and delete stuff So maybe I saw it somewhere else Anyways

Um I think her album's coming out soon I don't know what soon means but I don't think we'll have to wait to next year to hear an album I think it's gonna come out at some point and with these three singles

like this could shape up to be one of Nikki's best albums of all time I mean she's literally calling it Pink Friday too and after having her highest charting single ever like think of how long

Nikki Minaj has been in the in the game for decades right super freaky girl was her highest charting single ever. That happened last year. So with her new album, her upcoming album, titling that Pink Friday 2, it could shape up to be her best album of all time. And she's been in this game for decades, which is why I wasn't hesitant to put her in my top 10 rappers of all time. I think at this point in time, Nikki is up there with the greatest of rappers.

So I think I had Nikki at like number seven on my top 10. Like I think she's pretty high up there as far as rapping. And I don't think any of the other peers, if you could even call them peers in her section, is even getting close to her. So yeah, that's basically it. That's all I have. Nicky Minaj, new single last time I saw you. Like I said, it's a more melodic track produced by ATO Jacob. A little, you know, switch up like compared.

the super freaky girl in um red ruby the sleeves so we'll see how it does on the charts but quality wise i really i'm i'm enjoying it is it's uh it's fire so click my link to hear my bio and let me know what you think of the track last time i saw you by niki menage uh do you think is fire or trash
