Is “mixtape Nicki” back and in full effect? One listen to her latest release, ‘Bust Down Barbiana,’ has us thinking “yes”!
The Grammy-nominee, just days after unveiling remixes to Meek Mill & Drake‘s ‘Going Bad’ (and later Lil Baby & Gunna‘s ‘Drip Too Hard’), has tackled Blueface‘s ‘Thotiana.’ Rebranding the tune, ‘Bust Down Barbiana,’ the cut is lined with Minaj’s clever wordplay:
“I been a bad bitch, cockiana (Cockiana)/And I’m still winnin’, Pacquiana (Pacquiana)/Percocet, popiana, killin’ everybody beat/Thank you next, Ariana (Ariana)/You gon’ have to give me topiana (Topiana)/If you tryna get some sloppiana (Sloppiana)/I call my opps oppiana (Oppiana),” Nicki spits on the Scum Beats-produced track.
Tiding fans over until more news on her fifth studio album arrives (which, as we reported here, she says is already complete), tuck inside for your first listen to ‘Bust’:
?????♀️ oh god. She really is struggling and grasping at straws. Honestly she should name this era “I’m trying, y’all” ????? and she’s literally rapping about the exact same s****. She said going to be 45 years old in a Barbie box trying to rerelease pink Friday for the 10th time #HangItUpSis
Def not struggling, industry tried to black ball her, none of these h*** can see her pen game tho, without streaming these new h*** wouldn’t b here. 1st & only female rapper to sell 100 millions records cuz she the ???????????
Nobody black balled her. Her popularity is just fading. Every music act has it. Even REAL music artists with real originality have it. After 10 years Mariah’s popularity was less.. so was MJ’s… so was Whitney’s… so was janets… so was Beyoncé’s… but they’re all really huge star artists who sell millions of albums around the world so OF course a much smaller, less successful music act like Nicki’s popularity will fade too, she has like 1/16 of the popularity the people I named had. Ain’t no black balling honey you’re delusional
I appreciate her just going in on these beats and having fun. I really do. But…I’m worried. I’m not sure what’s her direction. Nicki’s career and eras as always been let’s throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. I think at this point she needs a plan and an album with direction.
And I mean, come on sis.. 10-11 years in, you’re almost in your 40’s and you’re just doing the same stuff you did AGES ago shows she’s really pressed about her decreasing popularity. She needs to go on a whole spiritual retreat go and live her life and figure some stuff out so she can actually write about something and have it have meaning. She has hundreds of songs and though it’s popular Ayckbourn times, has no longevity in the long scheme of things. It’s just a bunch of moderately popular oversaturdated songs that keep her in the public eye instead of a less amount of FIRE quality projects that keep her in the headlines not because she’s there but because it’s classic. She doesn’t have that in her catalogue
Bingo! Anything to be relevant, whether it dropping forgettable remixes or copying Lil Kim’s swag or throwing shade on social media or starting feuds. Nothing about Nicki Minaj is iconic or timeless. She’s more a troll than a bonafide artist.
?ya’ll not use to female rappers dropping freestyles I see smh but don’t nobody say s*** when n***** drop freestyles or mixtapes in between albums . They’re just fun lil freestyles to for her fans til she drop her 1st single off her 5th album. Clearly you can see the direction she’s going on for the next album is the “Old Nicki” Mixtape days
Shut your dumb ass up. They should make cocoa butter for extra ashy roaches, you insect.. Do you know what a freestyle is? It’s from the DOM ya r*****, Nicki never freestyled a day in her fraud life. Throw that b**** in the booth on Sway in the morning or Funk Flex like true emcees do. Until then your fave is all smokes and mirrors like the studio gangsta she’s ALWAYS BEEN. The day a barb ever schools somebody about real hip hop is when pigs fly! Know-Your-Place, The nerve LOLOLOLO!!!. As a matter of fact lemme get my raid…
Check out this awesome freestyle for those who say she can’t freestyle:

?u hating ass h*** all sound salty af, this s*** is straight ??????? Rappers can’t drop freestyles no more ❓❓If it was Drake or ol girl ya’ll would be eating this s*** up.
This is the same tired boring nonsense. She’s redundant like a broken record
Im in desperate need of something DEEP from her. Beyond the Surface. Its only so much you can say about your ass and being the baddest b****. Thats how cardi was able to come in so fast. The same will happen to her too if she doesnt evolve. I like the song im just not slayed.
?are U dumb❓Go check her catalogue dumbass, she has DEEP ass songs, ppl just pay them h*** dust smh ?what exactly is Cardi rapping about that’s so Deep, all her songs is about money, stripping, sucking d***, popping p****, twerking & gang s*** ?
Her long ass pinocchio nose is so ugly
Nobodies feeling her genetic mess anymore. She’s boring
Bust down then back that s h i t up…I’m loving this freestyle
It’s not a freestyle sis ????
I am here this impending meltdown. And it’s all middle america/barbz fault for overpraising this weird ass broad. 10 years of the same sh!t. ??? Just wait and see, everything I been talked about is gon happen the way karma intended! ?☕️
Stfu and stop hating nobody is f****** with Nicki….how the f*** you going to say she’s rapping about the same thing…..what are all these other rap girls talking about beside sucking d*** and twerking art you DUMB!!
Nicki is 40 years old. The other girls aren’t in their 20’s
The energy from haters on this site is different ….. ya’ll out here hating on the Best of them Nicki Minaj & Beyoncé ..calling them flops If their album is number 2…. but be supporting ACTUAL flops that don’t chart won’t chart .. and talentless heaux.
I can’t .
