A new wave of singles cleared the better part of last week’s Top 10 segment. Nicki Minaj took the crown, with an unearthed concept track from the past, “Letter To Lil Wayne.” The record first appeared at DDotOmen.
DJ Drama’sQuality Street Music album yielded two star-studded singles, featuring the likes of Rick Ross, Curren$y,Common and Kendrick Lamar. The album drops this week (October 2) on E1 Entertainment/Aphilliates.
One of the big independent Hip Hop tracks of the week was from Chino XL. “Hell Song” featured Tech N9ne and former Lootpack member DJ Romes. The song is one of the stand-outs from Chino’s comeback album, RICANstruction: The Black Rosary.
Nicki Minaj’s Found Letter To Lil Wayne
You can’t deny Young Money’s loyalty. Nicki allegedly penned this song, over the Heart-sampling “Shot To The Heart” beat that Wayne once rocked on Da Drought 2. The song, like Eminem’s “Stan,” ends with a suicide over an apparent stalled-deal with Minaj. Though it was rated poorly by DX listeners, this was the track they listened to most this past week.
