Nicki Minaj - Beez in the Trap
Artist: Nicki Minaj
Featuring: 2 Chainz
Producer: Kenoe
Album: Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
Label: YM/CM/Universal Motown
Update: Click “Listen Now above to watch Nicki’s Benny Boom-directed “Beez In The Trap” video.
Nicki Minaj is indisputably many things: an international superstar, an avant-garde fashionista, a Roman-Catholic heretic, but the debate lately revolves around one question – is she still a rapper? While seemingly moving to the pop side of the musical spectrum with previous release Starships, Nicki continues to push her “rap” roots on her latest single. In fact, she’s in it so deep that she Beez in the Trap. Producer Kenoe provides a spacier and snappier beat than might be expected on a trap song, but Nicki’s nothing if not a defier of expectations, even taking her foot of the gas when it comes to her mic delivery, putting aside her usually schizophrenic rhyme style in favor of a mellow, almost spoken style. It’s a calming effect that even rubs off on the suddenly ascendant 2 Chainz, who layers his verse with no shortage of loud smoking and slow drinking. So how about it DJBooth Nation? Do you think this is the kind of record that will have the trap running to cop Nicki’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album when it drops on April 3?

It seems Nicki is back to her 'ol rapping self, except she oddly sounds out of place now.

Big shout outs to all my NJ peeps(Yes, Hoboken included). I don't exactly know why, but I kinda like this joint. I like the simple sounds in the beat by Kenoe, and 2 Chainz was pretty tight. Chorus is pretty cool too. Decent track by Nicki.

Not terrible. Not good. I can't really think of any style of music I would like from Nicki anymore. She kind of ruined everything.

This is just garbage....I don't understand why artists capable of making decent music choose to put out records of this standard of quality...
The beat is pretty bad, Nicki's raps are horrible as is 2 Chainz. But the worst bit has to be the hook - repetitive, annoying and poorly constructed. Simple, catchy, snap-rap records that will bump in the club can be executed well (see Rack City), but this one completely misses the mark! |
