(Throwback Mixtape) Nicki Minaj – Playtime Is Over [Her First Mixtape!]
Nicki Minaj has come a long way since her underground days back in 06-08. I was in the IFWT office rocking to my favorite track on this tape (“40 Bars…Nick goes IN on the “Banned From TV” beat) and it caught Flex’s attention. He figured it’d be dope to throw this up on the blog, for all the fans that didn’t know Nicki way back when! Her sound is still similar but you can tell it’s definitely evolved. Listen and download Nicki’s first mixtape (2007!), “Playtime Is Over” after the jump. Marisa Mendez
Kicks: Reebok Classics Presents: @Common
Common reflects on his sixth studio album, “Be” which became his second gold record. Common describes the album’s concept shortly after its release, he said, “I named it Be to be who you are, man, and be able to be in the moment and not try too hard. Be is another way of saying just do without trying hard, like I said, natural and be true to the core of who you are; and this album, I wanted to just be and not just go and exist as just an artist, not worried about the past.” Check out the video after the jump… @DJJUANYTO
