Aw, throwback Nick! This was recorded back in her Dirty Money days, and it’s a track off her first mixtape “Playtime Is Over” so I’m assuming it was 2007. She looks the same yet so different at the same time! Do you guys prefer this Nicki or the superstar she is now? Marisa Mendez
(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
