[Verse 1]
Ayo, look like I'm goin' for a swim
Dunk on 'em, now I'm swingin' off the rim
Bitch ain't comin' off the bench
While I'm comin' off the court fully drenched
Here, get some haterade, get ya thirst quenched
Styled on 'em in this Burberry trench
These birds copy every word, every inch
But gang gang got the hammer and the wrench (brrr)
I pull up in that quarter milli off the lot
Oh, now she tryna be friends like I forgot
Show off my diamonds like I'm signed by the Roc (by the rock)
Ain't pushin' out his babies 'til he buy the rock
[Chorus]
Ayo, I been on, bitch, you been conned
Bentley tints on, Fendi prints on
I mean I been Storm, X-Men been formed
He keep on dialin' Nicki like the Prince song
I-I-I been on, bitch, you been conned
Bentley tints on, Fendi prints on
Ayo, I been off, Lara been Croft
Plates say Chun-Li, drop the Benz off
[Interlude 1]
Oh, I get it, huh, they paintin' me out to be the bad guy, well
When's the last time you see a bad guy do the rap game like me?
[Verse 2]
I went and copped the chopsticks
Put it in my bun just to pop shit
I'm always in the top shit
Box seats, bitch, fuck the gossip
How many of them coulda did it with finesse?
Now everybody like, "She really is the best."
You play checkers, couldn't beat me playin' chess
Now I'm about to turn around and beat my chest
Bitch, it's King Kong, yes, it's King Kong
Bitch, it's King Kong, this is King Kong
Chinese ink on, Siamese links on
Call me 2 Chainz, name go ding dong
Bitch, it's King Kong, yes, I'm King Kong
This is King Kong? Yes, Miss King Kong
In my kingdom wit my Timbs on
How many championships? What? Six rings on
[Interlude 2]
They need rappers like me
They need rappers like me
So they can get on their fucking keyboards
And make me the bad guy, Chun-Li
[Chorus]
Ayo, I been on, bitch, you been conned
Bentley tints on, Fendi prints on
I mean I been Storm, X-Men been formed
He keep on dialin' Nicki like the Prince song
I-I-I been on, bitch, you been conned
Bentley tints on, Fendi prints on
Ayo, I been off, Lara been Croft
Plates say Chun-Li, drop the Benz off
[Outro]
I come alive, I, I'm always sky high
Designer thigh highs, it's my lifestyle
I come alive, I, I'm always sky high
Designer thigh highs, it's my lifestyle
I need a Mai Tai, so fuckin' sci-fi
Gimme the password to the fuckin' wifi
Ayo, look like I'm goin' for a swim

Nicki look a damn fool. She got beef with Remy but coming for Cardi. Girl bye
Nicki Minaj Reveals the One Thing Cardi B Did That Hurt Her
While Cardi B has been saying the rivalry between her and Nicki was fan-made, Nicki now says it had legs. Though the two are cordial now, Nicki tells Zane Lowe in an interview for her new songs that the two got off on the wrong foot. It all stems from a song they did with Migos, “MotorSport,” which was originally a collaboration with just Quavo and Nicki. Later, after the rest of the Migos were added, she says Quavo texted her asking if Cardi could also have a verse on it, which Minaj says she approved (and still has the receipts to prove it). However, that’s not the story she says Cardi or Migos told after the fact. “The only thing with Cardi that really, really, really hurt my feelings was the first interview she did after ‘MotorSport’ came out. With ‘MotorSport,’ I kinda felt ambushed,” she says. “The first thing that came out of her mouth about a Nicki Minaj feature was ‘she changed the verse’ … When it was time to clear the air about that, no one did that. All of them allowed me to look like I lied.”
She also clarifies the reason she and Cardi did not film together for the song’s music video was because of a scheduling conflict due to them both using the same hairstylist. “I said to him, ‘You know if I don’t show up, they’re gonna think it’s because I’m doing it to be mean’ … They [Migos and Cardi] all knew that and still did interviews and jumped around it just to paint Nicki as the bad person so you could play the victim. That really, really, really hurt me because I really supported her.”
Though Cardi recently cleared the air about their tension and both agree there is no existing feud, Minaj notes, tearing up, that the damage has been done: “Up until this recent interview that she did, I had never seen her show me genuine love. I could just imagine how many girls wish they could have been on a song with Nicki Minaj. I’m not saying in it a cocky way, but yikes … It’s because of the Nicki hate train that she felt like she could speak about me in that manner.” However, Minaj adds that she doesn’t hold grudges (noting that she’s even forgiven Azealia Banks) and has no bad blood with Quavo.

Nicki Minaj Clears the Air on ‘Barbie Tingz’ and ‘Chun Li’
Nicki Minaj’s months-long media blackout ended in a flash yesterday as the rapper gave an illuminating interview to Beats 1 Radio and released the new songs “Chun Li” and “Barbie Tingz.” On the surface, the new music offers a stimulus package for fans hungering for more after the string of guest features the chief Barb has given us since last year’s release of “No Frauds,” “Changed It,” and “Regret in Your Tears.” The new songs also show the Queens rapper gravitating toward a distinctly hometown sound. Producer Chevy Music’s beats on both cuts revisit the crisp boom bap of bratty New York street rap classics like 50 Cent’s “I Get Money,” or more recently, Young M.A’s “OOOUUU,” although “Barbie Tingz” adds some chunky ’80s drum programming vaguely reminiscent of Run-DMC’s “Sucker M.C.’s” for dramatic effect.
“Barbie Tingz” features some of Nicki’s coldest trash talk in a minute. “Mad bitches tell they team make ’em like Barbie / Had to come off IG so they can’t stalk me / All they do is copy looks, steal music too / Want to see what bitches do when they lose the blue(print).” This will be received, at a minimum, as shade for Cardi B, who, as Nicki coyly noted in her interview with Beats 1’s Zane Lowe, currently employs Minaj’s hairdresser. The air of static between the two rappers is unfortunate, because it’s not entirely either artist’s fault. Cardi’s year of radio visits included an unusual amount of asks about how she relates to Nicki, because rap radio guys’ default questions for women revolve around which men they’re sleeping with and which other women they’re beefing with.
Eventually, one party has a bad day or simply gets sick of answering the same question all the time and says something snippy about the other. Cardi claimed that Nicki rewrote her verse on the Migos’ “MotorSport,” which features both New Yorkers as guests, and Nicki took it to mean her writing was being challenged, when it’s not unusual behavior for an artist to redraft verses on a potentially huge single. (Cardi spoke graciously about getting pointers from Bruno Mars for her guest spot on his “Finesse” remix during a week-long battery of Invasion of Privacy press; Nicki has thanked Kanye West in the past for pushing her to give her best performance on his single “Monster.”) Now, it seems like a beef that did not functionally exist before has been willed into existence by sheer force of public hunger for it.
The rap industry has a grueling double standard for its women. If they rap well, they’re accused of having ghostwriters. (Somehow, the insinuation that Safaree wrote Nicki Minaj’s music has survived the time he got roasted on The Breakfast Club for a terrible freestyle.) If they rap capably but a little unremarkably, they’re accused of being terrible. If they rap about haters, they field prying questions about which of their peers they’re skewering. (Guys like Drake get to fire dozens of shots on every album without naming names, and pretty much everyone rhymes about stealing people’s girlfriends with very little pushback.) If they dress provocatively, they’re accused of selling sex.
There’s nothing wrong with “selling sex” alongside music. Men do it all the time. Big Daddy Kane, one of hip-hop’s undisputed, all-time greats, once did a spread in Playgirl. Snoop Dogg once directed, produced, and soundtracked two porn flicks. I can’t think of a popular rap album that doesn’t contain at least a dozen lines about the artist’s sexual prowess. When men do this, we sing along. When women do it, we become puritanical schoolmasters. Rap Twitter is currently embroiled in a suffocating argument about Nicki Minaj “selling sex” because she popped asquat in a Fendi bikini on the “Chun Li” single art, but when Future talks about spending checks “on some pussy” and pawns off exes and one-night stands as “groupies” and “throwaways,” it’s relatable art. It is a deep-seated and very specifically American confusion, an offshoot of the same mentality that animates men everywhere from Hollywood to Hollis, Queens, to insinuate that promiscuity is disreputable behavior and that provocative dress is pretext to sexual assault.
But 2018 is already proving to be a special year for women in hip-hop, because there are several of them at different stations in the mainstream making great music. In New York City alone, we’ve got Cardi dominating the Hot 100, Nicki consistently making Billboardchart history, Azealia Banks designing devastating ballroom anthems, Young M.A making strides for fearless women who are proud of their love of women, and artists like Princess Nokia and Maliibu Miitchspeaking their minds on a local level. Elsewhere in the country and overseas, Cupcakke, Jean Grae, Stefflon Don, Tink, Kash, Asian Doll, DreamDoll, Cuban Doll, and countless others are hard at work. Everytime we see an outpouring of talent like this, the old itch for drama sets people sniffing for sneak disses and hints of discord. Where it doesn’t exist, constant needling eventually invents it. Where it can be prevented, no one steps in to cool it. (I’m disappointed in Quavo from the Migos, who, as Nicki told Zane, was asked to calm tension between Nicki and Cardi around “MotorSport” and refused. All night on Thursday, literal dozens of Twitter dudes told me that it’s not a man’s business to navigate a woman’s dispute. But when the man’s business is rapping, and the woman is a guest on his album … it is by textbook definition his business.)
This combative climate creates moments like “Barbie Tingz,” where a rapper has to clear the air by shaking some tables. It’s good for Nicki, because the song is a certified banger, but I would rather live in a world where we didn’t play Rock’em Sock’em Robots every time we see two women getting money. Imagine a new “Ladies Night” or “Ladies First,” a hit single where modern women got to celebrate their friendship instead of having to point out why they aren’t or can’t be friends. It’s possible, but it will take work. It will take a deep examination of our confused expectations for women, not just in hip-hop, but in America at large.
It shouldn’t be work to admit there are classes of citizens that get held to different standards, especially in hip-hop, a cultural outgrowth out of a community branded by this very feeling of otherness, but 2018 suffers under such a drought of self-awareness that we aren’t even supposed to say bigotry is racist. The bottom line is: If you want more and better art from women, pay it forward and celebrate talent where you see it. Dispel rumors when you hear them. Challenge yourself and your peers to be better stewards and allies. Help create the parity the culture currently lacks. 2pac said a rose can grow through concrete, but if we work at it, we can give them a garden.
plastic hoes that both look alike smh..
face palm hard
Them bitches both built with salvage yard body parts who cares

FUNKMASTER FLEX TALKS NICKI MINAJ VS. CARDI B AND GHOSTWRITING ON INSTAGRAM LIVE
ROMAN WHITE
APRIL 18, 2018
Funkmaster Flex turned up on Instagram Live on Monday to talk about Hip-Hop’s top female rappers. The legendary DJ also wanted to address his frustration with rappers hiring ghostwriters.
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj were the focus of most of the conversation with Remy Ma and Lil Kimalso being mentioned at points during the roughly twenty minute live stream.
“I don’t put Cardi B in the category of all the other rappers,” Flex said from the Hot 97 studio. “I think she’s an entertainer.” Funk Flex also admits that he thinks Cardi’s album is good, but he still puts Nicki Minaj over the reality tv star turned rapper.
“With a ghostwriter she’s not touching Nicki. So, what is she touching without a ghostwriter,” Flex asked.
Following the release of Cardi B’s single “Be Careful” a video was found on Twitter of fellow New York rapper Pardison Fontaine spitting his own version of the track which generated theories that the “Bodak Yellow” rapper had a ghostwriter — something that Flex repeatedly says he hates during his live stream.
“The lyrics are so simple for Cardi B’s songs, to know that you didn’t even write that…” Flex said breaking out in laughter before he could finish the thought. “Cardi’s consistently getting someone else to write her s–t.”
Flex’s rant comes after debates on social media of who is the better artist between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Cardi B’s very successful Invasion of Privacy album was out for about a week before Nicki dropped two new tracks, “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li” which helped get the conversation started. As the debate wages on, many on social media including Flex have acknowledged that it is possible to support both artists.
When asked where Flex places Lil Kim in regard to Nicki Minaj, the DJ could not answer because Lil Kim “touches a place in my heart” as far as the era the Brooklyn rapper came from. However, Flex didn’t bite his tongue when it came to Remy Ma who Flex believes “washed” Nicki Minaj with “SHEther.”

...and make garbage ass music...I guess it’s true familiarity breeds contempt
DJs will play this song in the clubs!
lmaooooooo
cardi is a legit threat to her fanbase/$$$...w/ the hype she was getting cardi was arguably on the verge of “replacing” her...this wasn’t one she could ignore...it’s really sad tho cuz remy is nicer than both these chics and legit a respectable MC period not just “for a woman”
The problem is that Nicki is genuinely a very kind hearted and sweet person while Cardi B is a gutter bitch.
Cardi B is only about her come up and would give two fucks about stepping on anyone on her way to money.
