5 Star Chick Official Remix (Official Video)

5 Stars... Bitch.

literally dead at the sight of Nicki Minaj in this video. she is so damn bangin. anyway tho. this is the official video for the remix to Yo Gotti's single, 5 Star Chick featuring Gucci Mane, Trina, and Nicki Minaj. so unless you are lameeeee, you know about nicki minaj. she's been on for a while with the whole mixtapes thing, but she is just now starting to get some radio-play with the remixes she has been featured on like this one, and the remix to Mario's "Break Up" but now she is going for her first role in an official video. i'm sure this is gonna be on BET, dunno about MTV .. they be trippn when it comes to gucci. lol. anyway tho. trina looks nice as usual. idk why they were both wearing colored contacts (at least they fit them and weren't like... emerald green or some sht) but i wanted to point out the job WHOEVER did on Minaj's make-up. sht looks ca-razy. i can't wait until she blows up, and releases a full album.

Tossed Him out the Window - Ron Browz Dropped From Label

Ron Browz Dropped from Universal Motown Records

is it me or does everybody else here auto-tune when he talks? apparently, producer/recording artist Ron Browz has been dropped from his label. yea, ALREADY. that's too bad.. i didn't really care for this guy, but i didn't have a problem with the tracks he's recorded or been featured on either. i guess DOA is taking out the weakest auto-tune users (or ABusers). i mean, even T.Pain himself has recorded some non-auto-tune tracks. no one is really sure whats gonna happen with his division of Universal Motown, Ether Boy Records.. but really tho, who cares?
