A Thin Line Between Love & Hate (1996)
In this episode, we get into what I like to call the black version of Fatal Attraction. Who was crazier Alex (Glenn Close) or Brandi? I think Alex got Brandi beat.

Martin stars as Darnell, a fast-paced, womanizing nightclub promoter who gets paid back in full when he scorns a beautiful woman with psychotic tendencies who will punish him for breaking her heart.

Nicki Minaj Corner: Organic Come Up
In this episode we get into what Nicki has been up to lately. With her 4 song releases already out this year only 5 months in, it's pretty clear she ain't letting up. Her and Ice Spice teamed up for Princess Diana remix. The people have been loving it and Red Ruby Da Sleeze has proven to be a stable hit. Nicki has been very vocal lately about her the album and world tour which most likely means we are getting closer to the highly anticipated release date. Nicki was literally on the Come Up DVDs so her organic come up will always be the standard and I'm really not here for anyone trying to give others credit for that when the proof is there. Let's discuss..

As Told By Nique: Part 4
How has the year been so far? Well I started the year off a bit emotional. I turned 32 in January and lowkey succumbed to the birthday turn up pressure. I went on a date recently that lacked *Sparks* so we gotta get into that and how my dating life has been going overall.

Mar 21, 202353:04
Nicki Minaj Corner: The Bad Guy
In this episode we get into the narrative that Nicki is "beefing" with other girls for no reason at all. I still don't see any of it as beef fr. She’s a rapper and all the speculation of who she’s had bars for has not been confirmed 🤷🏾♀️. It’s really damned if she do, damned if she don’t so why y’all mad she embraces the bad guy role? People don’t know what they want from her exactly. Let’s talk about it.
Mar 18, 202357:46
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Undeniably one of the albums that defined the 90s and changed the landscape for women in rap forever. Lauryn Hill had the beauty, brains and capability to fearlessly rhyme about her life and experiences which set her apart from any other artist before her. Her performance in Sister Act 2 as Rita Watson in 1993 showcased her acting skills as it was her movie debut that proved acting was something she could conquer as well. Fast forward to 2023, this album is still one of the best albums and can be found on most music listeners favorite albums of all time list.

Life (1999)
In this episode we get into some of Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence's best work. Getting these too together for the movie Life was the best casting decision ever. The effortless way they are able to go back and forth with their comedic banter is hilariously appealing and makes this movie some of their best work. The movie tells a story about two men who met one unfortunate night that changed their lives forever. Wrongfully accused of murder Ray and Claude are charged with Life in prison.

Nicki Minaj Corner: Red Ruby Da Sleeze
Uh ohhhh we back with a new NMC episode. I definitely wasn't expecting to be discussing a new song this soon but here we are! In this episode we get into the new song Nicki dropped and some of the bars. Nicki did a Queen Radio episode and officially announced her new label and the artist she has signed. Big tingz are happening and I'm so here for it. I also get into my thoughts on monthly listeners and how that stat doesn’t really hold that much weight for a legacy artist like Nicki Minaj. I think it means more for a new artist than someone like JayZ or Nicki.

Nicki Minaj Corner: Most loved but yet the most disrespected
In this episode I get into how I feel Nicki is arguably the most hated/loved rapper in the game. I share some of my thoughts on the Grammys Hip Hop tribute and what it was lacking. In a perfect world there’s some things that would’ve made it better. I give some advice to the barbz and how they should used their power, more so how they shouldn’t. How would you feel if Nicki didn’t drop a new album this year? Hear me out on this. (I said I watched The Oscars but it was the Emmys)

I end the episode with some final remarks about where I am in my life personally. *Correction* Tony Hughes was a victim of Dahmer and he was a deaf black man, not blind! My apologies.

Interview magazine and i.D magazine are out now and the articles are a great read! Might talk about them on a next episode.

Nicki Minaj Corner: She said what she said
Nicki posed a very valid question and point but some how this has been turned into her being a “bully”. Some people clearly want Nicki to shut up and have her team speak for her. But Nicki has always been outspoken and I doubt she will stop being that just for twitters sake.
