Poor Kim can't win for losing in this business now, man. She was recently featured on Monica's newest single Anything (To Find You) which also featured Rick Ross. According to SingersRoom, the single is now to be released WITHOUT Kim's verse on the track. Apparently, the song has a sample from the Notorious B.I.G.'s hit “Who Shot Ya,” and Voletta Wallace, B.I.G.'s mom, SHUT THAT DOWN. So the finalized version does not have Kim's verse on it at all.

Monica tweeted her fans and explained the situation (Read from bottom up)





















I wasn't really feeling Kim's verse connection with the song. To me, it was hardcore Kim which is great, but it didn't fit the feel of the song anyway. No diss. I do want her to make a comeback though, and compete with Nicki Minaj in female hip-hop. You know, since now a days people just giving Nicki awards, with her competing against irrelevant rappers *cough BET.* Monica, Kim, and Missy Elliot who worked on the track, are fighting to get the Biggie Estate to let them use Kim's verse. We'll see how that goes. The original version is below...though I don't know how long it will be up as copyright claims are being brought up on YouTube, and the original is being taken down slowly but surely.



PEACE.



Happy Monday people! Sorry I'm just now writing. I was out at a video shoot today at the J-O-B, so I haven't been anywhere near a computer...

This post isn't a news post. More just an opinion/discussion post. Just something I was thinking about. Prompted by none other than Miss Nicki Minaj.

Ok, so I never really rode with Nicki because I just saw her as a Lil Kim imitator and was turned off by all these people riding with her cuz I just didn't think much of her in all honesty. I didn't think that her rhymes really would compare to those before her. I'm listening to some of her new stuff now, because I realized today that I never gave her a full shot. And she's actually ok. Her rhymes are catchy. I wouldn't put her in my top 5 or anything, but she's pretty ok. So it just got me thinking, do we let our love of older artists like Biggie, Pac, Kim, Jay, Mary J., sort of block us from getting into other new artists like Nicki trying to make it? Have we become too critical of the newer artists out now? Now, there are some artists that I just will never rock with cuz they don't talk about nothing (no names lol) but there are some artists like Nicki and others that I think I may have just ignored because they ain't this person or that person. I mean, in all realness, there ain't gonna be another Biggie or Tupac Shakur. There ain't gonna be another Luther. Or Lauryn Hill. Or Aaliyah. Or Destiny's Child. Or Jodeci. Or WHOEVER. I'm not saying forget about the past, because without the past there would be no future. But we can't let future artists get blocked for doing their thing because of the past either. Just an opinion. What do you guys think?

PEACE.
