i twittered this the other day but i keep going back and back and back to it and really, this is amazing stuff and everyone should be on it: Lloyd's new free 8-track EP, Like Me: The Young Goldie EP.
My girl Nicki Minaj fucking SLAYS her verse on "Take It Off" - slow, menacing one-liners, voice rising almost to a bellow, then "IF HIP-HOP WAS DEAD - BITCH I JUST BROUGHT HER BACK" and then that crash and then the fucking doubletime flow, oh man it is one of the finest pop moments of the year.
Another random Lloyd leak, "Night & Day", which isn't on the EP, has crept up and become one of my favourite late-night jams of the year:
And we have all heard Nicki's foray into dubstep, "Saxon", right? It's a Rihanna demo apparently (hence the "bitches it's RiRi" intro) but Nicki's way ahead of the other rappers who've done dubstep this year (Snoop, Eve) because of the way she bends her voice to mirror the beat.
