www.mtv.com/news/articles/1704224/mack-maine-nicki-minaj-drake-praise.jhtmlDrake's Explosive '5 AM In Toronto' Just The Beginning On 'RapFix Live,' Young Money president Mack Maine teases Drizzy's upcoming LP, says Nicki Minaj is 'back on the music grind.' By Driadonna Roland, with reporting by Sway Calloway (@realsway) Say what you will about YMCMB, but the team is strong. On "RapFix Live" this week, Young Money president Mack Maine praised two of his star labelmates in particular, saying Nicki Minaj is "perfect" and Drake is "a special dude." The rapper also proudly proclaimed that both artists are working on new music that fans will love. Mack Maine really got excited to talk about Drake's new project. Yes, Aubrey took shots on the "5 AM in Toronto" record, and Mack said that's just the beginning. "The worst thing you can do is get that dude mad because he creates music from his heart and off emotion too," Mack told host Sway Calloway. "So when you get him mad ... You saw what happened with the '5 AM in Toronto,' and it's more to follow. That dude is amazing, awesome." Drake, who won the Best Rap Album Grammy for Take Care, has titled his third album Nothing Was the Same, and the ever-loyal Mack Maine said Drake has set the bar high. "Just know he won't disappoint you," Mack said. "He's actually, if you can believe, he's going to another level, taking it to another level. Like he said, 'Tryna do like Lebron and win another one, tryna get another one.' " Mack also noted that Nicki is successfully branching out into fashion and other outlets, such as her judging spot on "American Idol." But fans can rest easy; Minaj has not neglected the music."Nicki's a brand now," Mack Maine said. "Nicki's not just an artist, and that's hard for artists to become a brand. So whatever she wants to do, from the makeup to whatever, the clothing line, American Idol... She's still making great music."Mack shared that Nicki will be featured on a single for Future's upcoming album and noted, "She's back on the music grind again, so Nicki's doing everything we can ask and more. She's perfect."

The album cut is not even 4 minutes long so I expect a 7 minute movie.

I guess that there will be no more pop singles from the album but was she serious that she's done doing pop in general? I love some of her rap tracks but her pop material is really great too so I hope she does a couple more with the Pinkprint, just enough to not alienate her fanbase even more.

She said the Roman Reloaded The Re-Up tracks are a good look at what album 3 will be like.

Maybe Va Va Voom being on the Re-Up indicates there will be an ounce of Popnika...

As much I love pop-Nicki, I think the going in the direction of the Re-Up is a smart choice. It should have been the direction PF:RR had gone in the first place. The sophomore album should have been an expanded version of the Re-Up with Va Va Voom as the lead single and Turn Me On as an extra bonus track. Then re-release with tracks that pander to pop listeners like Starships, Pound the Alarm, etc. I think the album campaign would have gone much better had it been this way instead.

Cool video, nothing spectacular (which I was expecting). Her and Wayne seem to have a brother-sister relationship so I bet filming some of those things was awkward. I can just imagine how many takes they had to do because of Nicki bursting out laughing.

I love the video and I hope "High School" goes Top 10 at Urban, it and "Hell Yeah" are my favorite tracks from the Re-Up.

I could have done without a video for "Up in Flames". I need videos for "Hell Yeah", "I'm Legit" and "I Endorse These Strippers"
