Nicki Minaj Feat Skylar Grey - "Bed Of Lies"

[Deleted]

It sounds like an Eminem leftover from a few years ago. It's okay.

[tamed09]

I still don't know...hopefully top 15

[Wave.]

I like it. Skylar ' s tone makes me feel sad. Sucks for SB, he looks well off though.

[Mike]

It's alright. Wish the beat would have kicked in Skylar's parts towards the end. It just feels choppy.

[Linnethia Monique]

She should rename the album to 808s and Heartbreak Pt 2 because this solemn s**t is just... tiring. She's giving her hardest bars to other projects but for her own it seems as if she is about to break down in tears any second now. She may be showing too much vulnerability at this point. It's a complete contradiction of the "BOSS" image that she is selling to everybody.

[think pink.]

Uh, Anaconda & Only?. She's already released uptempo/hard tracks as singles. Winter is coming, perfect time for this kind of single on Top 40.

And lyrically, she went in on this song. Bars just don't have to be punchlines.

ETA: You can be a boss bitch~ and still be vulnerable.

[think pink.]

On iTunes!!!! Already #184.

Get to buying gorls!

[Glove Slap]

This is ok, although I feel that Rihanna would have been a better fit for the hook than Skylar,

[anafan]

I haven't really liked any of the other songs released so far, but this one I'm liking a lot!

[Wave.]

#61!

[Hurricane Lee]

FLOP!!!!

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}JK, let me listen to the ITUNES clip LOL.

Edit: Solid, based on the clip. Then again, I loved Right Through Me and Your Love so...here for Becki Minaj.

Sounds like what Pills and Potions should've been.

Yet it feels reductive. Like something Eminem scrapped for his album.

#37! She comin'

[ILLUSION]

Is it confirmed that this is a new single or just a song from the album

On a side note, we already have 4 singles from this album. That's nuts. This album better have like 20 tracks.

[Hashtag Pow]

Awww, man. I thought I was gonna like this, but it is painfully boring!!! She should have asked Beyonce to return the favor from "Flawless." I can hear an R&B singer belting out the chorus and adlibbing all over the place. Skylar sounds like she was sedated.



I really hate the way Nicki structures most of her songs too. She's limited as a writer. Her songs are always 2 verses and like 3 minutes of the hook. She's so...predictable.

Well we have 3 (I count dual releases as one single)

Pills N Potions
Anaconda
Only/Bed of Lies

[Hussy]

well this is slightly better than Pills n Potions but i don't hear anything special in this song

i hope this does well on radio and itunes or else this era will be really disappointing

[ILLUSION]

The more I listen to this, the more I like it

Which part?

[Enyasurvivor]

Skylar's part is great but Nicki just seems to fall flat. And why does every song of hers have o reference pills? It's like Lil Wayne with his stupid obsession with weed an vaginas.

If you listen to the lyrics, it explains her relationship with her now ex, and how at some points when they fought, or went through shit , she took pills for comfort.

Pills N Potions tells the story also.

then why use the reference in Anaconda too? I understand the usage in PNP and I guess BoL, but there's no need to remind us every song that you pop pills

[Love Plastic Love]

Ever since someone said it sounds like an Eminem leftover, that is all I can hear and it made me like the song less somehow :(

In that song, "Molly " was the pill being referenced . Oh Bae, if you need anything else, think pink. and I will hold you down.

[Fancy]

ugh i love this.

#27 iTunes

[Kinney]

Skylar on the hook is really weak and I agree that someone like Rihanna or Taylor (whose voices aren't so anonymous) would have been better, but Nicki's verses are great. I think this will be pretty big.

[think pink.]

#17 on iTunes.

Performing this at the Ama's this Sunday.
