Beyoncé covers (sort of) "Darling Nikki"

http://www.rollingstone.c...j-20151026

.

Beyoncé interpolates "Darling Nikki" by fellow Tidal signee Prince and transforms it into "Darling Nicki (Minaj)." It's on Beyoncé's official YouTube, so let's see how long it takes before there's a takedown "request" from NPG Records... wink

111k views so far! The power of Beyonce. Actually not a bad effort in changing the lyrics around..quite smart.

the new lyrics: neutral


"I met a girl named Nicki / I guess you can say she was the rap queen / I met her in the studio lobby but her booty looked bigger in the magazines / She said 'B, would you jump on this song of mine?' / How could I resist when I heard little Nicki rhyme."

Have entertainers run out of ideas of their own, that they have to use other entertainers work, that has been done before? What happened to using your own brain to create something that someone hasn't heard before!

That part was kinda dope , I gotta admit lol. With the whole Darlin Nicki melody she kept on it.

Prince has released cover versions, even as singles. Prince has sampled other artists, often uncredited. But I guess you objected to those also, right? Right?

Anybody else think it seems like shade thrown at Prince for not showing up? Too much cursing on this stage? Oh, okay... we'll play one of your songs. In fact, THAT song.

Sure... If you put it to a dozen of people who like to over interpret the slightest thing to fit their particular worldview. Wouldn't she keep some of the racy language? She doesn't so maybe it means she agrees with Prince? Let's read things into things.

Wow, what a low point in her career. I mean, what kind of artist with any dignity respects Nicky Minaj (or even sing about her).

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

It aint that serious. So many act like Beyonce took meat cleavers to "Darling Nikki". It's a playful serenade to Nicki Minaj.

NO ONE TODAY IS WORTHY OF PRINCE'S LYRICS AND MUSIC!!! Create your own work and stop stealing from the legend. Artists need to stop being so lazy and "Let's Work"

Okay, I'm sorry for such harsh words when it's not meant as anything too serious.

"Embarrassing", is more like it.
