It’s Rap Royalty!!! Young Money’s hautest–Drake & Nicki Minaj is on the May 2010 issue of XXL Magazine, looking every bit of Hip-Hop King & Queen!!!
.
The duo talk the ills of hip-hop in New York and the struggle of female MC’s. Also Minaj & Drizzy recently declined to shoot XXL’s hip-hop freshman 2010 class spread saying:
“No disrespect, but no thanks.” but her and her Young Money compatriot Drake, she felt she should have been down last year.
“Drake and I, we love XXL,” she told us recently on the set of her video for “Massive Attack.” “We just shot for XXL. With all due respect, we felt like we kinda had graduated from the freshman class. We felt that XXL missed the mark when they didn’t put us on the cover prior to that. They have to pay for that. They can’t say, ‘Hey, get on the next one.’ But we love XXL. That’s like a hip-hop classic. So we said, ‘Can we have something just a little bit more catered to us, so that we feel like we have still grown as artists, so we’re not at all disrespecting the magazine?’ They were cool with that.
“We didn’t dictate, we just asked nicely,” Nicki smiled.
