It’s Pink Friday somewhere! Or Black Friday, as Lil’ Kim might counter today.

“I’m turning Pink Friday into Friday the 13th,” Lil’ Kim unleashes on “Black Friday,” a brand new Nicki Minaj diss track (and largely considered a response to Minaj’s “Roman’s Revenge (feat. Eminem)” off of Pink Friday). (LISTEN)

Above a beat borrowed from Pharoahe Monch‘s “Simon Says,” Kim spits verse after verse of straightforward snuff against the Harajuku Barbie, attacking her image, her flow–and even her last name. (“We all know your last name’s what got you a job / You’sa put together gimmick, something like a collage.”)

As a fan of both (although I’ve gone off Minaj a bit after hearing Pink Friday in full), it’s hard to watch this (semi-dull) battle continue down this tired path. Then again, who doesn’t love a good ol’ hip-hop feud?

“I will erase this bitch’s social security number,” Lil Kim promised the crowd two weeks ago in Queens.

Sigh. Why can’t we just keep it classy like Queen Khia, ladies?

THE NAZTI QUEEN IS BACK.

As you all well know, I am a MASSIVE fan of Khia “My Neck, My Back” Chambers and her delightfully potty-mouthed lyricism. I’ve eagerly awaited the return of the Queen of the South for some time now–and finally, she’s arrived to take her spot on the throne once again!

“Been A Bad Girl” is Khia’s official comeback, a slow stuttering trash fest complete with crude, breathy promises and nazzzty come-ons. “Pin me down, lock me up / I been a bad girl, and now it’s time to punish me,” she half-sings in the chorus, surely one of the gangstress’ more conservative offerings in recent memory.

According to The Prophet Blog, the track was apparently inspired by Janet Jackson, which is funny given their longstanding feud.*

*A feud that exists only within Khia’s head.

The thing about this new song is that it’s kind of genuinely hot in the un-ironic sense, and it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if J. Jackson actually did go and record a number like this. Wait, what am I saying?!

“Been A Bad Girl” precedes the release of the Thug Misses’ new double album (!), Khia Shamone/Motor Mouf, due out in the spring.

As many of my most beloved Muusers know, pop music isn’t the only sound spinning on my iPod.

In my spare time, I happen to be an enthusiast of all things female gangsta rap–be it of the quality variety (Lil’ Kim) or for the coveted LOLZ (Khia).

As of late, I’ve grown intrigued by a new talent to the scene–Nicki Minaj. Though she hasn’t released anything officially yet, she’s been featured on a smattering of mix-tapes, a few guest spots on some rapper’s remixes, and a verse on this God awful Lil’ Wayne song, “BedRock.”

I must say, while I can’t figure out if it’s out of true love or simply the chuckles, I am totally feeling her right now…even if Lil’ Kim isn’t.

I’mma bad bitch, I’mma I’mma bad bitch….

Guess what’s being shot right now?

britneyspears 2nd day shooting my 3 video in LA with Diane Martell. Lot’s of new choreography from Tone & Rich. It’s gonna be hot!- Britney

Just FYI: Diane Martel has previously directed Goldfrapp‘s “Ride A White Horse,” Robyn‘s “Who’s That Girl?” and, perhaps most importantly, Khia‘s “My Neck, My Back.”

And among their many achievements, Rich & Tone Talauega (they’re brothers!) have previously choreographed Jennifer Lopez‘s “Get Right,” parts of Madonna‘s 2006 Re-Invention Tour (most importantly, “Nobody Knows Me”), and worked with David LaChapelle on his krump-tacular documentary, Rize.

Oh yes, almost forgot: It’s time to rock Peter, Paul, and Mary’s worlds. “3″ is available on iTunes starting TODAY:

EVERYBODY LOVES 3.

Well, this review ought to divide my readers.

Electrik Red are like the bitter castoffs booted from a pre-fame Destiny’s Child (one of them is named Binkie!) that decided to team up, have a massive orgy with The-Dream, and then cook up the most ghettolicious, glorious heap of scrap tracks from Ciara‘s latest album and called it How To Be A Lady: Volume 1.

Now, if there’s anything that I love in this world, it’s a girl with a potty mouth. Make that four girls with potty mouths! I’m talking ’bout some trash-talkin’, y’all-don’t-know-me type of shit–that’s why I listen to Khia for motivation and spiritual guidance.

Really then, it will be no surprise for anyone to learn that within the first few seconds of the opening track off of the Reds’ debut that I quickly learned to love: “And I’m the shit wit the shit shawty / I’m the shit wit the shit / I know what I’m doin’ with this shit / ‘Cause I’m the shit with this shit, shawty.” Concise, yet mind-blowing. Yes… ’twas love at first “Muah.”

Later on, my emotions were only further confirmed with the delicious bluntness of “W.F.Y.”, the squeaky, “Maneater”-friendly stomps of “Kill Bill,” and “P Is For Power,” the defiant “Single Ladies” addendum that plays like the schoolyard chant I never had growing up: “You ain’t gettin’ no P…nope, nope.” Any guesses on what it stands for? Me either.

But even if the uptempos aren’t your thing, the slow jams just may be. Take for instance the supple, grind-ready “9 To 5″ that clocks in just around the proper baby-making BPM. You’ll want to watch for some small glimmers of the Janet Jackson of yesteryear that one, as well as within the irresistibly catchy single, “So Good.”

Lets keep it real here: If you’re looking for originality, talent, or anything of any substantial cultural or musical value, this may not in fact be your cup of bubbly. But if you’re the type of person who finds solace in Kelis‘ “Fuck Them Bitches,” Ciara‘s “G Is For Girl (A-Z),” or anything off of Danity Kane‘s (RIP) last two albums, you’re going to have some fun.

There are times when I find a song communicates my emotions in a way conversation never could. The last song that made me feel that way? Khia‘s “Like Me.”

Now I’d like you all to try “Style Over Substance,” a minimal electro-mockery of all things hip by a group called Suds & Soda. From rat-like dogs to large sunglasses, Suds and Soda locks it in right from the get-go. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that it sounds like a polished Dragonette demo.

“We’re a faceless band, we play electroclash. Does that make us cool? Does that make us cool?” the emotionless lead ponders off the last ten seconds of the track.

Answer: Yes…yes it does.

Hello, lovers! Just got back from Mohegan Sun about a few hours ago. I was horrified when, after scouring the gossip sections a bit after getting home, I found a picture of Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson giggling it up together over at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Casino last night. You know, the only other casino in Connecticut. Come on ladies, get it together…I WAS RIGHT THERE!

I’m furious.

But all is not lost, as I made a fantastic discovery last night at the casino’s CD shop that could alleviate most worldly wounds in our lifetime–This of course being the limited edition The Journey: The Very Best of Donna Summer greatest hits package! Delivered in a delicious purple box with a nice ribbon wrapping, the autobiography/greatest hits combo deal was on display for a measly $19.99! With a squeal and a giddy-up in the step, I snatched up this little jewel of disco’s finest, which will be proudly displayed at my abode in the coming year. Yes, proudly, register woman. Oh, trust me, I know what you were thinking with those questionable eyes…And I don’t care for it one bit.

By the way, the new Khia album, Nasti Muzik, is the soundtrack to my life. “Y’all ho’s can’t do it like me…”
