Pink friday when does it come out

And I tried to meticulously recreate it by getting the same gear and recording it in exactly the same way. Apparently, we did that good of a job recreating the vocals and recreating the sample. It was a train wreck of events that led up to Nicki having that track. I sent the beat to Lil Wayne, but I never heard back. Probably three months went by.

I recorded the same track and sent it to The Game. He recorded the song, but then Wayne reached back out saying he wanted the beat.

After that, I think Wayne got locked up. I was in L. At that time, I think Puff was managing Nicki.

I guess he played the beat for her and she loved it. But the catch was, she knew Wayne had the beat already. She called me personally about wanting the track. She told me that he told her that she could have it. I sent those records to my manager, Stephen Hacker, who sent them to her manager at the time, James Cruz [who was managing Minaj alongside Diddy. And she recorded those in Burbank and Glenwood.

That song experienced a new life in this genre. I really felt it was a very special beat. We sent it to [Nicki] only, and that was pretty much the catalyst of this song. I thought it was cool because it was kind of a departure from her other stuff.

It was a relationship-type song where she was being very vulnerable. When I was a young man, my dad showed me the movie The Breakfast Club. I started making music by making a lot of samples. So we tried it without the sample. So we ended up leaving it there. I really liked that she did choose Natasha Bedingfield to feature on the song because it was kind of different and she really has a lovely voice. I play the guitar on it and [Nicki] asked me to put a bridge on it.

I was on tour and I got a call from her team saying that Nicki would love me on her record. That was her big breakthrough album. The songs that I was writing at the time were about getting to the heart of who I am. It was after I had just performed on stage, so it was like 10 or 11 PM. The bus went ahead [to the next tour stop] and I stayed [to record the next song] and I flew the next day. I remember working until very early hours and just feeling so recharged.

I just got so much energy from recording on it. She really started a whole era. I mean, we had amazing women in rap before her, like Missy Elliott and Lauryn Hill. She just gave us what we needed right at the perfect time. Follow him alexgwriter. More Like This. Trending Stories.
