Normani Previews Snippet From Long-Awaited Album, But Fans Aren’t Messing With It

April 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, Normani has been an artist who fans have been dying to hear from again. The former Fifth Harmony member has been dropping loosies and singles since 2018. However, none of them have landed on an album. Her fan’s anticipation for this debut solo project has been building since that year and it makes sense. She has proven to be a formidable vocalist and someone that can definitely pull in numbers for the R&B genre. However, with all of this time in between that promise of a solo effort, it appears that fans are growing tired of waiting and waiting. Case and point are the reactions that Normani has received for her new snippet.

The Neighborhood Talk reshared a clip from Normani previewing some music from Dopamine. The lyrics of, “Bling bling blaow,” along with the club-friendly beat are turning a lot of people off. One fan comments, “Bling bling who?!?!? Normani babe we trying but cmon.” Another chimes in, “This would’ve been fire in 2008.” Additionally, someone else goes, “At this age, I am not singing out bling bling blou… I’m just not doing it.”

Is Normani’s New Teaser Doing It For You?

It seems like the last time fans were truly excited about Dopamine was when she announced that title and its accompanying artwork. That happened back in February of this year on her Instagram. “Cryingg typing this rn. DOPAMINE THE ALBUM.” However, Normani never included the release date and still did not in March when fans were reaching out asking for some other news on the album.

What are your thoughts on this new snippet from Normani’s upcoming album? Do you disagree with the majority’s reaction to the song, why or why not? Has her new project lost all of its hype and potential? When do you see her dropping this? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Nicki Minaj’s Younger Sister Teases Music & Draws Mixed Reactions

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One major life lesson for people out there looking to start anything that is outside of your comfort zone it is that others are going are going to predict failure. They are going to tell you it will be impossible for you to become successful at whatever it is you are looking to do. But remember, they are saying that because they would not be able to do it themselves. That is hopefully the mindset that Nicki Minaj’s younger sister, Ming Miraj, has when it comes to starting her career in music.

Ming became known as Nicki Minaj’s half-sister in 2013, but it took a while for them to be mentioned together again. To be more specific, it would not be until 2021 when Nicki wished her little sister a happy birthday, according to The Things. Even with that, their relationship still does not seem to be fully repaired as Nicki reportedly does not help her with her music. Ming was asked about her older sibling’s beef with Megan Thee Stallion. However, she had no interest commenting on the matter, saying, “I’m working on my life, I’m working on my mine, my grind… I don’t really care about that.” She added, “It ain’t helping me with what I need to do with my life.”

The Fans Insist Ming Sounds Like Cardi B

As we said at the beginning, people outside of your circle are going to predict your downfall. That is what some are predicting for Ming after previewing her first two songs. The first sees her flexing her rapping ability, while the second shows off her approach to an R&B sound. One person says, “An she only gonna blow up cause she Niki sister ” Others also feel like she sounds exactly like Cardi B, a sworn enemy of Nicki. But, there are a couple supporters. “Keep doing you boo. You are beautiful and you will get the recognition you deserve with hard work and dedication. Keep going. Nothing is perfect-ed over night. If Ice Spice and Sexyy Red can make it then you damn sure gon make it. You actually got talent .”

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s younger sister Ming song previews? Do you think she can forge a successful career? Are fans being a little too harsh on someone just starting out? Do you agree that she sounds a little like Cardi B? Would you want to see Ming and Nicki collaborate in the future? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
