even if you don’t like nicki or rap you have to admit this verse is pure art

Let’s not forget this is the verse Kanye almost cut because it shitted on every rapper in the game.

“It was like that moment when I thought about taking Nicki’s verse off of “Monster” because I knew people would say that was the best verse on the best Hip Hop album of all time or arguably top ten albums of all time. And I would do all that work, eight months of work on “Dark Fantasy” and people to this day would say to me  ‘My favorite thing was Nicki Minaj’s verse.’” - Kanye West (x) LMAO IT HAPPENED

"In 1999, I guest starred on Friends. And I panicked. I couldn’t remember my lines and the writers were yelling things at me, and I just stood there, completely frozen. But Jennifer Aniston was there and she was playing my sister and she came and pulled me to the side and she said, ‘Hey, are you okay? You’re kind of freaking out a little bit.’ And I said, ‘No, no. I’m not okay. No.’ And she said, ‘Okay, hey, here… I’m gonna do a little trick.’ And she said, ‘You’re just gonna make a mistake in the next take. Make a mistake and you’re just gonna flub your line or whatever and the audience is gonna love it.’ And I said, ‘Really?’ And she goes, ‘Yeah, because – don’t try to be perfect. Just be yourself.’ So the next time I went out there, I couldn’t remember my lines anyway, so I flubbed my line and I stopped and I let the audience just enjoy my mistakes and my failability. And she was totally right, they did love it, and I immediately felt comfortable. When I was thinking about Jen and what I wanted to say about Jen, that is the story that sort of captured Jen the best for me. That’s who she is.” –  Reese Witherspoon
