Future’s “Codeine Crazy” beat was originally for Nicki Minaj

Future released his mixtape Monster on October 28, 2014. The beat to Codeine Crazy, the last song on the project, was originally made for Nicki Minaj. Producer TM88 revealed in a 2017 interview, Future’s Monster beat was meant for Nicki Minaj’s third studio album, The Pinkprint.

“I really made the beat for Nicki, She was working on her album and I wanted to give her some beats so bad, and I ended up not getting them to her. Future called, I think it was the next day or next two days, and he was like, ‘Bro, I need some beats. I’m going in. I need you.’ I was like, ‘fuck it,’ and I sent the whole pack to him. Ended up getting a lot of stuff that’s on Monster, and Codeine Crazy is one of them.” – TM88 told HNHH

TM88 also produced Fetti, After That, and Showed Up on Monster.

Future’s 2014 mixtape Monster is now on all streaming platforms. Watch and Listen to Codeine Crazy below.

Tekashi 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj’s platinum hit “FEFE”’s beat was intended for Drake

Tekashi 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj’s “FEFE” collaboration was totally unpredictable yet, went triple platinum and secured a spot in the Top 5 of the Hot 100 chart. How bizarre to think that the beat could’ve possibly belonged to Drake.

“I made the beat in the LA in my kitchen—on my kitchen table—and I thought it was, like, an anthem for Drake,” Murda told the host. “I sent it to Drake, got no response. I was, like, ‘Alright.’”

Murda Beatz produced the beat with Cubeatz, and says his friend insisted that he played the record for 6ix9ine. He admitted that he wasn’t a Tekashi fan but it was worth a try. The producer adds, “Then he pulled up, and then that’s one of the beats he was fucking with. We made ‘FEFE’ that night. And then Nicki really fucks with me, so then she somehow got on it … She felt like I was co-signing 6ix9ine so she got on the record. And that shit went huge … No one expected for that song to get that big.” “FEFE” landed Tekashi 6ix9ine his first #1 spot on the Billboard on-demand streaming charts immediately following release.

Nicki Minaj has Retired

Say it ain’t so! Nicki Minaj announced her retirement of twelve years in the rap game today with a three-sentenced tweet.

Nicki Minaj has been a major force in hip-hop since her debut album, Pink Friday, hit the shelves in 2010. She has had multiple endorsement deals, TV producing credits, platinum selling-music, world-tours, and most recently, success with her podcast, Queen Radio. Though recently she has been in the spotlight for controversy more than music (i.e. this past summer showdown with Joe Budden), we hate to see her go.

For now, the next question is: Will she be back? I guess we will have to check her Twitter.
