Nicki Minaj Recruits Lil Wayne For Her "High School" Music Video

posted in: Music News

In the years since she first graced the charts, Nicki Minaj has transformed from a streetwise lyricist into an all-out pop diva (who only sings part of the time). Her latest single and video, “High School,” looks to help maintain her reign on the charts, and something tells us it will probably work.

You never really know what to expect when a new Nicki Minaj arrives. Her singles catalog ranges from heartfelt ballads to bombastic rap anthems flooded with her multiple rapping personalities and glitchy studio effects, “High School” falls somewhere in the middle. It’s a soft track, intended to convey feelings of forlorn love, but the verses keep prove Nicki and guest vocalist Lil Wayne have kept their rhyme game tight since the last we heard from them. This middle of the road approach should help Nicki appeal to all side of her fan base, which in turn could propel “High School” toward the top of Billboard. Listen and decide for yourself, after the jump.
