After a sizzling Summer of rap releases, pop hits have dominated August thanks to Ariana Grande and Blood Orange, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t still a great showing from emcees this month. Mick Jenkins returned with two singles, new TDE signee (and former Verse of the Month winner) REASON dropped his single “Better Dayz,” KYLE released his Netflix film with the single “This Is My Moment,” and veteran Bun B subtly dropped off a project with guests like Run the Jewels, Big K.R.I.T., and T.I.
Aside from a truly awful album rollout involving supporting the highly controversial rapper 6ix9ine (who just plead guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor), and calling Travis Scott and his team “c***suckers” for taking the No. 1 Billboard spot, Nicki Minaj still had the best verse of the month, paying homage to Biggie and her NY roots on “Barbie Dreams.”
Calling out 50 Cent, Drake, Quavo, and a host of other rappers, Nicki Minaj raps about how they’ll never get with her no matter how hard they try, poking fun with skills from her early days as a battle rapper.

Nicki Minaj – “Barbie Dreams”
[Verse 1]
I’m lookin’ for a n***a to give some babies
A handful of Weezy, sprinkle of Dave East
Man, I ain’t got no type like Jxmmi and Swae Lee
But if he can’t fuck three times a night—peace!
I tried to fuck 50 for a powerful hour
But all that n***a wanna do is talk Power for hours
B-beat the pussy up, make sure it’s a K-O
Step your banks up like you’re movin’ that yayo
Somebody go and make sure Karrueche okay though
I heard she think I’m tryna give the coochie to Quavo
They always wanna beat it up, goon up the pussy
Man, maybe I should let him autotune up the pussy
All these Bow Wow Challenge n****s lyin’ and shit
Man, these Fetty Wap n****s stay eyein’ my shit
Drake worth a hundred milli, he always buyin’ me shit
But I don’t know if the pussy wet or if he cryin’ and shit
Meek still be in my DMs, I be havin’ to duck him
“I used to pray for times like this” face-ass when I fuck him
Man, Uzi is my baby, he ain’t takin’ a L
But he took it literally when I said “Go to hell!”
Used to fuck with Young Thug, I ain’t addressin’ this shit
C-caught him in my dressing room, stealin’ dresses and shit
I used to give this nigga with a lisp tests and shit
How you want the pu-thy? Can’t say your S’s and shit[Chorus]
Dreams of fuckin’ one of these little rappers
I’m just playin’, but I’m sayin’ (B-B-B-Barbie) x4[Verse 2]
I remember when I used to have a crush on Special Ed
Shoutout Desiigner ’cause he made it out of special ed
You wanna fuck me, you gotta give some special head
‘Cause this pussy have these n****s on some special meds
Like Mike Tyson he was bitin’ my shit
Talkin’ ’bout, “Yo, why you got these n****s fightin’ and shit?”
On the, on the real, I should make these n****s scrap for the pussy
Young M.A and Lady Luck, get the strap for this pussy, uh
And I woulda had Odell Beckham bangin’ the cake
‘Til I saw him hoppin’ out of cars dancin’ to Drake
I been a five-star bitch, man, word to Gotti
I’ma do that n***a Future dirty, word to Scottie
Had to cancel DJ Khaled, boy, we ain’t speakin’
Ain’t no fat n***a tellin’ me what he ain’t eatin’
YG and The Game with the hammer yellin’, “Gang! Gang!”
This ain’t what I meant when I said a gang bang
Tekashi want a ménage, I said “tre-way”
Curved him and went the Kim and Kanye way
Em, cop the Barbie Dreamhouse, then you can play the part
I ain’t tryna bust it open in the trailer park
