Nicki Minaj x Kanye West: ART is the Operative Word

**UPDATE** Brought back to the top because... We now know who (at least) shot the photo for the cover for Nicki, but... Remaining is the question: Did this guy ALSO 'design' the cover itself?

As of now, both Nicki Minaj's 1st and Kanye West's 5th studio albums are set to drop November 22, 2010. (But we all know how that goes...)

No matter what, when you discuss the artists and their releases, ART is/will be the operative word. Their music (their art) is crazy; their actions (performance art?) are crazy; and their album artwork (art, duh) is, well, crazy. (And, in most cases, we mean 'crazy good'...)

Hip Hop wins.

FIRE: French Montana - "We Run NY" (ft. Fat Joe; prod. Harry Fraud) - FREE AUDIO

"It's that Joe Crack, AG, Diggin Crates /
It's that Bad Boy, 9-6, Biggie Mase..."



Funkmaster Flex broke the record on his Hot 97 show yesterday.



Today, the full version dropped with Fat Joe.



And just like that, before the summer's over, New York's got the NEW "New York Minute", the NEW "Empire State of Mind".



Turns out, some of you prefer the original Fat Joe-less version, so...



We got both here:

1) French Montana - "We Run NY" (prod. Harry Fraud)
2) French Montanan - "We Run NY" (ft. Fat Joe; prod. Harry Fraud)

Oh yeah, and just to make yall jealous, I got to hear this BEFORE Flex did.
