I've been waiting for this. Yo Gotti is an underrated rapper from Memphis. His song "5 Star Chick" was a hit down south this summer. Now here's a video for the remix featuring Gucci Mane, Trina and Nicki Minaj. The beat's the thing, reminiscent as it is of Usher, Ludacris and Lil Jon's smash, "Yeah," from 2004 and Cadillac Don's little-known but much-awesome and often copied "Peanut and Jelly" from 2006. And Gotti's voice is enticingly gruff. But verse-wise, the ladies steal the show. Trina rhymes like she's got six dudes licking whip-cream off her toes, while Nicki Minaj (quelle scandale!) has an epiphany that her boyfriend needs to take her to Tiffany. It says "Fendi" on her slippers, she continues, and her, umm, "cookies" are always slippery. Good rhyming! Even if her "acting" in the video makes you think she just took a mime class. Which, of course, would never be a good idea.

Cadillac Don shout-out! Yes!
Does one rhyme well when six dudes are licking whip-cream off one's toes?
I would think so. I mean, that's pretty luxurious. I suppose it'd be hard not to laugh. Because of the ticklishness. But i'd think: yes. Studio engineers should arrange.
I dunno. I feel like six is a sexier number (it looks almost like "sex"!), but it seems like logistic-wise, you'd max out at about four guys licking anything off your toes, or just licking toes. Six would just be a lot of heads down there!
With four, I could see maybe having your legs spread pretty wide, two guys on each foot, one concentrating on Piggy-None and Wee-Wee-Wee-All-The-Way-Home, the other working Market and Stayed-Home, probably mostly steering clear of Roast Beef to avoid tongue-bumping (unless Trina is into that). And that might be nice, although, yeah, I'd be surprised if it didn't adversely affect one's ability to stay on point.
But unless, like, the other two dudes were waiting in the wings for a turn (and one, that seems like cheating; two, the verse just is not that long), I can't work out how to make six happen.
I appreciate your thinking on this, Moff. I guess, yes, what I was envisioning would involve taking turns. And 1) I suppose that might be cheating. But 2) she likely did numerous takes of her verse in recording. Still, I cede the point: let's say four dudes.
Also maybe one of the dudes should be a chick? But that's more an aesthetic preference and I'll just leave it to your discretion.
Oh good, because I think she does pretty well there. It was actually an honest question!
And Moff, you could get 6 pygmies, 5 guys with small heads, or 4 regular dudes. It's been scientifically proven.
Gotti puts Gucci on everything.
I think Plies' verse is for you, Dave.
