Nicki Minaj Links Up With Lil Uzi Vert On 'The Way Life Goes'
The Queen of Rap jumps on the official remix of Uzi's new single...
Another Friday, another new Nicki track.
Last week Nicki Minaj referenced Lil Uzi Vert in her insane verse on 'Motor Sport', the major collaboration with Cardi B and Migos, and this week she's featured on Lil Uzi's latest single.
'The Way Life Goes' is the super chill follow-up to Uzi's massive single 'XO TOUR Llif3' and it gets an added touch of magic with Queen Nicki's official remix.

The rap queen rides the beat so smoothly on the hopeful track, with a flow reminiscent of her earlier material on mixtapes and her debut album Pink Friday.
'The Way Life Goes' is the second time Uzi and Minaj and collaborated, after they both featured on Meek Mill's 'Froze'.
When asked if there will be a music video for the remix during an impromptu Twitter Q&A, she confirmed there will be (!) with a simple thumbs up emoji. Queen.
'The Way Life Goes' is taken from Uzi's debut album Luv Is Rage 2, which is getting its physical release with 4 bonus tracks on November 17 after initially being released as a digital-only in August.
Its lead single 'XO Tour Llif3' reached Number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is 4x platinum in the U.S. and we reckon this remix is his next massive hit.

Ayy
(Countin' them bands all way to the top, 'til they be fallin' over)
(Countin' them bands, on my way to the top, 'til we fallin' over)
I don't really care if you cry
On the real, you should've never lied
Should've saw the way she looked me in my eyes
She said, "Baby, I am not afraid to die"
Push me to the edge, all my friends are dead
Push me to the edge, all my friends are dead
Push me to the edge, all my friends are dead
Push me to the edge
Phantom that's all red, inside all white
Like something you ride a sled down, I just want that head
My Brittany got mad, I'm barely her man now
Everybody got the same swag now, watch the way that I tear it down
Stackin' my bands all the way to the top the way 'til my bands fallin' over
Every time that you leave your spot, your girlfriend call me like, "Come on over"
I like the way that she treat me, gon' leave you, won't leave me, I call it that Casanova
She say I'm insane, yeah I might blow my brain out
(Hey) Xanny help the pain, yeah, please, Xanny make it go away
I'm committed, not addicted, but it keep control of me
All the pain, now I can't feel it, I swear that it's slowin' me, yuh
I don't really care if you cry
On the real, you should've never lied
Saw the way she looked me in my eyes
She said, "I am not afraid to die" (Go)
All my friends are dead, push me to the edge
All my friends are dead, yuh, push me to the edge
All my friends are dead, yuh, all my friends are dead, yuh
That is not your swag, I swear you fake hard
Now these niggas wanna take my cadence
Rain on 'em, thunderstorm, rain on 'em
Medicine, lil' nigga take some
Fast car, Nascar, race on 'em
In the club, ain't got no ones, then we would become
Clothes from overseas, got the racks and they all C-Notes
You is not a G, though
Lookin' at you stackin' all your money, it all green though
I was countin' that and these all twenties, that's a G-roll
She say, "You're the worst; you're the worst"
I cannot die because this my universe
I don't really care if you cry
On the real, you should've never lied
Should've saw the way she looked me in my eyes
She said, "Baby I am not afraid to die"
Push me to the edge, all my friends are dead
Push me to the edge, all my friends are dead
Push me to the edge, all my friends are dead
Push me to the edge
