Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Drake, Rihanna at Hammerstein Ballroom Concert, NYC [VIDEO]

Nicki Minaj, fresh off of the release of Pink Friday, teamed with Hot 97 to deliver a Thanksgiving evening treat to her hometown, appearing with Fabolous for a packed house at the Hammerstein Ballroom. While we couldn’t be there ourselves, many online sources have records of the evening, with RapRadar providing a thorough video collection from the night.

Nicki Minaj assuredly delighted her Barbies and Kens, but provided extra fuel for the musical fire by bringing out several A-listers on stage with her, most prominantly, Kanye West, Drake and Rihanna. Also appearing alongside Her Pinkness, Busta Rhymes and Keyshia Cole. Earlier, Fabolous devised a little surprise spark of his own with the appearance of Juelz Santana and Lloyd Banks.

The star-studded event went on into the early morning hours, but Nicki Minaj managed to stay in the hip hop news cycle today, as the full version of Lil’ Kim’s diss track began making the internet rounds.

Editor’s opinion: While Kim drops some good lines, her delivery was strangely laid-back, certainly not up to the energetic level of the “Simon Says” track she rocked to. It was too long, too drawn out and too lazy, vocally. We love us some Nicki (even though sometimes we catch heat for it), and we’ll always love the Queen, but as far as hip hop beefs go, we think Kim’s looking a little thirsty right now.

In any event, if you missed the big NYC show like we did, have a looksee at the videos courtesy of RapRadar.com.
