Young M.A Isn’t Pressured By "OOOUUU" Success: "[It’s] A Classic"

She said no other song she releases will have the same impact as "OOOUUU."

It wasn't like Young M.A wasn't working hard at her rap career prior to her 2016 hit "OOOUUU," but that song definitely made the world pay attention. Artists whose introductions are as monumental as "OOOUUU" was for the New York rapper often have difficulty keeping on track with the upward momentum. Some rappers continuously chase the success of their first hit, but for Young M.A, she's not trying to compare her present with her past.

The Herstory in the Making artist recently stopped by the Trick & Trina Morning Show and was asked if she feels pressured trying to live up to the success of "OOOUUU." To begin, Young M.A said that she's "tired of this damn question." She admitted that there was a time when she did, but it's so long ago that it's not something that bothers her today.

"'OOOUUU' is a classic, you can't take away a classic," she said of her single. "This was my first introduction to the game. People ain't know if I was a girl or a boy, like, this record came with so much more than it being a record. It came as an introduction of who I am," even though she already generated a buzz in the underground scene.

"You can't compare that because now people know who I am from that record," she added. "At one point, yeah, of course [I felt pressure], because you come into the game unaware of things, unaware of how things work. You learn as you go. So, now, I'm at a space in my life where I know for a fact that record is always gon' stand out on its own. Even if I had another record that overpowered that, like streams, anything, that record is always gonna be known." Watch Young M.A talk about her first big hit below and jam to "OOOUUU" one more time.

K. Michelle Responds To Uncle Murda’s Diss: "That’s Clown Sh*t To Me"

She said he's never even met him.

After months of speculation, the Trick & Trina Morning Show is live. We may not receive a joint project from these two, but the longtime friends and collaborators are now radio co-hosts. One of their first guests was singer K. Michelle who was asked her opinion of rapper Uncle Murda's recently released "Rap Up 2019" single.

At the end of every year, Uncle Murder drops a track that sums up the year's greatest controversies. K. found herself included after Unc shared his displeasure with her comments regarding being happy about Tekashi 6ix9ine's release. Murda called her a few names and rapped about her vagina, and in an interview with Hot 97, he explained why he went at her so hard.

"I thought that was kind of wack when I saw her do that this time around," he said. "She was just like, 'He didn't snitch on me, I'm happy he's comin' home,' stuff like that. It was kind of weak. I actually know people that's locked up over the corny sh*t Tekashi did. Me and her don't really like each other anyway. It's my fault. I'm not going to sit here and act like she did."

Meanwhile, K. Michelle offered up her side of things with Miami rap icons Trick and Trina. "He's never met me one day," the singer said. "Never met. Never been in the same room. Nothing. Some stuff's just not gangsta. I don't entertain it. It's like, he'll do it every year, whatever kick he gets off of it or whatever, but I know for a fact what it is. He never met me." Trick Daddy said women and children are off-limits. 

"Just pickin' on a black woman for no reason who you don't know anything about just so you can get clicks and you've said it before and then say, 'I'll sleep with her though.' Like, that type of thing, that's clown sh*t to me. So Imma let you continue to be a clown and I'm just a woman out here making a lotta money."

Trina added that men get mad when they see a woman in power. "No eff boys in 2020," Trina said. Then K. shadily replied, "Who still waiting on a record deal." Listen to "Rap Up 2019" about and watch K. Michelle's clip below.
