Nicki Minaj stopped by the Inside The NBA set following TNT’s Thursday night double header to promote her new album, The Pinkprint. After a brief listening session, co-host Kenny Smith kicked off an Inside cypher, involving the four hosts and their guest. After Kenny spit his lines, he passed the mic off to Grant Hill (filling in for a very disappointed Charles Barkley), who — in the least hip-hop moment of all time — proceeded to whip out a lyric sheet. Then it was Shaq’s turn, followed by Minaj. Finally, Ernie Johnson spit a few lines and — in the most hip-hop moment ever — dropped the mic to finish off the whole session.
