Can't get enough of Nicki Minaj and will.i.am's collab on "Check It Out"? Well, we got you covered! The two teamed up this past weekend on the futuristic music video for the single from Nicki's upcoming album, Pink Friday, which drops on November 23rd.  MTV and Dipdive were on the set for exclusive interviews.

will.i.am had this to say this about seeing Nicki before their collaboration, "This girl is like the bomb... she's like Atom Bomb."

Nicki says "I'd get up every morning, go outside and ask the Lord for will.i.am to drop out of the sky..."  She professes being a huge will.i.am fan and being excited to work with him, "will is the only producer that produced me.  He was sitting there and he made the beat on the spot."

Nicki and will explain to MTV that the video is "like an ode to Japanese culture and anime" and that we can expect to see "a bunch of flyness as far as the outfits".

will shared this motivation with Dipdive about his style and music: "Try to remember what it was like when your mom and dad said, you can go outside and play. That's what it feels like when I express myself..."

He also dropped some news about the upcoming Black Eyed Peas album, The Beginning, scheduled for November 30th!
