when i heard nicki minaj was coming out with a new album,
one inspired by jay’s “the blueprint”,
i will admit i was pretty excited.
i enjoyed that whole blueprint movement,
and it serves a lot of memories from high school,
so i KNEW nicki minaj was about to deliver.
she immediately dropped singles to prepare us for this new era.
“lookin’ ass pineapple” and “boss ass bitch” i was feelin’ type heavy.
she is spittin’.
thank god.
when she rapped on the lackluster “anaconda”,
i was scratching my head with the sour face.
even though i loved “pills and potions”,
i was really eh for “bed of lies”.
my hype for this album kinda went out the window.
one of my readers sent me the album to review and well…

i.
am.
feelin.
this.
album.
HEAVVVVVYYYYY.
…BUT i do have some critiques.
the one thing that irks me about this album is the constant “whitney-ing”.
she replaced her nauseating pop tracks,
if you count “the night is still young”,
with now “that pineapple hurt my soul” caterwauling.
like…
i can do without “i lied”,
“grand piano”,
“bed of lies”,
and “mona lisa”.
now what i love…
she came with some big features like beyonce and ariana grade tho.
while “feelin myself” with beyonce is catchy as hell,
i actually prefer “get on your knees” with ariana grande.
nicki got ariana out here talmbout getting her pussy eaten.
i like a wolf on his knees so we all have something in common there.
my other favorites are:

“the crying game”
“buy a heart” feat. meek
“only” feat. drake, wayne, and breezy
four door aventador”
“favorite” feat. jeremih
“trini den girls”
“big daddy” feat. meek
“shanghai” <—- on fleek!!!!

funny enough i actually like “anaconda” and “bed of lies” as the album plays.
they definitely shouldn’t have been singles to sell this album.
again: who are her people?

while nothing has come close to “pink friday”,
and “roman reloaded” will remain a disaster we will try to forget,
“the pinkprint” is actually pretty solid.
plus she is spittin’ more.
thank god.
its not a classic album as “the blueprint” since there is no:

“takeover”
“u don’t know”
“girls girls girls”
“heart of the city”
“song cry”
“all i need”
“renegade”
“people be talkin”

…she did come back to why the fuck we fell in love with her.
her.
 mic.
spittin’
cocky bravada.
metaphor raps.
no rainbow wigs or halloween costumes.
thank god.
i would give her my money with this one.
its better than “that new classic” that designer imposter got out.
