luda albums seems like a pretty accurate point of comparison

i don't know. i mean i don't have much to say that hasn't been said already. everything up until "champion" is hype as fuck and after that it's all TUPAC PLEASE TALK TO THIS SUCKER CUZ THEY'RE RUINING HIP HOP shit

the first 17 seconds of "beautiful sinner" are incredible, shame about the rest really... but that's probably the best one out of that whole stretch of songs.

nicki may well outsell missy, lauryn, kim, etc. within a few years but that def hasn't happened yet
― Eisbaerg Slim (some dude), Friday, 30 March 2012 16:26 (1 year ago) Permalink
some of the pop stuff on here is so bad that it actually makes me appreciate "starships" (which listening to it more is basically an amalgamation of "california gurls" and "til the world ends")

nicki accidentally emailed "whip it" to birdman instead of the creative director for the mario kart wii sequel, right?
― J0rdan S., Friday, 30 March 2012 16:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
also kinda disappointed that "hov lane" doesn't turn into the throwback 99 cash money track that it threatens to be in the first three seconds

also this is sorta nitpicking cuz i do think the rap tracks at the beginning (save "champion" are great) but this reminds me of the ross tape from this year where it feels like the person is really at the top of their game and in a perfect and very singular place with their sound and then they throw half the verses at guest rappers.
i mean, i like ross & cam on "i am your leader" but i need three verse from nicki on that

i realise how nerdy "alternative track listings" are but this album begs for it

"whip it" and "automatic" are my two favorites of the pop stuff, i guess
― J0rdan S., Friday, 30 March 2012 17:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
"Come on a Cone" is fabulous. I've been playing for the kids all morning.

i love the finality with which she sings "SUCK A BIG DICK" on the "i am your leader" hook
― lex pretend, Friday, 30 March 2012 17:26 (1 year ago) Permalink
six people in my office turned around when she sang that hook

then the associate dean of the journalism walked in and said, "Hey guys! What's goin' on?" and I said we were discussing the newly leaked Minaj album.
"Do you think she's talented?" His lips curled as if to suggest the answer was obvious to anyone with a molecule.
"I love her flow and jokes," one of the students said.
"It's not because she's 'controversial' [SCARE QUOTES]? I dunno. It's a dead genre. It needs a new wave."
I said, "Do you want new wave or do you want the truth?" He didn't get the remark and changed the subject.

I trust Lex on this so I am going to only obtain the tracks he lists above and order them accordingly.

add starships (daleplay remix) between pound the alarm + va va voom, and yes this is the perfect tracklist

also lol at "beez in the trap" apparently being in the amazing unimpeachable half of the album, maybe i don't need to hear this
― Eisbaerg Slim (some dude), Saturday, 31 March 2012 03:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
the track she did at the grammy's sounds muuuuuch better on the album... really cool drums and she pulls off the chorus really well. it's prob one of the best few songs on the album.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 31 March 2012 03:18 (1 year ago) Permalink
cant stand the chorus personally :/

still diggin beez in the trap
― dayo, Saturday, 31 March 2012 03:23 (1 year ago) Permalink
"beez in the trap" kinda grew on me... it's being overrated as the best song on the album but the beat is pretty hot
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 31 March 2012 03:24 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah the beat is what makes it

like a really good album would be like the the 3 good songs from Pink Friday, 8 good songs from this, then like "Itty Piggy," "Beam Me Up" and that all-Nicki mix of "Monster" that someone made.

lex hadn't you like not even heard of caramanica until he wrote positively of drake a year ago or something? if you're gonna not know shit then just not know shit and shut up about it.

um, you are incorrect.

there are several writers whose thoughts on nicki minaj i'd be very interested to read, caramanica is certainly not one of them.
