Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday

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

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?

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

roman in moscow
roman holiday
come on a cone
i am your leader
beez in the trap
stupid hoe
hov lane
pound the alarm
va va voom
roman reloaded
champion
gun shots

THERE, 12 TRACKS, THAT IS ALBUM LENGTH AND WOULD HAVE BEEN SO AMAZING

"whip it" and "automatic" are my two favorites of the pop stuff, i guess

"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

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.

Kill that dude IMO.

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

"christopher bosh" is such a lol and hardbody punchline

somebody please surgically remove weezy from roman reloaded

anyone with a molecule

excelsior

roman in moscow
roman holiday
come on a cone
i am your leader
beez in the trap
stupid hoe
hov lane
pound the alarm
va va voom
roman reloaded
champion
gun shots

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

every song with "roman" in the title can fuck off imo

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

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.

cant stand the chorus personally :/

still diggin beez in the trap

"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

yeah the beat is what makes it

I dunno who 2 chains are tho

i was gonna do that, but u beat me to 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.

The fact that she couldnt even get a jay-z cameo for a song called Hov Lane

wait wait people are saying it's THE best song on the album? yikes

The fact that she couldnt even get a jay-z cameo for a song called Hov Lane

thankful for this

The Nicki/Cam/Ross suckadick song is the best one whatever it's called

I Am Your Leader.

Caramanica wrote a piece on nicki for the nyt

is it good? what does it say?

it's caramanica so i assume it's not good

oh lex stfu

don'tcha just love how people who spend half their time snarking on artists or writers or whatever suddenly get pissy when someone snarks on someone they like

don'tcha

in the end, it all comes back to PCD

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.

we all know what you're proud to not hear and not read. i think i'd like to take up my own not-experiencing-things diet starting with those types of lex posts.

why would i be interested to read something by someone who's never written anything i've enjoyed reading?

idk, you read ilx threads

it's not as though deej provided a particularly compelling explanation of why we should read it

deej has a weird thing about giving us a heads up anytime caramanica or nabisco publishes anything, idgi but that's neither here nor there

i like the inadvertent trolling of azealia banks by spending multiple paragraphs talking about how she follows in the footsteps of minaj
