Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday

classic:

* Cassie in drag
* that moment at 0:49 where Nicki looks like she's really confused about what she was just rapping
* way this manages a strong lesbionic vibe DESPITE being called "The Boys"

dud:

* Cassie not in drag
* CGI blowdryers with wings fluttering around like fuckin Watto
* Nicki sitting in a...vehicle for whatever reason

The Boys manages to be everything Ball is not.

the video appears to have broken youtube

"cassie hi, take a seat... no of course i didnt forget you were coming! ha ha ha. uhhhhh i've got this... wait a sec... ok, plain swimsuit and er... a max headroom outfit. cool gotta rush have fun seeya"

love the video

can we talk about how "the boys" sounds like an explicit drake diss?

haha no it doesn't. unless you don't know what the word "explicit" means.

so tired of nicki doing a million variations on "my son" punchlines, which barely made sense in the first place.

You mad dusty, you a little dusty possum

what is this aaaahhhhhh what is this

i thought this song was a complete mess when i first heard it but it grows more and more appealing with every play (the boys that is)

the softly sung chorus with the cheesy guitar >>>>

Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up Tracklist
1. Up In Flames
2. Freedom
3. Hell Yeah
4. High School
5. I’m Legit
6. I Endorse These Strippers
7. The Boys Ft. Cassie
8. Va Va Voom

well, I don't think there's any doubt as to which of these is the most anticipated

hahahahaha

that's a pretty good Toby Keith tracklist

lol

this song is amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVzlx_5ZZqk

wtf how are you guys not flipping out over this track

cuz it's unremarkable

lmao some dude

Is it really? I mean I haven't been following Nicki much as of late but I can't remember anything else I've heard from her that sounds this mature. It's nice to know she can strip away the growls and snarls and monotone babbles and create something great w/o relying on all of these borderline-goofy affectations.

IMO the borderline-goofy affectations are what make her interesting/distinctive/worth listening to

it's like saying "oh man, listen to this amazing new Busta Rhymes track, he raps really slowly on it and doesn't roar like a dungeon dragon once"; who goes to Busta Rhymes for that?

dont know if that capability has really been so in doubt xxp

maybe i'm being harsh but it doesnt really code all that mature either, i mean everyone does a woes of fame/lonely me on the top braggin cut and they're p much just as plastic and exaggerated as the cartoon grr party stuff they go hand in hand with

Well sure, you can have your own signature things and all but there are different levels of specificity and after like 20 or so singles w/ signature things that are so specific it starts to get a bit "eh". I mean, I don't dislike her or anything, I just don't find it so compelling anymore, and it's nice when she can pull off something else so flawlessly.

I mean, musically flawless at least. xp yeah, it's not the freshest thing ever to do a woes of fame/lonely me track but I'd argue it's not nearly as plastic as the cartoon grr party stuff

on the flip side "We getting hotter and hotter, sexy and hotter" is the most laughably ridiculous nonsense I have heard in a v long time

also that song sounds exactly like that Taio Cruz one; who let any of that happen

this is so gonna crop up in a future nicki verse

and quite right too

basically making obama her personal translator

also YASSSSSSSSS

the re-up = a victory lap

all deluxe re-releases are victory laps, almost by definition. the original Roman Reloaded was pretty much a victory lap itself, though. she's just running in circles.

"i'm legit" is totally one of her best songs ever though imo

http://www.vevo.com/watch/nicki-minaj/freedom-explicit/USCMV1200166 omg looooooool

yeah uh...this isn't very good. Some really nice moments in the verses but that chorus just sucks the life out of the room. And video is ridic.

i am all about "i'm legit" and "i endorse these strippers"

it's criminal that there are three boi-1da beats on this album smfh

"Freedom" really is a contender for worst song of the year, opening couplet is "they never thank me for opening tours/ but they ain't even thank Jesus when he died in the cross"

Jesus died for somebody's percentage of the door, but not mine.

Post of the year.

OMG I endorse "I Endorse These Strippers"

"I Endorse These Strippers" is pretty wonderful. The rest of this...zzzzzzzzz

"i'm legit" is legit too.

ol girl starting to look a lil jocelyn wildenstein though.

her lines are getting mad repetitive

these bitches is my sons x29429824818811

who's the random cat at the end of "i endorse these strippers"

these bitches is my sons x29429824818811

i think you pointed this out a while ago and yeah, it's getting a little much

i complained about it itt when the o.g. album dropped but there's a song on The Reuploadedless with TWO of those lines in diff't verses

I like the line in general

these bithces is my somes dude

Reup = 2 for 7

i don't even fuck w/ "i endorse these strippers" that much... it could be so much better i.e. her verse on the 2 chainz album
