Nicki Minaj - The Pink Print (2014)

Pink Floyd used Nazi Iconography as a metaphor to show someone becoming completely unhinged so I'm not sure that there's anything to criticize them for beyond the existence of the metaphor; it certainly isn't done in a manner that endorses the source material.

I haven't watched Nicki's video yet so I have no direct opinion on it aside from finding the image from the resulting conversation of her subverting a bowl of cereal funny.

Dan you should really watch it, it's kind of insane

okay a couple of things:

- this totally rips off Metalocolypse, the only thing missing is gratuitous gory violence
- this song is hot garbage from top to bottom

I find this commercial to be more insane than this lyric video:

i hope someone got promoted for thinking that up

i like that "it dies" wrt chia pets has gone from bug to feature

finally watched the video, woof

really worried about the album being another dud. at this point, i think it's fair to say that nicki just isn't an full-album artist but i will reserve full judgment until this drops

& that fact doesn't take away from the things about her that are really good

i wonder if the person who did this lyric video also did the "Anaconda" lyric video with the Mystery Science Theater 3000 homage at the end

i like "bed of lies" -- the only time i've ever enjoyed skylar grey, her part sounds... very 90s to me? like a jewel song or something?

also think this is one of the only times nicki has ever done an interesting confessional rap

I think because she is actually confessing something about her life her fans have been waiting for her to address for a while.

we've found a context in which Skylar Grey is a welcome presence, when the alternative is Nicki's warbling. if she sang it R&B radio might play it, though, now it's just for pop radio to ignore.

so lookin ass got massive attack'ed :/

hopefully there'll be a great 12 track album in there like with roman reloaded.

"lookin ass" was never intended for the album

two meek mill appearances :)

is that first one this k michelle offcut though? http://www.rap-up.com/2014/11/18/new-music-k-michelle-f-meek-mill-anybody-wanna-buy-a-heart/

(god imagine a nicki/k michelle collab tho)

based on that tracklist i'm holding out for maybe 6 good songs

lookin ass is probably too good for this album

glad that the feat. ariana song is with her rather than katy perry as initially rumoured

"Lookin Ass" was the "Roman in Moscow"/street single for this era. Don't know why anyone thought otherwise.

Eager for Roman in Shanghai

wasn't lookin ass on the (commercial) rich gang album? it has an album!

its on that young money comp that also has drake's "trophies"

cant believe lunch money is one of the features, so awesome

his video for 'loose change' has been up a full year and has 14 views lmao

oh i see its main release was on vimeo that makes more sense https://vimeo.com/40612980

"all things go" is actually pretty good http://www.stereogum.com/1722516/nicki-minaj-all-things-go/mp3s/

sounds like a less hokey version of "moment 4 life"

I like this.

sarge this was cool

ah thanks matt! it turned out to be a much more interesting story than i thought it would be when i started to look into it actually

so, if wikipedia is right, if you combine the standard edition tracklist of 16 songs with every the tracks on the 4 expanded editions (deluxe, itunes, target/uk, japan) there will be a total of 23 songs released off this record

so basically a double album's worth of tracks, gonna be a lot of alternate tracklistings floating out there

apparently the itunes edition contains a song called "truffle butter" featuring drake and wayne

if the production credits on wikipedia are to be believed yung berg produced 4 songs on the deluxe edition lol

i'll wait and see on that one

wiki also says mike will and pop & oak each have tracks to that's cool

xxpost not to mention all the songs she dropped earlier in the year pre-Pills & Potions

yung berg is a good producer

he is

and yet, this would be unusual

apparently the itunes edition contains a song called "truffle butter" featuring drake and wayne

i want that to be fake just because it would be such a worthy addition to the Big Hat Club canon

i still hold out hope for Big Hat Club

ah so this dropped

kinda hoped it would be a boy george cover :(

really like that

whole thing is out there apparently

three tracks in and i'm feeling the EXACT opposite to how i felt three tracks into roman reloaded
