A few posts ago I said that I was 100% team Nicki, and yea I appreciate the freshness that she brings to the game; however she did not bring it with ‘Pink Friday.’ I wanted to hear Nicki spit crazy, deranged rhymes like she spits on ‘Roman’s Revenge,’ or even all the dope features that she has appeared on. ‘Pink Friday’ comes across as a sappy, pop infused record, with a bunch of singing from a Rapper.

I am not impressed and rather disappointed. As an artist I try to listen to all types of music and if I’m feeling something I will support it. I am a true music consumer, and have been collecting music for over 15 years. When Lil Kim came out with ‘Hardcore’ that shit was banging!! Every track rocked from beginning to end. She made a statement and stuck to it. With ‘Pink Friday,’ I don’t know who Nicki is?? It feels like she’s trying to be an R&B princess. However, I have given the CD a few listens and she does have some nice tracks that I like. Like ‘Blazin’ with Kanye West and the opener of the CD ‘I’m the Best.’ Even with the disappointment I still wish her well and much success. I hope to see her develop into a stronger and solid artist.
