After listening to Nicki's first two albums I found myself wishing I had a tenth of her bravado. When I listened to The Pinkprint, though, I wanted to give her a hug.

She's one of the most talented musical artists of our time, I love this, thanks!

I liked it. The film and lyrics are pretty heavy-handed, but I suppose that is deliberate, and they do work together. I wish more popular artists would work even a little bit outside of the box like this, doing something more interesting than the usual radio-ready song plus video.

The only real good song I like from Nicki Minaj is I Am Your Leader ft. Cam'Ron & Rick Ross. She was also ok on Tapout but that was because of the beat, lyrically she was not strong on it. Since I cannot predict the future I would have to wait and see what it looks like. Busy now, watch it later!
