Nicki Minaj drops her sophomore cd to platinum plus Pink Friday. This isn’t your typical Hip Hop by any means at all. I will give Nicki credit for TRYING because that is all she did was try! You can tell she had influence from being on the Brittney Spears tour because we had several pop/techno tracks on the cd. So we got tracks like Automatic, Beautiful Sinner, Starships, Whip it & Pound the Alarm all are wack and sorry attempts at being techno music. I give an A for effort but an F for finished product. There are numerous songs to avoid on this cd and I think a lot of fans are going to be like WTF Nicki really after they hear it. Roman Holiday good beat wasted on weak rhymes and her still showing she is a gimmick and not a rapper like everybody wants her to be. Fire Burns don’t know if they were playing in the studio or something but this song makes no sense at all. Come on a Cone Nicki trying to come hard comes off weak/wack whatever you want to say another tight beat wasted on this cd. Sex in the Lounge feat Lil Wayne & Bobby V I hoped would be something and it wasn’t Wayne gave a half ass’d set of bars and his female protégé followed suit. Shockingly Bobby V stole the show on this one his hooked outshined everybody on this song. There are several other trash tracks on here to many to keep mentioning so I will stop after this one Gun Shot feat Beenie Man I guess this is her attempt at her reggae side of music. It was a reggae mess Beenie Man on hard times and needed a check I think because there is no other reason to disrespect your music genre like this. Bob Marley go come from the dead and ask him why man why! Out of the 19 tracks I listened to there was 6 songs that I felt were good. The sad part about that is due to the guest appearance is the reason you will like the song. Nothing worst then having features and they outshine you ask Jeezy about that on TM103! First up is Champion feat Nas, Drake & Young Jeezy you already know Nas and Jeezy showed out and reminded everybody that Drake is average at best even Nicki outshined Drake on this one. Nicki did step her verbal game up on this track glad to see their maybe a glimmer of hope. I Am Your Leader feat Cam ‘Ron & Rick Ross the hook to this was wack and not need at all more of the gimmick shouting/loud talking and sounds cartoon like. No shock Rozay reminded you why he is the boss of Miami and Cam ‘Ron actually put some heat on wax and it’s been a while since he has done that. You forget Nicki is even on this song gets lost in the shuffle so sad. Beez in the Trap feat 2Chainz on this one Nicki finally outshines her guest on a track and if 2Chainz spits another wack set of bars like he did on this one I am going back to calling him Titty Boi. This had a nice beat and good overall set of bars from Nicki on this one. I am back and forth on Stupid Hoe it’s a 50/50 like or ok track to me. Clearing she is calling out Lil Kim and another female rappers on this one. Roman Reloaded feat Lil Wayne finally Weezy gave a nice set of bars on this track but the protégé did get him on this one. The beat on this track I think the best beat on the cd overall almost made me lose my lunch it’s so sick!
After listening to this cd Nicki still has a ways to go in the rap game with her skills and stop being a gimmick. Right now by her being the it girl, it really won’t matter in people’s eyes cause she has no competition at all. In my opinion she is average at best and could never touch Eve, Kim or Foxy when they was big and she really couldn’t spit with Shawna that wouldn’t even be a fair battle right there. She is better than Trina and Rah Digga and female rappers like that but they never were a big deal anyway. After listening to this cd a few times I gotta give it 2 out of 5 NICE TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
