In recent years, Nicki Minaj was one of the most interesting voices in hip-hop. She gave birth to a flow of song flight or song verses guests savings, a mixtape of dynamite (Beam me up Scotty) and another, as good (World Barbie) unofficial, and usually shows arrogance, unpredictability and ferocity, not to mention a female MC for years. Regardless, however, is its highly anticipated debut album, Pink Friday.
Minaj turned many heads coming out of the door, as a highly secure, powerful MC in one of many disguises, she chose to live. It was most often bracketed with Lil 'Kim, but these comparisons are more about image and sexuality than his music, at its best, is Minaj TRIMs much closer to liberal, free-A-Net work Missy Elliott. It shows a wide range of talents, stuffing his verse with complex internal rhymes, changes in the character and agile voice, and twisted, distorted word games. Avoid easy categorization of mixtapes and guest verses have Minaj Thurs coquette, the plant, the woman, the diva, the rapper's rapper, the Fembot, and actor. Rihanna as she posed on Batsh awesome "Saxon", played Harajuku Barbie "Beam me up Scotty" and shape change in the mode of battle rapper "Itty Bitty Piggy".
And when he plays fast and loose with his past, his tendency to slide down the number of characters does not work in a creative ex-boy rapper theater instead of a myth.
And then the debut single from the mainstream, militaristic beat of "Massive Attack" stiffed - unless the card U.S. pop, or rap charts. A few months later, Annie Lennox-sampling hip-hop ballad "Your Love" - a track he recorded a couple of years ago, probably as a demo - was accidentally hit, rising to leakage from the radio. And now the woman was Kanye West's "Monster" for his all-star cohorts spends most of his solo debut, singing the rap, instead relying on recognizable samples 1980s/90s often banal, and facing a series of midtempo tracks that are required to bend a string choir led so popular in R & B these days. In short: the sound of hip-hop more unpredictable, decided he wanted to be like everyone else. Fortunately, even if it is a goal in the street, is at least better than anyone else.
Minaj praised for its depth of expertise, but this album is not about to show a range of talents - they are based on those who worked in the market. Strangely, it leaves the door run the most aggressive and most successful album of the track to cheer Swizz Beatz production clicking "Roman Revenge", which you are tempted to try several times to get through it, even knowing that it contains its re-Eminem Shady persona to-99. The production in Bangladesh "Did It on 'Em" is the best track plate, one of the few moments Minaj is toe to toe with a huge hit. Minaj is overshadowed by Drake and Kanye West on "Moment 4 Life" and "Blazin '", respectively, but these tracks - over Rihanna collaboration "Fly" and the solo ballad "Save Me" - are the best examples of what Pink Friday Instead of what many of us wanted it to.
The quartet of songs is proof that even with trade concessions Minaj can beat a great pop record, but with a single anemic as "Check It Out" and "right through me" never would be.
The gap between public Minaj character and his music here reminds me of the criticism lies at the foot of Lady Gaga - that for all his name down high culture, art, clothing and videos big event, the music rarely reflects Gaga the full spectrum of its conceptual constructions. The appearance has certainly stylistically vague Gaga American Top female stars. Parallel to the emergence of Minaj and Britney Spears, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and even the usually conservative Beyonce had the license to be more flashy and beautiful cartoon. In most cases, but their music is in line with current fashion, instead of putting it. (That said, the artist here nearly in line with the top 40 today, Rihanna is also the most consistently excellent, while it is Britney Spears, the most to forge his own path, which is irrevocable terrible .
The slope here is because of the label, but a song like "good old Nicki" reads almost like a defense of what he did on this record, and even more disappointing that the current record. (Perhaps not surprisingly, the four bonus tracks, spread over different versions of the LP are the rap songs, two of them - "Blow Ya Mind" and "Muny" -. These are some of the best songs on the album) a letter your "old" unbalanced person more agitated, apologies Minaj decisions made on this subject for the money it takes to do so. "You were underground, j" I was dominant / I live life now, the dream, "Minaj R & B star talks about his most creative self. Is a song about deflation, despite being a good pop record is a depressing album Nicki Minaj.
) Is almost as if this generation of pop starlets just playing outsized personalities on the awards, photo shoots and videos, but stay in a comfort zone asleep on the record. Seeing Minaj fall in this track is extremely disappointing.
