Don't bother reading that messy article. It stayed mentioning J.Lo more than anything. Here's the good parts IMO.

She has enough music out. I personally feel like the beginning of October would have been a great time to release the album. Anaconda has peaked, so I'm guessing there'll be yet another single released.

I'm going to need her to culminate all the verses that she has thrown out (i.e. No Flex Zone, Flawless (Remix), Danny Glover) and put out a song of her own with that much bite to it. She's turning into Fabolous and Lloyd Banks in the sense that she delivers everywhere else except on her own material.

She has some solid songs of her own but I'd say if we were to pick her 10 best verses, 9 of them would be from other people's songs.

That is her absolute best verse and one of my favourite 1 and a half minutes in music in the last 5 years.

Her verse on Monster, and everything surrounding it, is probably Hip-Hop's magnum opus this decade so far. Beyond incredible.
She built up such a strong resume with her features that it's hard not to view her solo career as somewhat of a disappointment, but then you have to remember that it isn't really an apt comparison. She is (and especially when she first came out) such a larger than life personality that she made an excellent foil for most to collaborate with.

She was able to carry solo songs a lot better on her mixtapes, for whatever reason. I still think Pink Friday is a great body of work.

She ATE "Monster". I'm not going to ignore PF. "Blazin", "Here I Am", "Romans Revenge"...

Blazin' is easily my favorite from her first album, but on the whole, its always been flat for the most part for me. Aside from B, Roman's Revenge, Did It On 'Em and Moment 4 Life, there isn't much that is noteworthy. It's always seemed to me that they didn't really know how to sell her to the mainstream pop audience (which wasn't a concern on her mixtapes) and that just wound up drenching the whole project in drums that were too thin and synthesizers that gave a lot of tracks a very dated, mid-80s feel.
I'm in the minority that very strongly preferred her second album, always considered that one to be a much better produced and executed effort, as well as far more entertaining. The sound was a lot more full and muscular, which fit her better. There were a few tracks that could have been cut from the second half, but by separating the rap and pop tracks, they maximized more potential imo.

I loved both of her albums! But I prefer PF:RR to PF
I just went through many of her older verses, and damn! I wish she made more songs like that!!! I cannot wait for this new song/album, as I need new Nicki to come and slay me once again!!!

The transition could have been better, but the Rap side totally dominated.

I liked about 4 songs on that album (Champion, Roman Reloaded, Come on a Cone and Right By Your Side) and the rest was either horrible (literally every single pop track except for Young Forever) or meh (the rest of the rap songs.) I thought that was a really disappointing album. 2011 and 2012 were probably her weakest years since 2007 in terms of quality output, imo.

Yeah I'd have probably cut Marilyn Monroe, Beautiful Sinner and (maybe) Pound The Alarm/Sex In The Lounge and added 2-3 more rap numbers to the beginning. Everything from the start through Champion was fantastic imo.

She definitely hit me left field with "Starships". So early in her career to make a move like that. I'm glad it worked out though(mainstream wise. It sucked some of the fans weren't here for it).

I love Marilyn Monroe, but I don't think it fit the album... still a pop gem though!!!

Let's forget the re-release. Fire on those tracks. It even gave her her highest rating out of the two albums she's done.

Freedom aside, I really liked the Re-Up tracks. High School and I Endorse These Strippers were my favorites.

High School is probably in my top 10 solo Nicki songs ever but the rest of the re-release seemed like it was too scattered, imo. I liked Up In Flames, HS and Hell Yeah but that was it.

The Re-Up to me is still her best body of work. Made me a fan.

The Boys was alright, kinda middle of the pack. I remember laughing when she tried to hype it up as some huge collaboration and it turned out to be Cassie . Why they launched with that and Freedom vs. High School and Hell Yeah is beyond me. The video for Va Va Voom should have probably stayed in the vault as well.

I thought The Boys was a hot ass mess. Although the Steebie line was great, the electro sound didn't work, Cassie's part was jarring and random and Nicki wasn't really on her A game lyrically.

The Boys is so catchy!! Those verses are hot and even those Cassie is literally queen of irrelevant her chorus was real cute. Definitely a good track, not first single material tho.
