I'm surprised nobody's said anything about Grand Piano. Wow, it's completely different than anything she's ever done. I never would've expected a piano driven ballad of her singing! Overall, I'd say my favorite on the album is The Night is Still Young. I agree it needs to be a single! The chorus of Get on Your Knees is really catchy (granted the rap verses are are a little too dirty, haha). And I already loved Bed of Lies of course!
Overall, I'd compare it to PF:RR. It's pretty split between the poppier and rap stuff.

I think next album Nicki should just do a J.Cole because from what I'm seeing on message boards her pre album descriptions over the last year slightly had some fans thinking the album was going to be something different than it is. Also that would allow her to not have the pop or hip hop jargon all the Time

"Buy A Heart" sounds a demo, ugh. I expected her to give something fresh to it. I'll stick with K Michelle version. Anyway, the snippets were strong. I have listened to "Get On Your Knees" and "Feeling Myself", which I like both, the former more so than the latter though.

It is being reported that some of the deluxe editions of the album have an instrumental version of "Anaconda" instead of the regular album or even single version.

I am currently obsessed with "Grand Piano". I love it when Onika slays them vocals!

By far the best album of her career.
My only complaints are
1. Her flow is so damn tired. She literally has like 3 or 4 flows that she uses, and it sounds like she's doing the same verses over and over again. I literally chuckled at that "on my 4th flow" line on the Beyonce collabo. 2. Her albums are always too damn long. This album would be so much better if she cut about four or 5 songs (preferably some of these sappier songs she recorded after the breakup with SB.)
Her [studio] singing voice has gotten a lot better. I really like "Grand Piano." If she wrote it, she should have sold it to one of these pop girls. Somebody who can actually sing would have killed it. Looking forward to the YouTube covers that are sure to come.
Her single choices have been pretty shitty so far. "Get On Your Knees" and "The Night Is Still Young" are both commercial smashes. Then she has all kind of urban hits: "Feeling Myself," "Want Some More," and "Buy A Heart."

How many flows is she supposed to have? 20? .
Her number of flows are fine. Most rappers have less.

"Get On Your Knees," "Feeling Myself" and "The Night is Still Young" should be future singles.

Dual release The Night Is Still Young and Feeling Myself then follow up with Get On Your Knees for all the genres.

Let me clarify. She raps the same 3 MELODIES. There IS something wrong with that. And it is something she really recently started doing. It's lazy, rushed, and uninspired.

I haven't finished the album yet but I will say I VASTLY prefer Nicki, the rapper over Nicki, the singer.
