BBC Live Lounge performances of "THAT'S WHAT I WANT," "DEAD RIGHT NOW," and a cover of "Jolene": (he performed "MONTERO" as well, but it's not up on YouTube yet.)

I’m just here to express how f**king great this album is, again. Ugh.
I was listening to the first half over and over, and wasn’t able to fully engaged into the 2nd, and while just relaxing on my couch, I’ve just had it playing on my floors speakers, and it’s f**king awesome. Truly a great album. Who f**king knew, especially after his EP.
I honestly don’t know my favorite.

It's a bit of a reach that Nicki turned down Industry Baby, based on that tweet (unless there is more context I am missing). It's possible she didn't have time to write a verse or there were some other factors other than her outright rejecting the song.
Anyway, I am excited for the physical. Hope it comes soon.

Hope it comes soon. he revealed somewhere else (during the Breakfast Club interview I think) that he reached out to Nicki and Drake. Nicki didn't respond and Drake said he was busy getting his album ready.

Who knows why she didn't respond, which is, in part, my point.

I gotta say, I was not a fan of “Sun Goes Down” originally but now after hearing the album along with the other tracks, I love it. The album really helps it shine.
PS - we kinda know why she didn’t respond, she didn’t want to be on it for whatever reason. Or she would have responded and said something along the lines of, thank you but I can’t right now…

Honestly, I’m not sure I’d want a LNX/Nicki collab. I realized probably within the last year (pre-vaccine contro but still late in the game) that Nicki kind of takes the fun out of stanning her. Her albums got better more or less with each release but with the arrival of each new female rapper, Cardi, Doja, Megan, others, who all seem keen to exist alongside each other while Nicki grows more bitter and seemingly insecure - and mixed up with pedophiles and rapists and whoever. Of course my perspective may be totally off based off of who knows what but I don’t think a collab would be as fun as it could have been.

I can see a Nas X/Drake, Nas X/Nicki collab. He's good at marketing so I can see him creating a fake Twitter argument with Nicki , and then him announcing a single with her🤣

Drake narrowly beats him in the UK, where MONTERO debuts at #2. Fewer than 500 units separate the two.
on the singles front:
#3 - INDUSTRY BABY (new peak, up from #9) #10 - THAT'S WHAT I WANT (debut) #16 - MONTERO (up from #63, peaked at #1)

It probably explains the Nicki line in the song, he probably wrote it with her partially in mind though I can't say would've preferred her over Jack. All these social networks and computers got these pussies walkin' round like they ain't losers is still a banger of a line

God damn it, Lost in the Citadel is so fucking good - like, it should be the album's biggest hit. It also reminds me of something, either another song or a general sound from an album that I can't quite put my finger on, but whatever it is, I love it.
