In contrast with her previous records, fans may surprisedThis is a smart record that has a lot to say and gives listener a reason to hear it. In contrast with her previous records, fans may surprised by what they find. She experimentally plays a different style and direction lead to diversity of this album. Every single one of the tracks sounds promising and good that this plays like a 'Greatest Hits' package.
   
   The best of the best is Pills n Potions, a slow piano ballad which proved her credibility in delivery both pop and hip hop. Her writing successfully portrayed her true expression, emotion and turn this song into a work of art. Besides, Anaconda, her novelty smash brings genius lyrics with irresistible beats that will be quoted for years to come.
   
   There are some classic tracks here including I Lied and All Thing Go that we got to hear them at their best. Overall, this will be her best work to date but there's a lot of rooms to explore in producing a very cohesive and solid album. To sum up, the album is a notch away from what the fans expect but it's a step towards the singer attracting new fans and without a doubt she made it successfully.… Expand

She incorporates her fierce and edgy flow into a classic album that will be the Blueprint for future female rappers to come. Her twist on hip hop is as dominant as it has ever been with stellar songs like "Four Door Aventador" and "Win Again." In "Feeling Myself" with Beyonce both of their distinct innovative styles to clash to create a sure Top 5 (if not number 1) hit. Nicki Minaj has proved with this album that she is someone who lives just the same as the rest of us through her touching stories of untrust and heartbreak. This is album is worth the buy and definitely worth the wait. Nicki Minaj has proved that she IS the Queen of Hip Hop.… Expand

   When it comes to Onika Tanya Maraj, better known by her stage name, Nicki Minaj, there's always controversy. Earning herself public attentionWhen it comes to Onika Tanya Maraj, better known by her stage name, Nicki Minaj, there's always controversy. Earning herself public attention after releasing three mix-tapes between 2007-09, Minaj signed a contract with Young Money Entertainment shortly after. Her debut studio album was Pink Friday (2010), which quickly peaked at number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 200. Whether it be her outrages outfits, or her bold lyrics, the Trinidadian-born American rapper and songwriter is no stranger to criticism. However, with the release of her 2014 album, The PinkPrint, Minaj has really silenced the haters.
   The PinkPrint is clearly Nicki's most creative album, containing songs that make listeners feel every type of emotion. One of her most notable singles ever, “Anaconda,” is featured on this album and is highly praised. Minaj really gets back to her hip-hop roots with this single, and she brings back a side of her that many fans missed. A lesser-known party song included on this album, “Trini Dem Girls”, incorporates a Caribbean styled-groove, and is truly a banger. Minaj also features other legendary rappers on this album like Drake and Lil Wayne in her songs “Truffle Butter” and “Only”. “Pills N Potions” is a slow song featured on the album, it's emotional and personal, a fresh new twist guaranteed to please any fan, and make them feel connected to Minaj herself. However, had this album included 12 songs as opposed to 22, it could have had a much bigger impact and perhaps even have became a classic. Despite this minor flaw, though, The PinkPrint is truly a masterpiece, and the queen of rap has really outdone herself this time.
   Overall, I would rate this album a 9. Minaj has shown tremendous growth as a rapper , her performance was much better in this album then in Pink Friday and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. With more meaningful lyrics, a more diverse range of songs and styles, The PinkPrint is sure to have something for every listener.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Miss Minaj is back, and she is back with change at heart. Her fans may have noticed some changes in her appearance, the natural and more stripped back look giving an insight into what might be coming around the corner, and here it is. If you were to define The Pinkprint into a short sentence, it would be 'an album that is ultimately a Nicki Minaj album'. Whereas Roman Reloaded saw her embrace a more pop infused sound that may have scared listeners, The Pinkprint incorporates different sounds that are both personal, powerful, and triumphant.
   
   All Things Go - The albums most heaviest hitting song. She talks about her abortion, her family, the death of her cousin, all in one song. The majority of artists would spread such touchy topics across an entire album, but if you think Nicki confines herself to the typicality of these artists, think again. [7/10]
   
   I Lied - The female rap goddess exhibits amazing vocals on this track, only furthered by the spellbinding live performance she gave of this track on her Pinkprint Tour. A very different twist on Nicki's artistry. [7/10]
   
   The Crying Game - A perfect candidate for a first single that was neglected by the artist who delivered it so beautifully. Definitely one of the highlights of the album, an emotional, hip-hop oriented ballad that haunts a listener to their very core. [9/10]
   
   Get On Your Knees - The sexually explicit side of Nicki makes itself apparent, but this is smooth, slick and sexy, and Miss Grande's vocal ability assists Nicki's audacious style perfectly. [7/10]
   
   Feeling Myself - The collaboration we've all been waiting for. The Queen of Rap and the Empress herself exert their authority and self pride on this excellently uplifting track. Nearly spanning 4 minutes, we wish it were longer (a collab album ladies). [9/10]
   
   Only - Nicki's verse is okay, and then Drake bores himself into yet another collaboration and Lil Wayne struggles to keep up with Drake, who even struggles to keep up with Nicki himself. [6/10]
   
   Want Some More - The albums first definitive hip-hop/rap score. Nicki zig-zags around constantly, her rapping as ferocious and as powerful as it was on 'Romans Revenge'. She consolidates her stance on the throne with this excellent number. [8/10]
   
   Four Door Aventador - Rap royalty inside an expensive car. This is one of the album's many highlights, one that is extremely underrated. [8/10]
   
   Favorite - A ferocious collaboration with Jeremih that shows the hip-hop/rap segment of the standard edition album drawing to a close with a bang. Nicki's vocals compliment her co-star's perfectly, and her rapping is on par as always. [7/10]
   
   Buy A Heart - The lovebirds now begin to rap at each other, in between soft lulls on Nicki's behalf. A good song, if a bit misplaced between the hip-hop of the last three songs and the crazed hysteria of the next three. [6/10]
   
   Trini Dem Girls - Roman Reloaded Nicki comes into full flex, only this time she is more tamed, with Roman still locked up at the 2012 Grammy Awards. A song that could have been a success, with the right promotion, yet it proves itself to be an electrifying banger nonetheless. [7/10]
   
   Anaconda - The controversial reptile of the pop culture wilderness. This is nothing like her other major singles such as Superbass or Starships, she remains explicit, but also fun and ruthless at the same time. [7/10]
   
   The Night Is Still Young - On one of the albums more happier singles, we can help as listeners but feel sad as Minaj raps and sings along to the song. Here we make a conclusion about this album and its packaging; she is hurting, but she continues to make the most of her happy moments. [8/10]
   
   Pills N Potions - An underrated masterpiece. We see perfectly executed verses on Nicki's behalf, as well as the interestingly bizarre visuals of the video, we make conclusions about her artistry. 'People will love you and support you when its beneficial', raps the Queen, proving that she is still personal. [9/10]
   
   Bed of Lies - Another hard hitter, a fantastic one at that. She raps around Skylar Grey's beautiful lyrics with ease, but beyond all that, we can almost hear her cry, the anger in her voice more prominent than ever. [9/10]
   
   Grand Piano - A beautiful piano ballad, and the standard editions only entirely sung track. This closing track proves that Minaj is a serious artist, one that is better than most of her male peers. [9/10]
   
   BONUS TRACKS
   
   Big Daddy - Mill's appearance goes unnoticed, but its subordinate nature acts as the perfect build up to Minaj's triumphant nature. [9/10]
   
   Shanghai - Hip-hop Nicki is back, swinging her samurai sword at her haters with force. [8/10]
   
   Win Again - Possibly the albums best track. She sings and raps beautifully while again, burying the hatchet in her 'rivals'. [9/10]
   
   Truffle Butter - 'Only's stronger relative. If anything, it makes us forget how tired the song actually was. [8/10]
   
   OVERALL SCORE - 78%
   
   SUMMARY - An excellent album with a mixture of feelings.… Expand

Nicki is a talentless witch who makes shoddy stereotypical rap songs such as partying, sex, drugs, etc. Also a terrible candidate for Sugilite from Steven Universe. Please stick to good rap artists such as Azealia Banks, Angel Haze, Dreezy, Tkay Maidza, Stefflon Don, IAMDDB, & FLOHIO.… Expand
