Minaj forces herself into her own box, muting her own strengths and songwriting abilities in favor of excising her emotional demons.“Īs a rapper, she’s capable of grand technical feats, rapid cadence switching and complex rhyme patterns, but generally she puts those fireworks to the side when diving deep into her feelings. True to its name, the lyric video features stills of pills. There were, however, others who did not judge the album in the most positive manner, due to noticing her being “too personal”: Following the highly anticipated release of her comeback single, Nicki Minaj has dropped the official lyric video for 'Pills N Potions.'. The combination is often, if not always, intoxicating" The lyrics mean that despite the fact that the person that she loved did something (untasteful) bad, although she will never be able to live with that person. …she’s intent on channelling her talent to explore and document her many moods. The PinkPrint is the closest Nicki Minaj has ever gotten to balancing her tendencies, and the furthest she’s ever been from emotional stability.“ Minaj was finally able to out-rap herself and purge issues she’s struggled with in private in her most exposed fashion yet.“ The Pinkprint was generally favoured by some critics: In 2015, The Pinkprint ranked as the seventh most popular album of the year, according to the Billboard 200. However, none of the three songs made the final track listing. Minaj has concluded, in an interview with V Magazine another big influence for the album was Enya.īefore the album’s release, Nicki released three buzz singles, “Lookin Ass” on February 12, “Chiraq” on April 7, and “Yasss Bish” on May 3, to help tease her fans what The Pinkprint would sound like. I do think that it’s going to create new rules, though, in that. The name of the album was inspired by Jay but not the body of work. I made reference to The Blueprint because Jay is the biggest rapper of our time.
He did such a great job of creating this Blueprint brand for male rappers and I wanted to do that female rappers to be able to pattern themselves with what I’ve done one day. He’s always been my favorite rapper, him and Wayne. I think everybody knows how obsessed I am with Jay Z. Pills and potions We're overdosing I'm angry but I still love you Pills and potions We're overdosing Can't stand it, but I still love you I still love, I still love I still love, I still love I still love, I still love I still love, I still love I still love, I still love Hey yo, they could never make me hate you Even though what you was doin' wasn't tasteful Even though you out here lookin. Jay-Z is also one of Nicki’s biggest influences, and she told Power 106: Nicki hoped for The Pinkprint to do the same. The name of the album is a direct reference to Jay-Z’s The Blueprint, an album that changed the Hip-hop world, designing a “blueprint” for other rappers to imitate and follow.
On this project, Nicki returns back to her Hip-hop roots, dropping the pop and dance-centric sounds that defined her on her previous studio album, 2012’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Released on December 12, 2014, The Pinkprint is Nicki Minaj’s third studio album.
