mellenthin Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 Okay, I just finished reading through all these pages while giving the album my second complete listen. My initial listen I questioned EVERYTHING. My second listen EVERYTHING clicked. NOT A SINGLE SKIP! Not even Cowgirl or Nicki Hendrix!!

mellenthin Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 Cowgirl's feature sounds incredibly tired, imo, but Nicki's verses and the way she slid

mellenthin Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 Also, LTISY sounds amazing in the context of the album. RRDS slaps like the absolute classic it is. SFG is very cute and lowkey a classic. Bahm Bahm is SO good. I am so happy she put it on the album, such an effortless slay. Big Difference's beat change SLAPS!!!!!! 1
Roman_xxi Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 Ok i love this album it just shows her growth, she could have really dragged the opps but she took the high road and chose her craft over drama, albeit a few digs here and there happy bday queen and this album is everything i needed 😭 1

brooklyndaddy Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 Bad album. It’s a mixtape of whatever she’s been doing for the past few years. I HATE that she’s using PF as a marketing ploy when this is just a random collection of mid songs. That said, it’s Nicki… nobody’s expecting a true body of work masterpiece 2 2

This is personally my favorite Nicki project since Pinkprint. TBH I'm tired of people trashing albums due to "lack of cohesion". So every song can sound the same or in a very similar vein? We have been there, done that a thousand times these days. I'd rather get a maybe less cohesive album with more distinct bops and songs from one another than a midtempo homogenous serious album that sacrifices interesting unique qualities for cohesion. At least she swung big on some of these, and I don't think it's as incohesive as people are suggesting. This sonically sounds 100% like it's in the Pink Friday universe and this album sounds distinctly Nicki. Her peers would not be releasing this record. This album is fun and unique and i will be using. Both Renaissance and Azealia Banks' Broke With Expensive Taste would be considered cohesive, and had no problem playing around with tempo or genre. If Nicki can't reach their level of artistry (with all of the time, features, and producers at her disposal), just say that.
Cheers Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 I'm not seeing enough praise for RNB!!!!!! This is a bop!!! 2
orange22 Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 When she decides she’s tired of singing on Fallin 4 U and starts lashing the girls 1

They just wanted an EP of oontz oontz music and I honestly would love to know how they convinced themselves they would find it here Maybe they should listen to Pink Friday Girls again

Not saying or ever implied this is a masterpiece, but I also don’t think it’s a bad album. I don’t need every album to be a deep artistic statement. I’m taking this album for what it is. I wish people didn’t always take their music so seriously.

One song melts into the other through well-placed transitions, new thematic/sonic suites, and smart beat switches. Nicki has been working on this album since "Megatron" and came up with a playlist of trendy sounds with Coi Leray-level sampling? Your girl needs her ears checked. 1 1
