I don't mean to come off as a smart ass but honey that 600K was projected BEFORE the album got pushed back had she released it then the sales would look different remember it was supposed to come out 2 days after the Grammys
But even Birdman basically said that PFRR was going to slay in numbers right before it dropped and we all know what happened with that.
Quote:
We’ve got Nicki Minaj on our current cover. Do you think Nicki Minajis the biggest female rapper of all time?
I say she is, but if she’s not today, within time she will be. No female ever will be able to sell more records than her, have more singles than her, have more number one singles than her, have more awards—no more nothing. She had the most singles by a female last year. Her accomplishments are gonna speak for themselves.
I can say that now because that’s just her first album but she’s only growing and getting bigger and bigger. She’s a global artist. She’s a student to the game. She’s hard-body with her workload.
I watched her grow. We got Nicki off a street DVD. Wayne brought the DVD to me, me and him was on the bus watching it and it was her just rapping. At the time, Wayne didn’t have a female [in the crew] and we were rebuilding what we was doing.
We wanted to have a female that could really rap. Soon as we seen her, we were like “Wow.” Two days later, we flew her out and had a meeting with her. We ain’t never looked back.
Do you see her as the biggest female artist or just as a female rapper?
I don’t look at them as rappers, they’re artists to me. Damn near call them musicians. She’s too well rounded to be just looked at like a rapper. She does it all. You’ll see, we gonna do more numbers—across the counter and digital.
I think people are so dramatic towards Nicki's stance right now in the industry. PFRR has a 61 on Metacritic, which isn't GREAT but it also isn't in the "bad" zone. Both the urban half and the pop half got some great reviews, and both halves got some negative reviews.
She is consistently getting awards, she is consistently getting endorsements and she is STILL invited to be a feature on everybody's tracks.
So what if she has lost a chunk of urban supporters FOR NOW. The urban community is among the most fickle - they CONSTANTLY turn on people who aren't giving them what they want - whether it be Usher or Chris or Ne-Yo or Mary J Blige - PLEASE remember at one point they hated Lil Wayne too. They ALWAYS throw a ****in tantrum if ANYBODY does ANYTHING remotely out of the norm.
As soon as Nicki drops something gritty and hot, they will be back. It's not even that serious. I cannot STAND the amount of attention that is put into making sure they are satisfied. They don't give two ****s.
People act like Nicki is struggling. PLEASE look at hip hop sales this year:
Rick Ross is only at 330k. ****ing Nas.... NAS is at 260k. Frank Ocean at 330k. Tyga ain't even at 300k yet. And the list goes on and on and on and on.
So exactly what ****ing urban sales is she missing?
Kanye & Jay, Wayne, Drake, Eminem, etc are some of the only people still pulling in big numbers and Nicki is right behind them. IDK why people are acting like this is 2005, where hip hop albums are a guaranteed seller. Times have CHANGED.
I can only IMAGINE where Nicki would be if she only did hip hop.
But even Birdman basically said that PFRR was going to slay in numbers right before it dropped and we all know what happened with that.
