HA there is NO way a third album is about to drop in May. we would already know. She wouldn't jump that quickly. she'll release mid to late 2013.

Banks is too Electronic for me, I just miss the Rap-feeling in her songs. It's like Rap music for Pop fans, the lyrics don't even matter, just the sound of rapping over a fun beat. Just my opinion.

Division, what do you want for the third album, and what do you ACTUALLY see happening for the third album?

Also, Your Love, M4L, and RTM were more successful than PTA!

It might not even be her choice.

I'm sure Young Money planned for her to do a world tour and Idol caused most of it to be scrapped, so I'd understand why they'd push for her to actually use Idol.

Perhaps not an album. I'd be happy with just a 5 track EP to tide us over the summer. Make it pop centric, to appeal to Idol's audience, and then do the urban album end of year.

I don't know why people believe that May date. By now Automatic f/ misha B should have been a single and she was going to ditch urban and go full on pop.
I mean, seriously.
It doesn't even make sense for them to release it in may. Do people really think that when Nicki says that she wanted the re-up to hold us over and a possible mixtape that it was only for 5/6 months

I have nothing against him but he's been proven to be wrong a few times, though. I'd believe the Young money 2 album to be released in May before i believe the PinkPrint.
It wouldn't make sense.

idk division i doubt she'll do anything pop for awhile maybe pop fatures but she 's completely focusing on the urban crowd it seems

She's not releasing an EP either. Do you not comprehend that she want's her next album to win a Grammy, and probably be here most successful album yet?

You have to BUILD hype. Nicki on Idol will keep her in the public eye until September.

Sarcasm, sir. Learn to read it.

Until January. Then Idol starts. I anticipate a bipolar mess.

Got it. At first I thought you were but then I said WTH take it seriously.

Of course, it'll past Platinum next week.

...

Wait, what? Hardly any major critics gave it the time of day. You can't make sweeping statements like that based on a half dozen reviews.

I'm looking forward to Division's meltdown when this album turns out total hip-hop.

72 on Metacritic with 8 reviews.

The Fame Monster has a 74 on Metacritic with 14 reviews.

It's basically the same thing, considering the only negative aspects of the reviews was that they mentioned how it was bundled with PFRR and that the generic pop brought the whole project down.

I'm happy Nicki tweeted a picture that compared TRU's Metacritic score with PFRR and PF. She herself admired how PFRR wasn't that great compared to PF and TRU

She won't release anything until Q3/Q4 of next year.

She wants to make this album extremely good, she wants to blow people away.

Come on.

Honestly? Can we NOT have any heated discussions anymore without the use of the report button?

I like all of ya'll's opinions, but this reporting is ridiculous.

She needs to stop the pink stuff if she wants more straight men to buy her album though...
