I wouldn't say PFRR opened doors, but Nicki herself opened doors for these Rap bitches to do more genres than Hip-Hop.

And PFRR wasn't bigger than TTT.

SS sold much more than WFL (even though WE FOUND GOD went #1 for ten weeks), but TTT is at 3M WW and PFRR is at 1.5M.

That's irrelevant, I'm replying to this:

And in what world is that true? TTT had We Found Love, Where Have You Been?, and Birthday Cake. PFRR had Starships. Maybe BITT. TTT was clearly more successful.

TTT is more successful than RR. But TTT is more forgettable than RR.

These bitches gon be talking about RR for years.

Even so you can't call PFRR bigger than TTT.

It's like this. Katy's TD isn't a bigger album than BTW, because BTW sold more, even if TD sold consistently and had more singles successful. However, TD is a bigger era than BTW.

I feel like I'm in SYG

LATE GANG

If this were SYG, Hollister would've gotten scalped for that Rihanna comment.

So nice of Doc to come kii with the locals.

That pictur was the sneak peak ?

but PFRR is way more talked about then wack,forgettable TTT.

one sold more then the other, but the one that sold less is more iconic, talked about.

weird.

and DOC, Nicki had urban and pop on the same album before TTT. so that does not count. Nicki still opened doors for artist to have diverse albums before Rihanna did it. (some may have done before, but Nicki did it in a more big,notable way)

bottom line, im saying Nicki is showing artist you can be diverse, have different genres on one album, and y'all always gotta argue about some ****.

I mean Nicki is a female rapper and Rihanna is an Pop/Urban singer.

Obviously Nicki would have done it in a more bigger way considering she went from rapping over straight gutter beats to over Eurodance beats.

Do we have Nicki's receipt? I need her albums' and singles' sales WW!

Am I the only one here still hoping RR would sell 1M in US and 2M+ WW?

These are gems that I have blessed the barbz base with over the past year. Basically, I copy and pasted these gems on my desktop in case I need to school the barbz on the game when they let the haters get to them (we all have done it).



Yeah and she would confuse the audience because she would have released Marilyn monroe and another urban single probably Champion. Both great songs but TRU is necessary as a bridge between old experimental Nicki and the new focused Nicki. It is necessary.
I hope she can get grammy noms for Freedom and High school and THEN actually win for music off of her pinkprint album

True.

She is getting more positive buzz and is the reason why it is getting the buzz. I see Mariah trying to control her rambling and sound articulate. She's trying too hard and it's too late. Nicki is winning.

I mean...then why...nevermind

Nicki had the idea to go more in the roman reloaded direction even citing that Roman in moscow was the wackest thing on the album but still wanted NO collabos and more grittier record with some crossover. Although nicki didn't like RIM, the song still went to #9 on itunes. She planned to incorporate more Roman which is why there was going to be a movie and movement behind it. She was going to have some pop like the songs from Redone but Luke talked her into doing a more pop than rap album to which she felt it would appreciated globally (if you look at her billboard press interview in 2011 she doesn't even seemed to be 100% behind the idea). With his input, the album was going to be more 75% pop and 25% rap (enough to have some urban singles on radio) Luke also wanted Va va voom to be the first single. It would have set the era in the safe route but Nicki decided she wanted to be more artistic and send Stupid hoe out there for a few reasons. She's always paid Va va voom dust because of the backstory of Luke convincing her to go in the more pop direction for his benefit. He's done shady stuff with other artist like Britney. Katy owes her career to him so she was never shaded. Well, she had it her way and she suffered the backlash and then tried to clean it up and use a half rap/half pop concept album by adding more rap songs. Looking back at the tweets some of her songs were done after valentine's day (the original album release) (Come on a cone, Beez, right by my side, hov lane, champion) etc. since the album got pushed back and Nicki knew she had to put more balance to the record. That's why it comes across rushed because half of the rap songs were rushed. I think I am your leader/sex in the lounge/roman holiday might have been done at an earlier time...not sure when they were done but most of her pop songs were done prior to february 2012.

To be honest, I really do think that the PC won't be released because although she foresaw the backlash I still think she thought the album would sell 5M WW and that the pop tarts would buy the album more than they did. She accomplished her main goal but thought it will still surpass PF sales too. That said, they would never post the rest of it because she probably is talking about how the haters will see how her plan will work and it only worked half-way

I don't give a ... is such a underrated song. It should have been a first single.

True.

Happy Easter everyone!!!!!!!!!

I'm a BIT upset though because all I got was a polo that I think is too small & a little bag of basic candy.

I wasn't aware you got gifts on Easter.

slw84's Dr Luke story is a total joke. Seriously, lay off the stupid ass conspiracy theories.

Happy Easter

@slw: but how did she replace VVV with SH? The VVV vid was shot a day after the release and video shoot of SH. I thought she scrapped VVV because she wasn't happy with the video. That's what she said on 106 back in April. And I still don't understand why she scrapped RIM. She could've just released the video together with SH on the same day. If it's because she didn't like the song why did she bother shooting a video.
