Is Nicki Minaj the Itunes album exclusive release?
Circling back on the March 2014 article declaring an iTunes album exclusive was in the works
Originally posted by Digital Music News
No, it won’t be available on Spotify, or any other streaming service. Not on the album release date, and maybe never. Which is exactly how Apple is structuring this deal, according to executives sharing preliminary details with Digital Music News. In terms of release strategy, the artist under discussion is deciding the best way to release, with a well-orchestrated, pre-release notification to fans more likely than a flat-out surprise. But one thing is certain, according to our sources: this artist will be working direct-to-fan channels like Twitter, email, Facebook, SMS and several other channels ‘very aggressively,’ with ‘special giveaways and bonuses’ for the most dedicated and interested fans.

Did a new laugh on a new song. It's not the "freaks" laugh. It's even weirder. Don't even know how it happened. You'll hear it soon

So music is coming sooner than we think, a tour is coming sooner than we think (my summer blue/pinkprint might still be achieved).
She's headlining powerhouse in mid May
Shes probably performing at BBMA.
She's headlining the Summer Jam stage June 1.
She'll probably perform at the BET awards late June.
With Iggy Azalea releasing in a few days (4/22/14) I sure hope she won't release the same week to take the little shine she's getting away from her. It would make sense to give her a couple of weeks to have her moment and then...Domination.
What do you think
I really hope she is. She needs a lot of promotion so the album can slay even harder.
Some reasons she actually might be it:
-YM didn't promote 'Rise Of An Empire'
-Wayne pushed back his album release date
I think YMCMB is giving Nicki all the promotion, since she kinda has to be sucesful with this era and she has a lot to prove to the hip hop comunity.
I can't wait for The Pink Print, I got my coins ready to spend on ha.
& yes I really do believe so
that would be a mess
if she snatches the spotlight from Iggy too.
