If she done a complete project full of Lookin Ass ****** it would feel contrived and forced, as Nicki is a melting pot of genres and musicality. We don't "deserve" anything that she wouldn't feel completely herself doing.

There are fans who want a full pop album from her & there's nothing wrong with that. So don't try to make us feel guilty for wanting a full rap project from someone who now claims the title Queen of Hip Hop.

It's perfectly fine for us & majority of the Hip Hop community to want an entire rap album or at least a mixtape from her. What's the issue?

All of her albums can't be more improved Pink Friday's.

How is that over-argumentative though? Many people consider him both. An artist can have multiple genres, like Nicki for example. He was the start of music getting commercialized and getting popular structures and compositions. Elvis marks the transition between Rock n Roll and Pop. And I didn't just invent this. Many professionals also view Pop music history this way.

It's not about her limiting herself but a good portion of her fan base that was with her from the beginning, loves her for her rapping. Those of us who love her rapping more than everything else, just simply want a full Rap/Hip-Hop project from her. Not sure what the big deal is.

You can want and you can hope, I was clearing directing my post to members who feel like they deserve. You, I, nor anyone else deserve anything from Nicki besides what she offers us, If you don't like it you don't have to buy into it. Fan entitlement and having wishes for an artist aren't two in the same, SneakerNerd. I myself prefer Nicki when she spits, but I can appreciate that there is more to Nicki than that. So I take the good and the non-preferred as a package as I understand that her artistry and vision as a content creator is more important than my selfish demands as a consumer.

Lol. I'm not trying to make you, or anyone for that matter, feel guilty. If that's what you got from my post then I would look a little closer to home.

That's why she can give us a mixtape or EP with just rap. She even admitted she wanted to give a mixtape tour for the fans who just want that side of her, but she knew it wouldn't sell out arenas.

I love all sides of Nicki, but it'll be nice to see her create one rap classic. I would also like to see her do a full length pop album and a full length R&B album one day.

Kane I agree with the points you've made, but you can't tell someone what he or she feels they deserve.

Nicki's fanbase is too big for a project to be all rap.

Why do you think RR wasn't COMPLETELY Pop?

Willy.

Nicki isn't doing a mixtape. Like I said, her and Drake are way too big to give out large quantities of music out for free.

l don't even want an all rap album. For what?

That's fine, but some do. That's the whole point of this discussion.

Maybe some of you are confused with "rap album". We're saying we want a full hip-hop album. If you can't understand why some might want that, then poor you.

Kane

We can all "want" different things, I'm sure we all do.. It's human nature.

Lol. I thought I was being clear, but maybe I wasn't. I would be happy if Nicki dropped an EP tomorrow entirely made up of Hip hop songs. I would love it, actually. I'm just saying that I don't feel like I should expect, let alone "deserve" it when I know that Nicki is a diverse musician. Tis all. My entire argument is that none of us should feel entitled to a certain sound. If you weren't a member that made that statement then I wasn't trying to make reference to any post, opinion or the key word here, PREFERENCE you have. I hope that clears that one up. Let's not confuse want and deserve, barbz.

If the next album would be a pop album I would hand in my stan card tbh. So not here for that. I stan for the Queen of hip-hop, not a pop queen.

Next time quote me & maybe it wouldn't have became an entire discussion & people wouldn't be confused. It's obvious you're talking about me & my statement that I still stand by regardless of what you feel you were clear about. You may feel you don't deserve something, but sis that's all you. Stop comparing your morals & beliefs to mine, because you will never win in that department.

I say & feel what I want, despite your opinionated take on it.

And a lot of people would be here for that. l don't think that's fair for her to do project with just one genre whether it be strictly Pop or Hip-Hop.

lm sure she knows this tho.

MusicTalker

Generally, hip hop Nicki is better than pop Nicki.

I would be here for another pop album only if it were more experimental.

Justinintime

A mixtape for nicki wouldn't be wise from a business stand point. Her music releases get far too much attention ( radio airplay )...I'd shudder at the legalities of that alone. As far as genre...Nicki hasn't been full on rap since Sucka Free , and I don't mind it. I want good songs regardless of genre. PFRR had quite a few hard hitting rap songs, but they weren't that good. Give me quality.

I really want a Take Care type of album from her. But that's just me.
