You can see Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded ... as a triumph that one of the biggest pop records of the year leads off with a half-dozen tracks of blistering, filthy, idea-jammed hip-hop ... the styles are wedded anyway by a particular frenzy, a sense that Minaj comes with no off switch or lower gear. As long as she doesn't slow down, she's the best pop star we have.

The Guardian gave the album a 4-star review. They are snobs, so the review is an achievement..

The acclaim Nicki is getting in the UK is really quite something - reviews are on-par with Gaga and Rihanna. The UK really is stanning for Pop Nicki, so that's why my views are so aggressive, and I see the urban stuff as somewhat holding her back. I mean, Pound The Alarm could start charting in the UK this week! That's how popular her pop tracks are. Turn Me On wasn't even a single in the UK, and it smashed the charts.

But don't start with that **** again sis.

Holding her back? What do you mean? Do you think Nicki should abandon hip-hop entirely?

Um, that's where she shines as a lyricist, so that makes absolutely no sense. If anything her urban tracks allow people to see how talented she is.

That's what a lot of them want but I don't see it happening.

I think Nicki should just put out pop albums for now. She can still do hip-hop mixtapes. I mean, it's not like her hip-hop songs do well in the charts anyway. She would still have urban radio support so why not focus on one thing and be neat with everything?

UK is here for Nicki this era

It's not surprising a UK magazine is more into 'pop Nicki' than 'hip hop Nicki.' Is Hip Hop even big there?

This is what I think.

Get urban airplay from what exactly? Mixtape songs don't get airplay like that, and **** like "Starships" would never get played massively on urban radio.
