Music News: LA Times: PF:RR might secure Nicki as most versatile popstar

JayRockafella

Quote:

"Reloaded" is a labyrinthine psychodrama centered around one of her many alter egos, the gay, twentysomething man Roman Zolanski, whom Minaj cheekily claims is a demon that lives inside her and emerges when she's angry. It's the kind of concept-heavy follow-up album that makes record label execs bolt awake at night soaked in a cold sweat.

But if it sticks, "Roman Reloaded" might secure Minaj's career in her best role yet — as one of the most daring and versatile pop artists working today.

at LA Time's contradictions though

bolbi

whose side are they on

Cheers

Daring?

Siya

Atleast they complimented her..in a way

Jeiboy

It was shady to be honest

Edit: No, I completely disagree though. There's nothing versatile on that album because the pop half isn't good enough to be considered a strong point for her.

Edit x2: editing out my flopness.

ethan

What kind of contradiction?

DvnR

I can't at them giving her a 50/100 but saying she's going to be the most versatile and daring popstar.

Lil Misty

Please.

Willy.

What kind of contradiction?

Dark Matter

And people call Nicki a bipolar bitch...

Siya

I mean it's a positive thread so.

Pop music, for all its commercial problems of late, has no trouble generating hit singles and cultural conversation starters. Where it's struggling is in creating long-term stars with a wide range of skills. Finding one's sound isn't as important as finding an authentic charisma — vocal, visual, in pop media — that can be deployed as needed in the fast-shifting currents of music. If Minaj can maintain control of her character creations, the potential for her third act is limitless.

WTF? How can they slam her for being too eclectic in the review, and then say this?!?

Ive been listening to the album a lot and my feelings for both sides keep swaying. But around my 5th listen, Whip It, Pound The Alarm and Young Forever started losing their appeal and became very stale.

It says a lot when you're already getting sick of a song 3 days after getting it.

So basically, first listen: the pop side is so good that Popnika needs to stay! Fast forward to review day: I'm sick of the pop songs, and the pop half is not as good as the rap half (like the reviews have been saying). Hmm. Well. Sounds a bit odd to me. But hey, I'm not one to judge.
