I don't think that it's Urban's fault EXACTLY.

Nicki just hasn't ... given them a SMASH to play. BITT did well because it's Urban CANDY.

The Boys wasn't going to be successful and Freedom is too slow.

I think that's an easy way to count FREEDOM out. Though "Swimming Pools" is a song about DRINKING, it's BPM are almost paralleled to FREEDOM. Subject matter may be a reason why they don't spin it..

Isn't it being broadcast internationally too this year? In one of her Australian interviews, they mentioned that.

And I don't wanna sound ignorant, but I sincerely think Nicki's international pull CURRENTLY is bigger than Mariah's.

Like usual Kingsley you clocked the tea. So, no you don't sound ignorant.
I like your recent videos by the way.
I really like AI will make sure Nicki comes out looking good and they get what they need from Mariah (quality singer, diva over the top and charismatic responses, and her to perform to help promote her new album.

If she's not releasing the third album until 4th. I would like a mixtape.
The next album should deffo have production from MMG's Raz. He produced "Born Stunna" and a few other awesome HEAVY HITTING beats that I feel Nicki can ride well on. Pauz. I want more heavy hitting lyrics. Of course we love and fell in love with Nicki because she's cocky and ya ya ya, I want more advanced lyrical and literary things we can note and reference as ART. I can go on and on..

I would rather Nicki have us thirsty for the 3rd album. I don't want her to use alot of energy for the mixtape and then the album comes & we feel like we have to much Nicki. You know what I mean?

BITT was so carefree, which is why it got spins. I love Freedom, but the accomplishments aren't what people would want to hear. She should've made it sound more, Fly-like.

A song like High School is perfect because it doesn't mention anything about ha accomplishments.

Agreed.

Nicki built up hype for PF with her large amount of features and her managing to captivate listeners. I wonder if she could pull something like that off again for #3. It might overexpose her though.

It was different though because a lot of people didn't even know her mixtapes existed.

YES. I think it's clear that she just wanted people to hear her thoughts on what people are saying about her and ya ya ya..

I mean in her Fuse interview she said that she has A LOT more to say than she did with PFRR, which can be interesting.

In addition to that, she hasn't been stateside enough to really explore doing a lot of URBAN features. She's been touring. Hopefully she does get some features. Wayne did and he's the main reason why a lot of the songs, EX: Ball, charted/are charting.

I see it differently. They hit Mariah with the okie doke in my opinion. She publicly rejected the xfactor gig when they were wooing her in. To be fair, Nick had health issues too but Mariah rejected xfactor and then AI began salivating. They got Randy on her and they wooed her over promising a promotion tool for her new record and for her to be the highest paid judge on this type of show surpassing britney's 15M for her to get 18M. They didn't tell her that she would be the only female she just assumed that because she is such a magnificent diva that it would be understood that she would not have female competition. She didn't care who else whether it was a random country dude as long as she would get the spotlight. Well, as rumors persist that Nicki was in the running she started to see that she was played. Nicki was nervous but assumed that it would be cool with Mariah as they always had a good relationship and had no issues. I'm sure she thought the country guy was harmless and Randy too. Then Mariah started taking jabs at Nicki because Nicki was giving great feedback and giving AI what they wanted: excitement, exuberance, fiestiness, sass but an on point critique (she did this with her guess judging on America's next top model). Basically, the opposite as boring as f. Mariah (though I love her) reacted like an aging diva that saw her plan to capitalize on this for her album promotion and be the center of attention was being taking away a bit from a younger artist that is the most controversial artist at this moment. That said, Nicki started seeing it and was trying to surpress her feelings. Then she let it build up and the rest is history.

The video clearly shows Nicki trying to deal with the jabs and I think AI is siding with her and wants to show the story so that people can at least understand from Nicki's point of view. Will it change the mind of the naysayers, not really? But kudos to AI for having Nicki's back.

AI wins because
AI gets the spotlight on them and will probably have record breaking ratings/viewership

Nicki gets exposure and AI will certainly show her being amazing as a judge. She has the chance to win over a large public that might be questioning her without the full story. I'm sure this will be the beginning of damage control to her image. MM will get promo, too. She created a buzz for them and got major backlash but you go through alot with a $12M price tag. She instilled fear in Mariah and I bet Mariah hasn't AND will not try to throw a shady jab again.

Mariah gets exposure, she will continue to play the diva victim character. Not sure it will impact her album project that was pushed back but she will perform on idol and use it as a tool of promotion.

You do know how to write essays

I don't want her giving us all these "Still I Rise"-esque songs though. I want her just to come in reading like she used to do.

Nicki said she hasn't started writing for the new album, but she has some BEATS ready. I like how she has a great selection already available months in advance for the album.

I don't want a mixtape, only because it DOES generate hype, but I'd rather it be silent in Nicki world-music wise until the album.

True. I'm sure she will be very careful with her beats although I don't think there was anything wrong with the urban beats but the production will be impeccable. I'm sure.

She has stated that she has ALOT to say. She said this in the summer while working on her re-up.

Me thinks that she is going to use some of the stuff from her summer writing sessions and also take the idle (you see what I did right there LOL) time in Jan-May to write more and also get re-energized.
I really feel like that period she will write the best and make the lyrics more thoughtful and take it to the next level.
Then in the summer (hoping she doesn't do the summer tour), she will release the tour dvd and also work vigorously in the studio to finalize the PinkPrint.
release in September/October single album in November/December.

She's already been confirmed on that Wayne track produced by Diplo for IANAHB2, which will be fun

When RIM came out she had alot to say.

[YOURsoHOODken]

I think a lot of the rah rah and people talking slick about Nicki was partially due to her not being in the states. I think when she gets back - she'll straighten a lot out.

I think she'll speak about a lot of ****. She said she's learned to write instead of speak, so she's probably been writing a lot.

Did I say she didn't? For one, she never said that, and also, all I said was that she said that she has a lot MORE to say
