I feel like the next album will not have that much pop influence as her previous studio albums have had. For me, Pink Friday has always been hip-hop with R&B/pop influences (R&B and pop are slowly becoming the same, mainstream-wise) while Roman Reloaded is hip-pop. It'll be more like The Re-Up with mostly rap tracks and a couple crossover tracks.

Also remember... Nicki has yet to have an era that starts with the "right" single. While I consider them all to be gems, Massive Attack, Roman in Moscow/Stupid Hoe, and The Boys all did not do as well as the following singles. I'm not saying she won't start strong, but I do think that we have to be careful about judging the next album/era from the singles (promo or the first "official" single).

I really wanted Nicki to film videos to I Endorse These Strippers and I'm Legit

It is possible we might get "something" that involves them (+ Hell Yeah). I can see her performing a small portion of I'm Legit with Ciara live if Ciara is still going on that tour (with Chris Brown? Idk). We might not get anything for IETS and HY since they feature her artists and those were treats enough haha.

Roman in Moscow/Stupid Hoe were promo singles... Starships was the lead single.

They were still singles and the jobs of singles are to promote the album.

I know there is a difference (promo singles coming far before the album's release, meant to create a buzz, etc.), but people can sometimes be quick to judge promo singles as "failed" first singles.

I'm going to edit my post to be more clear lol. I should have just said "single".

I don't think they get released to be successful, just to create hype for the album.

Nicki better not release more than 2 songs for album 3. Ciara, Chris, Wayne, Drake, etc. all do it.

I hate it because we basically already heard the whole album. *look back at RR Era*.

Yea I hated how we heard half the album before it was to be released. It took the surprise factor away.

I just can't wait for this DJ Prostyle track though. This is the one song I'm the most excited about. If we get that IBP feel, then I'll just DIE.

It's 31°C (88°F) here. I literally cant breathe, so humid, atleast in America most of you have air conditioning. I was in the city centre & PF perfume was sold out & the woman said it has been the best seller in that store since it's release, such a summer smash .

[tHE.PARtY.]

Ive been gone for a while. Have we got any new features since Get Like Me?

Because Power 105 is the #1 Urban station in the United States & the song would go in rotation heavily on the station. That's why.

It's all marketing and logistics.

It's also smart because there's a severe chance it would be a solo song, which would give us a solo song without us actually having a solo track from her.

True.
Wait a minute I thought 105 had the highest ratings in morning shows.
I thought some of you all were on the train of Hot 97 is still the biggest urban station for music...it's just there ratings for morning shows were not as high as the one with charlmagne

A solo song that's not technically hers so it wouldn't cross with any third album songs, and from a radio host for guaranteed airplay... That is smart.

I doubt the next era will be anything close to what RR was. Nicki know exactly whats going on. There's a formula to success. If she want to just reestablish her her dominance she can. If she wants to grow as an artist she can. I for one hope this album does what Pink Friday didn't. I want straight bars.

I just wonder if this album will be THAT album.

PF will always be THAT Era though. It was so perfect.

It's funny people say this now but back then people complained about that wack Check it out, the fact that RR wasn't a single with a video, the fact that FLy was released too late and the fact that Save me was never released.

But I guess compared to PF:RR it seems perfect.
Single wise the only thing they got right was the timing of Your love (which was accidental) the release of Did it on em at the right time and superbass.
Right thru me was a non factor. Good song but just came and went. They should have released fly earlier than fall and Blow your mind should have been the song to replace that awful check it out single.

I loooooooooooove the tone she uses in the Girl on Fire Remix. I want more of that!

Yeah I agree. But that isn't the Remix version. There is no remix, but only different versions. The one with Onika is the official credited version. But I get what you're saying.

[King Maxx]

Yes they are to create buzz. But people basically shut down an album based on them. She needs to start the Era right. Rather the song is on iTunes or not.

[King Maxx]

Actually I'll say that RTM is one of the most memorable singles of Pink Friday. How did it come and go?

No new features since then. But Love More on Monday/Tuesday.

Hot 97 is an impactful ass station, BUT it's not technically an Urban station. It's licensed as a Rhythmic station, and it's #1 in the country for that format.

What happened to Cam's mixtape?

[SebaMonster]

If she makes a mixtape, I want her to sample 'Jay-Z - F.U.T.W.'

Just saying.

Ok, got it.

[ririfan21]

Super Bass is the highest selling single from a female rapper right?
