Many people "judge the book by its cover". If the album title is extremely tacky and the cover is crap, it's not likely that anyone outside of the fanbase would buy it.

I never spoke about the album cover. Just the title.

It's the music that matters.

"HI" is not the same thing as "Pinkprint". HI is gender neutral.

The reach at some of you thinking that an album title/artwork does not matter. If that was the case, all CDs would sit on the shelves w/ blank cases w/ just the CD inside.

I wish I could pull a dissertation from 2010 & the reactions to the title & PF cover.

You guys need to realize that no raw HH fan is going to physically go in & purchase a Nicki Minaj album. Never. Ever. They'll download it, but they'll never go in and physically purchase it.

But that has nothing to do with TPP. It's just something I've always meant to post.

Exactly. Nicki put us on the edge for months now. She has to feel that the music is coming somewhat soon. We need that big release of music. It's only a matter of time honestly.

Yep. The time is so open for the spring and summer.
Dark horse will be the #1 female song
Happy will be the #1 song but there needs to be new music for the spring and summer.
Adele's seems delayed.
taylor's and rihannas are for later in the year.
Kendrick is in September. Eminem later.
April-July is the time to really make a smart move.

The Pink Print isn't bad, lol. I understand where you're coming from, but the Jay comparisons aren't even happening.

Yeah, TPP is cool. People need to get over it. It's symbolic and SB keeps referencing that in his tweets/instragram posts

Which straight man is about to buy an album call 'The Pinkprint' by Nicki Minaj? Her barbz will buy it what ever it's name is, but people on the streets, especially males will not buy an album called 'The Pinkprint'

Anyone that has Itunes? or Amazon or Bestbuy to order it without having to go to the store and have witnesses. the idea is that you are not supposed to brag about liking it...doesn't mean that you don't.

In her defense, she never confirmed any release date soon. It's like when Bey released Bow Down/I Been On after performing at the Super Bowl, while also announcing the tour.

Obviously she wanted something out by then, but she changed her mind. However, she never confirmed anything. And as the Hive were saying, "it'll be worth it when it comes out".

She didn't change her mind. You tried it. She...lemme stop.
This is about Nicki anyway

Drake is different. He has more appeal to the urban audience, has more credibility (arguably) , and is more accepted by them than Nicki is.

[JessicaVanessa]

Naming the album "Pinkprint" is like naming the album "bubblegum pop" People (Hip Hop audiences) will look at it and run, not her fans but the common folk.

I'm not even worried about people thinking it will be pop. I think most people will know it isn't after the "backlash" of PF:RR.

My issue is w/ the Jay comparisons that will come. It's really non-existent now but it will be in full force once the campaign starts and once we get the music.

Well "People" still bought Pink Friday, & if you ask me that's probably the most girly album name & cover in hip hop history.

Comparisons with JAY Z?

EDIT: That is actually plausible. People on messageboards and RAPUP gonna be like "This is no blueprint"

You're referring to male Hip-Hip fans. Those who have never supported Nicki even during PF. Females (in the Hip-Hop audience) were the ones who supported it. As well as Pop fans, the Caucasians, etc.

Yes, the production on Pink Friday is really not great besides a few songs. Honestly, Nicki has yet to create an album that is really AMAZING imo. Still love her though, she's more than just her albums and I feel this way cause I know she's able to do better.

True. It's a good album not a great one.

Ugh, I stick with metamucil. Thirsty barbs can at least get my drink order correct. I mean, I tip servants based on satisfactory work.

Originally posted by JessicaVanessa

Nicki needs to widen her appeal and demographic if she expects to shift copies because The Barbz alone could barely push a gold album in sales.

Exactly. Her fanbase will get it gold.
She needs to appeal to my age demographic again.
Also, as I broke down many times:
Fairweather fans
Bandwagon fans
Casual fans
Targeting these 3 groups will get it to multiplatinum status.

And you will keep telling your self that, if people were here for music and not the album title this discussion would not have been a thing.

Clock.

The summer is such a period, and there's minimal places to promote, minus GMA and talk shows. The only award show is the BET Awards.

Q2 & Q4 >

Originally posted by JessicaVanessa

She needed cross over material to push her to "Top Rap Girl" status.

Well, true but there are a few.
BBMA in May
BET Awards June
Summer Jam June
GMA album week
That's not a bad deal.
Then you have 2nd single performed at the VMAs and further singles at AMAs, EMAs, Grammy's etc.

As long as she has a single out by May she is actually in that ideal period as I suggested (April-July)

Knowing some people they would say HI means Hate Iggy and start a beef for no reason.
Simpletons are something else.

But I started in 2011 so no dissertations exist before me. I'm the Alpha and the Omega

Oh I realize that Itunes and ordering from Best buy amazon etc.
No worries about shifting units there...if the music is right.

Well your opinion is going to stay the same, really. Even though the title is tentative, there's still a big chance it'll stay, so
