She really was one of the most hated artists of 2012.
Some of the hate was deserved, a lot of it wasn't in my opinion.

It was necessary and the timing was perfect.
PF she had alot of bandwagoners.
PFRR was the litmus test. For major artist they go through backlash at some point in their career and its how you bounce back.
She tested the limits and went extreme (expanded her brand globally as no longer a feature queen but a headliner)...testing how far she could go in pop and how much hate she would get from urban.
She endured and won and pass the litmus test.
It's happened before:
Madonna's Erotica
MJ's HIS tory
Whitney's Im your baby tonight
Britney's In the zone...some would say blackout
Nas: Nastradamus
Jay Z: Blueprint 2
Rihanna Rated R
christina aguilera's stripped
That flop Kelly clarkson album
Nicki Minaj Pink Friday Roman Reloaded
PinkPrint will be more RELATABLE case in point Pills n potions
will infuse a new sound with growth maturity and wisdom
introspection, retrospective inspirational, aspirational, motivational mixed with ratchet and fun and add a dash of euphoric, triumphant celebratory living it up realness.
But NONE of that would have happen with enduring the LESSONS LEARNED from the prior eras.
Funny how I said this in 2012/2013 but people with less life experience and not in Nicki's generation told me I was wrong...
Now what has she spoken on in recent interviews about her album
I said it before and I will say it AGAIN
mixtapes proved she could rap
features proved she could body everyone
PF proved she could be a star and a female rapper could brand herself as a perfect blend of commercial and urban
PF features era proved her versatility
PFRR proved she could go extreme and put out top 40 smashes if she chose but also keep that urban element (although lesser in quality). Also, proved she was bankable and was a headliner and no longer feature queen for pop songs
PFRRTRU was to prove she can circle back to urban (even though it was too soon for them to buy into it)...it was necessary to serve as a bridge
TPP will show everything I've been saying + adding more than a few pop songs (that i claimed) but those pop songs will not be dance pop it will reflect what is pop right now URBAN POP and ALTERNATIVE RELATABLE POP (Katy, Lorde, Ariana etc.).
THIS WILL BE A CLASSIC HIP POP album that she wanted with PFRR but didn't realized she couldn't do it without going through and enduring PFRR era.
It will speak to the female audience giving Lauryn Hill teas
It will speak to the sassy urban pop ways giving Rihanna/Katy perry teas
It will speak to the introspective, key into Onika and make her stans fall more in love with her
It will speak to dem nuccas that love Did it on em because they can bop to it and feel comfortable
It will speak to Becky, Katie and Cameron's who want to say they love rap because they like Nicki
It will speak to the Justin, Adam and Eric's that want to live vicariously through what's hot in urban
THIS IS WHY I ALWAYS WANTED her to keep The PinkPrint because it truly will be her epicenter of music.
4th album will BE THE less urban pop and her most gritty RAP album
5th album will be whatever note she wants to end off on (Wildcard)...
could give Ray of light/Rhythm nation/Blackout
yeah I said it/Rated R/Miseducation teas
Can't wait for the Pills n potion video to come out. Gift it to me
But then a few days later when she STARTED the VEVO record I noticed it's impact. 
Why? I thought he was on vacation or something...
