So "Starships" is the 1st official single this era correct? And it's being released Tonight at midnight?

Well, on one hand there is freedom in her artistry. On the other hand, she is showing that her team will tame her when necessary. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in the studio earlier this year bring "diversity" to her vision.

I think she needs to get this out of her system and then I really expect more pop dance friendly songs.

Ryan Seacrest gave starships a thumbs up and I really believe she will do big numbers AS LONG as the album is full of hits.

She looks gorgeous, very simple cover.

I wonder if it's from the video she shot

really? how is she showing that because the recent events have been showing me that ...you know. nicki runs everything she does ??

and i pray all of you are right because i been a stan for too long to see her career vanish after this upset, like ik she had alot of hate before but now ....it's like overload

like i feel like her attitude resembles kanye's attitude, but he's kanye west he has done / accomplished so much with his music that he can have any kind off attitude with all the accomplishments behind his name....but nicki is still in the beginning stages of her career and the sophomore album can make or break her

I personally lover her idgaf attitude. To me thats wht makes an artist who they are. If Beyonce, Gaga and Nicki went around caring what everyone says about them their wouldnt be any originality in the industry

Did you just say Beyonce, Gaga and Nicki and originality in the same sentence.

Child...

it just happened last night though! the heat will fade, people will forget. I will say that it IS really important for her to lay low and release a smash single. she needs to get people talking about the music again, as soon as possible.

It's going take alot to end her career. She's just misguided in the whole controversy thing.

But, I meant that I believe she wanted to go full force with this roman thing and they are tampering with it to add radio friendly hits because it's not catching...nothing wrong with that.

I know you rep Minaj very well. I'm a Nicki stan as well.

She'll be good.
I have a feeling that she put out those tracks to get it out of her system and the remainder of the album is going to be and people are going to see that there was a purpose behind it. She called RIM wack herself. But it is her art and she needed to get that message out of there.
Village voice or whatever COMPLETELY got the message of Stupid hoe and it seemed like she was urgent to drop...Superbowl, Grammy's mess...

NOW The attention good and bad is on her...
What is she going to officially deliver.

Ryan already cosigning her official single so I'm ready.

Can't wait for her to add to her accolades:

i find ironic and hilarious how i'm about to be the main one in the church praying that her career will only grow from last night's experience and that the opening week sales for the album are exceptional .

But they are doing what others have been doing...it doesn't take away from their talent but still...I clearly love Nicki but she's not the most original person out there.

[Travis1308]

Lol hey hey hey i wasnt saying she's original i just meant she's not doing what's expected of her being a black female rapper.
