I need a favor. Who remembers when Nicki was like "I don't talk about real stuff in my features, I save that for my album"
What was that interview?
So far, the only thing that I've found is from her Complex photo shoot/interview.
Quote:
What are your new rules?
One rule is “no more self-judgment.” I’m not judging myself; I’m not dissing what I do. I’m proud of what I’ve done and I’m proud of what I’m working on. I’ve accomplished something and I’m not going to be ashamed to be happy about what I’ve done. I’m talking about things that I didn’t speak about on other albums. It’s a truthful body of work. The album is me doing a press conference, addressing things and not putting too much [emphasis] on “This has to be lyrical,” to the point where I lose focus of a message. It’s important as a woman to be vulnerable and be strong at the same time. The album is a dope balance of vulnerability and strength, of inspiration and of not being politically correct. It’s the best of both worlds. It’s tapping into both sides. There are times when all I want to do is be lyrical and create metaphors and experiment with my flow. Then there are times when I just want to tell a truthful story about love and have people identify with me.
Maybe you're master of disguise and you are
putting on and you're really the saint the good one
are you here to save me from the crowd
If you are then baby take me noooooooooow
