I'm not gonna lie & say I'm not a BIT nervous on how Nicki's singles next era will do on mainstream radio considering the GP are so used to her Pop songs.

I want her singles to be able to smash on Hip-Hop formats & cross over to Pop formats if you get what I'm saying. As I said before, I want Hip-Hop songs that can CROSS OVER, but not crossover songs (although a few are fine.)

We have done this on OGG. People voted for Rap. Like, I can't believe you even say this, haven't you seen all the posts bashing her Pop music? When she released The Re-Up there was a blog with tons of posts, everyone was glad she went back to her roots.

Who said anything about Top 10? Success does not mean Top 10. I've told you this before. And I never said it was easy.

Nicki has a dozen of urban song go Top 20 itself. It is not hard. Love Me and SFTB went Top 10 this year.

I said Top 10. I want her to have at least one Top 10 next era. Drake is an exception, he has the perfect situation, we all want Nicki to have the same.

So true.



Rihanna, Beyoncé and Nicki haven't had Top 10 with an Urban song since 2008, it's obviously harder for them. I hope she still makes it though, with a crossover song obviously.

A Top 10 doesn't equate to a hit though. Judas went Top 10, and yeah.

Of course though, it would be MUCH easier to get a Top 10 for those three with the new rules, since they're forces on VEVO.

And besides, Nicki was just Top 10 with an Urban feature last year with Make Me Proud. It's not her song but still

Um. No we have NOT


& I said she should do another pop song if she's only doing 2/3 more albums.

I honestly don't care if she does/doesn't. I'll always like her rap more OFC.

The perfect situation would for Nicki's singles to have the commercial success that Drake's have, while still being heavily played on Urban stations.

The only problem is that Nicki's not Drake, so the situation is completely different. I thought we've already established that it's not fair to compare Nicki & Drake.

That's because Gaga stans only know Pop music. They think Gaga invented the genre.

You are taking a complete 360 with this topic. I just said that you can have success today with other genres than pop. And you just bought up race, Top 10s, and Drake vs Nicki.

---
The theatre tour was more pop marketed. Even her interludes were her pop songs. I actually went and can testify that.

[Willy.]

OGG would probably vote Rap. They're more forward-minding than GGD

[Willy.]

She definitely had more Pop in her non-Roseland dates.

You said "success" and success is relative. For Nicki I think success (single-wise) would be at least one Top 10 and then a few smaller Urban hits.

I don't know why some of yall think Nicki is just known for pop songs on pop radio. She has had dozens of hits with her hip-hop work on that format.

[SebaMonster]

Btw I just wanna say that if she released 'Whip It' today, it would have flopped. Radio doesn't use that kind of music anymore, so she definitely doesn't need to make that kind of music anymore to get hits.

Question. What's more successful?

A song that went Top 10 and is Platinum or a song that peaked at #11 (like Girl on Fire) but is at 2.8M downloads?

It wouldn't flop. It'll just do moderately well like Right Now(she actually could be slaying if she did a video/promo).
