Rap is so stupid. Iggy isn't even doing rap. It's so over. Nicki was doing what she knew best which was making really really good music and she had a good standing in pop music which ya'll hated her for it. What the hell is wrong with you. She went from a hit maker to a nobody. No on was even anticipating this album, at least not like her last album.
Nicki Minaj’s new The Pinkprint album is on course for a top five debut on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry sources suggest the album, which was released on Dec. 15 through Young Money/Cash Money Records, may sell over 150,000 copies in the week ending Dec. 21.
Likely standing in Minaj’s way for the No. 1 slot: Taylor Swift’s sturdy-selling 1989 album and Pentatonix’s holiday effort That’s Christmas To Me.
Next week’s second biggest debut will likely be D’Angelo’s surprise album release, Black Messiah. Credited to D’Angelo and The Vanguard, the set could sell around 100,000 copies in its first week. The album -- D’Angelo’s first studio effort in nearly 15 years -- arrived nearly out of thin air at 12 a.m. on Dec. 14 via digital retailers. A CD version of the album appeared in brick and mortar stores the next day. (A vinyl edition of the album will be released on Feb. 10, 2015.)
