This is the problem. People either want her doing rap-heavy angry hip-hop or fun/emotional pop/dance. She tried to please both (well not really her dance fans, who are still waiting for a remix) with PNP but it didn't work. She needs to pick one. And here's the thing - will she have success with a pure hip-hop 2nd single? It could be the most amazing song in the world, but if it flops or under-performs, what does that mean?
IMO Nicki doesn't need to worry about flopping with pure pop or EDM, because she's very good at it and if the song's good too, it'll do well. She'll get the promo, especially if its marketed as Nicki's "return to pop" or whatever. So she's probably keeping that 'Get Out Of Jail Free' card as a backup if the 2nd single tanks too.
