oh i see its main release was on vimeo that makes more sense https://vimeo.com/40612980

"all things go" is actually pretty good http://www.stereogum.com/1722516/nicki-minaj-all-things-go/mp3s/

sounds like a less hokey version of "moment 4 life"

I like this.

sarge this was cool

ah thanks matt! it turned out to be a much more interesting story than i thought it would be when i started to look into it actually

so, if wikipedia is right, if you combine the standard edition tracklist of 16 songs with every the tracks on the 4 expanded editions (deluxe, itunes, target/uk, japan) there will be a total of 23 songs released off this record

so basically a double album's worth of tracks, gonna be a lot of alternate tracklistings floating out there

apparently the itunes edition contains a song called "truffle butter" featuring drake and wayne

if the production credits on wikipedia are to be believed yung berg produced 4 songs on the deluxe edition lol

i'll wait and see on that one

wiki also says mike will and pop & oak each have tracks to that's cool

xxpost not to mention all the songs she dropped earlier in the year pre-Pills & Potions

yung berg is a good producer

he is

and yet, this would be unusual

apparently the itunes edition contains a song called "truffle butter" featuring drake and wayne

i want that to be fake just because it would be such a worthy addition to the Big Hat Club canon

i still hold out hope for Big Hat Club

ah so this dropped

kinda hoped it would be a boy george cover :(

whole thing is out there apparently

three tracks in and i'm feeling the EXACT opposite to how i felt three tracks into roman reloaded

*Rushes to search for how lex felt listening to Roman Reloaded*

kinda hoped it would be a boy george cover :(

rr first three tracks is maybe the best album intro of all time tbf

The Pinkprint - Wiki Minaj, the free Nicki Minaj encyclopedia
nickiminaj.wikia.com/wiki/The_Pinkprint
The Pinkprint is the upcoming third studio album by Nicki Minaj. ... Minaj called her album "The Pink Print" on February 14 at an interview with Angie Martinez of ...

lol i wasnt aware of this resource

I'll be interested to see what the ILX hivemind thinks. I find Nicki pretty insufferable these days, but am willing to give the album a listen if enough people deem it worthy.

literally no surprise at all that the best songs are the bonus trax and "trini dem girls"

"truffle butter" (the sample!!!) and "shanghai" are whoa

the main album is REALLY BORING :(

well it's basically her serious break-up album

(the sample!!!)

was on tip of my tongue & worked it out

maya jane coles omg

the Jessie Ware track sounds nice but I can see how a whole album of that would be zzz

that ware track is nice but it sounds like it could be by anyone really. which is my fear about this album.

sounds like this album is exactly what i feared

yeezus almighty this is 22 tracks long incl. bonus??? how many are actual album tracks?

16 on the main album

it's actually 23 tracks long but the japan-only bonus track "wamables" hasn't leaked yet

t/s - this album vs. artpop - both are p bad imo

feel like starting this album at such a slow pace might've been a bad move

These first three tracks are great.

*feeling myself comes on* whoa ok now we're cooking with gas

crying game was good too even if it was m/l at the same tempo as the first two listless tracks

All these uncredited vocalists...who is that on Want Some More? Whose doing the hook on Four Door Aventador?

jeremih on "want some more" i presume

"buy a heart" really rubs in how badly this album fails on its miserable terms given that it's an offcut from a break-up album also released this month which actually makes me feel things

ok go on then i am here to read a defence of the first three songs cuz i can't imagine one for the life of me

and "cry on your knees" is a prism reject. the album was delayed because katy perry decided against featuring on it at the last minute

and nicki couldn't even be bothered to take the katy perry reference off the song ;_;

I'm only just finishing the standard, but this feels really solid. I mean, I can anticipate certain folks hating how relatively laid back (for Nicki) a lot of this is, but I'll take that over obnoxious half-baked RedOne "bangers" that composed half of Roman Reloaded. Also I appreciate her shoving the two terrible singles Bed of Lies and Pills off to almost the tail end of the standard so you can completely ignore them.

The first three tracks aren't objectionable enough to need a defense imo.

Nicki trolling Lex by making the opening stretch of this album her own belated Take Care is the meanest, most subversive thing she has ever done.

How great is "Want Some More" though

That opening stretch is rough, but any album with two features apiece from Jeremih and Meek Mill is after my heart, and the bonus tracks are solid. This is much better than the singles promised I think

Loving this anti-lex album.

i never knew so many people wanted drizzly r&b from nicki, wasn't that the stretch of roman reloaded that literally no one can remember

aside from starships being on the radio, can anyone remember the majority of roman reloaded beyond the first 6 or 7 tracks?

excuse you for overlooking "gun shot"
