Nicki Minaj: The Pinkprint
Rating: 4/5
After the release of “Anaconda,” I couldn’t have been more excited for the release of Nicki Minaj’s new album, “The Pinkprint.” It was released on Dec. 15 and peaked at second on the US Billboard 200.
“The Pinkprint” is Minaj’s first album to really encapsulate all sides of her. She’s made a lot of progress as an artist, particularly in live performance. That said, the album was far from perfect. And because I like to become better through the faults of others, I’ve compiled lists of the best and worst songs on “The Pinkprint.”
