It's worth celebrating the fact that the public got such an impressively personal record from Minaj-or, rather, from Maraj.Bastille – Weapon (vs. So while annoyances at the fact that The Pinkprint isn't the hard rap album that was expected is understandable, in truth, zagging when people expected her to zig is true to the Minaj mission. From the beginning, she's been about subversion-and, in fact, she's been most frustrating at her most commercial. Minaj could have used another pass at editing the thing down the deluxe 22-track length takes it away from being a tight, cohesive statement and lets it wander a bit.īut really, who cares if Minaj wanders? It may not make for the best album, but it makes for the best Minaj. And though the entire middle of the album ranges from good to very good ("Trini Dem Girls" will be in every gay dance club this weekend, if not before), the songs tend to blend together a bit. "Truffle Butter," which is stuck in bonus-track hell, is a far better Drake/Wayne collab than the messy "Only." Minaj's second collab with the spiritually tweenage Ariana Grande is a fairly icky ode to receiving oral sex, and pales in comparison to Grande's Minaj-featuring single "Bang Bang." "Anaconda" may make more sense in the context of the record, but it's still a noisy mess. This album is her sharing that life with us.īut there are cuts that just don't work. And Jessie Ware, who can already claim one of the most beautiful pop vocal performances of the year, adds a gorgeous chorus to the superb "The Crying Game." Onika Maraj has lived. On "Shanghai," Minaj boasts her rap credentials while insisting that yes, she can also sing a song or two, over a killer production by Chinza//Fly and Minaj herself. The two Meek Mill collaborations-"Fat Daddy" and "Buy a Heart"-practically bounce through the listener, they're so energetic. There are absolutely highlights: The Beyonce-featuring "Feelin' Myself" is a delightfully cocky boast for both queens. This album is her sharing that life with us.Īs a personal statement, The Pinkprint works effectively. But Onika Maraj, a 32-year-old woman, has lived. Go back to "Grand Piano" for a second and listen to the first few lines: "Am I just a fool? / Blind and stupid for loving you / Am I just a silly girl?" It's not the only time Minaj refers to herself as a young girl or woman on The Pinkprint, and considering her previous bright-and-candy-colored public image, it's easy to think that Minaj wanted to come off as childish not long ago. Much of it is brutal to hear, especially from a woman who's really never made talking about her personal life part of her career. It also talks about popping pills-a dark theme in other songs like "Pills N Potions" and "Bed of Lies" that never quite gets resolved. The track goes to some dark places: the death of her cousin in 2011, her abortion as a teenager, a proposal she didn't seem ready to fully accept ("Just yesterday, I swear it was '06 / Ten years ago, that's when you proposed / I looked down, 'yes, I suppose'"). Most of this is thanks to album opener "All Things Go," which sets the stage for a deeply confessional 16 songs (22 with bonus tracks). It's a pleasant surprise, then, that in the context of the record, all these songs make sense as the different stages of heartbreak, from post-breakup sex ("Anaconda") to the more insular moments ("Pills N Potions"). ‘I Am a Writer Because of bell hooks’ Crystal Wilkinson
