August 16, 20186 yr Iggy's reputation was in tatters and was seen as a figure of ridicule by around mid-late 2015, in part because of her social media. That was probably the main contributing factor in her quick fall from grace.
August 16, 20186 yr I mean it's natural to compare Nicki and Cardi - they're the two biggest female rappers by a country mile right now. I do get the impression that Nicki is a bit threatened by Cardi's arrival, I mean, she has two Billboard #1s already while Nicki still doesn't even have one. This campaign just feels quite desperate all around, and whether it's Nicki trying to reclaim the throne she thinks she has, or just trying to drum up some publicity, is open to interpretation I guess. However, the release date being pushed back then getting a "surprise" release on its original day, plus pretty much everything surrounding FEFE, makes it feel like Nicki is trying her best to get back ahead of Cardi to me.
August 17, 20186 yr I love Invasion of Privacy but Queen>>>>>>>>>> 01 Good Form 02 Chun Swae 03 Ganja Burns 04 Barbie Dreams 05 Sir
August 17, 20186 yr As much as I’m loving this album, Fefe is just as good or better than most of it. Just a shame the main artist is such a hideous human being.
August 18, 20186 yr I accidentally listened to some of this album this week and I was pleasantly surprised. A lot more hip hop than I expected which feels more authentic Nicki than her poppier tracks (although I prefer her BOPS personally but this album feels more 'her'.) 'Majesty' in particular was impressive.
August 18, 20186 yr Still #1 on Apple Music in the UK and #2 in the US yesterday so shouldn't have too harsh drop on charts next week (we all know urban audience prefers AM over Spotify) Edited August 18, 20186 yr by SKOB
August 18, 20186 yr Decent numbers although she did everything and extra to achieve those. Astroworld was just too strong.
August 18, 20186 yr Not bad at all but I can see a hella BIG drop next week. She’s having an absolute meltdown on Twitter right now :mellow:
August 18, 20186 yr Nicki I can understabd being frustrated by the praise Cardi gets as a beef-filled fair rapper, not great writer, decent performer, who is nonetheless hailed all over as the best thing since sliced bread while not initially paying her dues to the women - especially in this case, woman - who paved the way for her to do what she does. A lot of it is media hype but on the flip, Nicki IS better than Cardi. She has amazing command of wordplay and vocabulary etc. that Cardi - at least so early in her career - could only dream of. Just as I can imagine Missy would have been pissed off if Nicki two or three singles in had been touted in the media as better than her in every single way and Missy at the same time dismissed as old and old hat and past it, while radio silence from Nicki or her team. It's only fair.
August 19, 20186 yr Half of twitter hates her now because she “dragged” Lady Gaga for collabing with R Kelly. That’s not really what happened but it’s how everyone is seeing it
August 19, 20186 yr 'Ganja Burn' is amazing! I always hate when albums open with the highlight, as seems to be the case here. Not that the other songs aren't good, but still... after 'Ganja Burn' expectations are too high. Nicki I can understabd being frustrated by the praise Cardi gets as a beef-filled fair rapper, not great writer, decent performer, who is nonetheless hailed all over as the best thing since sliced bread while not initially paying her dues to the women - especially in this case, woman - who paved the way for her to do what she does. Nicki should let it go just like what all Nicki's fan were saying about Lil' Kim for years. Nicki's entire image of the black barbie/queen is a carbon copy of Lil 'Kim and she paid 0 respect. Nothing original in there. 'Barbie Dreams' is another great example of something Kim has literally done before. ''Dreams of f***ing an R&B dick'' - 1996 ''Dreams of f***ing one of these little rappers'' - 2018 ...over the same sample. Nicki has no right to be upset about someone stealing the limelight.
August 19, 20186 yr Not bad at all but I can see a hella BIG drop next week. She’s having an absolute meltdown on Twitter right now :mellow: And she's now having another meltdown on twitter cos Billboard announced Travis is #1 in the album chart
August 19, 20186 yr And she's now having another meltdown on twitter cos Billboard announced Travis is #1 in the album chart Ha I saw that. Queen sold 185k and she should be proud.
August 19, 20186 yr Ha I saw that. Queen sold 185k and she should be proud. *200k according to queen of knowing everything Nicki xx
August 19, 20186 yr It is also #1 in a recordbreaking 86 countries (on iTunes which she forgets to mention and even PRISM did that in 100+) :magic: Our faves aren't safe
August 19, 20186 yr omg this meltdown :') it's beyond offputting lol Shame cause I listened to Queen earlier and mostly enjoyed it. Some of the digs throughout are a bit over the line (fair enough calling out DJ Khaled for his comments a while ago but she didn't need to comment on his weight lmao) but there's plenty of good lyrics too. I could do with it being shorter though, I don't think 19 tracks is really necessary :') Can we have more people talking about Come See About Me :wub: I love hearing vulnerable Nicki on tracks like this, it reminds me of Grand Piano which was my Pinkprint highlight. Much more appealing than her "queen" persona on just about every other track on this album lol
August 19, 20186 yr Oh don't get me wrong I actually enjoyed big parts of the album but this meltdown is just too good not to watch
August 19, 20186 yr It makes sense really, I’m glad she’s prioritising that over the chart position. Unless the sample isn’t cleared and then it’s all for nothing I guess haha Weird that I ever thought this 🤡 It’s sad to see her go off like this...she should just be pleased that it’s generally been well received. The whole fight for #1 business is so offputting.
