LISTEN: Nicki Minaj - Whip It
Yes, she has an alter ego. But Nicki Minaj skirts the edge of bi-polar in her sophomore debut. The first half of the album she’s in beast mode, then the last half softens it up with some pop.
My favorite song on the album is Whip It (see the new Spotify integration!). RedOne takes the production credit here, and the other better half of the album has more RedOne (Starships, Pound The Alarm, Automatic), a little Dr. Luke (Beautiful Sinner, Young Forever), and even a sleeper hit from Alex Da Kid (Marilyn Monroe).
Overall, I think Nicki / Roman has a long lasting album, even with all her craziness.
#YMCMB baby.

A blog about the latest buzzworthy music as well as thoughts and analysis on the music industry. I think about music from a business perspective and what sounds good to listen to. Some of it falls under Top 40, but good quality music is always something to write about. I like hip-hop, pop and alternative music, but also enjoy some country and techno.
