I've been trying to find someone who's bought the Nicki Minaj album, "Pink Friday" to see what they think. Rolling Stone gave it a pretty good review but they also seem to really like Taylor Swift and I can't say I agree with them there. I've been obsessed with "Monster" since Kanye's new album dropped a couple weeks back. Nicki Minaj kills it on that track. She reminds me of Lil Kim without feeling like you need to take a shower. She has all the bravado of the boys without being overly sexual. That said, I've been asking friends and no one has gotten the album yet. I finally decided I needed to youtube something other than "Your Love". While I like "Your Love" it's much more Rihanna than Kim. What I stumble upon is "Massive Attack". It feels like Kanye meets Bust Rhymes, especially visually. It's like someone took the "Jesus Walks" deserts and showered it in "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See". This is a great thing. It makes me excited for the direction Hip Hop is going. I'm going to go explore more, but if you've listend to "Pink Friday" let me know what you think.
