Can’t call Nicki lazy at any point in her career. She has hits records for every single year.
"You're not gonna get it at first.. but after the 2nd/3rd listen, you're gonna be like woah, what is this" It's her best album fr.
😂 😂
Her major fans get it at first. If your just a music lover than yeah 2-3 and your hooked. The bars gonna have you talking shit in the car 😂
Agreed
Thank you people who make decisions on the first listen this wasn’t made for them!
@@novaiamme8705 and those are the people who couldn't wait to run to social media and call the album trash.
You don't have to be a big Nicki fan to realize that she is a TRUE rapper and the flow is unmatched. I enjoyed this album a lot (FTCU/Big Difference WHEEEEEEWWW)
Ppl forget how diverse her fanbase is. PF2 hits Pop, reggae, trap, rnb, rap & singing so it had to be long. Her album is #1 in 81 countries for a reason.
Not states ! COUNTRIES!
@@cicigetthat07 highh. heels. on my tippies 😜😜😜🦄
EDM GOSPEL etc etc
She also makes music for the gworls
I'm 49 years old now and I've been listening to Nicki since 2009. She always amazed me ❤👏
Aww hey 🥲❤ I’ve been listening to Nicki since 2009 too and I’m 34
@@lauren5883 she's the best we have, no denying that
I believe 22 songs are good for someone who haven’t dropped an album in 5 years.
Nicki has always had long albums. She loves to tell a story.
We’ve never heard what an album from a mature woman in her 40’s who is also a mother and wife sounds like in Hip-Hop. I wish people would realize that. This album was not only NEEDED, it’s going to set the standard for women to have longer careers and realize how they can evolve. You don’t have to get it, but anyone thinking this is trash needs to expand on their reading comprehension.
I'm glad you said this because no woman has made it this far into hip hop. This is definitely uncharted territory for us all.
@@moziahgarvey4514 exactly!
This is definitely more towards the older women while also having songs to cater to the younger generation
@@Itsjustnine facts!
@@moziahgarvey4514 not true missy Elliott is still making music and it’s not even bad.
Nicki did her thing!!Pink Friday 2 is a masterpiece.🎉❤
I had high expectations for Nicki’s album and she went beyond what I could ever imagine. The first listen was good but overtime it gets better
Nicki album is a solid 9/10 for me . Fire album . 🔥🔥 “Barbie dangerous” is my fave it’s perfect for gym 💯
9/10 is crazy, i would hate to see your playlist 😭 full of TRASH and MID
Yes I approve this perfect workout and ftcu right after 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Really? I’m heading to the gym tonight!🙌🏿
💯Barbie Dangerous my favorite 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That black/Yellow fingers dude in all black with the injection big Red lip like an Indian gay is a Hater. Ebro put him in the spot at the beginning so he had no choice to follow the wave otherwise he gon’ start hating on Her as he always been doing. He’s a skinny looser with a chicken legs under his pants. Glad that other lady wasn’t there as well. She also a pure hater than Charlemagne
This album has MAD radio hits, if put out right. Nicki has always been about the music. You all were trying to make her hang it up and disappear for girls who weren’t hungry for it like she is. 🙄😂 we all know the reasons. Nicki has TALENT. BIG DIFFERENCE. How is the album long 😂😂😂 most of the songs are short. Like bruh, stop.
I was thinking the same thing about his too long comment. Songs are short in 2023 so 13 songs ain't it buddy. The 22 went fast and they was good so yeah gimme my monies worth
It's only an hour and ten minutes. He's 🧢
Yess!
@@GrandPrizeFitnesAJAY righttttt!
right, like don’t say the album is long, just say you impatient and can’t sit and listen for that long
I think we all had very low expectations because it's been a very low bar that's been set by these labels and new artists so this album really gave us art to ponder upon and feel it in different moments and actually listen and groove to it and discover perspective and narration from a specific artistic individual. This gave us music lovers a chance to relive the excitement and adventure of diving into that intricate artistry we actually appreciate.
I AGREE
You stole my comment 😂…..couldn’t have typed this better myself! But straight up facts.
Totally! This is pure RAP at its essence
She’s having fun. She’s not over thinking. Mistakes can happen, she’s human but her talent is undeniably Top Tier.
Her ability to create is only limited to the endless amounts of beats she can produce.

Nicki created a masterpiece. 9/10 & an instant classic. She touched all her global fans w/ this album 👏🫶
There is literally No Skips on this album. Nicki did her thing. 🔥🔥🔥
NICKI ALBUM A 10/10 FOR ME. NICKI BODIED. NICKI THE GOAT.
Lol
Fendi facts
Nicki has been in the game 15 years. Not 10. Its like people scared to say 15 years. Give nicki her props
You KNOW she called out cuz she can't not be biased!!!... glad she not there!!!
SHOUT OUT TO ONIKA AND HER PEN!!!!!!!!!!! FIF TING TING WAS AN AMAZING BODY OF WORK!!!!!!!!!
I love this Ebro is sticking up for our queen I am literally crying 😭
Why he ain’t been doing that tho … fake asf
@teeblanc0214 factz!!!!! All the opps move like this when it comes to nicki. Imagine being cardi seeing all of those who flipped on nicki try to return.
She clocked him!
He’s clout chasing
He was 💯💯🤝🏾
Nicki did her thing on her album she work very hard on that album her pen writing is so insane 🔥 😍 👏
The whole album is a vibe. A great work of art. Mature audiences get it.
The album is AMAZING 10/10 every song bring a different emotion. Nicki did that for real🦄🎀
Yes you can rock it all the way thru
She getting her flowers while she’s here I literally cried the whole interview🥹🫶🏾🔥🔥
Let Me Calm Down has been stuck in my head since I heard it. This is Nicki’s best album for sure. And one of the best albums of the year.
When he said she got “lazy with the raps” I’m just here LOST cause her pen ain’t never been lazy but aigh
Thank God Nadeska sat this out.. the day she decides to stop being biased is when people will take her seriously.
All she prolly sees is hate or backlash but its criticism that would help her grow in her own craft. Like ghel we get you dont like Nicki for whatever reason but throwing your toys everytime you have to review her music is crazy business. You literally can't mention rap without acknowledging Nicki, are you gonna sit out all those conversations? People will respect you more for being honest even if they dont like you or agree with you..
Lmao forreal like girl sit every conversation out for a matter of fact
@@Pardiinmeganjaw weirdly we need women in these conversations. And I think people will think Nicki's fans bullied Nadeska instead of realizing how problematic being biased is on these platforms
@@sinasomxakaza9170you are so right we do need women in this conversation just not women like Nadeska
@@BrooklynDaDon1 I don't think she's the problem truly. She gets a pay check, if not her then it will be another woman like her as a mouth piece for exactly the same narrative.. she just seems to take it too personally that she forgets she's at work
Nadeska def knew to sit this one out….
Nicki's album is PHENOMENAL well produced and sonically superb, she's rapping rapping gave so much VERSATILITY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finally my girl getting the credit from the Guys that she deserves. I think that’s what she wanted.
Facts!! I feel so proud to be a fan. I really feel like there was a time when Nicki may have felt insecure about her talent when the hate train was strong but I truly believe the love and dedication carried her through that time. I truly believe our love for her inspired her and she is back in her bag!!

I was on the road listening to the full album and it was MAJESTIC frfr the transitions of the songs was SPOT on!!! So good💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It hit me when I was in the gym. I already listened twice, but that third time while pressing weights was everything!! I love that it's rap and smooth all the way through. The production was chef kiss and her sounds/bars flowed like a master.
She definitely made art.
Agreed. Definitely a good gym/workout album for sure!
The way Ebro was blushing on the live with Nicki 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😹😹I think he has a crush on her fr😹
😹😹I think he has a crush on her fr😹
@@phindilegumede8114lol many of them do that's why they always mad at her and trashing her for not giving them the time of the day
He already smashed her 🙄
@@tmo6200 good for him. Nobody cares
It’s so true - the first listen you may not get it… especially because of what ppl are use to with todays music. But bu the second & third listen I loved it more & more! ONLY critique is it may be like 4 songs too long. Otherwise there’s something for everyone on this album.
Right, people listening with Sexyy Red ears....once you get passed your expectations you'll enjoy the album. Love this album tho!
Nicki killed it! She’s the queen so didn’t expect nothing less.👑👑😍😍🦄🦄
I hope she paces it out too.. I love the engagement. Her fan base is unmatched
She has real fans, the"Barbz," but most importantly she's talented‼️ She also sells more than music. Her Vogue cover sold like hotcakes they had to raise the price to $100✨👑✨
Yep, had to raise the price AND print more copies! 😏 Nicki STAY winning, period!
I got a Vogue subscription for the whole year only option and I only really wanted Nicki’s edition 😭
Nicki deserves ALL her 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻💐🌼! Period.
The album def had to grow on me, but now I love it so much!! She def had fun on this album and it’s like the opposite of Queen which I love!😂❤
I feel the same way❤
Yeah because I feel she wasnt trying to prove anything on this album
I love Nicki so much the more they hate her the more i stream this Album is one for the book
Yeppp I said the more hate she get the more people going to see what it’s hitting for then boom they like it
We knew she had a album coming she kept us informed and we supported
Wait… no it doesn’t have to be 13 songs those 22 songs are the perfect amount, as you enjoying the album doesn’t feel like you just listened to 22 songs.. it’s a CLASSIC RAP ALBUM! 💿
I love the album. PF2 is a masterpiece. Nicki has hits on the album
Can yall stop say she was the only female for the last 10 years because we hade young ma, Igga, Azealia Banks , and more BUT Nicki was the only one selling!!! it’s a different 😅
Pink Friday & Pink Friday 2 is Top Tier! The entire album is 🔥🔥🔥 Great body of work! 🦄
Love Nicki’s album!!!
Nadeska ain’t here on purpose 😂😂 we know
She woulda got dragged 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not long enough. I drive 12-19 hours every other day and the album go by so fast. Every song hits just a masterpiece I love it ❤
I appreciate the album breakdown from these men. Someone doesn't have to be a "Barb" to recognize Nicki Minaj's real talent on the Mic and her lyrical play. Nicki Minaj is an individual that definitely puts in the work. Nicki Minaj has put in serious grind and hard work to get this far in her discography and the results show💯💯💯
One of her best albums for sure. Replay value is insane
Nadeska knew not to come.. she knew to take her day off!
I don't wanna see her ever
im so late on this, what did she say about nicki ?
@@beautyintheprogress she’s basically a constant biased nicki hater and once she gets called out she backpedals and gaslight. she also discredits nicki and she’s doesn’t know how to separate nicki personality from her music.
He is officially a barb Ebro we love you so much
He’ll be talkin ish next week lol
Agreed she Did Her Thang 🦄👑💝
Album 10/10 I am a lowkey barb but this shit is amazing!
And i agree the most personal one to date.
Thank you 🙏 so much to for giving Nicki her flowers 💐 she really deserves it.
The versatility is sick, compared to the same one tone rap the current girls have. And it’s hard for them to try because then it would sound forced and automatically compared to Nicki
Ebro being messy 30 seconds into the show i live for it.😂😂 PinkFriday2 was a hot album! 🔥
Nicki didn’t NEED a big roll out. This is what people need to realize.. she could sneeze on a record and drop it in the same breath and STILL make major numbers
That doesn’t say much
Thank you for showing love to our Queen. We have been riding hard for her for so long and just want some recognition.
Everyday i listen my favorites keep changing on the album its phenomenal for real Nicki is that gal ❤❤❤
She been singing on all her albums, did u not listen to the original Pink Friday, or The Pinkprint 😭
Right. Her first single Your Love was all singing
Glad that bias and hateful ndeska or what ever her name is not there. She is not professional at all. Nicki's album is fire. Nostalgia. Epic and I am not even a barb but I am slowly becoming one because Nicki went through alot but did not turn about like a lot of celebrities that turn to alcohol and messing up their life's. Nicki is the definition of strong and thick skin. I love that about her.
I'm with you on this. Became a Barb too. She's a strong woman and her strength and longevity need to be studied
Nicki did her thing on this album 💿 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I see that girl Nadeska not there after Queen spoke 💕🎀💕🎀💕
We love you Nicki 🐐
I enjoyed PF2!! Her versatility and writing ability is unmatched!
Album is a 9 for me🎉 she did excellent on being diverse and showing growth in her lyrics and music choice
Pink Friday 2 is Nicki’s best album ever. As a fan, I am so proud of Nicki. I am a Barb 4 life🎀🦄🎀🦄🎀
Nickiiiii. Pink friday2🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
she literally just had two incredible performances at VMAs plus hosted. the single was last time i saw you, red ruby the sleeze, and super freaky girl some of her best songs ever in my opinion
Best album something for everybody in this album a true body of work of a true artist that can jump on any genre and do its thang love it!!!!!
The way that girl be so aggy towards Nicki , you would think Nicki stole her man 😂
Nicki Minaj really surprised me with this album. Haven’t listen to Nicki since Pink Print. Got to say Pink Friday is a really solid album. Very diverse.
Best body of work I listened to in a long time
Got my tour tickets today just in time for my birthday. Purchased PF2 for my closest friends ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so in love with this album 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾
I loved everything about this album!!!
I love all the love Nicki is getting, she's an icon in her own right and I love to see it.
lol… as soon as I saw Nadeska wasn’t there I eye rolled smirked
Thanks for the NODESKA clear up because that's what i said as soon as I seen that the couch was a little skimpy. Great review.
Wow yall hitting the nail on the head! Normalize having hip hop icons and goats. In rock kiss Metallica gun and roses are icons to the genre the older they get. Normalize respect. Period.
THIS
The best versatile album, she knows she’s versatile. She’s giving us a buffet of Onika, Nicky, Roman, Red Ruby, H…..juku Barbie, and more! ✨💖🎀
NICKI IS A ICON
I love the song she did with Monica and keyshia Cole
I think 12-13 songs would’ve been too short and the album wouldn’t hit like it is now
Mann it’s fire 🔥 we love the singing so let go especially with the collaboration 🥰🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✍️😭🫡🫡🫡 her bars is everything
Nadeska would've threw up on that couch with all this Nicki praise lmaoooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣
we love nicki qhe queen
Yes queen Nicki Minaj 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Hi sis ❤️
Im still catching the Bars! She's clever and she has endless flows!!
that track with 50 hit different
Big Up to Rap Life Review! Great content, this year’s been crazy.
Everyone saying she didn’t have a proper rollout she literally released something every Friday until the album came out whether it was vinyls, perfume ect. Honestly if you missed it it wasn’t for you
DOJA only did like 69k and less than 9k pure sales ,
so how is this being considered in the "GREAT SALES' conversation? this usually considered a FLOP 😭
Agree! It’s a flop
Bad bunny is a regeaton genre
Yeah thanks you ebro and team to review the album fire album 🔥
She did a cover for vogue! The single was last time i saw you!
it was a masterpiece ! 💖
NICKI DONE AMAZING CULTURAL RESET🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🫨🫨🫨🫨 hiphop the whole world industry needed this
This Album i didn't have to give it a second to know it was one of her best work this Album is crazy asf i love everything not many artistvcan do that and am a nigga
It’s more around 17 years nicki has been in the game.
I love this Album the Evolution of the Queen period.... Give her flowers😂 Ebro has been her best interview so far. The Bars are crazy this Album is giving everyone what they want. 💅👠💄
Love pink Friday 2 . Good job Nicki
