Nicki Minaj, wearing a pink kimono and drawing a sword - Samurai Nicki

Nicki Minaj: Samurai Nicki + Pink Friday Coming.. Soon

There she is: Nicki Minaj in a new promotional photo that she’s calling “Samurai Nicki.” It’s a great, creative shot. Now if there is a music industry God, or an assistant that handles this aspect of keeping people entertained, it’s part of a campaign for Nicki Minaj’s debut album Pink Friday, tentatively set for release on November 23. Yeah, the album is coming. Unbelievably, Nicki Minaj recently told Honey magazine she really wanted to release Pink Friday next year, but felt pressured to do so by Cash Money ie. Baby.

Her fear? “I don’t feel like people really know me yet.”

Really? How many guest spots/verses on random songs is it going to take? Nicki Minaj is beyond due to release this album. If she waits and longer, she risks cooling off and people (the Barbie army) getting tired of her, before she has a chance to list the first official entry in her discography. Learn Jay-Z’‘s blueprint for a 10+ album career: Don’t waste lyrics. If the history books were shut right now, musically, Nicki Minaj would be known for one great mixtape and some appearances.

Anyway, with Lil Wayne bouncing off Rikers Island in November, he’ll likely want to get on a track or two. That’d be a triumphant move and would surely boost sales. So there is a chance her album will get pushed back and Nicki gets her wish for that 2011 release date. Or maybe, you will still get lucky and instead of Friday, you get a Barbie for Christmas! Hmm, grab the camera, I see another photoshoot

Bad styling. This dress is not kimono. Disgusting!

I also think that her dress is teribbly bad. Just like an imitation of cheap Chiniese dress.

drizzy and nicki make the perfect couple.they’ll be better and richer than mis b and jayz in no time

 

25 Maroi Wed, Oct 27, 2010 - 2:16 pm

ummmm, richer and better than B and J?!!! Yeah minus the class. Drake doesnt really look like he likes Nicki romantically. Mark my word. This is like Ben Affleck and J-Lo’s brief,fabricated relationship. Affleck was A-list Hollywood and J-Lo was barrio at best. Those two werent really a couple. It didnt make sense. Nor would a Drake and Nicki match. But hey if you wanna promote a label (or a bad movie like Ben and J-Lo did) create some pretend romance or other assorted drama.

Now to Nicki, she doesnt know who SHE is yet. Stop wearing the blonde and colorful wigs. Lil Kim already mastered that look. Beautiful, Nicki is. Her rap style is weird, not unique, just weird. like she slips into a drug trip mid rap. She has talent tho. I’d like to see how she transform her image and style….because she must be more than a
an odd, younger reproduction of Lil Kim. Kick Lil Kim to the curb if you wanna but Lil Kim did her own thing…not like any other lady rapper and was smooth and in control. Nicki is just odd, deranged like the boy on The Shining, mumbling “RED RUM, RED RUM”.

OKay look, this is what i have to say to maroi.
Nicki minaj is a trendsetter she is beautiful & talented & unlike lil kim she is different & unique.
TRUE! She is a little weird at times but that’s her you have to be who you wanna be in life and people like you maroi don’[t understand that;so you become a rapper and we will see if you sale BITCH!
