Nicki Minaj Drops Hint about her Debut Album

Rapper Nicki Minaj took to Ustream last night and revealed the title of her highly anticipated debut album. The Young Money rapper has dubbed her debut album Pink Friday, set for release on November 23, the Tuesday before Black Friday in the U.S. That is traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year when Americans flock to stores to begin their Christmas shopping. "To carry on a great tradition of Black Friday, we are going to switch it up this year in honor of the Nicki Minaj album and call that day Pink Friday, and call my album Pink Friday," Nicki announced in her British accent. She then signed off with her signature greeting. 
  Young Money’s Nicki Minaj made her name as a chameleon, with an ever-changing look and a pliable character enhancing tracks from Usher, Mariah Carey, and Christina Aguilera, just to name a few.

  With her debut album, she’s finally making a solo splash, and this week rode addictively-Autotuned second single “Your Love” to No. 1 on Billboard’s rap charts. The track samples the 1995 Annie Lennox hit “No More I Love Yous,” but Minaj — who was a pre-teen when that song came out — says she barely knows Lennox’s music. “I was a fan of her fashion,” Minaj says. “I was so little [in her heyday], so I just remember her image. That particular song stood out, because that beat is insane.”
  She’ll happily elaborate on the project as a whole. “The album is much more emotional than you anticipate, which is a great thing,” Minaj says. “And I know women are gonna connect to the album so much. I felt like for so many years I was the girl who did the catchy little raps, and it’s time for me now to tell my story, and in telling my story, I’m really telling every girl’s story. We all go through the same thing. So the album is gonna feel very personal to every female.”
