Grade: B-
After receiving countless shout-outs from other hip-hop artists and holding her own rapping alongside industry giants like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kayne West, Nicki Minaj finally has an album to call her own. The latest sensation turning hip-hop on its head, Minaj’s debut album “Pink Friday” showcases all her raw talent and wild attitude. To be fair, “Pink Friday” isn’t as solid from start to finish as some of her other collaborative work has been. At times the album suffers, but overall it’s is a good indication that Minaj is only going to get better.
