Nicki Minaj‘s debut album ‘Pink Friday’ easily serves as one of the year’s most anticipated. If you’re one of the few who can’t wait until the LP’s release date (November 22nd) to hear what the Young Money star will be serving up, you’re in luck. ‘Pink Friday’, in its entirety, is available to preview in snippet form.
Take a listen after the jump…
Snippets? Really? I’m not even going to press play. I promise technology is taking all the anticipation and fun out of physically buying music. There was a time where you were excited about buying music and couldnt wait until you heard every track on the cd…not anymore. Sad but true…
very true. i remember those days. sad there still not around
I’m not listening because I WILL be purchasing and I want some suprises from the QUEEN!!!
I know they’re just snippets but I’m not impressed….I’m The Best sounds decent but the rest is blah. Her lyrics are juvenile.
I don’t agree, it prevents you from wasting money on bad albums
Nothing special really cuz was expecting something harder than Missy or Eve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All this damn Singing…I guess I’m gonna have to wait to listen to the entire album….cause based on these snippets -____-
Unless you are a huge fan of an artist or/ and know that a particular artist always produces quality work, then why the hell would you NOT want to listen to at least some of the songs on an album first before buying it (whether it’s through a friend who already bought it or w/e).
solid.
I expected more from this album
I will not be buying it, I was but after hearing these snippets, it didn’t impress me at all. Waste of money.
wowwwww, im smh right now, it really sounds WACK!, WTF, Lyrics..blah, beats…blah, its all over the place, thats crazy, these snippets may actually stray ppl away, NO THANKS!
sounds like garbage
i feel this i really do people today really dont understand music i feel nicki do this will be the fourth album i bought out my entire life thats saying something is trying to tell us something bout her and im going to listen all people want is thecrazy nicki minaj but she trying to show yall she aint just another crazy person with mic she an artist so please just listen please pink friday h**
@ Soulful Roses:
I get what you’re saying, but what happens when the album you were so excited for turns out to be crap? Getting to preview the album before you buy it ensures that you’re not gonna waste money on a bad album, since you obviously can’t get a refund once you buy it. Although sometimes previewing albums in snippets isn’t the best way to judge an album because some songs that don’t sound like anything special in 30-second snippets are actually quite good in their entirety.
Of course, everything I just said applies to the days before illegal downloads became all the rage. Besides, I can play all the songs in their entirety on Grooveshark and YouTube once the album comes out.
And why do all the beats shound SO CHEAP!? I know I’m not the only one who thought that upon hearing these snippets!
Nicki, come this 22nd (just 12-short days), will gain a-WHOLE-LOTTA FANS; and also make a-whole-lotta enemies. (*cough*Camp-Fenty, I’m looking at you*cough*)
“…THEM B****** IS HER SONS…!!”
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!
This album is WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to know why Right Through Me did not go #1.
This look like another CD that is not going to sell.
Til this day Eve is a much better rapper than Nicki . You hear Nicki voice all over the place that it gets annoying. She on everybodies song. She is another one that I am tired of. I was listening to a song with Luda and Eve and I tell you Eve was going in
im afraid to listen, cuz there mix revieews about this album
WTF was this??
I mean it isn’t THAT bad but it isn’t CLASSIC materiel. To be honest, I hit the “cancel” button and canceled my pre-ordered copy. Sorry Nicki but i aint paying money for an album i will only be listening to for at most a month.
WOW… The best songs based on the snippets are the tracks that she did with someone else. Not a good look Niki. mmm I’m not picking this one up. Thats the problem when a person gets hyped up so much…. its hard to meet the expectation.
proud of nicki pretty good , its def not for everyone, thats what makes her special to me, her art cant b liked by everyone or kanye or jay z or kim. its her own i’m copping some sound very promising go nicki
I can’t believe she didn’t bring the heat! I’m mad. I can’t go out and buy it. I’ll download like 3 tracks.
i dont kno about this
I don’t even really like her, but this sounds pretty good to me. It’s not horrible, so…… yeah. Will I be buying it thou, nope. But, I don’t really see anything wrong with the material on it either. It’s personally what I expect from her. Nothing much, nothing more.
Well I won’t be buying this one either that makes 2 no buy. Like I said before Nicki is all over the place on everybodies song and her own CD is not going to sell that well also. I mean every other song played on the radio she is on it.
Im feelin it remind me of some mixtape vibe music straight hood!!!!IM BUYING IT I dont know what yall hearing sounds like yall are newly fans!!!!
LMAO, Is this girl serious all the hype and this lmao, I’m just gonna wait for the first week sales, according to her fans it will be over 400k
None of Nicki songs went to top ten on the BB, your love was not that successfull, massive attack, right through me and RR flopped. Nicki is just not good as a solo artist, she is better on features. These snippets did not blow me away at all, the lyrics are just BLAHHH, no fire nothing.
Well it sounds like she is giving a lot of substance on this album like most of you said she was lacking. But I get it you’d rather have a whole album about s** and and hearing how good she can suck a d***.
Plus she did say this album would be PERSONAL so…
@REXY YOU SOUND DUMB, YOUR LOVE WAS VERY SUCESSFUL, IT WAS NUMBER 13 ON HOT 100 AND NUMBER 1 FOR RAP, BUT OF COURSE THATS FLOPPING TO YOU NUMBERS OBSESSED F***…. I PROMISE YOU HER ALBUM WILL DO WELL LOL YOU ALL ARE JUS A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE IT WILL NOT HURT HER IF YOU DONT BUY
IN MY SHANIA TWAIN VOICE
*THAT DONT IMPRESS ME MUCH*
EITHER WAY SHE WILL BE DOING BETTER THAN YALL LOL
@ Kat Deluna Fan:
I spat out my drink when I read your comment, that was funny!
Nicki will do good #’s (i think) but her reviews will be funny as hell LOL cause THIS??? Chile…
This album is gonna be fiyah, and I can tell judging from these snippets. Every beat goes hard, and if anybody’s saying any different, then you’re seriously a hater, and this is coming from a Non-Nicki Fan.
There have been several albums that I’ve been mislead by snippets on. You get no real sense of the songs. I think its to premature to make decisions on an album without hearing things in their entirety. But I’m feeling the Dear Old Nicki track , Save Me, and Roman’s Revenge. I hope she doesn’t sing whole tracks. Lawd I call on thee.
This is great. 11.22
Sounds OKay, Better than i expected from her, With a cover that gorgeous this could really be a big album seller. Her Urban Fanbase is strong & shes the perfect mix B/W Hardcore & Silly like the new & Improved Female Em & lil Wayne. BTW the only album I would ever buy without hearing a single song 1st is one from Beyonce, to me Quality-Album-Wise noone can tough her especially not in Quantity of Quality(Great) Songs.
Wasn’t blown away, but it was decent. I try not to go by snippets tho.
I love Did It On Em
I love it. She’s giving me everything I want. I can’t wait to hear the deluxe version. Great job Nicki.
I just pre-ordered Pink Friday from megaupload.com!
Where is Massive Attack? That’s the only song of his I liked.
Loud will be available Tuesday, November 16th! You Africans better support your God!
I will watch the Yeah 3X video once y’all show me proof of purchase. Lets help Fist reach a million views!
yoooooooooo say what you want but nicki is that chick right now the snippets all sound great its almost like a breath of fresh air
i heard it, its better than i expected. Theres variety. You can tell that her personal stuff, and were she is doing something diffrent is in the middle. i’ll be buying
HONESTLY IT SOUNDS AVG AT BEST. LOL
I gotta say, it’s not as bad as i expected, from what little was hear, there seems to be a few standout tracks on the album… It’s obvious that she wants to attract a wide audience, which is why she hasn’t released some of her more urban tracks as single to date, which is how she entered the game, we’ll see if this back fires! I can say I don’t like her singing voice at all, she should really pay someone to do that for her!
SPREAD DA WORD @ SPREADDAWORD.COM
Ciara has been looking AMAZING on 106 park All week!
I will pass…. Next!
sounds like s*** only save me sounds okay but the rest sounds like junk
4/10
This album will be a DISASTER!
Moment 4 Lifre and Romans Revenge and Here I Am are the only decent tracks. She will not be getting my money, Str8 download!
I will be buying Kanye and Ne-Yo tho
yeah…this album is gonna flop. #callinitnow
Which one Features Rihanna? Thats all i care about!
I’m LOVING what I hear so far! I can’t wait til November 22nd, man! I’m buying 2 copies cuz I LOVE NICKI! PINK FRIDAY B******!
Yeah… uh.. i’ll just wait for the leak. The instrumental sound like rehashed Young Money beats
I liked Roman’s Revenge, Fly & Moment 4 Life though.
uhhhh thats it????
OVER RATED at it’s finest. fan be real ya selves. this album isn’t really worth it.
Sounds promising to me and I’m not a stan…
Sounds like a bunch of Kim fans on here…
I don’t like the chick to much have to give it to her on other people song she have some nice flow i like your love and that all don’t know why people like her so much when it other out there i was thing this is here 1st cd that she would come hard and i would lean to like her but them snippets smdh was wack she need to push that cd back and start over it no lil kim flow Lauryn hill lyrics or missy beats she try to be all of them in one and i think i even hear some bone thug on the snippets but i don’t care cause even if i like the chick she going to be like the other female rapper bring out a cd or two and be lost or forgot about

Listen, That Was By Far One Of The Best Hip Hop
Album’s I’ve Ever Heared. Nicki Is Goin To Be Huge
After This. Mark My Words! This Girl Is Saying Something
With This Album. And Not In One Way. In Multiple Ways.
The Previews Don’t Display All 3 Of Her Personalities Well.
But They’re There! Trust Me! All I Have To Say is That It Was
A Little Refreshing To Hear Someone Bringing Some Real
Words And Lyrics For A Change. There Are Few Rappers Out
That Do It, And She Can Now Be Viewed As One Of Them. That’s
The One Thing People Need To Pay Attention To With This Debut.
Not Some Other B*******! I’ll Definitely Be Following Nicki Throughout
Her Entire Career As Between All Of Her Bad Ass Collaborations And
The Way Shines On Each And Every One, Then This, I’m Covinced,
She’s Different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The album sounds GREAT i bet someone a hundred dollars she gone outsell kanye west and the rest of yall F*ck off
this sounds horrible ughh i was expexting so much more especially hearing RR…but this?? i will not be purchasing besides she’s getting annoying anyway tired of all the split personalities
Blazin, Dear Old Nicki, Save Me, Last Chance, Did it On Em, and Fly all sound good.
I already love Roman’s Revenge and Right Thru me is starting to grow on me.
I hate Check it Out and Your Love. Those 2 songs are so WACK and GENERIC.
I like Nicki because she is not doing the normal “ima talk about s** and sell my body” like many female rappers before her. Like someone said earlier this album sounds like it will actually have a lot of substance.
And I belive this album will give us reason to stop comparing her to Lil Kim because they are obviously different artist music wise. This girl is no Lauryn Hill but I see her going places with this album. I like. I already Pre-Ordered it on Itunes and it seems like I won’t be disappointed.
Also this is the first time I am legally buying an album that isn’t Beyonce, Alicia Keys, or Usher.
So she would wanna deliver.
not impressed.
…idk i guess cause it sounds like a young money mixtape or some s***
NICKI GARBAJ IS OFFICIALLY HER NAME I SOOOOO CANT WITH THIS TRASH ASS ALBUM
Anyone who compares Nicki to Kim is crazy. Nicki’s features and mixtapes give that impression but even these snippets show that this album will be incredibly heartfelt and personal. I love Kim but let’s be honest, she does not release personal music.
I really love the different varieties – songs that are personal and more piano influenced like “Save Me”, “Here I Am”, “Fly”. Then there are the hard rap songs like “Did It on’em”, “Blazin'”, “Roman’s Revenge” – but the truth is that this album seems very beautiful and heartfelt. I’m glad that we get to “meet” everyone – Nicki who’s her normal rap (“Blazin'”, “Dear Old Nicki”), Roman (“Roman’s Revenge”, “Did It on’em”) and Onika (“Here I Am”, “Save Me”). It’s just really amazing that Nicki can rap but still has a heart and really is showing herself and baring all on this reocrd.
Definitely buying this for Black, I mean Pink, Friday.
I’m most excited to hear “Here I Am” – sounds epic.
“love Kim but let’s be honest, she does not release personal music.”
That h** music she does is personal. Everything she raps about applies to her trashy lifestyle.
THIS S*** IS WACK ITS A GOOD THING KANYE WEST ALBUM WILL BE COMING OUT ON THE SAME DAY AND HE GONNA TAKE OVER CAUSE THIS S*** SUCKSSSSSSSSS WHO WOULD HATE ON THIS LAME ASS S*** THIS H** IS NO QUEEN OF RAP DONT SEE IT…
I do not think that this album will sell a lot, she only works when she is a featured artist (any longer than 40s then she ceases to be interesting) but then again I thought the exact same thing about Drake and he suprised me.
Fail
CHECK ME OUT DANCING TO CIARA’S ‘GIMMIE DAT’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKVafyhRNqs
I Agree with @Ririloud you said everything i wanted to say this album sound great a great mix of hard hitting beats and beautiful melodies gotta love minaj
Loving Nicki is one thing. Anyone saying Kim has not made personal music is either lying or ill informed.
I really cannot believe y’all based ur opinions on a couple of 30 second segments, SERIOUSLY… what can you hope to achieve from listening to this? I am not going to listen to the preview as I am already a BIG fan… Nicki Minaj is exactly what the industry needs right now, she’s different, sassy and s*** without looking or sounding cheap….this album is gunna be the s***! I swear just wait and see! 2010 is a great year for music, with Nicki, Kanye, Jazmine and the Beyonce world tour live album! I for one am EXTREMELY EXCITED! Roll on The end of November…all my pre-orders are waiting to be delivered!
I don’t know about this one. But I like ‘Save Me’ because it sounds like a nice ballad.
Sidenote: Rihanna will be featured on the song ‘Fly’
Ok…Now….Who said “Pink Friday” should be compared to “The Notorious K.I.M” ?
This is FAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR away from being a “Classic” album (check Missy’s albums, Foxy Brown’s album…these were classics..nicki where u @?) !!! I have to be honest here !
Nicki, with all your features & mixtapes, is it what u’r giving us ??? C’mon Nicki who r u fooling! Sorry from the snippets I just heard, I’ll give a 5/10 !
I cant wait to PURCHASE this! I love it just off the snippets along! If you are a fan than you will be please because she giving you everything! Love it
LOL @ these snippets being heartfelt…Nicki fans are BAT S*** CRAZY! These snippets sound horrible and LMAO @ trying to say Kim is trashy and Nicki is heartfelt. Nicki is as cheap as it gets. The cheapness of Nicki is all ASS…just like the sound of these snippets!
Man o Man, I truly believe this is going be one of the biggest albums of 2010!!
First all it’s personal & relateble. I haven’t heard any album relatable in so long and truly personal. Everyone always say she not talking about anything or she screaming and yelling bout nothing. But now that she’s actually saying something, some people still aren’t satisfy. Nicki is giving you folks real music, real experiences etc… But I guest you all were looking for her to talk about all s** & weed & drinks and every female she can think of. Smh!!
Anywayz there’s not one song I dont like from the snippets and that’s real talk. Trust me When I predict something it always comes true and nicki minaj is going to sell close to a half million or more trust me. Also it’s going debut at number 1. Kanye to much in this news right now and we know if nicki out sell him, he going be on every news channel crying like a b**** about how everyone don’t appreciate goodmusic Smh!!!
Anywayz it’s #pinkfridayhoe P.S Nicki going kill so many female rappers careers with this album hahahahaha. Watch the Billboards everyone
All yall b****** gonna be gaggin when Nicki hits # 1!…Yall Cant Take Her!!!! Lol…She’s gonna be laughing all the way to the bank!
@Speaks Truth #Cosign 100%

I dont understand how people judge off of snippets……
SO READY FOR PINK FRIDAY! YA’LL STRAWBERRY BUM BROADS TAKE NOTE!
& I’M DONE……………
I actually like Nicki…I do. But this album….not so much. Its very “Pop”, and I’m one for pop. I’m jus not understanding the direction they’re tryna go with this. I will stay a fan, but I’m not buying the album….
HOTTTT!!!!!!
cant wait to this album hit im happy to see a female doing her thing, and not worryed abt a hater, so keep it nicki the album sounds great, and real
-__-
I’m disappointed Nick. I’m convinced that you cant make a full hot album smh
this isn’t something i can listen to for more than a week. cant waste my money on this. sorry
@RiRiLOUD
speaks the truth!!
All I’m going to say is…………. When the next Mariah, or Whitney comes out, come see me, tried of hearing half ass albums, from half assed artist!!
Ima be getting my copy 1st day.. The haters will too trust me. Its cooler to say u dislike things these days than to say u do so backhanded compliments towards an artist or just plain hate is to be expected.. Shows she’s alot of peoples guilty pleasure
The idea that previews ruin the purchasing-the-album experience is a silly one. Record stores, for new releases, have listening posts where customers can listen to the album.
I cant really get a good feel for the album by these snippets and thats not necessarilly a bad thing. All I can go by is the beats and melody from these snippets. I do see that its going to be different from many other mainstream rap albums and that same plus. So tired of the same tired formulas.
But judging from these snippets I think its something u can play from start to finish because of the versatility. Im getting her album and I rarely do. I’ll get kanyes too, but gotta support the females first.
They haven’t put the 5 deluxe tracks as snippets.
Nicki your stans are relying on you.. Kim is waiting too to see if ‘Pink Friday’ will be ‘Whack Friday’
