How can the person who wrote this piece be confused? it's obvious really. She is capturing the attention of the masses with a pop friendly hit, "Starships," capitalizing on the momentum of her first Album, by keeping the "superbass-ness" of her previous LP alive. Meanwhile she will fill her album with hip hop tracks, no doubt partly fueled by an attempt to silence her naysayers who deem he as "not hip hop" (Bang my click Bang, hear Roman Reloaded). Her fan-base, new and old enjoy the more classic hip hop aspect of her as well and will come out to support her, the same way Wayne gets his fans to do so, and Kanye, and Jay-z. It is much easier for a female to cross and perhaps blend the lines of "hard," "edgy" and "sweet. At this rate she might be the first female rap global Pop star. Her whole branding and marketing is to the point and smart.
