In reply to Nicki is queen!!!.

But she said literally just this year that there would be no features on the album. She was looking at Jay Z's The Blueprint (an ACTUAL hip-hop classic) as inspiration and went all over the media talking about how important this album is to rap music, how this was going to be "REAL" hip-hop, etc.
"Real" hip-hop artists don't cling to the breakout pop singer of the year for another hit (and I can guarantee the Ari song WILL be a single by spring), don't use the most generic producer in music for two singles and maybe more, don't use every gimmick possible to create buzz, don't make a softcore porn video just to chart high for a few weeks, break a pointless VEVO record that only stans care about, only for the song to be completely forgotten a month later. Simple as that.
Like I said, she's not doing more than 150-160K in two weeks.
