4. Cowgirl
Minaj brings along Lourdiz for a sensual song that offers fans of indie-pop Nicki what they have been asking for.

3. Super Freaky Girl
The most pop song on the project is also one of the best. Minaj samples Rick James and offers a perfect blend of recognizable instrumentals but with a fresh take only Nicki can deliver.

2. Red Ruby Da Sleeze
With 22 tracks ‘Pink Friday 2’ can be a bit bloated at times and sluggish, but Nicki is her most focused and direct on this takedown track of the haters. Delivering some of her best bars in years, it is a true standout on the album.

1. Are You Gone Already
The first sounds on ‘Pink Friday 2’ is Nicki playing with her son, setting the tone for the track. Sampling Billie Eilish’s ‘When The Party’s Over,’ Minaj is at her most vulnerable and profound, offering a side to her that has not been seen previously.

I’m getting cold up here on the shelf 🙁
I actually like the one with j.cole.
For those who were craving another pop-rap anthem like Super Bass there’s Everybody & Pink Friday Girls. I know many peeps were hoping for tracks like Starships and Pound The Alarm but I think she choose to cut down off those because they were really pop and might’ve wanted a balance of urban, hip-hop & pop.
(LMAO if any of the other girls released this album they would be scalped!)
