in the singing part. ;)

she doesn't have to sing but she can if she wants too. In the pinkprint Tour she sings the night is still young live
I know lol I'm not trying to bash Nicki but that lip sync ruins the whole performance for me personally.
Pink Friday will forever be her best work.

Irrelevant people don't get praised for having their album be one of the best in 2014. Try again ;)
I wouldn't say she is Irrelevant, cause she has a lot of fame, more then just about 90% of the rap game. But Billboards is very bias, and most of the time it goes by record sales, streaming, publicity, companies that are backing the artists. I can name many albums better then her's that came out that year, but just didn't get the same recognition when taking into account everything I mentioned.

RTJ2
Pinata
Prhyme
The Water
PTSD
Dark Comedy
36 seasons
Cilvia Demo

And so many more, albums that I would put above hers. But just my opinion. Keep repping.

All award shows are biased

@bold: They may be to you but that isn't the point lol. A lot of people recognized her album as one of the best her critics, her fans, and reviewers.

No I'm actually not saying just to me (tho I do enjoy those more), I take into consideration concept, lyrics, flow, skills, reviews, underground respect, production, effort, and most importantly, impact.

Another point is, just like you said that I consider those albums better, you even mentioned "her" people considered it better. Well of course fans are going to consider her the best. When it comes to critics, not as much however, Run the Jewels 2, which in my opinion was one of the best rap albums of this decade, that came in 2014, So when it comes to actual critics, the pinkprint was rather poor compared to the others, it had a lot of views, and acclaim, but that is as I said before, a lot of promotion, and famous people backing it up, plus features on the album that attracts many different people, of course it will get more air time.

And I've seen enough online reviews to come to the conclusion it wasn't that good of an album. Her album might be one of the best, for her own discography, but for hip-hop itself? Nah, tho, It seems like it did well in the mainstream market, that is all that matters to her. I doubt she drops albums to create concepts, more like she wants to create singles to sell. She is a good musician, sort of like Drake. But a Hip-Hop album, and artists, so many variables are taken into place that I just don't see it matching up.

Opinions are opinions tho, keep repping ^^ Noni out
