They say you have your whole life to record your debut album but if hip pop rapper Nicki Minaj doesn’t strike while the iron’s hot, people just might not care anymore. According to the NY POST, The Harajuku Barbie has scraped previously recorded tracks from her debut album because it no longer reflects who she is now. Goes Here
Her first single, “Massive Attack,” generated huge buzz thanks to a flashy video by Hype Williams that landed it in the R&B charts. But now fans expect more from the rapstress, which may take time, since she admits she hasn’t gotten around to recording any other tracks yet.
“Mmmmm no,” she laughs slyly. “I wish! But you know, the stuff that I’ve done — it doesn’t really reflect me anymore, so I want to have an entirely new body of work.”
The bombastic, siren-fueled “Massive Attack” isn’t necessarily a good indication of where she’s headed, she adds. “ ‘Massive Attack’ is just one facet of what the album may sound like. I didn’t want to come out with the basic rap record that everybody expects from a female.”
To that end, Minaj is working with new producers and re-evaluating the way she presents herself. “It’s a certain kind of swag that’s changed in me,” she says. “I want to be more aggressive.”
