    As a barb I’m so proud of Nicki. To be in this industry for 15 years and still one of the best selling female artist is a win. And with all the negative things it comes with being in the music industry I would’ve said F this I prefer peace! But I love Nicki’s resilience. You can tell she has a passion for rap she actually study hip hop. These new girls just rap for popularity or just something to get them money. But Nicki prefects her craft and takes it serious. I know it’s overwhelming for her with all the constant hate and criticism but she still going strong for her fans because she actually care about us. I hope she never fall out of love with being Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj is irreplaceable, authentic, creative, outspoken, brave, passionate, bold and inspiring.

      Unfortunately as a man i can’t fan for Nicki like we did Kim and Foxy Brown- HOWEVER, Every female rapper literally is given 10 hot years! And Within those 10 years they may drop about 3-5 solid albums; with 2 being classics!! Nicki is now on Year 15 and still pumping out music and with the latest being a great body of work and moving NUMBERS over the new girls! It’s time to strategize come up with a plan cos unfortunately Cardi may not be the savior!! She dropped 1 album - 6 years ago!! Where’s #2? Only Lauryn Hill can pull that off!!!
      I hate to see Nicki going out bad with her personal life and all the other antics but this should set the tone!!!

Never once cut Nicki off, didn't try to lead, just let the interview flow. Kudos to Joe for that! I loved when Nicki talked about the skills, pockets, flows, melodies, and everything required to create quality music. Nicki is definitely 1:1 because she cares about the craft and has such a passion and love for her work. Damn, Hip hop went from the most influential genre in music to 40% is crazy!

It's just a conversation with one of the homies, "in interview form." That's what separates him from the rest. It's authentic. Being someone from the music industry, he understands that importance. You won't find a better interview during her press run for this album.

It’s refreshing to hear some good hip-hop music, where she’s talking about real shit, but also having fun. Great album. She’s proven once again why she is miles ahead of the other girls…. 5th album & still breaking records.

      @@sherryhoward7298 I think when you look at people like Whitney Houston or Madonna people respect them because they’re undeniably brilliant at what they do. Nicki’s in the same category regarding hiphop but she only gets respect mostly from her male peers and that’s a weird phenomenon. Diana Ross had the same issue with Motown, she’s one of the biggest selling artists of all time, sold more records than the Beatles in the 60’s yet still gets hate from other female contemporary artists from her own label.

I’ve always respected her artistry and thought she was a true lyricist but could never bring myself to listen to a whole album of. Admittedly, not even the first Pink Friday🫣. I think I really only listened to PF2 bc my niece had it playing. And baby, I’m in love 😍!

As for Joe, he's been my favorite personality since the beginning of his podcast in 2015 and I always appreciate his attention to detail when it comes to performing a great show for the fans, whether on stage rapping or on the mic talking. Whenver these two get together, it's a great look into what makes Nicki tick, what makes her smile and what makes her continue to shine throughout the dark times in her life. Plus, it brings so much joy as a Nicki fan to see her legacy be praised by someone cut from that same cloth like Joe, which is why their conversations will always be my favorite.

I wish i would’ve tweeted it when i had the chance because she definitely would’ve interacted. I love this Nicki she’s overcome so much losing her father really hurt her but she chose to be vulnerable with us instead of shutting us out of that time in her life . Vogue with papa bear and the fact that Ana asked to have him . Omg that opportunity was big for Nicki so just imagine when he’s knowledgeable of something so groundbreaking.

No gimmicks, huge budget, controversy...just allowing people enjoy the album and songs. She's so ahead of her time.

    Nicki’s album is fire 🔥 every track is a hit! Nicki did her thing and I am so proud of her. Joe did his thing with this interview.

    I really like Joe’s outfit. It’s giving early 2000s neo-soul.

    This so far is the interview that really made me want to listen to her album. I love listening to a body of work not just hit. Pink Friday is no skip album and because of this interview I can listen to PF2 with a better understanding the passion behind each song. 💕
