The N.Y. Times just called her the pre-eminent female rapper of all time. And while that doesn't say much--though supporters of Lil' Kim, MC Lyte, Foxy Brown and Missy Elliott might disagree--Nicki Minaj's sophomore Young Money/Cash Money/ Universal Republic album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, will debut at #1 next week, with between 200-225k in sales. That's based on one-day reports from our crack network of online retailers and those selling CDs from the back of their car trunks. (Hits Daily Double)






Last week, I predicted it would sell between, 270-400k; so i am not too far from the truth. Her first album, Pink Friday dropped late 2010, and sold 375k first week. In an era where so much attention is placed on first week sales, are we to say that this album is not as good as the first? Personally, i think she tried to satisfy everyone on this album, tilting more to the white population, and i guess it didn't quite work. This is a schizophrenic album if you would ask me.
