2 Epic CDs Released in One Day...


Today marks an epic day for these 2 women in the music industry...
In my personal music library, both Rihanna and Nicki Minaj are a mainstay. I love them both...Rihanna's hard edges & her "I don't give a f***" attitude along with Nicki's wild and craziness are perfect for me, especially when I need a little "pick me up".

Both albums were released to today...

Now for a few personal thoughts...I previewed both ladies' CDs on iTunes...


Unapologetic
This girl can spit out some cuss words! Whew! "Phresh Out The Runway", the very 1st track is amaze-balls!! But the track every one will run to for sure is "Nobody's Business" featuring Chris Brown. It sounds so old school, very nice to groove out to. However, I'm sure critics will be super analyzing the lyrics to this one, just because C-Breezy is on it. I think my personal favorite will be "Loveeeeee Song" featuring Future, partly because I get to actually hear Rihanna sing a bit, and I like Future too! Nonetheless, some of her lyrics seem kind of unsettling, but doesn't it make you curious to listen? It's like getting a small peek into a side of her that she doesn't show to the public. 7 albums in 7 years and only 24 years old!!



Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded The Re-Up
Let me just say I was a huge fan of "MixTape Nicki". Then she went mainstream and...ugh! Everynow and then I hear bits and pieces of that underground flow she used to have. And I must say, for this album, I can hear even more of it slipping out. Come on out Nicki! We mix tape lovers miss you! After watching her TV special "Nicki Minaj: My Truth", I'm ready for this album. "High School" featuring Lil Wayne starts with that old Nicki that i grew to love "spittin" straight out the gate. It got me excited!! But Ladies...I must tell you, my favorite track is absolutely going to be "I'm Legit" featuring Ciara! The hook got me! Here's a snippet..


...I'm the s*** with no makeup
don't have to curl my hair up...

...I know I'm cute, I know I'm fly, 
you ask me why, cuz I'm the s***...

Ok, if you are not a fan of either one of these young ladies, then this post probably didn't interest you at all. I do apologize if this makes you feel any kind of way but happy...either way, thanks for reading!!
