[sbaiden]

As long as I'm hearing some raps...im good. The pop stuff has got to stop.

will this be released by summer?

[WeezyMinaj]

Nicki was in the studio with several producers last week, one of them was Sermstyle (the producer of Timber). Don't worry though, she won't go pop again

thats true if it drops tommorrow but i think in a few months it should grow to an appropriate following

[IAmChristian_]

yea if it dropped tomorrow it would flop.

yeah, but its not... she's not gonna drop it around the same time of C5. give it a month or two after C5 is released, then her shit will be poppin'

Wtf? It was on the all the most anticipated albums of 2014 list and it got mad hype just not here but there has only been one promo single. People are really excited for this album. Watch it be a huge success

lol you're acting delusional. The Re-Up got promo when there were singles, release date, cover. This album doesn't have a cover, a release date or an official single.
The Re-Up was a re-release, that never sells a lot of copies. Pink Friday sold 375k first week, RR sold something like 225k and this one will probably sell 350-450k first week, watch it. The hype will start when it has a cover and an official single. Also there already is hype, just not visible for you. Where's the hype for C5 then? there isn't really either apart from here on LWHQ just because we haven't ot a single or cover yet

iTunes just announced this. People think it's Nicki...

No, it won’t be available on Spotify, or any other streaming service. Not on the album release date, and maybe never.

Which is exactly how Apple is structuring this deal, according to executives sharing preliminary details with Digital Music News. ”[iTunes] and Beyoncé are very happy with the results of that exclusive,” one source close to Apple shared at SXSW, referring to the ground-breaking launch several months ago. ”So you’re going to see something similar coming up, [unnamed artist] really likes the idea.”


“I’m not sure it will top Beyoncé, but it will be ‘Beyoncé-esque’ let’s just say.”

In terms of release strategy, the artist under discussion is deciding the best way to release, with a well-orchestrated, pre-release notification to fans more likely than a flat-out surprise.


But one thing is certain, according to our sources: this artist will be working direct-to-fan channels like Twitter, email, Facebook, SMS and several other channels ‘very aggressively,’ with ‘special giveaways and bonuses’ for the most dedicated and interested fans.

“[The artist] really likes what Beyoncé did, the independence of it. Streaming might come later, but that isn’t decided yet.”


[...]


“[The artist] feels there are compensation problems [on streaming platforms like Spotify].”
