Interestingly someone tweeted Nicki asking if she would still continue making pop music like Starships after her new re-release and she said no. Will her Urban fanbase who stopped buying her music after she went pop "use" her again? Overall i think its a good decision.

Since then she has come to terms with the fact she makes pop music
I love Va Va Voom, Superbass, Pound The Alarm, Stupid Hoe, Masquerade, wig snatching, POP Nicki!
Imagine if she had stuck to her sound and the music she originally wanted to release. I think sales would be lower but she'd be far more credible than she is now.
Ohhh, where can I see/ watch this.
Because it wasn't pop music that got her career. Listen to her mix tapes and debut album. She is suppose to be a rapper.
Im confident still do a few pop/hip-hop crossover songs like Superbass and Va Va Voom she just means no more full on dance songs like Starships.
It's risky to try and regain the hip/hop crowd she previously alienated, by turning her back on the pop mainstream who gave her popularity. She may be burning the wick at both ends there, leaving her with a smaller fanbase who like both.
The only thing she can really do at this point is to make the strongest hip hop album she can possibly make and hope for the best.
Her hip hop fans made her famous. Nicki got famous around 2009 time, her first pure pop hit (not counting Where Them Girls At or Turn Me On) was Starships in 2012.
The best course for Nicki to take now would be to release poppy hip hop songs like Super Bass and her Dr. Luke collabs. Then both her hip hop and pop fans will like the songs. That's what she was doing in 2010/2011.
However, I do think she may have done so much damage now that the situation could be beyond repair. But she needs to NEVER do split pop/urban singles again. Always use the same song for all formats from now on. Things would be so different for her now if she released Va Va Voom instead of Starships.
Except a lot of her hip hop peers have a lot more money than her...
Agree with this. Although I knew who Nicki was in 2008 and to be fair she was always crazy than as that nutter Barbie alter ego she had before Roman. However she will have no problem is going back to hip hop and being successful within hip hop because she has all the right people behind her. She is Young Money. Plus Pink Friday fused pop and hip hop together anyway so its not like she completely changed tack. Half of Roman's Reloaded was hip hop. She just focused more on the dance tracks as singles so her fanbase who followed Nicki for who she really was is still intact. She may loose the pop floaters but its not a bad situation for her.
She's not a fecking dumbass.
