“This fan-artist dynamic represents an odd inversion of the conventional distribution of power between a famous person and the people who follow her. ‘It’s like a lion with their cubs,’ one Barb told Rolling Stone. ‘A female lion with her cubs, you don’t mess with the babies, and Nicki is our baby.’
“If Minaj is that fragile, she does not explore this quality explicitly in her music. Earlier this month, she released her latest studio album, ‘Queen.’ In her lyrics, Minaj positions herself as being as dominant as ever in her career, if a bit tortured in her romantic life. She guards her throne intensely, though not always convincingly. Her default mode is chest-beating, and she raps constantly about her reign as though it will last forever, no matter how many young female insurgents aim to replace her. ‘They’ll never toe to toe on a track with me / There’ll never be another one after me / ’Cause the skill level still just a half of me,’ she raps on ‘LLC,’ a hard-spitting song on which she plays her familiar trick of beginning a verse at a slow, measured pace before suddenly shifting into double time to drive her point home.
“Anyone who has caught one of Minaj’s many guest verses on various prominent rap songs of the past decade will be able to anticipate this technique. Early in her career, Minaj made waves with her elastic vocal capabilities, inhabiting a range of styles. Following her guest verse on Kanye West’s ‘Monster,’ in which she effortlessly alternated between the impish and the demonic, she was widely considered hip-hop’s most exciting new vocalist. Her range made her palatable on many kinds of songs: trap rap, bubblegum pop, and moody, melodic R. & B. It has been nearly four years since her previous album, ‘The Pinkprint,’ but ‘Queen’ does not reflect the passage of time. It uses the same template as her first three albums—a lengthy, base-covering mix of gymnastic, barbed rap verses and introspective lite pop, studded with playful winks and of-the-moment appearances by collaborators.”
