On Monday,the “Harajuku Barbie” Nicki Minaj hopes to pull a ‘massive attack’ on the Billboard charts when her debut album, Pink Friday, drops. She will have some heavy competition since Kanye West is releasing his fifth and highly anticipated “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” on the same day, as well as Jay-Z’s Hits Collection Vol. 1. Being that Minaj has made her mark this year doing collaborations with just about every prime player in the industry, will she fall short when she has to take the lead on her debut? “Between her strong guest appearances and ability to make pop crossover records, anticipation is high,” said Jermaine Hall, Editor-in-Chief of Vibe Magazine. “She was able to claim the best verse on a song (Monster) featuring Jay-Z and Kanye West. That’s no small feat for any rapper—male or female.”
