"No friends in the game." Is it a coincidence that the Game is in the video, or was he chosen because of this one line?Ĩ.

Was she holding the Game's severed yet still functioning head? Or did it just unintentionally look like that? I love how he just looks mildly perturbed by it, rather than horrified or, you know, dead.ħ. Okay, now she's rapping, this is what I came here for.Ħ. Those silvery foil tears look beautiful, but it would have been even more impressive if they could have somehow animated them using practical effects instead of CGI.ĥ. If it's not coming from him, it's most likely poisonous gas, which he should be more concerned about than he appears to be.Ĥ. Probably mint or something.ģ. I have no idea what that purple stuff coming out of the Game's back is, but he should get it checked out, because that doesn't happen to normal people. They were all white, after all, and I don't even know if they make white Pez, or what flavor that would even be. Was that rabbit supposed to be catching the Pez? Or maybe those are the titular pills. Her verse on Kanye West's "Monster" was the best thing about My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but she's a pretty good singer, too.Ģ. After that beat in the beginning, I was expecting Nicki to burst out of the gate rapping, but I guess not. Here are my initial impressions of the video after watching it just one time.ġ. And if Pills N Potions is any indication of that, it makes me very happy to see what The Pinkprint has in store.Today, Nicki Minaj released the video for her song "Pills N Potions," a single from her upcoming album The Pink Print. Luke and Circuit, really gives Minaj the platform to set the stage for what is to come. Overall, this song could be one of Minaj’s best yet. The public has seen Minaj strip herself clean of the wigs and the costumes just so she can truly re-invent herself and go back to her earlier mixtape days. This change that is going on during the song really sums up her transformation as an individual in the past few months. Minaj goes very deep with this song by rapping about the people that have wronged her, but in the end of it all, she still loves and forgives. Her smooth rapping and meaningful lyrics go against some of her most recent releases like Chi-Raq and Yasss Bish. As she progresses into the next verse, it is apparent that the Nicki Minaj that most people fell in love with, has returned. She sings, “Pills and potions/ We’re overdosing/ I’m angry but I still love you.” Right off the bat, Minaj sets a serious precedent for the song, which never falters throughout the rest of it. Minaj quickly begins to use her soft singing voice for the chorus of song.

The song opens up with a simple drum beat and piano in the background. Complex Magazine even called the track “a monster of a song.” However, here’s what I had to say…

She kept to her word and released her new single, Pills N Potions, to the public on Wednesday of this week. In the promotional song, Yasss Bish, Minaj gave fans a hint that her single would be dropping in the next couple of weeks. For the past few months, Nicki Minaj has been teasing her fans over the release of her first single from her third album, The Pinkprint.
