Is it just me or is Nicki Minaj a lot more Black Eyed Peas than Black Thought these days? I’m all about a feel good pop record, but I’d rather it come from someone like Britney Spears than Nicki. The Harajuku Barbie told Ryan Seacrest in an interview that her Red One produced “Starships” off her sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is on of her favorite tracks off the album. Nicki’s sound is changing right before our very ears.

In that same interview with Ryan Seacrest, Minaj said, “It just sounds like a Ryan Seacrest-type of record.” I wasn’t so sure what that meant until I listened to the single.

I told you guys already that Nicki’s not about that hip hop life. “Starships” is a true departure from her exorcism-laced performance of “Roman Holiday.” Nicki told  Seacrest that she just wants to make us dance and have fun.

What do you think of Nicki’s latest single “Starships?”

Are we saying farewell to rapper Nicki Minaj and hello to a new pop phenom?
