After months of speculation, Nicki Minaj finally shared the release date for her highly-anticipated album The Pinkprint. Her third studio release is set to drop in October, and already boasts two hit singles in "Pills N Potions" and "Anaconda," the latter record climbing as high as No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 since being released last month. In a year that has been relatively quiet of major rap releases, Nicki Minaj has the opportunity to own 2014.
Kanye West made headlines this week as well when the rapper was rushed to a hospital after suffering an "intense" migrane following a pick-up game of basketball with his friends. At the time, Kanye was in the middle of his Australian leg of the "Yeezus" tour, scheduled to perform back-to-back nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Thankfully, the Chicago rapper made it through the minor health scare just fine.
