Step Inside Nicki Minaj's Personal Life with "All Things Go"
Yesterday, Nicki Minaj tweeted that "All Things Go" is one of the two most emotional tracks on The Pinkprint, her upcoming third album. Now the song's here, and although we haven't heard the record yet, it's astonishing to hear Nicki spit so much personal material.
While Nicki's album-openers have so far been bombastic/introspective ("I'm the Best" off 2010's Pink Friday) and cuckoo/theatrical ("Roman Holiday" off 2012's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded), "All Things Go" is low-key, mournful and confessional. The beat comes from all-star producer Boi-1da and frequent collaborator Vinylz, and it surprisingly samples Sufjan Stevens' "Chicago" (which repeats the phrase "all things go" throughout).
