“All Things Go” is effective enough, even one of the album’s highlights, but relative to the rest of the album, it’s as straightforward as it gets. We probably shouldn’t ask her to perform the song live too often it already visibly crushed her on Saturday Night Live two weekends ago. (The song also opens the album’s accompanying short film, preceding the thematically similar “I Lied” and “Grand Piano”.) The opening song, “All Things Go”, couldn’t be any clearer in its purpose, even if the details are fuzzy: From an engagement to a possible abortion/miscarriage to the tension between her and her mother, these are things Minaj needed to vent about ASAP. The first we heard from The Pinkprint was “Pills n Potions”, a stripped-back, melancholy song alluding to the temporary relief of self-medicating. Capsules and elixirs are strewn elsewhere on the album, too, but mostly, The Pinkprint is about confronting troubles rather than sighing them away for a night - sometimes literally, like on “The Crying Game”, where Minaj remembers wanting to Ronda Rousey her man during God knows how many arguments. Even when she’s rattling off words at a dizzying rate that guests like Meek Mill would struggle to top, she’s first and foremost looking to tidy up the messiness of her situation - and never before has Minaj defined her situation in such intimate detail.

Often enough on her third album, The Pinkprint, the 32-year-old flashes the staggering rap technique that caused her 2007 to 2009 mixtapes to blow up, but ultimately, she plays the role of a lovelorn songwriter instead of a rapper or even a rapper- slash-singer.
