The Pinkprint is the third studio album by American recording artist Nicki Minaj; it was released on December 12, 2014, by Young Money, Cash Money and Republic Records. Looking to depart from the dance-pop elements from her second studio album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), Minaj wanted to make a follow-up record influenced by her traditional hip hop beginnings. Birdman, Lil Wayne, and Ronald "Slim" Williams were the executive producers of the record, and assisted Minaj (a co-executive producer herself) in achieving her desired sound.
Music critics commended The Pinkprint for its overall production and cohesiveness, and recognized it as Minaj's strongest project to date. It debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 244,000 copies (198,000 in pure album sales and 46,000 in album-equivalent units and streams). In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number 22 on the UK Albums Chart.
