Then it was Thank Me Later. It was this big pressure, and that went on to sell what it did.
“And now,” he continued, “to think of the girl that I used to ride the bus with — and that’s what she was to me: this girl that I rode the bus with. I was like, ‘Female rap?’ And I’m being dead honest with you. I thought, ‘Man, it’s been a while since there’s been a female rapper, and I’m curious to see how this works.’
