Background
The creation of this mixtape was inspired by Kim's feud with Nicki Minaj. The cover of the mixtape, featuring a
decapitated Nicki Minaj, was a fan's idea.[4] The mixtape's title is a play on Minaj's debut album Pink Friday. The music video for the title track was released on November 26, 2010.[5]
Critical reception
Black Friday was heavily panned by
The Source wrote that "I know it's a dated name ... but I don't think it's that crazy as far as appealing to her hardcore fan base". Jozen Cummings of XXL wrote facetiously, "It's not that we refuse to pay for music, we'd just much rather have an option to not do it. If you force any price tag on us without giving us a decent amount of free music to sample from, we're scoffing at that $9.99".[8]
