Now that the release date of Nicki Minaj's The Pinkprint has been announced, we'll probably be seeing a lot more of the "Anaconda" rapper than we already have been recently, starting with the cover of Dazed magazine. In the latest issue of Dazed, Minaj graces the cover looking far more subdued and domestic than she's ever dared to be before, and yet she still makes it work.

Two different Dazed covers have been made available: one featuring Minaj in a fuzzy pink sweater/jacket while sitting at a kitchen table in front of a half-made white bread sandwich, and one featuring her sitting out by the pool in rain boots, a raincoat, and a far more revealing outfit underneath. Though she seems to be going for a suburban housewife look in this shoot, she looks just as intense as she ever has, if not more.

The two covers are part of an 18-page shoot by photographer Jeff Bark and Dazed fashion director Robbie Spencer. According to the Dazed website, the shoot also features an interview in which "Ms Minaj lets loose on everything from fame to feminism."

A brief behind-the-scenes video for the Dazed photo shoot was also made, which you can check out over at the Dazed website.

Nicki Minaj's next album The Pinkprint is set for release on Nov. 24. Two singles have been released from the album so far: "Pills n Potions" and "Anaconda."
