So are the tracks with Cam, Weezy and Nas even worth listening? I D/L'ed and will put on the itunes but usually I cant willingly play an entire Nicki tracks unless I've previously heard and can tolerate it.

Smh @ the lot of you haters. Nicki brought a solid album. What y'all mad cuz she ain't dropping none of that "Mixtape Nicki". That sh don't sell on the Mainstream market. Nicki put half Rap then the rest being #1's.
Here's the Billboard review on the album:
http://www.billboard.com/...d-track-1006612752.story
Which "Roman Reloaded" track will lead Nicki Minaj to the chart domination she and her Young Money team are known for? Here's our track-by-track review of each song.
1. "Roman Holiday": Minaj kicks off the album with her unpredictable alter ego, Roman Zolanski, saying, "I'm a lunatic and this can't be cured with no elixir." Also unpredictable are the random sonic drops on several of "Roman Reloaded" tracks. Exhibit A is a crooning version of, "O Come, All Ye Faithful."
2. "Come On a Cone": Minaj takes three minutes to boast and fade those who've closed their eyes or challenged her on what sounds like part two of "Did It On Em." Don't be surprised if you walk away singing "stick in your face/ Put my stick in your face," off key.
3. "I Am Your Leader" feat. Rick Ross and Cam'ron: To stunt or to son? That is the question. Minaj chooses to do both through out the first part of the album. The nostalgia of Cam's return trumps the overall catchiness of the song.
4. "Beez In the Trap," feat. 2 Chainz: The Kenoe-produced cut is one of the stand-out tracks of the album, reminiscent to Minaj's mixtape days. Good call on Minaj's behalf to recruit hip-hop's MVP, 2 Chainz.
5. "Hov Lane": Minaj's energy lives up to the bass heavy beat, but her rhymes are unimaginative on the ode to Jay-Z's legacy. "Big ol chain/ I'm heavy… unh you said female dog?/unh you, porn star" ***edited***
6. "Roman Reloaded," feat. Lil Wayne: Aside from Wayne stealing her spotlight, Minaj contradicts herself, denying her transition to pop (see "Starships" and beyond). "So I laugh at hopefuls/ 'Nicki pop'/ Only thing that's pop is my endorsement op/ unh around and have to go and reinforce the gloc," Nicki raps.
7. "Champion," feat. Nas, Drake, Young Jeezy: Minaj sheds light in her journey from struggle to success, "female dogs* don't know the half like they flunked at math/ female dogs* ain't have cut up crack up in the stash… Cause they killed my little cousin, Nicholas/ But my memories only have the images." Hip-hop heavyweights Nas, Drake and Young Jeezy, come in to celebrate their resilience.
8. "Right By My Side," feat. Chris Brown: Minaj lets her guards down on the duet with Chris Brown. The song is sonically similar to Jordan Sparks and Brown's "No Air." The highlight is Minah's honesty, "It ain't your spit game, it's your stick game that got me walking around ready to wear your big chain."
9. "Sex in the Lounge," feat. Lil Wayne and Bobby Valentino: Sonically and lyrically subpar, Minaj, Wayne and Bobby take turns to speak on their turn-ons while out in the streets and in between the sheets.
10. "Starships": From the moment Nicki announces "Let's go to the beach / beach," on this current single from RedOne, it's become abundantly clear that the pop half of the record has kicked in. The most polarizing single in Minaj's career to date, "Starships" nevertheless has monstrous pop hooks that overshadow its throwaway lyrics ("I'm on the floor / I love to dance / If you want more / Then here I am.") If you don't care for this track, this may be where the album ends for a solid eight tracks for you.
11. "Pound The Alarm": "I'm a bad female dog*, no muzzle" Nicki warns on this "Starships" soundalike from Red One. Nicki does a little bit more singing than she does on her current single, but otherwise the two tracks are virtually indistinguishable. Even the chorus is a rewrite. "Oh oh oh come fill my glass up a little more / We 'bout to get up and burn this floor / You know we getting' hotter and hotter / Sexy and hotter / Let's shut it down,"
12. "Whip It": If Lisa Lisa went to Ibiza, it would sound a lot like this Latin freestyle-infused party jam. One of the better dance cuts on "Roman Reloaded," "Whip It" is good enough to make J. Lo jealous she didn't snare it as a follow-up to "On The Floor."
13. "Automatic": The musical equivalent to a Prada bag from Chinatown. It looks and even sounds like a shiny Dr. Luke's jam off Britney Spears' "Femme Fatale," with Balearic beats a la "Hold It Against Me" and a dubstep breakdown out of "Hold It Against Me," but the production and execution are a bit shoddy. Minaj sounds so anonymous on this track that if she didn't name-check herself at several points you'd forget it was her song.
14. "Beautiful Sinner": Yet another four-on-the-floor dance track where Nicki does more singing than rapping, this song is perhaps most evident of Minaj's weakness as a vocalist. The bad-boy love story would be better suited for a stronger singer like Kelly Rowland or even Jennifer Hudson.
15. "Marilyn Monroe": An introspective ballad from Minaj that bears a striking resemblance to JoJo's 2011 single "Disaster," "Marilyn Monroe" contemplates her current celebrity status. "If you can't handle my worst / You ain't gettin' my best / Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt?" Of the three mid-tempo pop cuts here, this stands the best chance of pop crossover.
16. "Young Forever": A Jay-Z sequel this is not, "Young Forever" is Minaj's take on a power ballad in the vein of Beyonce, with a melody that sounds like something you'd hear on U.K. pop radio. In the hands of, say, Leona Lewis this would probably become a big hit on the adult-contemporary circuit, but under Minaj's guidance it's squarely Top 40.
17. "Fire Burns": A sonic successor to "Save Me" from 2010's "Pink Friday," with the same kind of heart-monitor rhythms and swelling synths that made that cut a dramatic standout. Here, Minaj kisses off a two-timing ex, "I hope your fire / fire burns baby / I hope you lay dow in your sleep / And you choke on every lie you told."
18. "Gun Shot" feat. Beenie Man: It wouldn't be a Nicki album without a taste of her Trinidadian culture. Minaj slows it down with the winding-worthy, reggae-pop crossover collaboration with a reggae artist who's fond of pop himself.
19. "Stupid Doe": Minaj closes the album the way she opened the album, as Roman. On "Stupid Doe," Roman does what he does best: fire shots. "female dog* talkin' she the queen when she looking like lab rat," Minaj raps in the beginning of "Stupid Doe." Do we still think Minaj is talking about the Queen Bee?
Most solid review of the album. I don't agree with a few things. Better than most of the opinions that were posted. I mean. How in the world you gon' judge an album without giving it a proper listening?! Skimming, Listening to the tracks that feature your favorite rappers?! Lame.
Put this in the car with ladies in the car and they'll be
all up on a
. It's her best album to date. Nicki is a smart woman especially knowing what she needs to do to succeed in Todays market and break from the chains of old and free herself and allow her voice to spread freely, instead of focusing on one genre. There's a reason why Nicki is the only chick in the Rap/Hip-Hop game right now. If your going to be ignorant about it, save yourself the trouble and don't bother at all. Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded TRUMPS a majority of the garbage that the other females put out. She is going places and she's going to stick around for a while. The main thing is that she put out an album that's extremely versatile. That song "Stupid Doe", bangs. Idk why there's so much hate, shows how short your list goes. Grammy Album, watch her Win, best album
. Rappers should take a page from her book. Spread them wings and stretch it out, break out of that standard sound. If this was Jay-Z/NaS/Kanye album, y'all would be riding it so hard.

For those who are production freaks. Dr Luke Produced Masquerade/ Va Va Voom/ Young Forever.
Bonus Tracks:
Masquerade: samples "Nice n Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow". My favorite. Takes me back to when I played "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow". Nicki sounds nice on this track.
Va Va Voom - another radio topper. catchy hook.
Turn Me On - y'all already heard this on David Guetta's album
Press Room Conference - haven't heard this yet.

THIS ALBUM IS PURE GRABAGE!
to dude talkin about we need to open our ears and learn that Nicki is crossing over
I stand firm when I say this THE WHOLE WANNA BE ELECTRO/TECHNO/DUBSTEP is getting old! not just with Nicki...with all artist
Im cool with her makin Starships just to keep her white fan base happy but can we get some true raw hip hop with a message?
Rappers need to take notes from Kanye on how to make a solid album n catch the attention of all crowds and markets while staying true to his roots!
Graduation album is the perfect example! Ye had DAFT PUNK & Young Jeezy on the same album while giving a message and staying true to hip hop
I salute Drake for continuing to stay in his lane and rap about what he knows then ending up nlike Wayne & Nicki and rap with random punchlines and all the extra shannangins

all her singles are trash and mean nothing to actual rap.
a big pop artist? sure.
hip hop??? as in actual rap records? absolutely not.
she'll never hold anything against:
kim
lyte
latifah
foxy brown
lauryn hill
missy elliot
etc.
she doesn't rap. its mostly pop. not even r and b but she's on some like...pop $*** you'd hear on a "white" radio station. how on earth could she be the biggest female rapper of all time? you have to rap to do that.

Agree'd and just cause you got all the awards that doesnt make u the top dog automatically.....no offense Bill Russel
I think its half awards and the other half is up to the fans and other artist to say who is the top
I will give her credit she is literally the only female in the game and she is milking it very well.......I do believe you have to respect her presence in the game so when its all said and done she will be a Top 5 female rapper of all time BUT she is no where near #1
Lauryn Hill & Missy Elliot are most likely #1 & #2 give or take
lets not forget Eve too
