Here is a new track from Nicki Minaj and Will.i.am entitled ‘Check It Out’. The record will be featured on the Limelight Exclusive mixtape and is unlikely to make the final cut of Minaj’s upcoming ‘Pink Friday’ LP (in stores November 23rd). Give it a listen below:
As with any other track crafted by Will.i.am this record is laced with auto-tune and radio-friendly beats. There is no doubt that the duo have some chemistry but the production is a bit too busy and confusing. The again, what else can be expected from artists as animated as Minaj and Will.i.am?

Still no impress one bit hence I’m yet to be surpiced by Niki with reference to her comparism with LH..lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with Trent.
It’s too much going on.
& it’s definitely not anything new.
It sounds like everything else
that Will.I.Am. puts out..
or frankly everything else that’s
on the radio.

How can they Let Nicki “No Talent” Minaj take a Pop Classic like “Video Kill the radio Star”
This is the Original song by the Struggles

Will I am is Not that Original anymore.

Lol this shit jokes. Not great, but its guaranteed to get radio play and be stuck in my head one way or another.
@ BEYONCE KNOWLES : QUEEN OF POP PERIOD! RIHANNA WHO? GAGA? BRITNEY WHO ?: Its call sampling… All producers do it.

nothin special..at least now on my first listener.. more like a grower

August 27, 2010 at 9:28 pm
im still waiting for this gimmick to justify her hype…guess i have a long wait.
kesha mixed with katy perry and the auto tune of t-pain does not equal hiphop.
i can hear the cries from pac now.

August 27, 2010 at 9:33 pm
horrible and she should not be compared to lauryn hill…

August 27, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Its a hit cause all Will.i.am music sounds the same but its what the twinks that buy cd’s want
Bee
August 27, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Pass.
It could grow on me but not likely. It sounds like it could get annoying after a few listens. Nicki’s sick, but the song…nooo.

August 27, 2010 at 10:57 pm
its pop ishh…but got a dope dance feel its very 2010 music.I can see this #1.
pssh
August 28, 2010 at 12:24 am
I honestly am seeing where the comparsions are coming from. Atleast from a rap stan point. She isn’t Hill, but that rap verse she dropped here was ill. Just cause she doesn’t rap in that neo-soul style. Anyway! I wish she would have did this song all on her own with no feature from Will.i.am

Sorry!! This not the shit that win you a Grammy!!!! People just don’t fucking get, this shit is a bad hot combs, going through some nappy ass hair!!!!!! This is why music is continually being fucked up, because people will just accept any old thing!!! So glad to see people with”Talent” actually reemerging back into the music, cuz things have really got the fuck out of hand!!!!!! I keep telling people that a huge backlash of the radio is going to happen!!!! Anyone that listens to these vapid bullshit, has to class, bet that!!! Nicki will be gone any day now!!!
The movement is happening fuck wads!!!!!

What a lot of people don’t get is that everyone doesn’t want to be extra serious all the time!!
People just want to have fun. That is why the radio sounds like it does! Two or three decades ago, things were more serious because people celebrated being together (in relationships) not being single or “doin’ them”. Everyone wants to be an individual…so as much as a lot of people hate to admit, this WILL be a huge radio hit!
Hate it or Love it!!!

This tracks good for wat it is but I wouldn’t want it on the album. her verse at the end of the song went in and was saying some slick shit to somebody. Hm

auto-tune orgy. & how dare they mess with “Video Killed the Radio Star”?!
OLW
August 28, 2010 at 8:02 am
… why did they touch to that song !!! OMG they did a mess… I’m so sorry for the original artist of the orginal song…
THIS IS BAD
but I guess it will work on a new generation who does’t really know about the original song… because it’s radio friendly

August 28, 2010 at 9:03 am
FAIL!!! That shit sounded like a Katy Perry track. Nicki needs to realize she cant do every guest appearance thrown at her…Go here Nicki on the kanye/jay z track called monster..she delivers
harvey
August 28, 2010 at 2:47 pm
@RICANKING its a sample of the buggles it may sound like a katy perry track…but its a 80′s song. this shit is major hot im really feelin the beat so 80′s…mixed with dance pop this shit is gonna blow up the radio;))
zih
August 28, 2010 at 3:00 pm
the oh oh background is annoying as hell. and can she just stop singing and do some serious rapping. she needs a real dope dark record and she will sell like hell. not this bimbo uptempo lousy beat and hook that she hardly raps. JUST RAP ALL THE WAY AND IT WILL BE A GREAT TRACK. like the rap part is hot! but the beat sucks

August 28, 2010 at 6:04 pm
SOUNDS LIKE @ THE END SHE WENT IN ON SOMEBODY “put an iron to ya face you old wrinkle bit#h”…hmm wonder who oh yea the song SUX :O) as with all gimmicks and fads , one day she will fall into the 99 cent bin of “oldies” at walmart and dissapear forever
yesyes
August 29, 2010 at 9:48 pm
love how she doesnt start in her own song until 2:00 minutes on. She is like a feature on everything…..
HaYYYYYYYYYYYY
August 31, 2010 at 4:14 am
i hope this is not the official version cuz shes only on like a minute of the song
even tho her minute is awesome
she needs to make this song mostly her not will.i.am

THIS TRACK IS PHENOMENAL.
IT SURPASSES THE SAME BULLSHIT POP BOTTLES SOUND OF EVERY OTHER WACK HIP HOP SONG ON THE RADIO AND HAS INTERNATIONAL APPEAL.
I COULD SEE THIS SONG POPPING IN ANY COUNTRY.
DONT FORGIT THE DIS TO HER “NEMESIS” — LIL KIM
“AND PUT THE IRON TO YOUR FACE YOU OLD WRINKLED BITCH”
YALL TOO ONE TRACK MINDED TO FUCK WITH GREATNESS….. SMFH

Everybody is referencing the Lauryn Hill comparison and bagging on Nicki, when she isn’t the one who made the comment. It was Irv Gotti. I could understand if she had said that she was the next LH….but she can’t control what another person chooses to say…..Although I prefer Lauryn(legend) over nicki…im not going to deny that the girl is talented and knows the business…shes something different…don’t have to like her but this whole hate thing is ridiculous…we don’t even truly know the girl
