New Song: Nicki Minaj – ‘Check It Out (Ft. Will.i.am)’

Published: Friday 27th Aug 2010 by Trent

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?

  2. Ryan August 27, 2010

    wow love it !

  3. T August 27, 2010

    This works suprisingly. Very radio friendly.

  4. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) August 27, 2010

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

  5. Badd August 27, 2010

    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.

  6. Shan August 27, 2010

    Nicki is the new Flo Rider of Rap.. Lame

  7. stan August 27, 2010

    i’m SO tired of will.i.am

  8. wisdombody August 27, 2010

    the early post was she compared her self to l boogie and then this crap nothing hot about it

  9. MuzikManiack August 27, 2010

    I LOVE Nicki, not a big fan of Will.i.am! But I LOV E this song!

  10. Kevin August 27, 2010

    I hate WILL.I.AM.

    i like Nicki

    BUT THIS IS NOTHING ON LAURYN HILL COME HARDER NICKI

  11. Heir August 27, 2010

    This b**** is not a real rapper…… i Cant……….
    This is not a rap b****, this is Miley Cyrus(Keys)
    Is she f***** serious to dare compare herself to Lauryn Hill, girlllllllllllllllll…KILL Yourself Nicki

  12. Jelena August 27, 2010

    ok I LOVE NICKI, LOOOOOVE HER! and i also loved everything she put out there….until this ISSHHHHHH!!! What is this??? This is pop music. me no likey. It is NOT what I expect from Pink Friday AT ALL!

    Please Nicki, please, I’m counting on you, I love you girl!

    Massive attack was a dope song, I never understood why it underperformed, cuz thats the Nicki i like!!! the gritty Nicki, the itty-bitty-piggy Nicki!!! nooooooooooooot thiiiiiis!!!

  13. BEYONCE KNOWLES : QUEEN OF POP PERIOD! RIHANNA WHO? GAGA? BRITNEY WHO ? August 27, 2010

    Buble Gum

    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

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTT3-vA25Zk

    Will I am is Not that Original anymore.

  14. Lady Gaga’s Invisble Twin Marty August 27, 2010

    Lol this s*** 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.

  15. GangsterA August 27, 2010

    i love it esp nicki second verse #getemnick

  16. TR August 27, 2010

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

  17. elleuk August 27, 2010

    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.

  18. rio August 27, 2010

    horrible and she should not be compared to lauryn hill…

  19. Robier August 27, 2010

    Its a hit cause all Will.i.am music sounds the same but its what the twinks that buy cd’s want

  20. Bee August 27, 2010

    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.

  21. harvey August 27, 2010

    its pop ishh…but got a dope dance feel its very 2010 music.I can see this #1.

  22. pssh August 28, 2010

    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

  23. Mr.727 August 28, 2010

    Sorry!! This not the s*** that win you a Grammy!!!! People just don’t f****** get, this s*** is a bad hot combs, going through some nappy ass hair!!!!!! This is why music is continually being f***** 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 f*** out of hand!!!!!! I keep telling people that a huge backlash of the radio is going to happen!!!! Anyone that listens to these vapid b*******, has to class, bet that!!! Nicki will be gone any day now!!!

    The movement is happening f*** wads!!!!!

  24. OBI TEXAS August 28, 2010

    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!!!

  25. hip hop police August 28, 2010

    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 s*** to somebody. Hm

  26. ILOVEXTINA August 28, 2010

    auto-tune orgy. & how dare they mess with “Video Killed the Radio Star”?!

  27. OLW August 28, 2010

    … 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

  28. Rican King August 28, 2010

    FAIL!!! That s*** 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

  29. harvey August 28, 2010

    @RICANKING its a sample of the buggles it may sound like a katy perry track…but its a 80’s song. this s*** is major hot im really feelin the beat so 80’s…mixed with dance pop this s*** is gonna blow up the radio;))

  30. zih August 28, 2010

    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

  31. IGURL4U2LUV August 28, 2010

    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

  32. yesyes August 29, 2010

    love how she doesnt start in her own song until 2:00 minutes on. She is like a feature on everything…..

  33. HaYYYYYYYYYYYY August 31, 2010

    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

  34. McPoppington September 7, 2010

    THIS TRACK IS PHENOMENAL.

    IT SURPASSES THE SAME B******* 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 B****”

    YALL TOO ONE TRACK MINDED TO F*** WITH GREATNESS….. SMFH

    –@McPoppington

  35. Random September 8, 2010

    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

  36. GUISEPPE-Grr September 22, 2010

    LISTEN HEREEEEEE THIS SONG IS DOPE!
    F*** ALL YA THATS HATING ON MY BEAUTIFUL (FAKE) MOMMIE NICKI.
