New Song: Nicki Minaj – ‘Fly (Ft. Rihanna)’

Published: Wednesday 17th Nov 2010 by Trent

The most anticipated track from Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday’ has surfaced. ‘Fly’ features Rihanna and has been hyped by Minaj in recent months. Give it a listen below:

In one of the few instances of 2010, this song actually matches the hype. Rihanna’s vocals work well with the melody  and Minaj delivers inspirational lyrics in her usual energetic fashion.

If the rest of the album includes records like this then Minaj has a excellent piece of work on her hands. Female rappers have a lot to prove, especially with their debut albums, if they wish to truly be accepted in the game. With that said, it seems that Minaj is about to make a strong entry like Eve, Missy Elliot and Lil Kim did before her.

  11. Nothing But My Opinion November 17, 2010

    kinda boring…

  12. WorldWideWaddie.com November 17, 2010

    I’m speechless. This the best I’ve heard from EITHER one of them.

  13. RiRiLoud November 17, 2010

    Nicki reminds me SO much of Eve. Missy and Kim are more fun rappers that make songs that are about s**, dancing, fun, drugs, crime, etc. Eve did that too but Nicki is like Eve to me with the relationship focused and retrospective songs.

  14. Curtis November 17, 2010

    I’m the biggest Rihanna stan around and I’m not feeling this or the album that much.
    It’s kinda nice still and I think it will grow on me a lot… its my least fav Rihanna collab though

  15. Sublime00 November 17, 2010

    Trent’s commentary had me hype for this…but this was boring. Fell flat for me. Did nothing.. A little dry, and RIhanna’s vocal was bland. OH well.

  16. Team Minaj California November 17, 2010

    Obviously the people who said this is boring is either a Lil Kim stan who would rather hear about s** and sucking a sick or a young little kid who would rather hear her doing her usual nursery rhymes. Anyways this was nice,.

  17. luvmedj November 17, 2010

    I previewed the album as an honest fan, and I’m jus not diggin MAJORITY of the material. I do love her tho…I jus have to pass on buying this album.

  18. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ November 17, 2010

    @RiRiloud

    Eve and Nicki? No. Eve has WAY more depth and emotionally themed lyrics than Nicki! Eve’s lyricism is FAR superior to Nicki. Nicki is more generic than any other female rapper. She doesn’t rap about much she just has a unique delivery. She is more POP and mainstream than hardcore and authentic as far as her image and lyricism.

    Eve > Nicki

  19. I’MJUSSSAYIN November 17, 2010

    This s*** is BLAND as hell. I commend the direction it’s trying to go but…………*yawns*

  20. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 17, 2010

    ^^^ What Amazing.Lee said.

  21. oh i see November 17, 2010

    raining men >>>>>>>>> this

  22. Mac November 17, 2010

    Damn, Rihanna doesn’t sound like a dying cat. This track is a RADIO SMASH.

  23. VA STAND UP!! November 17, 2010

    Um…it’s OK. It’s a decent album filler. Not exactly what I would expect from the two of them. I figured they would produce a hot club banger, but this is pretty mellow and definitely nothing you can dance to.

    Rihanna sounds decent but Nicki’s verses aren’t much to scream about. The chorus is the best part of the song and that’s kinda bland. IMO.

    I can’t see it as a single, but I wouldn’t be surprised it did well if released. Anything can go No. 1 these days.

  24. iamdanger November 17, 2010

    This Songs is so lovely loved it can’t wait to the album .. haters will always hate…

  25. the kiddz November 17, 2010

    *Kanye Shrug*

  26. MUSIC LOVER November 17, 2010

    I like this song so much better than “Raining Men.” It’s very radio friendly. This will probably be released as a single.

  27. JAYLA November 17, 2010

    YOU GAY MEN ALWAYS WANT TO DANCE TO SOMETHING, SHUT THE HELL UP AND SIT DOWN

  28. lmao November 17, 2010

    LOVE IT

  29. MUSIC LOVER November 17, 2010

    BTW in that picture, are Nicki’s arms suppose to be blatantly obvious that they were photoshopped?!

  30. #YeahISaidIt November 17, 2010

    Just okay nothing big

  31. BROCKAURWORLD! November 17, 2010

    i love it! n i will be buying her album on Monday! i Refuse to join the Negativity that people always do! like this song is actually about something like STFU n Listen to what she’s saying! That’s Music it’s not always about F****** and Sucking!

  33. Carmen November 17, 2010

    Its funny people complain that music particularly mainstream rap/ rnb music is so shallow these days but they dont support it when it isnt. Thats so backwards. Everything doesnt have to be a dance record. Dance records are rarely classics.

    I giv this song a 4 out of 5 stars. Rihannas in it too much in my opinion.

  34. HAHA SLOW DOWN November 17, 2010

    TRASH…SHE SOUNDS THE SAME ON EVERY DAMN SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. Nichole November 17, 2010

    I can’t believe I’m gonna do this, but I’m gonna peep Nicki’s album out of curiosity.

    Follow me on Twitter! Follow me and I’ll follow you! xoxoxo

  36. Nadjee November 17, 2010

    This is actually a solid song and I can so relate to the lyrics.

  37. RiRiLoud November 17, 2010

    @AmazingLee
    I said nothing about image and I know the two are 100% different, I’m just saying that, in the direction Nicki’s music is appearing to take, that Nicki reminds me more of Eve than of Kim.

  38. RiRiLoud November 17, 2010

    I’m not expecting this to be a super emotional album anyway. I heard the album, and it has a great balance between her fun songs talking about how great she is and her money, and then she has uplifting songs about her childhood and her determination.

    I don’t think it’d be smart to go all out emotionally with a debut album, anyways. Maybe in the future it’ll be a good idea (2nd album?)

    She’s a mainstream rapper but it works for her.

  39. Landen’s Fury! November 17, 2010

    This is actually a sick song on Rihanna’s

    part. This is a Sick Song On Nicki’s Part

    And that was a given! If you’ve heard anything

    she’s done in the last year of her life, it would

    and should have given you indication of this.

    As I STATED BEFORE, PINK FRIDAY IS GOING

    TO MAKE WAVES IN THIS INDUSTRY WITH NICKI’S

    ENTIRE ALBUM APPEALING TO PEOPLE WHO CAN

    RELATE. LOOK FORWARD TO THIS!

  40. RiRiLoud November 17, 2010

    @Landen’sFury!
    I think the same thing. The album, i’ve heard it, appeals to the pop, urban, rap, R&B, and even dance communities. It’s such a versatile album and it has a lot of personal songs balanced with her “I’m so rich and an amazing rapper” type songs too.

    I really love “Here I Am” and “Save Me”. I’d love a rap version of Rated R for her second record though. That’d be amazing @TrueBlue and @AmazingLee.

  41. Ouch November 17, 2010

    @THAT GRAP JUICE

    Queen Rihanna said :
    I read the blogs] sometimes, it depends on what it is I am trying to find out. I’m a lot more numb to it now only because I understand what it is. It’s a community for people who don’t have anything else to do and hate themselves, they hate their life, they hate their job, they hate their appearance, they are uncomfortable with who they are so what makes them feel good is talking smack about other people who they think they will never ever see in their life and they happen to be celebrities. It seems impossible to ever have the opportunity to say these things to their face, so they get to hide behind their computer.

  42. RiRiLoud November 17, 2010

    @Ouch
    When did she say that?

  43. TheDimplePuppet November 17, 2010

    #1 Hit. Rihanna is magical on a rap feature. #TEAM NICKI&RIHANNA. Get it black women.

  44. slick November 17, 2010

    aw! that was such a nice song!!! 😀 made me smile

  45. Ma November 17, 2010

    You’re such a sucker Trent! LOL

  46. Speaks Truth November 17, 2010

    Nicki Minaj I f****** love youuuuuuu!!! Pink Friday better go platinum the first week!!! This album gives you everything it’s so f****** beautiful! Nicki you been had my respect but you get it even more. This album is a classic. She even gave you a diary of info about each song. Everything makes sense. It’s a PERSONAL album, a personal album is when you write it and it reflects things that you been threw not anyone else. Some artist doesn’t know what personal is. Got damn man just get the album this album have n**** in tears, she so f****** amazing!!!!

  47. Pink frazzle November 17, 2010

    @Speaks truth if you want the album to go platinum in the first week, you better buy multiple copies because that album is trash! This collab is trash! I’m shocked that a collab with Rihanna is trash Smh. Nicki is overhyped and Kanye’s sales are going to s*** on hers!

    @ThatGrapeJuice oh I see there was no negativity posted whatsoever about princess RiRi since she’s collabing with someone you will grovel for. Sad case loser!

  48. accentuate November 17, 2010

    idk im guessing the urban market will eat it up, cuz im not feelin it and im a ri stan, i like rihs part but thats it i had to skip nickis second verse to find out if ri was gonna sing some more. idk to me rap isnt music, its cute when its featured on a “singers” song, but not feelin this. hopefully it will just bring in new rih fans if anything. like someone else said, its my least fave feat. of rihanna. go get that amazing loud album though, in stores now!!! its gonna be number one(finally) lol but yea shell have a number one single at the top with a number one album at the same time. jus hoping she practicin them live performances, cuz i was watchin bey the othef day, and it made me realize why i love her too. but riri is my numero uno!

  49. Speaks Truth November 17, 2010

    @ pink frazzle, you f****** stupid if you think that album trash!! You must be looking for beef in the a.m, but I’m not going give it to you, just watch the charts & sales, and people around you as they give you nothing but positivity about #pinkfriday

  50. That Gay Bytch Trent November 17, 2010

    Trent you are a true f*****! Why is it that when Rihanna is on someone else shyt,you riding her nuts,but when its her song,she sounds like shyt!You are a str8 up cocksucker and I think you should build a bridge and jump the f*ck off of it bytch! Change the name of this shytty blog to THAT GAY JUICE,YOU BYTCH A** GWARL!

  51. Kayla November 17, 2010

    Not gonna even bother to listen but I know it’s great and if your a real fan of music take your ass on and buy the cd smh sad case

  52. Pink frazzle November 17, 2010

    @Speaks Truth I’m not sure where you’re checking to see all this positivity but twitter is not too impressed. The only ones who are is team minaj but you’d expect that. Her music shows no progression at all. Sorry but this album is a fail. It’s my opinion, deal with it.

  53. accentuate November 17, 2010

    if nicki had any good songs on pink friday, wouldnt one of them be her first single?? the only decent song i heard from nicki is “ur love” and that s*** has run its course. if pink friday does any good ill be shocked, because ur typical nicki stan are str8 hoodrat/ghetto chicks, and u cant buy cds with a foodstamp card…so thats gonna be a challenge. i loved her verse on the sweet dreams remix and im feeling her on raining men, but i aint checking for her or about to buy her cd.

  54. lala November 17, 2010

    i miss missy. 🙁 now thats that b****, shes only slept on cuz she aint got the look, but missy was doing gaga videos before gaga. hello…one minute man, gossip folks, work it and get ur freak on are classics. i loved trina on one minute man, i actually favor trina. team missy + trina for female rappers.

  55. right November 17, 2010

    s***** album lmaoo

  56. GangsterA November 17, 2010

    yes yes yes b****** i love it riri sound so great and nicki is just the s*** also blazin and moment 4 life they are amazing too the album will be so dope

  57. ADE November 17, 2010

    Don’t like it all. And why is it reminding me a bit of Owl City?

  58. S*** November 17, 2010

    Why does Rihanna only collaborate with RAPPERS?? Hmm, LMAO at all these EASY HITS shes getting.

    Anyway Its nice to hear Minaj Rap about something serious even though the delivery is still as SILLY as ever. Shes the perfect Mix B/W Silly & hardcore but still hasnt proven to be nothing to be taken seriously. & Vocally Rihanna sounds impressive with the STUDIO EFFECTS but surprisingly enough Nikki might actually be just as good a singer as Rihanna with those Same Effects Nikki can do EVERYTHING Rihanna can believe it or not…

  59. #YeahISaidIt November 17, 2010

    Both of them are birds of the same feather, both over hyped without talent and both are only good to just show us their cleveage and change hair color. I can’t wait fo real music to make a comeback

  60. miss humble November 17, 2010

    WHY DOES SHE REPEAT SOME OF HERE LINES LIKE NOTORIUS BIG?

  61. RosaRubbel November 17, 2010

    Sounds very cute, especially the ‘Fly’ from Rihanna.

  62. UGh November 17, 2010

    I like Nicki but i don’t see the hype with this song.. Um, it’s an okay song a bit on the boring side. Nicki sounds great though. Why is everyone’s albums leaking?

  63. Diane November 17, 2010

    A great song to use for the Olympics or a sports championship game. Good work Nicki.

  71. liljokerrr November 17, 2010

    i like nicki..but its true her voice does sound the same in every song she talks fast then SCREAMS out of nowhere…and she says the same thing shes the bestest she sold 1 million off a mixtape etc. same thing…. i still love her but her album tracks are ALREADY leaking a bunch of em have leaked…..so why buy it when people are alredy getting it for free..as much as nicki deserves success on her first album most people dont have money cuz of the economy so they well be downloading it for free..

  72. liljokerrr November 17, 2010

    but i do LOVE this song its great….great lyrics!!

  73. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ November 17, 2010

    @RiRiloud

    I knew you weren’t referring to image, you’re referring to their music and that’s exactly what I’m opposing. Their music and lyricism is totally different, I only included image because it’s a replica of Nicki’s music as well.

    I’m not sure if you were strictly referring to just Eve’s single choices from her second and third album but her albums are way different than anything Nicki has done so far, especially Eve’s first album, which was her most raw album! Nicki’s direction of music seems to be going a completely different direction than Eve’s, more into the mainstream and pop direction rather than Eve’s approach which was substantial and emotional with a mix of hardcore. And image has nothing to do with that, I’m referring strictly to the music and lyrics, however it’s obvious Nicki’s image is very gimmicky!

  74. Pink frazzle November 17, 2010

    @Amazing lee I agree. Nicki Minaj is in no way like Eve. Eve was raw and Nicki is a commercial artist. It’s strange that she keeps mentioning the huge success of her mixtape when she’s using a total different formula now. On her mixtape, she was raw. Not to the same capacity as Eve but she was raw. Now she’s doing pop, funny voices, different accents, and her lyrics make absolutely no sense quite often. I listened to the leaked album and honestly, the only stand out track to me is save me. She Should not be compared to Missy, Eve,LIL Kim, and sure as hell not Lauryn Hill at this point in her career.

  75. PINK FRIDAY NOV 22ND November 17, 2010

    Cute song.. Im going to the record signing and stanning out real talk

  76. kavion November 18, 2010

    this isnt even the whole song..
    & for ppl saying its not real rap if it isnt fast/hyped..you sound IGNORANT
    her beats shuldnt matter..its all about LYRICS..her & eves lyrics are BOTH meaningful w/ depth but becus nickis beats have pop influences that takes away from her?
    that makes NO sense..the lyrics are GREAT & thats all that matters

  77. Geeze November 18, 2010

    Ummm nails on a chalkboard, I got up walked around and came back and this song was still on. It has a depressing beat with encouraging lyrics ummm doesn’t add up.

  78. cedrick ware December 10, 2010
