It’s finally here!
‘Starships‘, the first single lifted from Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘ surfaced online today and is waiting for you to unwrap it below…
Lighthearted and upbeat, it’s safe to say Minaj has #1 on her hands.
However, in keeping it 100, some pockets of the track scream top 40 ‘genericism’, which although will work in her favor on a sales front, strips her of the uniqueness that made ‘Superbass’ so enjoyable.
Either way, we hope ‘Ships‘ is armed with a killer video and a number of well executed live showings.
Because, if ‘Pink Friday’ moved 2 million copies without a single #1 single, ‘Roman Reloaded’ has the potential to do even better if its videos and performances are just as intact as its promo campaign.
OMG SLLLLLAAAYEEDD!
wow! this is the HIT I’ve been waiting for.
i almost lost faith in you nick minaj, but i will def be tuning into the next album!
This is a surefire if Nicki plays her cards right! Well choreographed video + performances will make Starships one of the biggest songs on 2012….
Totally Awesome! !!!!!!!!!!!
Pathetic and generic. Btw, I find it funny that all of her flopping singles are now being called buzz tracks. So when or if this flops this’ll be labeled a buzz track too? Lmao TGJ just be real the s*** sucks and she needs to get it together this era.
oh lawd this sounds like the 99 songs on the radio. help!!!!
She just flipped Kim’s lyrics from her OD verse.
this sucks, so dissapointed she aint a real rapper
so good Nicki!!
SONG IS TERRIBLE,
SHE LOOK LIKE
A
KIM
CLONE
CLOWN
I got Rihanna for my pop I wanted to hear some rap. This ish gets no play in my Jaguar! None
I hope she crosses all the way over, Nicki please leave the rap game!
Sound like the poor mans version of a LMFAO Track, Just not good good
shes just a Pop Gimmick now, not interested in her no more
How disappointing, I’m glad I’m not a Nicki fan
LIL KIM WANT HER WEAVE BACK
MEGA HIT!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THE NEW TRACK!!!!!
FOLLOW MY ARTIST @THISISDIIJAI

THIS SONG SUCKS TBH
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HEAR BRITNEY SPEARS OR CHRISTINA AGUILERA ON THE REMIX?
Her cocky attitutde is bringing her down..it’s good, I’m glad…she needs to learn respect and humility and be thankful she ain’t sleeping on the streets anymore!!
NEXT!!
is this another buzz single?
this doesnt sound good
….So I guess Ms. Onika is going the full Pop route. Do I think it’s a hit? Yes…Do I like it? No.
Nicki’s old stuff was refreshing because she was a lyricist who was original. Now, she is being influenced by the generic trends. Somehow, this album makes me think of Christina’s “Bionic.” Her sound is everywhere. She is really letting down her true fanbase who want Hip/Hop and Rap.
Don’t get me wrong…she is going hard for this cross over appeal, which she is getting with ease (Turn Me On, Superbass, Starships), but don’t turn your back on your original fan base.
Starships
Effort: B-
Creativity: C
Execution: B-
F****** slayyyyyyyed. Hit hit hit. Nicki was meant to fly, like dem Starships and fly she will in 2012.
ANYTHING TO SELL I GUESS?
A sellout song, yet another one.
Sophie-Grace and Rosie will love this.
But me I don’t see NO pattern between the stupid h**, the Madonna minion, the bewitched Lady Gaga Wannabe of the Grammys and now the upbeat Barbie. All of this in, what, 3 weeks!
At this point, she may need to call DIDDY (If he has fully recovered yet). He revamped Mariah’s career, He fixed the CIROC brand, he can fix you, Nicki! ‘Cause you seem lost, sis!
At least, LMFAO would have given us an entertaining video…

Target: Radio Stations
Sponsored by: Radio Music Protest
Today as I write this petition, I write it in voice of all the countless conversations ,I have had with people in my daily life, that have told me that the state of the music and radio industry is in the pits. As the years go by so does the style of music. During the 60’s, 70’s 80’s and 90’s the music was an array of splendor that defined the times, that we were living in. Back in the day the music had a deep connection with the soul, it gave life to emotions that were scared to be conceived my the human mind, and heart. The music from back then had a quality that only could be created once. During the phases of music that came along brought about such extraordinary performers as, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, The Beatles, Prince, Madonna, Mariah Carey, and many other artist that really have had a place in our lives, and gave us music that we as people will remember to our last dying breath.
Now it seems that in the last ten years, the music , the industry has totally lost it’s passion, it’s eye for real talent ,real musicians, just the overall importance of producing an delivering a product that was acceptable and worthy of being purchased, and listened to. When most people listen to the radio now, there is no verity, no singing about anything of substance, or anyone that is remotely talented enough to keep the attention of the listener for more than 5 minutes! The state of the radio has become a wasteland for the robotics that consume the market as we know it! I understand that we all as people have our different preferences in what we consider music, what we see as talented, but as a person that loves quality, that is truly in love with a harmony, real melodies, actual instrumentation, lyric content that surpasses ordinary vocabulary formation of real, and meaningful words.
This is petition is a stance against the horrible music that has been played, time, and time again, and today this is where the line is being drawn in the sand! We the people have had enough, of the boring redundant auto tune sound that has dominated the radio stations for over an decade. Day in and day out the inconsistency of talentless voices have rang in the eras of millions or people, world wide, the lack of honing your craft has been replaced with ,boring materialism, non existent musicianship , the inability to touch and connect with people on a metaphysical level.
If you are tired of the b******* you here on your radio, if you yearn for a change of direction, then what is being played, then please join me, with endless others to stop, and end this robotic state that has taken over the radio. If you want to turn on your stereo an hear a good song again, sign this petition. Realize that until we take a stand , say no the the garbage hitting our airwaves on a daily basis, we will forever be enslaved to this machine called the radio!
I started a page of Facebook called: Radio Music Protest. Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Radio-Music-Protest/244380302305432?bookmark_t=page. Please if there is anyone out there as tired of the emotionless music as I am, please stand with me an fight to get our radio stations to once again play music , that will inspire, encourage, and uplift a people
I LOVE IT….THIS s*** make me move like hell…go nicki go nicki

Check out Conor Maynard! He has such an amazing voice. I really think he is going to be huge!!
This is S***. I used to LOVE Nicki, 2- 3 years ago she was amazing, she has gone to far with this pop dance crap now. MUSIC IS DEAD, I
* I feel sorry for the younger generation, they will never know that music has the power to connect with your emotions and move you. Sad Times
Love it, very mainstream! Ow!
Is Nicki trying to be different from everyone else or is she trying to be the same as everyone else? I’m confused :/
I’m not here for mediocre Pop….
The song is really whack.It sounds like a Kat or gaga leftlover (thanks Red0),a mediocre Perry track.l dont like it,but l dont like Superbass neither.
Maybe with a video.
l loved her grammy performance,she is really really smart
Video with lyrics 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZfyqO3tQsI&feature=g-upl&context=G21e5559AUAAAAAAAAAA
Didn’t u guys say u didn’t like Superbass either yet it went on to become a 4 times platinum hit? U guys make me laugh so hard, but hey we need the haters so please hate on.
What is y’all hearing? This s*** is so whack to me.
@NICKILUV
SB is garbage,Nicki neither it could have been a hit neither because she never tought of it as a lead single,ya rememba that?
SB is garbage and just because a song is a top10 or whatever doesnt make it a good one.l am so tired of schoolin people on TGJ 🙄
Will be a hit but hits dont turn into album sales I hope she doesn’t flop cuzz she could disapear By mid 2013 rap and soul artist last more than 10 years pop stars Chase trends and make hits but you forget about what they did 5. Months later aka riri i wish s
he stuck wit r&b wit a pop touch. I hate sellouts
If you a Nicki fan and you like this your in denial.This is trash.
Is this what hip hop is?
Like I said, this is going to be her last album. This track is trash, only her minions would like this s***. She’s confused one minute she release roman in moscow, stupid h**, roman holiday then this trash. lol She doesn’t know what she wants to do. Nicki is just releasing a bunch of singles to see what sticks.
The Grammys was her shot and she missed that up with her c*** antics. NO ONE like it. Shes done.
Can’t wait for lil kim and Missy albums.
messed
This will be a hit regardless of how generic and typical it sounds.
I mean within the first 30 seconds, I knew how the whole song sounded lol
Love Nicki. However, I don’t like the song. Maybe it will grow on me.
nicki is doing her thing,this is a nice summer and party track.
So incredibly bad. Never in a million years did I ever think Nicki would do a song this terrible.
*buries stan card*
I guess she took that no brainer pop route. This is terrible.
I’m done with her.. this is some pop b******* again.
SHE’S A F****** SELL OUT!!!!! SHE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HERSELF. EVEN THE HIP HOP WORLD HAS LOST RESPECT FOR HER.
YES! SLAYED!!!! LUV IT
***yawn*** I cant wait for Missy to drop some real music…
PS. Lil Kim did this sound 13 years ago with her Notorious K.I.M. album…so Nicki is still on Lil Kim silicones…damn
http://www.nyckim.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lil_kim_-_notorious_cover.jpg
Nicki = #NOGRAMMY
But honestly leave this style to Rihanna and Chris Brown!
Thanks,
MGMT
Also..if Superbass was so “big” where is her Grammy for it? LOOL!
Nicki = #SALT and #NOGRAMMY
SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS ON THE COVER.. YES MA’AM
I’m kinda disappointed.. every one on twitter is mad at me for saying that but I don’t like the song it sounds like something Katy Perry or Britney Spears would do not Nicki Minaj.
My name says it all… Not Feeling It… like damn both her and Kim releasing Autotune…well at least Kim’s new song “If You Love” is just her V-Day gift to her fans her real single comes out tommorow.
i like it!it makes me wanna dance!
And u realize that is why she did this…she knows what is hot right noe…rrad the lyrics to this s***…this s*** is awful…anybody could have done the beat…its very much pop and techno…it really sounds like something, Britney, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Gaga would have done…I am sorry but Nicki had become a puppet to the industry…Instead of making good timeless music she will make s*** like this…and her fans will accept this crap…there is nothing creative or different about this…just another popcorn mess
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
The FEMALE FLO RIDA
This b**** don’t know if she wants to be a RAPPER or a POP Singer
ALL her rap songs are S***
And her pop songs are GENERIC
HER TIME IS UP!!
Missy…KIM…EVE,,,iGGY,,,AZEALIA ARE COMING!!!
Wack Part 85
Um no.
ummm only thing i can say is maybe Nicki is playing an aprils fool joke on us.. i mean come april she may say “april fools” and the cd will be all new material not this b******* she’s releasing now im not even a fan but i know she more talented than this cmon
I like nicki but this song is a no for me. On that note, still waiting for more substance in her music. Stupid h** was terrible and I have a bad feeling her new album not going to do as well as her first. She needs to step her game up. She’s getting corny.
WOW she went completely POP and ……… i love it.
This s*** sucked wtf kinda queen of rap is she supposed to be this is clearly pop so ya’ll need to stop filling this b**** with hot air & pop her f***** bubble because the gimmicks and pop shyt aint real hip hop thats why KIM will always be the Queen & f*** whoeva dont like it straight like that…#POWBANGBANGBITCH
UMMMMMMMM NO! Wait a minute, how is this music? I thought she was hip hop…..SOMEBODY PLEASE CALL LIL KIM.
Why yall mad, she making money, damn go do the same, I can’t hate on her

Nicki’s pop songs are always trying, but never really touch the spot…. This song is cool. but it sounds like Chris brown, katy perry and britney spears… it just sounds like everything else… if you gonna do pop, bring it with some original sounds… stop with these recycled beats… i do like the breaks in the song… this song is bi-polar, like nicki… lol its cool one minute and then just off the next minute….
