  12. Minajesty March 20, 2012

    sounds better than pink friday. pink friday was okay but sounded too forced and uninspired, this sounds more like her guest verses

  13. tbozfan10 March 20, 2012

    I wrote that comment before I finished hearing it all. Let me change it to “the first part of the album goes hard.” lol

  14. RDK March 20, 2012

    i am your leada s-ck a big d-ck lol,this album is hip-hop and pop,i like it something there for everyone in the base and a someone who isn’t a fan but of music will hear something they like.keep doing you nicki.

  15. Meeeeeuuuuuu March 20, 2012

    “Champion”, “Marilyn Monroe”, “Young Forever”, & “Gun Shot” are going to be THAT crack!!!!

  16. Kim career DEAD ghostbuster March 20, 2012

    meh…i like maybe 8 songs out of 22 so far. (just my opinion) I gotta hear the whole songs from beginning to end to judge further.

  17. >PF:RR 4.3.12 March 20, 2012

    i can’t wait to hear them in there full,keep doing you nicki,if a b1tch try test u a go bush a shot inna dem bloodclate.

  18. KAT DELUNA FAN March 20, 2012

    At least she is generous when it comes to her music.

    She succeed where Gaga failed:The album is diverse :urban,pop,electro..
    She succeed where Katy failed:The album has some good uptempos
    She succeed where Rihanna failed:She wrote the songs,more songs,more interestings collabos,..
    She succeed where Bey failed:well that aint hard,the album hasnt leaked yet

    In conclusion,seeing starship success w/o the help of a video,l can tell she is going to sell really well.RR is a calculaled move to sell and gain WW appeal,so she will.

    She is smart,the other girls (pop & hip-hop) should take notes.

  19. FullyCharged March 20, 2012

    @ TBOZFAN10 you telling da truth only the first part good all that pop s*** was wack.

  20. Army Of Queen Aaliyah March 20, 2012

  21. JAKE (KING BEY, QUEEN ADELE, EMPRESS GAGA, DUCHESS MADONNA & DUKE TIMBERLAKE) March 20, 2012

    HMMM……. NOT BAD, BUT I AM ONLY HERE FOR “I AM YOUR LEADER & AUTOMATIC”…….

    DONT JUDGE IT BASED ON 1 MINUTE SNIPPITS, OBVIOUSLY NICKI AINT GOING TO PLAY THE BEST OF THE SONGS.

  26. cocodior3069 March 20, 2012

  29. Jayla March 20, 2012

  33. commanderofthedancefloor March 20, 2012

    i am your leader suck a big d***!!!!!!!! this right here is my song!!
    the album goes like this
    hip hop
    dance
    pop

    really the hip hop is so much better than her dance songs hip hop>>pop>>dance for this album but definetly better than pink friday

    but i will say i am kind of dissapointed in the lack of roman on ROMAN releoaded!! although i havent heard the songs in full but i didnt hear it in the snippets!

  34. Real S*** March 20, 2012

    POP tart music……Fail!

  35. _GIMMEDALOOT March 20, 2012

    ARE YOU PEOPLE F****** RETARDED???? THIS IS HORRIBLE, THE WHOLE ALBUM. . I HEARD ONE SONG I ACTUALLY LIKED, BUT THIS IS REALLY BAD. . AND I REALLY TRIED TO GIVE HER A CHANCE BUT EVERY TIME ITS LIKE WTFFFF

  36. Diane March 20, 2012

    Nicki said that this album showcases the “real” her and I believe it because none of these songs offer urban fans any dance moves. Nicki doesn’t know how to dance and that’s why she can’t relate to what songs urban fans want to dance to. They don’t want to dance to Turn Me On, they want some damn bass!

  37. andy March 20, 2012

    Are yall serious? LOL this is a Pop album with a couple of HipHop FEATURES :/

  38. Bey Fan… March 20, 2012

    I kinda like…… dont like all the pop/dance tracks. But those first few tracks were da s***…

  39. Zoe March 20, 2012

    WACK as F*CK!!! She needs to go away already!

  40. plastic March 20, 2012

  42. oscarwantshistrashcanbackmsgarbaj March 20, 2012

    Mrs slocome called and she said the wanted her swagga back~

  43. trulo March 20, 2012

    i cant lie will not lie and not be biased…………………….. but this has no cohesiveness…… it just doesnt flow. rap.. then pop. only 3 songs worth listening to compared to 22 tracks nicki must have no gotten the note.but quality over quanity. … but ymcm has the money they will push her on to us even when we resist so badly! smdh

  44. FAME FLOPPED N TEAM BREEZY ARE SCUZZY H*** March 20, 2012

    I F****** CAN’T! ON SECOND THOUGHT I WILL NOT BE DOWNLOADING THE LEAK. I CHANGED MY MIND. NO NEED TO TAKE UP PRECIOUS SPACE ON MY COMPUTER FOR THIS TRASH!

  45. JustMe March 20, 2012

    When are we gonna meet the real Nicki im so sick of hearing Martha , Roman, D*** Larry, & Jane & why does all the hardcore songs have features can she not kill a hardcore song by herself Smdh

  46. J March 21, 2012

    Im mad that she snatched her verse back from Cassie’s “F*** You Silly” lol.

    I was like, wait, i have heard that verse before…

  47. Kayla March 21, 2012

    I love it..she gave her fans an even mix well, if you want hip hop nicki, a.k.a Ronan, go to tracks 1-10 +19….for her new pop fans, your tracks are 11-18+20-22….this album is ginna sell cus nicki is smart, she did pop and rap so she gonna have 2x the fans running to get this CD, I love her either way so IRDK…but yeah..well see what them sells do…do far I like “Come on A Cone”, “I Am Your Leader”, “HOV Lane”, “Fire Burns”, and “Va Va Voom”…oh and two more thangs, one, if you live or hate her, you can’t truly believe that she don’t pick some of the hardest beats!?!? And two, HATERZ, my bad, “Opinioners” (yeah right) wouldn’t it be better for yourself and everyone else if y’all got hit by a bus and died..I mean…like come on…jst thought I’d put that out there…

  48. PAU March 21, 2012

    POUND THE ALARM <3

  49. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) March 21, 2012

    @SAM :

    i’m her biggest hater , and i APPROVE. she’s on the right track.

    i’m getting this album , the dance tracks go hard 🙂

    she’s SMART 🙂

    WON me

  50. kimberly March 21, 2012

    When I go back to the days of female rap and lyrics from these past mc’s. Niki is not cutting it for me, no matter how much people try to force her my way, she is not doing it. I really want missy elliot to come back on the scene. She may not have teenagers voting for awards for her but the radio will be exciting, finally.

  51. Robot March 21, 2012

    I f*cking love it! Can’t wait to buy this album…

    This made my day, love this gurl so so much! I def will be buying tickets tomorrowmorning for her show in Holland!

    Roman Reloaded = my #1 album of 2012

  52. Minajesty March 21, 2012

    the first half aint bad, i understand she needs to do pop songs, but she should have tooken out atleast 1 pop song and replaced it with 1 more rap song.

  53. Keith Jones March 21, 2012

    Nicki Minaj is a smart b****! Something for everyone. Still don’t sense any moments like “Itty Biggy Piggy” or “Baddest B****” tho =/

  54. nickiminaj March 21, 2012

    WHE LIL KIM COME OUT WIT SOMETHIN THE YALL SAY SOMETHIN OTHER THAN DAT SHUT UP SHE GONA SELL SELL SELL

  55. Itsme March 21, 2012

    OH SHYT! Britney Spears got a new album coming out?….oh wait this is Nicki Minaj and her POPtart trash of an album!

    She is wack, but of course it will sell because her 10yr old Caucasian fans will be buying it…and of course Baby and YMCMB will be buying at least 900K copies….

    PS Lil Kim did this better with her Notorious K.I.M. album in 1999…over 10 years ago…so please come off that…Nicki is still using Lil Kim’s formula…Lil Kim gave a mainstream album but didnt go this far…Nicki is now a POP star!

  56. honeydip March 21, 2012

    FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @HONEY_DIP11 I FOLLOW BACK!

  57. shion March 21, 2012

    I’m getting it as soon April 3rd hit I’m getting it

  58. The One and Only Miss Perrylicious March 21, 2012

    This is going to be so HOTTTT!
    I’m waiting for this album like crazy. 🙂
    Can’t wait!

  59. nice try fake shion March 21, 2012

    Wow, n I dnt even comment that much and already have a impersonator lol smh…kids

  60. The One and Only Miss Perrylicious March 21, 2012

    Pound The Alarm sounds amazing!

  61. RIHANNANAVY CAPTAIN March 21, 2012

    “Pound the Alarm” “Gun Shot” and “Marilyn Monroe” sound like Rihanna songs but they slay. “Whip It” sounds like a Katy Perry song. “Beautiful Sinner” sounds like a Katy Perry songs. “Automatic” sounds really good for Nicki to be a sell-out.
    The real hip-hop tracks really slay. The rest of the album sounds great. She doesn’t need to jump on that electro-pop bandwagon because when that fad is over, she will be too…she better keep her feet planted in hip-hop.

    Rihanna (the originator) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nicki Minaj + Beyonce + Katy Perry + Lady Gaga

  62. :l March 21, 2012

    i so love what i am hearing,can’t wait till the third.

  63. truly unbiased March 21, 2012

    From the snippets
    I’ll just say this….im not really interested
    I mean out of 22 songs and 4 or 5 sound decent to okay?
    Plus how can you play it straight through when the sequencing of the tracks don’t mix?Until I hear it in its entirety I will not pass judgment.
    But it can’t be worse than the recent carter album,take care,finally famous and all the other garbage in hip hop released in the last 9 months especially j.cole.
    I do like that she mixes sounds and elements

  64. Chile Please!! March 21, 2012

    WTF is people hearing??? Are all of you that think this s*** is hot stupid? Nicki reminds me of a corny ass white girl trying to do rap mixed with hip hop. You got people up here like this sound better than Stink Friday & they can’t wait to copp this album. I swear all of ya’ll must be some late 90’s babies that don’t know s*** about true hip hop. It’s nothing hard or epic about this album…it sounds like pure s***. I guarantee you majority of you that have a car would not bump half of these songs in your whip especially the pop sounding songs. Just because she’s the only female our right now making some noise (Litterally) doesn’t mean this s*** is hot. I’m not being a hater either it’s just the truth, I really wish I could put some of ya’ll ears on mines so I can hear how hot ya’ll think this s*** is.

  65. Chile Please!! March 21, 2012

    Correction ***Pop music mixed with Hip Hop*** hey either way the s*** is still garbage.

  66. I like it but… March 21, 2012

    Who keeps gassing this h** that she can sing? Too many mediocre tracks. She needs to stop trying to sound like Rihanna.

  67. Black Madonna March 21, 2012

    YESSSS NICKI !! LUV IT

  68. Jwolf March 21, 2012

    This is f****** amazing. She can pull off what several mainstream artists cannot: diversity. If you don’t like it, don’t listen to it. If you’re pathetic enough to complain and moan about how you don’t like it, it only shows how pitiful your excuse of a life is. Get a life and quickly. I love this CD and I can’t wait to buy it.

  69. Always love you, Whitney (rip) March 21, 2012

    I liked gun shot til she did that awful note at the end of it.

  70. YASSSS March 21, 2012

    LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AHHHHH!!!! APRIL 3RDDDDDD!!!

  71. Remey March 21, 2012

    Ms. Onika is not playing this era. I swear, the Beyhive should take tips from her team.

    PR: CHECK
    Appeal to all audiences: CHECK
    Global Publicity/Endorsements: CHECK

    Yes, this album will slay. Bold moving including so many tracks, but its obvious that she’s trying to cater to all her audiences while expanding her brand. Not many artists do this anymore. When they find a new sound, they forget about their core audience. This formula will have Nicki winning.

    But we’ve seen other winning formulas such as constant reinvention from Rihanna and keeping it simple from Adele. Good job ladies.

    However, I’m curious to see how Madge, Katy, and Nicki will fair. Definitely waiting for Ms. Ke$ha though….

  72. Seth March 21, 2012

    Loving what I heard! Nicki never disappoints me! However, I would’ve loved to hear a lil bit more rapping. But otherwise, can’t wait for 4.3.2012!!!!! 😀

  73. AmbeRussell March 21, 2012

    i understand she has pop fans, but pop does not have to be techno. and 60+ of it doesnt have to be pop. also, why are most of the rap songs about 1 subject, im the s***, ur washed up hater( lil kim diss) yet u go to starship n hear her “sing” about having to pay bills, yet u brag about how much money u have… hmmmm. yeah…
    amberussell on youtube

  74. Jacob March 21, 2012

    Everyone is only hating on Nicki because she ain’t doing her forced pop s*** anymore and this album is going back to her hip-hop stuff. This album sounds awesome and is def gon go hard. My faves are “pound the alarm”, “come on a cone” and “automatic”.

  75. D.Strock March 21, 2012

    From the snippets, I’m psyched to hear “Pound the Alarm” and “Va Va Voom”. Her Rap songs like Beez in the Trap always grow on me though.

  76. Kenananannanananandoe March 21, 2012

    Ok first off all the f****** hater can hate.
    In one of her pink Friday interview they asked how she stared she replied and said she started out singing first. Then she did a freestyle and that how it started. So if she wants to rap and sing that’s her thing don’t hate

  77. HALF AMAZIN March 23, 2012

    Why would they stack the songs like this and make it more obvious than it is that she’s trying to be a rapper and a pop singer??????????? I tried, I listend, and I just don’t like it.
