  6. JAKE November 19, 2012

    JAKE’S TWO PENCE!!!!!!!

    A) I absolutely LOVE the early 1990’s New Jack Swing back-beat rhythm on the verses; so OLD-SKOOL.

    B) This video reminds me of black & white version of ‘Va Va Voom’ & ‘Fly’. IT WAS REDUCTIVE AS F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    C) Onika looks like a White Woman

    D) The ‘Re-Up’ is #16 on I-Tunes

    E) The ‘Re-Up’ will do 100k (MAX.) 1st Week.

    F) CONGRATS on your AMA wins last night Gurl…

    KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. 😉

  9. gag November 19, 2012

    Eww no one likes ghetto rap music anymore, she should just stick to doing dance music.

    • Jay November 19, 2012

      This song was nowhere near being “ghetto”.

  10. simonsez-CD November 19, 2012

    “Copyright 2010 Cash Money Records Inc.”

    Why 2010??

    • thefollowerofthesun November 19, 2012

      LMAO!!!

      Good question. . .you know Cash Money has no sense of business professionalism though. . .not surprised that they made such a faux pas.

  11. thefollowerofthesun November 19, 2012

    The production was superb. Cannot lie. This is solid.

    BUUUUT! I had to roll my eyes at the biblical references, does she think she’s Noah & Jesus Christ? I SERIOUSLY HATE THESE BIBLICAL REFERENCES IN MUSIC THAT ARE MADE FOR SHOCK VALUE. . .Its soooo played out. SERIOUSLY.

    • FAF November 20, 2012

      No… she’s saying ppl dont even thank GOD so why would they thank her as a human being ? Sit, dear….

  12. Robbieluvsnicki November 19, 2012

    Beautiful almost cried . I luv nicki

  13. SHA (F*** MC and Benron) November 19, 2012

    Honestly Nicki should not of released the re-up she has already confirmed a new album for next year to capitalize on american idol so it will probably going to come out in the spring. Pink Friday RR, the re-up, and a third album in one year is too much. I wonder why her label would do that since they lost a lot of money on her second album so they can say she went platinum??????????

  14. Q**** November 19, 2012

    Wake me up when she release’s a new pop song because this rap s*** is boring…. Cute video though to bad it’s wasted on a s***** song

    • Pop Royalty (The International Navy’s Representative) November 20, 2012

      LAWL.

  15. MusicExpert November 19, 2012

    I cant take her seriously..song will flop and The Re-Up is flopping on the charts hardd!

    • VANNY November 19, 2012

      HOW THE F*** IS IT FLOPPING IF ITS #1 ON THE ITUNES HIP HOP CHART #1 IN THE UK AND #15 ON THE US OVERALL ALBUMS…. DONT FORGET ITS A RE-RELEASE ITS NOT EXPECTED TO SELL MANY RECORDS EVEN NICKI SAID IT HERLSELF… STOP BEING A HATER AND ENJOY THE NEW MUSIC CAUSE HONEY CHILD IF U WAITING FOR KIM TO RELEASE ANY MUSIC YOU WILL TURN TO DUST…

    • Jessica November 19, 2012

      • prettigurlrockD Bitchess November 19, 2012

        ^But she’ll still be around whether you like it or not.

      • FAF November 20, 2012

  16. MusicExpert November 19, 2012

      • prettigurlrockD Bitchess November 19, 2012

        Girl who cares about screechia. This is not her post.

      • AmbeRussell November 20, 2012

        it is a re release, but it has a ton of new songs, the orginal did not sell that much for there to be a re release to begin with. she has had 10 music videos released from this album and re release. that is a lot. she just released boys ft cassie, vavav voom, come on a cone, i am your leader all in the span of 3 months. it has 8 new songs, a bunch more music videos that need to get paid for. i mean milk the cow, but when there is no milk left, do serve me p***. get a new cow or let the old cow reproduce more milk.

  17. The Zolonski Trap November 19, 2012

    Ohkay, 2 words!!!
    Fan-tastic
    She is truly beautiful. It’s good to see her tone down every once in a while, BUT, I still live the crazy nicki too.

  18. MC November 19, 2012

    One word: ውሻ

  19. VANNY November 19, 2012

    She the only female rapper selling records there is nothing ya can do but sit in you’er mom basment and hate all day.. While she sitting in her glass house counting paper and having rich white men with no shirt on feeding her grapes.

    So would ya please shut the f*** up and have a f***** up day

    • VANNY November 19, 2012

      yasssss hunny preach!!! thats what the f*** im saying… hating ass queens trynna hate on nicki but she stay winning!!! this video is the hottest video she has released!!

    • @NAHJEE, What’s a you’er? November 20, 2012

      @ NAHJEE, I believe it’s “You’re” not “You’er”. Maybe you should take an online English course, rather that spending “YOUR” time on blogs! “YOU” should have just stuck with “YOUR” in this case because “YOU’RE” is usually a contraction of “YOU ARE”! Now “YOU” have learned something new on TGJ!

  21. Shedding Light: No Stars EVER November 19, 2012

    This s*** is garbage

    • opd2 November 19, 2012

      only thing that is garbage is your pathetic life.

  22. nickalus Randle November 19, 2012

    I love the fact she has like 10 videos, remember when Janet used 2 do that, I love seeing videos for more than 2 songs!!! YES NICKI, I think the RE UP should have been just a 5/6 song release for like $8, its toooo many songs on it, BUT I bought them all, I like all of the new songs A LOT!!!

  23. question of the decade November 19, 2012

    I am wondering what is the strategy behind re releasing this joint. I am saying that as a nicki fan? Would this do her any good. I honestly feel she should have put that energy and those new songs on a whole new album. The vibes not even the same. seriously wtf they doin?

  24. Opd2 November 19, 2012

    thes rabbid hating @ss b-tches is thumb downing peoples comments,press b!tches,and why is the navy hating on nicki,they are shading nicki hard from she won fav female artist against Rihanna and katy w-tf and it,s even gotten worse when they heard Nicki and rihanna is releasing new albums[Nicki on the re-up 7 new songs] on the same day,nicki and rihanna is cool so i don’t now why yall trying to start something serious.

  25. BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare November 19, 2012

    Nicki bout to make me dust off my stan card! I really like this song. 🙂

    Did yall see the copyright date at the end of the video–2010?

  27. prettigurlrockD Bitchess November 19, 2012

    Nicki Minaj>>Azealia Banks. SERIOUSLY I DO NOT get the hype with that chick. She’s boring and all her music sounds the same. Nicki is not only a rapper. She’s an entertainer and even her haters love her!!! Nicki has a great head on her shoulders.

  28. Remey November 19, 2012

    WHY OH WHY IS SHE STILL MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES FROM THE LAST ALBUM ERA!!!!

    I thought this go round her team would give singles the treatment they deserved rather than rush them back to back. At this point, she has 3 singles out: The Boys, Va Va Voom, and Freedom.

    I guess they didn’t learn from the previous 8 months. You confuse your audience and lose hype everytime you put out a video/single.

    Va Va Voom could have been a good single to lead for the Re-Up, but she continually releases a video every week. Take a tip from Brandy…..she was riding the hell out of Put It Down, but her team kept it hyped up!

    Damn Nicki! You have the perfect platform to push this rerelease. American Idol, new fragrance, AMAs, and the holiday season!!!!!!!!

    • Bad Bytch November 19, 2012

      Take a tip from Brandy?.. Have you seen Brandy’s numbers lately?

      • FAF November 20, 2012

        ok? she can afford to do this …. remember she is already certified platinum, this is only to gain back urban fans and gain 320k in sales

  29. mob November 19, 2012

    WAIT…….WHAT? 0_o

    Now who needs to thank you and what doors have YOU opened that were not previosly opened by the likes of Queen Latifia, Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Eve etc? And is she really comapring her “plight” with fellow FEEMCs to thaat of Jesus? …wait no Noah’s Arc…..LOL oh Nicki 🙂

    Does she do anyhign but jaw about how other’s are so jeulous of her and that other’s are nohings and nobodies?

    • FAF November 20, 2012

      DO any of them have perfumes?

      and DEATH @ u haters wanting to bring up Foxy when its convenient

      back in the ’90s when kim called herself the QUEEN no one brought up the fact lauryn spit circles around her & missy had more success…..

  30. honeychildplease November 19, 2012

    THe video was cute, but a little boring as well….The song is somewhat nice, and that is all i have at this moment..

  31. FAF November 20, 2012

    CUTE!! QUEEN SLAYS YET AGAIN ! 🙂 KI !

    #REUP ! NEW ALBUM COMING 2013!

    GRAMMY COMING SOON !!

  32. Princess Pocketbook November 20, 2012

    Meh. Same s*** different video.

  33. MusicExpert November 20, 2012

    This is a re-release but there are 8 new songs!

    She added rap songs to the re-release to try to reclaim the rap market (the original fans)

    And a re-release with 8 songs is like a brand new album..typical re-releases have upto 4 new songs..

    But the Re-Up is flopping!

    Dont you guys get it?
    Nicki is only successful when she sells herself and does records like Starships.this albums gonna sell less than 100K..LOL

    Watch her next album, in 2013 is gonna have pure pop songs..i feel bad for yallllll

  34. Mary Mary Why You Buggin’ November 20, 2012

    Here are facts: Nicki only has commercial success when she is doing her Pop-Hop. When she tries to be an authentic rap artist, her young, white, & (white) gay fan base pays her dust. But this is the choice that she made.

    This is the difference between her and someone like Tupac. Tupac simply made music and the audience came to HIM. Nicki made (bad) pop music and took it to the mainstream. The mainstream embraced her but the mainstream will never make you a legend. Staying true to what you do and what you do well is what will make you a legend. She had the potential and she threw it away for commercial fame. Oh well.

    I like Freedom. Good song. But the fans who knew she could become a legend through her lyrics are gone and they are never coming back–EVER. She should simply become a full fledged pop artist and forget it.

    • Pop Royalty (The International Navy’s Representative) November 20, 2012

      THIS.

      like her biggest hit is “super-bass” and it is a POP song ( actually she’s not singing the famous chorus , but let’s ASSUME it’s her who was singing it).

  35. Quetta November 20, 2012

    I like the video but what I don’t like is when shee mentions Jesus’ name she starts to do a mouth full of cuss words. That’s not cute. Don’t really care for the song. And I’m tired of seeing that ugly black drag wig.

  36. @NAHJEE, What’s a you’er? November 20, 2012

    @ NAHJEE, I believe it’s “You’re” not “You’er”. Maybe you should take an online English course, rather that spending “YOUR” time on blogs! “YOU” should have just stuck with “YOUR” in this case because “YOU’RE” is usually a contraction of “YOU ARE”! Now “YOU” have learned something new on TGJ!

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

  37. The real xoxo November 20, 2012

    ‘who i wanna work with? Nobody. Cause 99% of them is nobodies’
    yet she has 6 redundant collaboration features on an 8 track release?
    I would love this song if
    A) Chorus wasnt half-arsed
    B) she wasnt bragging as much
    C) she wasnt dissing female rappers
    D) if it wasnt so grief-leeching

  38. jamilaa November 20, 2012

    boring video!!

  39. Pop Royalty (The International Navy’s Representative) November 20, 2012

    i liked the lil shady ” who i wanna work with” part.

    but that s*** will flop too.

  40. bibi93 November 20, 2012

    Good job Nicki

  41. Mitt Romney November 20, 2012

    I love her!

  42. @091094_ Twitter November 20, 2012

    THIS IS THE NICKI THAT WON ME OVER AT THE START, I LOVE THIS, THIS IS SORT OF HOW I FELT WHEN I HEARD SAVE ME AND MOMENT FOR LIFE
