Retail Release in 2011
Summary: Nicki Minaj's debut studio release
Overall Rating: Good (?/5)
Rating Comment: A consistent album with good production throughout. However, the lack of a real classic track aside from the very polarizing bubblegum track Superbass is unfortunate.
1. I'm The Best: B
Very personal lyrics; Good flow; Solid music
2. Roman's Revenge f/ Eminem: C+
Good verses (I prefer Eminem's); Not a fan of the Busta-Buss-inspired hook; Swizzy B rarely makes a beat I really dig; Backing music is a mixed bag
3. Did It On'em: C
Mediocre beat and hook; Good verses, though
4. Right Thru Me: B-
Cool concept; Smooth chorus; Actual verses are nothing special; Barely a B-
5. Fly f/ Rihanna: B
Great hook work by Rihanna; Good music; Nicki's second verse is much better than the first
6. Save Me: C-
The kind of song you have to take for what it is; Nothing special, but an enjoyable listen
7. Moment 4 Life f/ Drake: B
Drake verse is very good; Nicki's is also good; Good music
8. Check It Out f/ will.i.am: D
Not terrible, I suppose.
9. Blazin' f/ Kanye West: B+
Truly blazing beat with wicked flows by both principles. Murderous Kanye verse.
10. Here I Am: 3 Stars
11. Dear Old Nicki: 4 Stars?
12. Your Love: 4 Stars
13. Last Chance: D
Nice music but mot much else appeals to me.
