Nicki Minaj - Catch Me
Artist: Nicki Minaj
Producer: Swizz Beatz
Album: Unreleased
Label: YM/CM/Universal Motown
As those who follow Nicki Minaj’s Twitter religiously (like I do) already know, only an hour ago the one and only human Barbie let loose of a brand new joint, Catch Me. Originally intended for Nicki’s platinum-selling debut album, Pink Friday, but left off for unknown reasons, Catch Me is finally seeing the light of day. Conceptually and musically, the record is an unexpected blend of dance floor bang and emotional ballad sweetness, with producer Swizz Beatz crafting an uptempo beat that could have easily been flipped into a dancehall winder. But instead of going all Super Bass with it, Nicki takes a left turn (as always) and lyrically delivers the tale of a relationship gone wrong, or perhaps one that never worked at all in the first place, taking time to even softly croon her heartache on the hook. So how about it Booth Nation? Was Nicki and the Young Money brass right to leave Catch Me off the album, or does it have some serious hit potential in its own right? We’ll find out soon in the ratings and comments below.

I remember reading an article last year, where Nicki talked about the monster that was her song with Swizzy ("Catch Me"). And, of course, then it didn't make the album. I think that decision had more to do with the flow of the material and the pop-heavy appeal, than the quality of this particular record not necessarily stacking up against the rest.

This is way better than some of the album tracks like "Dear Old Nicki"...this still kinda sucks. Her album was lackluster, the bonus tracks were better than the standard edition.

Its not horrible the lyrics just seem a bit nursery rhyme-ish ...for example "small, all, fall"
It was a bit simplistic Not very strong |

I should come to expect this kinda garbage when i see the name, but I see Swizz and i think maybe it'll be a good listen. Never question your first mind...

The chorus is a lot better than the lyrics. Its a decent track, but lacks something...
If Nicki is so bad like all the comments are saying...how the heck did she go Platinum...maybe its the person and not the music.

First off let me just say I am a fan of Nicki Minaj. With that said, this song SUCKS!!!
I am getting the feeling that nicki has peaked and she just started. I dont know, lets see what lays ahead for her. |

It's sad that Nikki has almost double the comments that Rapsody has, even though she is half the "femcee". I didn't mind Nicki that much, but now I feel like her novelty has worn off, and I am kind of tired of her. She always sounds like a female Lil' Wayne, but worse. Instead of listening to her, attention should be given to the real Nikki (Lynette), Jean Grae, or Rapsody. All three can rap circles around Minaj, who, for some reason is the most popular "femcee" in the game.

Thank God Swizz didn't "rap" on this track, his production is usually bad enough as it is. Having said that this beat wasn't as terrible as I was expecting, which is odd. It's terrifically simple however, so maybe it was?
I'm not sure what to think of Nicki, I recognize she has skills but I understand on that label her albums will never be what she's capable of putting out, which is why I skipped her Pink Barbie release altogether. I've been a fan of what I've heard, and this isn't bad although the chorus / hook makes me think it definitely would've been a single. Also, as far as her flow this is as simplistic as I have ever heard her. Nothing crazy about it, just a decent track. |

So what is this going to be a single? She's had so many off this album! I dont mind this, Nickis on to a good thing her formula is clearly working and I guess this is YM/CBs attempt to keep that fire burning...

Record sales have NOTHING to do with how good the music is, for those who didn't know. Lots of people sell(see Lil Flip). Hell, most of Cash money sold records when there wasa 1.5 rappers in the whole group. So never bring sales in to an argument when the best rappers around rarely hit Platinum staus....

This is sad. The track has potential and so does Nicki's chorus. It just sounds like the production, lyrics, and performance all need more work for this track to really come into its own. I don't know why Nicki is realeasing it. If I were her, I'd try to rerecord this song on a similar production at a later date.

I'm the last to hate on Nicki, because it always seems the to-do thing. This song just doesn't really do it for me, though.

I don't really care for Swizz and still trying to figure out what all the fuss about Nicki is... she honestly has a few great lyrics here and there but can we get a few solid songs (minus Drake) from her before we crown her?
