Nicki Minaj - Girls Fall Like Dominoes
Artist: Nicki Minaj
Producer: Jonathan "J.R." Rotem
Album: Pink Friday
Label: YM/CM/Universal Motown
With heavyweight femcee Nicki Minaj on the mic and superproducer J.R. Rotem behind the boards, listeners with basic pattern-recognition skills may think they know what to expect: a diabolically catchy, synth-drenched banger with a hook straight outta an ‘80s chart-topper, right? Wrong! In actuality, iTunes bonus cut Girls Fall Like Dominoes is a diabolically catchy, synth-drenched banger with a hook straight outta a 2009 indie joint that only sounds like an ‘80s chart topper: specifically, English electro-rock band The Big Pink’s Dominos. So… on second thought, it’s not much different than you’d expect. Over Rotem’s characteristically colossal chords, the Harajuku Barbie waxes poetic about her love for, well, girls – girls of all shapes, sizes, colors and nationalities. And Minaj isn’t above competing with her labelmates for female attention: “...I steal Wayne girls, I steal Drake girls.” Fellas, you’ve been warned. Those digging this joint can get a copy of their very own by copping the digital deluxe edition of Pink Friday when it hits iTunes November 22.

This couldn't crack the regular album version of "Pink Friday"? Why not?
Super catchy sample, radio-ready production from Rotem (whats new?), and Minaj doing what she does best on the mic. I know she is a rapper at heart, but Minaj is really committed to this pop angle and all the better for the longterm prospects of her career. |

I like that it's a girl's song, referencing shows with mostly female audiences and fashion labels that mostly girls would know. The line about Donatella making "mozzarella" was pretty sweet.
But I don't think the hook works here; it doesn't really make it special or cohesive. I usually like her funny style of speaking on her tracks, but it's annoying and feels forced here. A lot of her metaphors and similes and stuff fall flat. She's rapped about liking girls before and it was fun. Here I'm disappointed. I like her. This just kinda sucks. :/ |

Ok, let me start off by saying I'm a HUGE fan of Nicki Minaj. And "Romans Revenge" was horrible, (my opinion). But I am really liking this record from her. The chorus is very catchy and a nic listen. Also, Nicki's verses in this is her doing what she does best. Rap. The production from Johnathan "JR" Rotem is really great. This is a overal great song. I feel like this will be on the top charts. A def BANGER for me. I can't wait to see more on Pink Friday.

I give this 5 stars not because its a classic but because this will take the radio and turn it upside down. It will be in heavy rotation (at least thats what I think). The JR production and sample is on point and Nicki is on fire.

Is there a way I can travel back to a time before I heard this?
Man, it just seems like it's love or hate with Nicki, and I alternate between the two. As much as I thought she killed Monster, that's how aggravating this is. Next. |

I like the original version of The Big Pink’s song, but I have to admit that this has the same good effect.

I gotta agree with Dj Z on this one. I listened to te entire album recently, and I think that is it better than half of the regular album tracks.

The hook/beat is sick... too bad it's got Nicki Minaj rapping over it... This reminds me of the beat on The Ready Set drop and could probably get a huge boost by having The Ready Set on top of this beat rather than NM. 2 1/2 stars for the beat, - 1/2 a star for having to listen to Minaj...

Meh. Nicki's got style & a nice flow.... but this track is too pop in my opinion. I guess it'll reach a bigger audience that way... but not what I was expecting from Nicki Minaj.
