Nicki Minaj - Right Thru Me
Artist: Nicki Minaj
Producer: Drew Money
Album: Pink Friday
Label: YM/CM/Universal Motown
Ever since she started on this campaign towards her debut Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj has been considered all animatronics and little fire. After her verse on Monster changed that perception, we now get new single Right Thru Me, which is the most straight forward Minaj track since her earlier mixtape days. Over swaying production from Drew Money, Minaj questions herself about the good in a relationship and the actions that drive her up the wall. This isn’t a woman scorned, more like a woman championing the power a good relationship has, both the ups and the downs. Her lyrics are drenched in urgency, not in the spastic way she’s been known for, but an urgency for answers and understanding; a vulnerable Minaj is something her critics have been asking for ever since she jocked the Lil Kim pose. While it still may be a bit of a reach for the pop charts, Right Thru Me shows that Minaj can craft an infectious song with serious radio value. If this is any indication of the future, November 23 (aka Pink Friday) may become D-Day for detractors who think a female rapper can’t reach the top once again.

From the get-go, the production is catchy.
I'm not very fond of Minaj's flow in this song; it's too bouncy for my taste. The chorus is verging on extremely annoying. |

In 2010, the only way a female emcee can make it "big" is by going the pop route. Is it sad? No, not at all; just a sign of the always-changing times. Nicki embraces this reality and her new single is an example of such. If she goes the B.o.B. route, she will be just fine longterm.

The production on this track is very simplistic, and in a bad way. I was never a fan of Nikki's vocals, and that doesn't change here. Her flow is is really horrible, it sounds like she has to take a breath after every couple of words and fails to keep to a steady ryhtem. Ill pass.

Ehh, whatever. I like her on guest appearances a bit more than just being alone. Suits her better, kinda like everyone in Young Money. (weird)

Mixed feelings about this one... I'm a fan of Nicki but Im really not feeling the hook and her flow is on the weaker side. Could still work though

It is Nicki Minaj's time. She can sound so sweet and nice but then comes back with fire. True female rapper knows her limits but doesn't hold back. "GET EM"

nickis versatile as f***. I like her man shes got the package. Like kanye said, she can the greatest female MC if she wanted to. But she has to pull a MONSTER 24/7 for that

This just isn’t good enough for me, I can respect the crossover aspect but that alone doesn’t make this a good song.

Someone at the label clearly told Nicki she needed to do at least one track that mainstream radio could play. In other words, please be normal for a minute. So while this is a little cookie cutter, it might just accomplish that mission.

I heard the unedited version last week and I must admit i was definitely on the fence on whether I thought the track was good or bad. A week later...not much has changed! LOL. Its not bad but it isnt great either but it definitely has radio appeal and I have a feeling I will not be able to get that damn hook out my mind in a month.

November 23rd is going to be epic despite the much unneeded skepticism. It's going to validate her as the amazing artist that she is becoming with each single she gives the music world.

If you google female rapper, Nicki Minaj is not even the first result, Pittsburgh's own Kellee Maize is. First Wiz, now Mac, who's next? :)

I give her props on her content on this one versus the wild animated flows she usually does and the crossover appeal i can respect (strings was nice) but overall this is a sleeper and easily forgotten.

This ish is BUTT!!!! Terrible choice for Nicki to do. What is Young Money thinking doin this to her. She is Sick and someone better realize it fast or else she is going to fade to black doin stunts like this. The chorus is very annoying !!! Yuck
