Nicki Minaj - Roman in Moscow
Artist: Nicki Minaj
Producer: Street Runner and Sarom Soundz
Album: Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
Label: YM/CM/Universal Motown
Where does Nicki Minaj keep Roman Zolanski, her diabolical alter-ego, when he’s not in use? It’s a question that it’d never occurred to me to ask - don’t alter-egos typically stay in the same body as normal egos, anyway? - but apparently it does have an answer: he returns to Mother Russia. Roman in Moscow, the newly-released opening track and lead single off the Young Money hitmaker’s sophomore album, finds Minaj doing what (in my not-so-humble opinion) she does best: delivering aggressive, occasionally absurd, hyperkinetically-flowed bars over a hard-hitting instrumental, “no motherf*cking hook” necessary. Over Street Runner and Sarom Soundz’ chopped string/brass samples and pounding bass, the femcee announces her triumphant return to the game, advising listeners to brace themselves (“Bucktooth!”) for the dopeness that awaits on her second album. So readers, are you ready for Minaj/Zolanski to “[f*ck] up yo life?” like (s)he did this time last year? Then keep it locked for all the latest on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which as-yet lacks a solid drop date.

I'm not feeling her flow on this track. I have been liking her flow more and more lately, but this sounds like a step back. I still got love for Nicki, but not this track...

So, I was thinking "near garbage" but the energy was saving it: I had clicked 2 stars. Then, at about half-way, it gets so horrid...like I can't even describe in words how terrible this song gets after the first minute and 20 seconds.

On first listen it was very annoying, she switches her voice to much. But given that its only a promo single to get hype, it serves it's purpose.

In my mind I dared Nicki to repeat her success and though this song actually makes no sense it does have some energy to it...Lets see what Roman has in store for us.

I apologize Nicki, but after giving you many, many chances to prove yourself, you still show zero development as an artist. This is Soulja Boy-grade mess, with an even more annoying voice. I'm done.
