    The re-up is an essential extention with more highlights introduced. It's honestly impressive stuff here.

    The album is no longer amazing, to be another selection of "Pink". The album has its weary ones, where everything in the Nicki is new or great, that is disappointed. Nicki abused their partnerships, which is not bad but an album already released should not have a fatigue like this.

    This is a review for "The Re-Up". Not the DVD or the other CD "Roman Reloaded". Nicki wows me again. "The Re-Up" is all rap, except for a chorus or two. Really great album. Great collaborators, great songs, great everything.

    Aqui vai uma crítica do "The Re-Up", não do resto do CD "Roman Reloaded". Finalmente reparamos no verdadeiro rap, no trabalho lírico satisfatório de Nicki Minaj, nas colaborações aprováveis e num pequeno vestígio de criatividade nesta produção.

    Trashy songs, Trashy fanbase, Trashy Artist, And she really has to pull the race card against Iver when she is an untalented loser at the Grammys? Lame. Please can we just cancel her career already. She's god awful. PLEASE People do us a favor and quit streaming this idiot!

    i'm not exaggerating. My hears hurt after listening to this. The songs suck. Nicki Minaj... I'm not sure what the hell she is. She's worries about the problems of a 13 year old ans I think she might be a couple hundred years old and survives by feeding people her horrible excuse for music.

    The first part of this album is amazing. It really shows how strong Minaj’s lyrical ability is, and that is, in my opinion, the thing that stands out the most. After this “re-up” ends, the original album begins, and this is where this project starts to get monotone and boring. The number is songs I genuinely enjoyed is smaller than 10.

Starting an album with Roman Holiday is good for a laugh (hence changed to Up In Flames here) but is a really conflicted and ultimately mediocre song and that taste in your mouth comes to define the album overall, but with incendiary, insane ventures like Come On A Cone and the equally biting and funny ventures Beez In The Trap and I Am Your Leader backing them up, there's definitely stuff to love here.… Expand

    É um álbum arriscado, que, se baseando na formulação de pink friday que buscou fundir rap e pop, nesse nicki tentou rap e edm, as vezes funcionando, em outras não, como um projeto longos, as tentativas frutradas acabam deixando esse album algo meio a meio

    In addition to the already 20-ish songs there are an additional few more new tracks in this re-issue. All up the album is still just OK as there are too many skip-worthy tracks, but at least there are a few stand-outs like the singles.

    Um ótimo EP para equilibrar as músicas com a outra parte do álbum, trazendo mais elementos do Rap e mostrando mais uma vez o quão criativa ela consegue ser.

    Love the addition of the more hip hop tracks it balances the whole project out well. Freedom is definitely a top 10 of her career.

    Not good at all. This album isn't really good. I root for High School though, that is one of her best tracks. I like her pop-rap better than rap itself. She should just do PF:RR or PF type of music, not this. 1/2 score because of High School.

    It's good, but still a decent re-release for Nicki Minaj. I don't know if she's gonna do well on "American Idol" and getting along with Mariah Carey. I thought the feud is gonna be on and poppin'. Mariah hates Nicki, Nicki hates Mariah, Randy Jackson no longer be a judge on the show. I can't wait for the new Idol in 2013.

    Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded--the Re-Up deixa de ser um álbum brilhante, para ser apenas mais um da série Pink...
    Ficou muito cansativo, parece que o mesmo álbum de estreia, aonde tudo sobre Nicki era novo e maravilhoso.

    Just like anyone else, with "Pink Friday; Roman Reloaded", i taught that her carrier is over and she's the worst rapper alive. But she proved me wrong. With these 7 new songs you will see the true Nicki, the Nicki without the crazy wigs and bad pop songs. So proud of her.

    Almost every review on her is either bias or too much. I mean every one has a 10 or a 0. Here is a reliable review from someone who heard it without loving her or hating. 27 songs OK that's what Im talking about non-stop party. OK. But Id say half are actually good. Fire Burns, Automatic, Pound the Alarm, Whip It, Starships, Roman Reloaded, Up In Flames, and The Boys are good to listen to.Almost every review on her is either bias or too much.

    Her biggest objective re-releasing Roman Reloaded was going platinum. Whatever, it is still stuck on 855,000 copies.

    This is probably the best what we're going to see about her. And is still weak. VERY weak compared to some hip-hop ladies from the past, mainly her nemesis Lil' Kim.

    As always, she included a damn pop song to increase her sales which was the only charting song on the EP.

    A failed attempt at a return to form. Her flow is as good as ever but the production really weighs the EP down and it just drags. Maybe she'll get the perfect mix of both next time.

    The new songs added to this album are such smashes omg. High school is literally a cultural reset. The boys is a BOP!!! And Freedom is such a powerful song. Va va voom is also a cultural reset. And in “I Endorse These Strippers” maybe that’s why Cardi felt like she can make music. But she shouldn’t. Cardi tanked.

    An extra eight-track CD of new material, which is our primary concern here. [It does not] adds much to the Minaj experience.

    Special note to the freakazoids who think "Starships" killed hip-hop: the rapper who rhymes "fri-vo-lous" with "po-ly-ga-mist" is X-Acto sharp as ever.
