    Para que um relançamento de um álbum que já era ruim? Adicionando novas faixas tão fracas como as da versão standard, péssimo.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Highs that soar to psycho EDM rap and infectious pop songs that go toe-to-toe with her best, but so many damn lows.

    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.

    From the opening Up In Flames, it is clear her wordplay is unmatched. The first 3 tracks are lyrically heavy. The 4th with Lil wayne is one of her greatest songs in her career. Track 5 showcasing rhyme schemes and flow that not many of the male rappers could showcase. Track 8 did not need to be included on this piece however.

    She's a weak, terrible rapper, the worst female rapper to ever join the female rap movement. Even with the fact that her next album is gonna flop and she's gonna disappear forever, what Nicki Minaj did to the female rap movement is totally terrible and very scary.

    I heard one song and face palmed, she literally started out as a great rapper and now resorted to generic auto-tuned pop rubbish to gain a larger following, Hip-hop followers have literally just turned their back on her as she some what sold out. The re-up made me lose faith in hip-hop all together, Poor lyricism, poor flow lack of creativity. Pure rubbish.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Freedom features inspiration from other tracks from Minaj such as 'Save Me' and 'Here I Am'.

    The Re-Up is everything you could ask for in Nicki. She blends singing and rapping so well without using the dance tracks to satisfy some hip-hop fans. The songs Freedom, The Boys, and Va Va Voom are something that both genres can listen to without judging its true genre. I really like Up In Flames as wel. It reminds me of something Kayne West would put out. A very critical acclaim trackThe Re-Up is everything you could ask for in Nicki. She blends singing and rapping so well without using the dance tracks to satisfy some hip-hop fans.

It reminds me of something Kayne West would put out. A very critical acclaim track could win a grammy. The other 4 songs(High School, Hell Yeah, I'm Legit, and I Endose These Strippers) cater to the hip-hop fans that fell in love with her during her mixtape days.

    Another thing I love is that none of the features overshadow her unlike her previous work!!!!    … Expand

    Awesome! I love Nicki rap. She's amazing, and this album is epic. The Re Up means quality. I don't like Nicki pop, and i'm glad to see Old Nicki's back. I love it.

    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.

    On most of these tracks, Minaj rises to the occasion.
