Apr 3, 2012This is legitimately one of the worst Pop albums I have ever heard. There is almost nothing redeemable to this album. Nicki MInaj believed her own hype and created something dangerously bad.
-
Apr 3, 2012Nicki Minaj is NOT just a rapper. She's trying to breakout of her little box labeled "rapping only" and reaching new heights. It should be clear that people try to become more diverse. It may sound like a lifeless, cheap album with fillers, but after hearing it again, listening to the lyrics, the songs became very catchy.
-
Apr 3, 2012One of the worst album of the year. Absolutely awful.
-
Jan 24, 2013This album was over-whemingly disappointing, after the moderate debut by the female rapper, Better was expected. Unfortunately not. If the follow up to this is double the disappointment, Nicki will have to search the dustbin for fresh songs.
-
Dec 16, 2014The best album of Nicki, she managed to put the rap with pop perfectly, thrilling beats, good vocals that make this album something wonderful to hear.
Highlights: Starships and Whip It
Lows: Champion and Sex In The Lounge -
Feb 23, 2014Not bad for a rapper's album. I personally loved 11 out of 19 songs in the album. The rest of the songs were too generic and you have to listen to it at least a million times before it actually grows on you. Overall, it is a great effort for Nicki Minaj. Even though her range was limited, it was still properly utilised and I appreciate her for that.

Jun 5, 2017Pink Friday... Roman Reloaded remains Minaj's strongest album to date, showing the diversity of this woman's diversity as well as paving the way for new and upcoming female rappers.

Apr 6, 2012Man. Nicki Minaj should've used her mixtape persona on this album. i don't like the way how she combines pop and hip-hop. It's alright when she's rapping, but mostly it's a poppy rap blur. if she keeps going like this, im not listnening to her music anymore. her next effort must be hardcore rap. But i don't mind those few pop songs though. but she can do better.

Apr 5, 2012This album is excellent, it blends hip hop tracks and pop dance tracks as well as RnB. Whenever an artist makes a crossover album it's always expected to get mixed reviews but Roman Reloaded is a sure hit and is filled with amazing songs.
-
Apr 12, 2012This album is amazing!!! I really love it,cause hip-pop,pop-dance and RNB are mixed fantastic.It contains lots of hit singles!!!Maybe there are some people think this albumâ

Apr 3, 2012RR has its moments, but it's too chaotic. If Nicki wants to stick to pop, then she should do so, but she's trying to mix electro-pop tracks with rap, which results in a very confusing album. Apart from that, the album is way too long. In fact, about half the tracks are inferior to the rest, and could have been easily left out. Tracks 1-6, 10-13 and 19-21 : that's how the album should have been.

Apr 6, 2012Pink Friday Roman Reloaded is a really great album. It's diverse and shows that Nicki Minaj isn't just a rapper & is talented in other fields. Love the album.

Apr 3, 2012Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded starts off with heavy hip-hop beats and seemingly endless collaborations. Then finishes with danceable music that you can't help but sing along with. The album may not be perfectly structured as some releases, but it does not make this album ANY less fun than anything out there.

Apr 3, 2012miss the old Nicki, the album sound is like a J.Lo rapper, Red One needs to create new sounds because this is so commercial, btw. track 10 to 14 is like a mega mix. but this album got some good tracks too
-
Apr 3, 2012I'm in love some of you might disagree but Nicki is very smart and knows what she is doing , she might not be full rap here but you have to understand that after Super Bass got big she got more fans mainly pop ones and have to cater to there needs also so let her do her and lead her career in the right direction stop being one track minded and start accepting people for their versatility !
-
Apr 3, 2012Nicki Minaj is able to keep her old fans happy with rap tracks such as "Roman Holiday" and "Champion" but turns pop with tracks like "Pound The Alarm", "Starships" and "Va Va Voom" to satisfy a wider audience. Great album, 10/10 !!
-
Apr 3, 2012She did her best and i like her voice,when she is singing/rapping.
I don't give a 10 because "Roman in Moscow" is missing
And i do not give a 9 because i hate "Stupid Hoe"....
The rest is nearly perfect,like "Starships" or "Next to You".
Great record of a great Singer :D
I love Nicki -

Apr 3, 2012Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded shows that you can't box Nicki in. No matter what anyone says or criticizes, it just shows that she got you gurls hot && bothered. Number 1 debut on iTunes? Starships still in the Top 10? Right By My Side's fast rising? She's winning tho

Apr 3, 2012A bit disappointed that we are not getting hardcore Nicki... Her featured verses>>> However, PF:RR is a great hip-pop album. But that's just what it is. There's nothing memorable about it. Looking back on Nicki's career this album won't be referenced. Next album, more rap.
-
Apr 3, 2012What ever happened to the Nicki minaj that wanted to be a better rapper than Jay-Z? thats not gonna happen (never will) if she keeps making 5 year old bubble gum pop garbage. Worst album in the last 5 years

Apr 3, 2012First of all, don't get me wrong. I like Nicki, she's great but this album can't even be compared to Pink Friday. Too many generic songs with lots of autotuned and overproduced. It's like if she were trying to mix Hip-Hop and Pop but the result is not good at all. Just a few songs on this album live up to the expectations everyone had about this album...
-
Apr 4, 2012this **** is WACK as **** ! it's honestly trash! from track 1 to whatever it is cause i don't want to remember that i even heard that **** it might be the worst album i have ever heard in my life, she's horrible. If you like this then you like ****
-
Apr 4, 2012Nicki Minaj has to be the worst thing to ever happen to music. I listened to the album to see what all the hype was about, whilst listening to it i felt IQ pack up leave my head, it was so bad i felt myself become stupid listening to it.

Apr 8, 2012Best album of the year! It has rap, hip-hop, pop, electronic, ballads, all in one great album! Truly fantastic! Congratulations for Nicki! Getting better and better within each album!
-
Apr 10, 2012This album is completely honest & fun. I love every single track. Wow. I love how she blended hard lyrics on insane beats. Thanks to HitBoy. I'm completely blown away. I never thought Nicki would go this hard. She amazes me every time. I wonder how her next project will sound. You guys just hate the fact that she is boasting about her success. Besides, she's her own competition.

May 26, 2012Fluff for the ears, but just barely. Starships is pure pop music without and lyrics to chew upon, but the rest left me wishing i just did not listen to it.
-
Jul 10, 2012The first 9 songs as a whole barely pass as good. The rest of the album is pure garbage. Incohesive, messy, all over the place, rushed, Just, trash. Terrible follow up to Pink Friday
-
Jan 28, 2013Probably a little better than her first album but it still holds a good half of songs that you can skip, so luckily with more than 20 songs there are at least another half worth listening to.
-
Apr 24, 2013This is what you get for having a fake African American without any talent and sing. Pretty much repetitive lyrics over and over again. I would call this a disgrace to the music industry.
-
Dec 31, 2013Honestly, it's an album of rap or hip hop (mediocre). Not original, also I think what makes it better is the dance. The best songs are (Whip It, Starships and Va Va Voom). Another thing that makes it annoying, is very long. Diciendio conclude that "Roman Holiday" is the worst song on the disc.
-
Apr 8, 2014Jesus Christ,
the cancer some people call music, this album is as shallow as the person who made it. How **** like this reaches main stream is beyond me.
You guys remember good music right? no? me either/s -

Apr 3, 2012Unoriginal, desperate, mediocre. These are the words that best describe this "record". The album has two very different sounds, but in both Nicki sounds terrible.

Apr 6, 2012Great album! She really managed to knock out hip hop tracks that were fire, along with pop tracks that were just as amazing. As a hip hop fan, I love the rap side, but Nicki has managed to get me dancing to songs like Pound The Alarm and Whip It. She really did a great job with this album and deserves success with it.

Apr 13, 2012This is the worst album of 2012. This isn't hip hop, it's pop music, a desperate attempt to put Minaj with the Gagas and the Rihannas in the industry. But at least Gaga and Rihanna make good pop music - this is lifeless, generic, and annoying.

Apr 5, 2012I wouldn't recommend this album to ANYONE.
As a fan of both pop and hip hop music, I found both halves of the album HORRIFYING. The last song of the standard version pretty much sums up the whole album. -
Apr 8, 2012Disgusting. How can people compare her to Missy Elliot or Lil Kim?? Are You Crazy?? This album is **** she's not a rapper!!!!! Great Songs: - Very Good Songs: - Good Songs: - Quite Good Songs: - Bad Songs: - Horrible Songs: All The tracks
-
May 4, 2012Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is a complete mess.
From the awful sound of "Roman Holiday" "Stupid Hoe" (the worst song on the album) & "I Am Your Leader" to the better sound of "Marilyn Monroe" (the only good song on the album), Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded pretty much sums up the awfulness of Nicki's music. -

Nov 11, 2012She's back and this time she has even worst songs. She could be an executioner just by singing to people. How she ever became an artist (along with Drake and Lil Wayne) the world will never know.
-
Jul 15, 2013Unoriginal, mainstream, not worthy for real hip-hop fans. This album has destroyed her career as female rapper, and that's probably her last one. Period.
-
Sep 29, 2013Bubblegum, pop, dumb, non-sense, TERRIBLE lyrics, annoying voice, too much autotune, very very pop. I don't know why this is even classified as a hip-hop album. Between tracks 10-22 there's only bubblegum pop-dance club hits. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Nov 12, 2013the first time i heard it i was like what the am i listening to' Once again leaving her roots of rap and hip hop she turned to pop music. Really BAD pop music. with poor lyricism and so much focus on beef, she once again focused on Lil' Kim and made this album solely on Kim... Re-evaluate your sound, and stop appeasing other outlets ans you will lose in the end.

Apr 3, 2012Absolute rubish, the dance tracks are so generic they are interchangeable among each other, and despite the rap tracks being slightly better, she falls hard with her gimmiks. Pass.

Jan 3, 2014She'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.

Apr 22, 2012Nicki Minaj is probably one of the more talented pop artist in recent years. Is she a good rapper? Yup. Is she a good singer? Yup as well! Hip hop purist would cringe at her mixing of styles, but they're radio friendly. She is a more 'hardcore' version of Rihanna but more or less, a pop princess.

Jun 26, 2012I'm not the fan of rap and I thought that I will not really enjoy this album, but I did. Half of the songs on the album just make you want to stand up and dance. It's really great to listen singing and rapping in the same song. No matter if like rap or not, I would like this.

Mar 24, 2013One Of The Best Albums Of 2012! Roman Returns! Every Song Off Roman Reloaded Is Amazing! One Of The Mot Underated Album Of The Year!
-
Mar 27, 2013Amazing lyrics and jaw-dropping songs show Nicki Minaj is "where the top begins." Stand out tracks like "Starships," "Pound the Alarm," "Whip It," and "Marilyn Monroe" 'touch the sky' (as quoted from "Starships") Minaj turned toward a more musical tone in her sophomore album which unfortunately does not show as much talent, as most tracks are drowned in autotune
-
Aug 16, 2013I enjoyed "Roman Reloaded". Half off the album are pop songs, the other half rap songs. This is Nicki's best album. Best songs are "Come On A Cone" and "Roman Holiday".

Oct 8, 2012It lumps together all the rap tracks on the first half, and lets the pop fluff fill the rest.

The SourceAug 22, 2012Nicki's shining moments are her straight-up, hip-hop tracks. [#252, p.87]

Apr 25, 2012If you enjoy contemporary pop whose market-tested blare offends both rockist philistines and IDM aesthetes, her second album is a worthwhile investment.
