My detailed review of the Rap side of the album I hope u enjoy it.


Roman Holiday -10 - one of the best songs Nicki has ever done! The production of the song is insane! The verses are just hot and are definitely a highlight. The song itself is so haunting I absolutely love it. You can just feel the passion of this song so much!!!!!

Come on A Cone - 8 - another greatly produced song. This song just makes me laugh for the legendary line which we all know what I'm talking about. The song flows so well from Roman Holiday.

I am Your Leader - 8- the chorus of this is soooo good. The production is quite similar to its preceding track. But nonetheless still very enjoyable. Cam'ron's verse is really good too!!!! 

Beez in the Trap - 7- didn't really like this song at first but the title gets stuck in your head sooo much! Pure urban nicki at her best tho even tho of its not my specific cup of tea. Love the last verse that's my fave 

HOV Lane - 9- THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!!! It's almost a good as Roman Holiday. This is just my absolute jam. The chorus, the production, the personality just is all so on point. 

Roman Reloaded - 8- loved this since it for released as a promo track and i still love it. Te thumping drums/bass make this for me. Lil' Wayne irritates me but his verse is surprisingly good but I still don't like him. The gun noise is so addictive. 

Champion - 7- she tried to create Moment 4 Life with this but it falls short it's a good song nonetheless but it isn't as catchy as M4L and Jeezy sounds like he is dying he irritates me more than Lil Wayne. The production is quite unusual and it does seem to work it quite euphoric actually.

Right By My Side - 8- love this song it's so catchy. One of my favourites to listen too on the urban side of the album. Chris doesn't disappoint as a feature either. The production however let's down the song IMO. 

Sex In The Lounge - 6- I don't get all the hate for this song it's a catchy song IMO. Even if it is the weakest song out of the urban tracks I still think its an enjoyable listen doesn't sound like a Nicki song tho. 

Gun Shot - 6- again similar thoughts to this as the last song. It's enjoyable but I just don't really see the point in it would have much rather of had roman in Moscow on the album instead of this 

Stupid Hoe - 8- I love this song that is all I don't have to justify why i like
It haha

And now the pop side


Starships -10- when I first heard the guitar opening of this song i knew this would be my song of 2012! Seriously this is the best party song I've heard since Till the World Ends. It just reminds me of summer being out and about in the sun with your friends having a massively good drunk time. 

Pound the Alarm - 9- called starships 2.0 and true they are very similar! I love the fog horn sound in this haha it is an extremely good party track. I get a more wintry club vibe from this song tho 

Whip it - 8- if this is released as a single I can guarantee you everyone will be singing "hey stranger over their I'm liking the way that you whip it whip it" the production is on point it is slightly lacking tho from its proceeders.

Automatic -9- for this song I'm here for the dubstep breakdown that's what makes the song!!! The chorus is addictive too!!!!!

Beautiful Sinner -7- this should have been on the deluxe edition. It's good and the verses are 10x better than the chorus but not good enough to be on the standard IMO. 

Marilyn Monroe -6- not really sure what to make of this song it's lyrically very good but the production is to heavy for me and it doesn't fit the mood of the song. 

Young Forever -10- NEXT SINGLE please!!! Every time I listen to this song I get this lump in my throat and emptiness in my stomach. I connect with this song so much it is so beautiful!!!

Fire Burns -8- Save Me Part 2 and that is my fave track off off PF!! Not as good as Save Me thought but it still is a beautiful tho. 

Turn Me On - 10- ADORED this from the very beginning. The production the vocals and The RAP especially are just AMAZING!!!! Another highlight so glad it got included in the album. 

Va Va Voom - 9- Super Bass part 2 and this could easily be as good as super bass IMO when I give it lots of more spins!!!! Production is top notch!!!!

Masquerade -9- this is beautiful love this a lot more ATM than VaVa Voom can't believe people think this is just subpar!!!! Blasphemy :D

This is growing on me but I still think she could come harder and the tracklist could be cut down to about 14 songs.

She'd be a fool not to release Va Va Voom.

Easily the best song

Two separate EP's would have been a good idea like what Robyn did. I get bored too quickly these days with so much material out there so I couldn't deal with a 2 disc album :lol:

1.Roman Holiday I love soo much the sickness in this track! It's FYAH! Verses are the best part, no doubts but i like the chorus too! And i love how the chorus is sooo different to verses, like there are two songs in one, love that! Love her rapping in verses, it's so sick! Don't like Come all ye faithful...part, but it suits the song perfectly! Also it's a grrreat way to open an album! One of the best tracks on the album seriously and i'm so glad she performed cause it was fire! Bitch, twitch, bitch! Motherfuckers right, this is world war six!!! 8-) 5/5

Come On A Cone The beat is SICK but i kinda feel like something's missing... But i still love this track! It could've been much better, chorus kinda ruin it. I like her crazy voice in it(in chorus) but damn it should been better :lol: I LOVE when she's finishing chorus and calms her voice down, it's insaaaaane! Also it would be better longer definitely, more words in chorus wont hurt the song! I loooove when she sings Put my... on your face eventhough it's pointless :lol: And i also looove the ending! 4/5

I Am Your Leader I am your leader, yes i am your leader! You not a believer? Suck a big d*ck*! 8-) Fierce song! One of my favorites as well cause the song flows perfectly! The beginning has to be my favorite part with a lil bit of drums :o FYAH! Also, Rick Ross and Cam'Ron did an amazing job here! Just gave Rihanna my page... :P Luuuuv it! The only think i "dont like" has to be that part when she sings I am your leader... over rapping of Rick and Cam'Ron :-? She should just wait for her part :lol: But oh well, LOOOVE this track! 5/5

Beez In The Trap Grrrrreat track! The beat is sick, her voice is sick, lyrics are stupid and sick :lol: Dont know how said it already but her voice is annoying in verses, don't know why but i still love it! U hundred motherfuckers can't tell me nothing! And can somebody tell me what Beez In The Trap means anyway? Anyway, it's a great great urban track! Don't see why it's a single but oh well... Oh and i just can't overplay this song, and i played it a lot, i mean A LOT! Favorite part has to be Damn, damn what they say about me?...4/5

HOV Lane INSANE! I can't believe i wasn't happy with that snippet or with the full song when i first heard it :o It has to be one of my faves too! Love the bitchy sound in her voice :lol: It's so fiiierce but damn it should last a lil bit longer! Best part is bridge before the last chorus: What the f*ck it look like? What the f*ck it's hitting fore? Tell em b*tches yyyyou aint about that life! Chorus is amazing as well! The beat is definitely one the best on the album, it's sooooo SICK! 8-) 5/5

Roman Reloaded Well this may be my least urban song after all. I like it though but something's missing here! Chorus is kinda stupid and way to repetive but the beat after Bang, my sh*t bang is sick and that must be my fave part along with Wayne's part! He did AMAZING job here! The ending of his part is crazah 8-) His voice fits perfectly on this! But song after all could be much better with a bit catchier chorus, but oh well... It's still a great! I won't skip it, definitely! 3.5/5

Champion YAAAAAAAAAHS! Definitely the ittrack, a highlight of the album, NO DOUBTS! First: the lyrics are really sweet and her voice and singing is really good! I love how this is Moment 4 Life of the album but it's nothing like that track! The instrumental is really good, i can really see myself having long walks while listening to this! Such a magical track! And can somebody please tell me what she says after It's a celebration... in chorus? I just can't understand it :-? Lovely song! My favorite! And it was said before but yeah, Jeezy's part kinda sucks but i can live with it :lol: Tell me when i change girl, but only when i change cause i live this sh*t forreal! 5/5

Right By My Side The REAL summer anthem of the album, not those dance/poppy tracks :x Loooove it! Even Chris did amazing job on this(and he iritates me soooo much but i love his part too)! Lovely lyrics and i just love almost every urban song where she sings cause she's doing a great job! And i'm quite happy this is becoming a single cause i can see it doing pretty well, especially here in Serbia! Reminds me of summer so much and i just can't wait to lAY in the grass and sing this with my friends! YAAAY! Such a cute song! 4/5

Sex In The Lounge I have quite weird feelings about this song... I love it and i hate it! Chorus is so irritating, TOO MUCH autotune :-? But her part at the beginning is really good! And it feels like she's in the feature not that it's her track :x Lil Wayne's part is really good here too but there's way too little Nicki on this! It could've been better... Maybe it grows on me but for now 3/5

This is the moment when urban tracks finish and i want to cry :cry: :cry: :cry: This part is absolutely AMAZING! And with some other songs from the second part of the album with this 9 tracks would make a PERFECT album! Gonna write review for the others too...

Starships, Pound The Alarm, Whip It, Automatic I don't think i can say so much about 4 upcoming songs cause they are all the same... First Starships, some parts of the songs are so blah it makes me wanna vomit :lol: :-? But for real, it's such a typical song for Red One, and honestly i can't believe she recorded these 4 tracks. This just doesnt go with her very well, neither with this album, with her attitude or anything :( Pound The Alarm also sounds like every "summer hit" , everything's just the same :-? Rapping in verses here is not bad though, i like it but everything else completely ruins it :-? Breakdowns and everything are just meeh, typical... Whip It and Automatic are not even memorable for me. At least i remembered some parts of Pound The Alarm and Starships! But those two are even worse. At the end, who knows, all of them may grow on me(nothing's for sure for me) but for now it's just blah :-? 1.5/5

Beautiful Sinner Well this is similar to previous 4 but it's kinda better. Some parts are quite annoying but some are quite good. I like it but it's definitely not something i would sit down and play but i'd like to hear it in the club... It's just a good album track, nothing more. 2.5/5

Marilyn Monroe This is such a nice pop track :) I like this side of her, a bit more sensetive side! And i loved this song when i first heard and i still love it! Her voice sounds weird in some parts, especially in chorus, but it's a good song! I love it :) 3.5/5

Young Forever Loooooove it! It's even better than Marilyn Monroe and i love them both! I would love to see a video for this song, really! With a nice story and costumes and everything. Somehow it fits perfectly with 20's :) But i think she shouldnt be in the video, she doesnt fit with that period :lol: Such a nice sooong, i love it and i can relate to it so much! 4/5

Fire Burns One of the highlights of the album in my opinion! Nice lyrics and the beat is just so sweet, her voice and singing is on point as always! Also, i'd like to see a video for this too but i doubt we'll have one because a loads of people dont like it, so... :( Also, i wish it's a little bit longer :( 4.5/5

Gun Shot Looove the feature! It could've been a lot better than it is, but i love it this way too! When i first heard a preview i was like HELL NO! But this song is so nice and i love it! Love her rasta accent, wish she sing like that the whole time in the song but it's good already as it is! 4/5

Stupid Hoe The last week i played this like crazy... It's AMAZING! :lol: I really can't understand all the hate towards this track :lol: It's so fierce and crazaaaaaaaaaah 8-) Video is kinda blah but the song is just so good :lol: A highlight of the album! 5/5

Turn Me On I dont like it, i never did. Why the hell she include it anyway? It's already on Guetta's album, totally pointless. Dont know what to say about this but it sounds way too generic and "typical". Hate these kind of songs! 1.5/5

Va Va Voom Definitely the best pop/dance track of the album! It kinda sound similar to RedOne tracks but this one is way better, it just has that grrreat vibe! Chorus is so catchy and ahmazing! 8-) Would like to see this as single, and it probably will be cause everybody loves it. :) 4/5

Masquerade This track is just blah :lol: It's totally pointless in my opinion. But it may grow on me, for now i just dont have an opinion for this track. I dont know if you love it, like it, hate it or i'm ok with it :lol: Weird feelings about this song, dont even know how to rate it! -/5


Overall, i LOVE this album! I'm definitely gonna play it so much these days/months or a whooole year! It's just addictive! Hope she'll do well with this album, she deserves it :)

It seems like we have pretty much the same opinion on dance Nicki me and you RaFanatic! :o :) I'm also really liking Va Va Voom, but Starships, Pound The Alarm, Whip It & Automatic are no good, and i have to compliment you for giving them, what i think is a deserved rating! :wink: :lol:

Eww Beenie Man. Why? She's Trini and should have worked with a Trini artist. A Machel Montano collaboration should have been in the works. Even Pitbull and Lil John has worked with him.

You know I'm actually loving the album on shuffle when it's not packed with too much of the same in one go, I think they should have mixed the tracklisting up a bit.

"Marilyn Monroe" is a nice song, but who would've ever thought Nicki was gonna be singing Miley Cyrus songs when we first heard her :lol:
