7 new songs + Va Va Voom for the re-release. Here is again the rapper Nicki Nicki-and not the singer-Roman-Nicki.
In the Physical relase next to the CD1 (8 tracks) and CD2 (19) there is a behind the scence DVD. Now I'm more into the songs
..............
1. Up In Flames - TOP TOP TOP! The best that Nicki could offer in their career! Horny lyrics and Top Gospel Choir sample
2. Freedom - Here she raps about their "friends and foes". Good but first single? Ne, not the best of the Re-Up Bonus CD
3. Hellyeah - boring .... no more than that
4. High School - Fan favorite - a typical Hip Hop! Something was always by 99-03 in the charts. Lil Wayne is getting worse, as mentioned in passing.
5. I'm Legit - well, one could compare with The Boys, but is slightly worse than The Boys. Somehow reminds me of the would-be rap from Lady Gaga "Cake Like Lady Gaga" which can be found on youtube.
6. I Endorse These Strippers - I'm Your Leader 2.0, or structured as IYL. very good! I love it, although each of the 3 raps about something else ...
7. The Boys - Promo single, very good. The video has become very good. Cassie has had no more hit for years, after 6 years she comes back to appear ...
8 Va Va Voom - Video is out side, although this video Nicki hates, it has become not as bad as she thought. Okay, the clip has been built very bland, but is still very good. The song anyway ...
Highlights: Up In Flames, High School & The Boys
Highlight Lyric of "I'm legit" ... Got a shout-out from Obama ... just plain cool!

My review for Use Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (3.4.12)
.............
1. Roman Holiday - has a good rap, but the chorus is crazy
2. Come On A Cone - Can you compare Nu.1, only that it sounds crazy here
3. I Am Your Leader - Highlight! Nicki has two rap verses, Slick and Cam'Ron each a rap verses. The Perfect Hip Hop song from the album
4. Beez In The Trap - one more song (as Nu.1 and Nu.2) the very sounds as recycling, as the chorus that is einfalslos
5. HOV Lane - Could be a highlight, if it had a good rapper as Guest (and I mean certainly not Lil Wayne or Drake)
6. Roman Reloaded - You can listen to, but is nothing special. Wayne's part is the worst since he made the "Roman's Revenge Remix"
7. Champion - Highlight! Some compare this one with "Moment 4 Life", but for me this one is worlds better than M4L. Nas and Drake's part is good, but Jeezy's part is nothing special
8. Right By My Side - Highlight! A good song by Nicki sings and raps.
9. Sex In The Lounge - OK ... I could live without this one
10. Starships - Highlight! It disco funk house track by Nicki raps a bit only the beginning and then sings something
11. Pound The Alarm - Could be for J.Lo, because Red-One's beats are predictable and equal (after 5 years ...). Jennifer Lopez could be more than Nicki
12. Whip It - Highlight! Here Nicki raps and sings. A very good song
13. Automatic - Good, but in this world there is (the last 3 years) too much of this variety. I could get along without this also
14. Beautiful Sinner - Good, but not good. A good rap on this beat would be much much much better
15. Marily Monroe - Disappointing, I could and can do anything with it
16. Young Forever - Highlight! Beat this one had already heard several times, but still a little "fresh" -it has. A really good song, no rap, Unfortunately
17. Fire Burns - Nothing special, an album filler with "No image" quality, I mean, even Rihanna, Keri Hilson, or Katy Perry could sing, might be better
18 Gun Shots - no highlight, but worth listening to. Funny song, it's quite a bit
19. Stupid Hoe - Highlight ?! Yes, because there are a lot of songs with the same beat as prick "Stupid Hoe" out with the "Woo-Woo-Woo" sound. Is a really stupid song when one understands what Nicki are from, but I like it more than "Beez in the Trap"
CD2 Highlights: I'm your leader, Whip It, starships, champ, hov lane and come on a cone (without his chorus;))
