MONSTER

I like that people are finally starting to like/appreciate her. Seems like a lot of my Facebook friends that were hating on her a few months ago are now happily posting her new videos and songs like "Nikki's killing it on this!" It ain't even like she changed her style! I heard a freestyle she did some 2-3 years ago and she was doing the same cutesy growl voice.

it's true.
but jay has periods of greatness on this. actually, everyone's verse gets better with repeated listens...again, except ross.
there are a lot of rick ross fans on here - is he better than this?

I'm just not there yet with her.
So you want to hear her do new monster voices?

one thing I really appreciate about Nicki Minaj is her heavy NY/Queens accent. You rarely hear that anymore.

Nah - I'm fine with her regular voice.

A lot of people hate Nicki because of their own baggage. They project stereotypes on her w/out actually listening to her rap. True rap fans can't deny her skills.

I was saying elsewhere a while ago that a lot of the people who criticise her would cheerfully flip over exactly the same kind of bizarre non-sequiturs and cartoon surrealism when someone like Kool Keith is spitting 'em.

Late pass on this as been away from the web for a few days but I'm liking this a lot, first thing I've heard from Kanye in a while which makes me excited for his new album. When I saw Bon Iver's name on there I thought it was a joke but it's not intrusive and certainly a cut above having that fucking guy from Maroon 5 on there. Also, I 
Minaj.
Minaj.Ughhh, i can't beleive you guys liking Minaj on this, this shit is truly poison to my ears, though when Busta does the voice switch up it's pretty good, as well Lil Wayne and Missy, when Nicki does it it's just absolute crap and obnoxious.
And yes Rick Ross is better than the 5 seconds of rapping he does here, he's really entertaining and (gasp) good.
Songs great, i need a version w/o that last verse
peace,xavier

Or they wish she didn't bury her skills under a gimmick.
Yes. All three of those tracks you posted above are straight up good, and so much better than the crap i've heard on the radio from her when she does some stupid little voice.

Returning briefly to the subject of Jay, I think it would have been better for all concerned if this 'lost' cut from the Kingdom Come sessions had stayed lost.
