I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before but much like Yin is to Rihanna and Yang is to Alexandra Burke I think I’m in love with Nicki Minaj. My excitement to get my hands on an upcoming album hasn’t been this high In many a year and it was only heightened when I read the news that Pink Friday would sport 17 songs. A full and proppa album none of this 10 songs crap that artists seem to push in recent years. ‘Roman’s Revenge’ is one of the tracks to feature on the set and features lyrically acclaimed rapper Eminem. Surely Slim Shady and Nicki’s alter ego Roman Zolanski on one track can only produce FIRE? Check it out for yourself.

The Swizz Beatz produced track offers the perfect backdrop for both these insane alter egos to let loose. I would pay particular attention to Nicki’s second verse.
“Is this the thanks that I get for putting you b*tches on? Is it my fault that all of you b*tches gone. Shoulda sent a thank you note you little hoe, now I’mma wrap your coffin with a bow.
Word that b*tch mad cause I took the spot? well b*tch if u ain’t sh*tting, then get off the pot/got some n*ggas out in Brooklyn that’ll off ya top….”
Now who do we think she is talking about, Lil Kim anyone?
When speaking with MTV US recently she revealed that the song was the one song she had the most fun recording whilst also admitting that she had sent Eminem a different song for him to collaborate on but he didn’t think it was for him and instead asked her to send him something that was more him. Peep what she had to say and listen to the song below.
“It was Roman … and it was Slim Shady. The real Slim Shady.
“It was the most fun song on album. It gave me life. Absolutely, darling!”
“We went out on a whim and put it in the air like, ‘It’d be great if he would collaborate with us.’”
“I remember I kept talking about it, and I thought, ‘It can’t hurt.’ I sent him one record, and he didn’t love it… he just said, ‘Can you send me something that’s a little more me?’ I sent him an e-mail and thanked him for that, just having enough respect. Sometimes people don’t respond. He had the respect, at least, to treat me like a peer.” Source
