#NewMusic - @NickiMinaj feat. @Eminem - Roman’s Revenge (prod. by @TheRealSwizzz)
[tweetmeme source=“theycallmeTUNE” only_single=“false”] Okay you all know I normally don’t post Nicki stuff, butttttttttttttttttt, this track is special.
Nicki Minaj and Eminem’s alter egos, Roman Zolanski and Slim Shady, are not known for their restraint. On Minaj’s much-buzzed about Pink Friday collabo with Em and Swizz Beatz, “Roman’s Revenge,” both MCs demonstrate how bonkers they can get, trading outrageous bars packed with lyrical fury. Click “Tune In” below for the song and analysis.

The only reason I posted it besides the fact that EMINEM KILLED IT, is that Minaj took jabs at Brooklyn femcee Lil’ Kim, who publicly took issue with the Young Money diva earlier this year.
“Word, that bitch mad ‘cause I took the spot? Well, bitch, if you ain’t sh——, then get off the pot/ Got some n—– out in Brooklyn that’ll off your top,” Minaj rhymes.
Minaj closes the track by invoking Roman’s horrified mother, a newly minted character the Young Money Barbie said would be introduced on Friday.
When Minaj revealed to MTV News during her “RapFix Live” interview that she, or more accurately, her rambunctious British alter ego, Roman, would be going bar-for-bar with one of the hip-hop’s legendary personas, fans knew the resulting track would be an instant must-hear. However, the lyricist said the collaboration took a while to come to fruition.
“We went out on a whim and put it in the air like, 'It’d be great if he would collaborate with us,’ ” Minaj said.“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 didn’t say, 'I don’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.”
