Come on...

We have a lot of time and a lot of love for Nicki Minaj but this is NOT what we wanted from a come back single/video. Basic, tuneless, abrasive, barely a witty or memorable line to be heard. With an epilepsy-inducing video that brings nothing new or interesting to the table. Is this a buzz track? Even so, it's not giving us fire and we expect better. Surely the classy thing to do when you have a debut album with a million successful singles under your belt, is to leave the 'beef' to your lessers and release something timeless and innovative, not rehash old quarrels that were better dealt with the first time round. We mean really. "Roman's Revenge" (which is beyond flawless) put the nail in the whole Nicki vs. Kim thang. Why did Nicki have to dig up that old horse and flog it some more? Stop. We expected better.

We love the overt Grace Jones references though...
