NEW MUSIC: "Roman's Revenge 2.0" by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne


"Roman's Revenge" is the massive diss record released by Nicki Minaj that sent the internet a flutter and featured Eminem. It was immaculately produced and featured scathing verses from both emcees, but a song this good surprisingly did not feature the musical patriarch of Minaj's career, the one and only Lil Wayne. That is, until now. The song has undergone a renovation with Weezy replacing Em's verse, along with a more pronounced Nicki during the chorus.

Listen to the track below:

Although I enjoy me some Lil Wayne, this track is best left alone as a Nicki & Eminem collaboration. It almost sounds as if Weezy is trying to incorporate some of the signature personality transformations that the original two presented with near perfection. That's not to say that Wayne hasn't done it before, but the original sounds more impressive and, quite honestly, doesn't uphold or compete with the original arrogance of Eminem's verse. Perhaps an original Nicki & Weezy collaboration is needed.
