Analyze This! A Breakdown of Guest Features on Nicki Minaj's 'Roman Reloaded' Album
With Nicki Minaj's wide range of ever-present musical personas, it's becoming increasingly difficult to shine on a track with Young Money's princess. But with the release of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded Nicki managed to line up an all-star cast of collaborators who are more than fit for the challenge. Between choruses crooned by Breezy and Bobby V and verses spit by hip hop veterans by the likes of Nas and Cam'ron, it's hard to say which guest appearance added the most to Nicki's hit-filled sophomore album but we've done so anyway. Take a look at our breakdown of the guest appearances on Roman Reloadedfrom best to worst. -- Jazmine Gray
Why He Should Be On The List: Like Jim Jones, Cam's been flossing for years now. The guy shows up to stores in a bathrobe and walks out with a fresh new outfit. You're telling us he's not paid?
Why He's Not On It: Rather than record a new solo album, Cam's done nothing but give away his music for free over the course of the last year. Boss of All Bosses, Boss of All Bosses 2, Boss of All Bosses 2.5—when will it end?
What He Needs To Do To Make It Next Year: Let Vado off his leash (he's earned it, Killa) and get back to work on a solo project. Those Roc-A-Fella royalty checks can't still be coming in, can they?
