New Song: Nicki Minaj – ‘The Boys (Ft. Cassie)’

Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Cassie,Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj stars in her ‘I Am Your Leader’ video.

Despite her obvious talent, Nicki Minaj’s antics have made her a regular target for mockery in the Hip-Hop community. Yet, the rapper has done little to improve the situation with her new song, ‘The Boys’, which features the one and only, incredibly untalented Cassie.

‘The Boys’ is the lead single from Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up’ album due in November. Minaj has confirmed that the reissued version of her slow-selling ‘Roman Reloaded’ album will entail as few as five new songs and as many as eight.

Is ‘The Boys’ a worthy addition to ‘Roman Reloaded’? Listen to the song below and make that decision for yourself:

Alternate Link

‘The Boys’ is actually a solid record with a catchy melody and a bouncy beat geared toward radio airplay success. Yes, Minaj is simply rapping about her regular topics – her riches and why is better than her competition – but there is no denying that this track is a hit.

The only things that could improve ‘The Boys’ are less “singing” by Minaj and the omission of Cassie. Be clear: Cassie doesn’t sound on the track but any one of the half-naked girls in Diddy’s office could have performed that hook so why didn’t Minaj just do that part herself? Really, with the amount of vocal production they used, we could hardly tell the difference between them anyway.

  To start with, this is Cassie’s song and its original is great

  It’s WACK!

  The song is everywhere, all over the damn place. I don’t like it…
- theman
  
  It is way tooo much going on. This sounds like music for a game. Too much damn noise. What is the point of having Cassie on it??? You can barely hear her, and she can’t even sing when she’s barely singing…

  @theman
  
  I was thinking the same thing, lol. When Cassie ‘sings’ it sound like she be whispering.

  Nicki is either too Pop or she’s rapping too much!
  You all need to find a complaint and stick with it.
  Either way…. This song is FIRE! I quite liked Cassie’s
  ethereal tone with the Guitars. It was a serene counterpart to
  An otherwise fiery, heavy bass, Diplo-inspired Hip Hop record. It was Unexpected & amazing. Bravo Ladies.

  I just want Nicki to rap, like she’s been doing in the past. All this pop crap sucks and she can’t sing.
  
  Either way….this song sucks. My opinion though.

  “Nicki is either too pop or she’s rapping too much!”
  
  Btw, no one has ever complained about Nicki rapping too much. At least I’ve never heard, saw, or read anywhere were people wanted Nicki to stop rapping too much. If anything people want her to stop being too pop.
  
  I did buy me a couple of her songs off of iTunes though. She’ alright, I’ll admit lol.
- TamiahDior
  
  I just can’t picture a grown ass woman or man liking this song, but it could be for those few bubble gum pop teens or the children.
- MmmHmm
  
  WTF!? I CANT STAND THE CHORUS OR THE WAY ONIKA RAPS ANYMORE! #FLOP
- truthteller
  
  Nicki songwriting is not your forte! Get a ghostwriter or a songwriter! This is why you’re verses are only memorable when you’re featured! This sucks its all over the place and her btw verses weren’t bad just nothing special…hear me Onigga….lol
- Guess What
  
  This lesbian talks about the same shit over & over again. She has nit made any music that has substance & she never will. Her flop albums will never be remembered in female hip hop history at all. But everyone still remembers & is still playing “Hardcore”.
  
  The End —–> Onika Tanya Maraj aka lesbian slut is GARBAGE.

  Why do they keep putting out this bullshit? I don’t get it.
- Adam
  
  i love this song! it would have been an amazing summer song tho.
- O_O
  
  What y’all really don’t get is that this is Cassie’s first single. Diddy paid for that. He knows full well this song would not see the light of day if it was Cassie (feat) Nicki.
