After an initial listen, this song is all over the place, but this isn't a bad thing. This Cassie feature and vocal is just random and out of nowhere but I don't understand how it speeds up and slows down. This is mainly because her vocals are taken from her song "Money on Love", intended to be the second single from her serially delayed new album. With that said, Cassie's chorus is one of the best aspects of the song, and with Minaj's rapping antics, this is solid.

This is Minaj's best effort for a urban-pop crossover since "Super Bass." All of the pop tracks on the original Roman Reloaded really didn't appeal to an urban audience but this has the potential! It is a very good chance that this could be a hit of "Starships" proportions, and could propel Cassie, who just released a single, back into the pop atmosphere
