Early this year, Nicki Minaj hit the world with her sophomore album, Roman Reloaded, the sequel to her 2010 debut, Pink Friday. Nicki Minaj, signed to Young Money, was one of the biggest new artists to hit in 2010. Anticipation for her sophomore album was high and expectations were high.

While Nicki Minaj put out a great compilation of music, her album was panned by hip hop critics for being too pop. Including 22 tracks on the album, Nicki Minaj argued she had something for everyone. Critics said she piled too much on one album and now it seems as if Nicki Minaj is giving the people what they want.

Giving out a few new tracks in time for the holiday season, Nicki Minaj has planned a re-release of Roman Reloaded. The re-release comes in the form of The Re-Up, eight new tracks from Nicki Minaj. Coming with the new album will be a DVD of her recent tour and songs from the original album.
