- Not to be confused with Pink Friday or Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up (also known as just The Re-Up and written as Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded the Re-Up on iTunes) is a re-release of Nicki Minaj's sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which is set to be released on November 19, 2012.[2][3] After a lot of rumors about her making new music, she officially announced the re-release on September 6, 2012 at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards on the Red Carpet.[4] The exact date of the release was unknown until October 10.[3] The first single of the re-release, "The Boys", was released on September 13. The second single of the re-release, "Freedom", was released on November 3, 2012.
Background
On September 6 at the 2012 VMA red carpet, Nicki told E! News that she will release new material in November and will be putting lots of new songs, and the 1st single would be released in the next week. On September 10, Minaj started a "Q&A time", using the hashtag "#TheReUp". She revealed that she hadn't finish recording,[5] that it would be released in another CD,[6] that Lil Wayne is featured on the album[7] (called "High School"), that the album has a different cover artwork, [8] and that the tracklist consist of 5-8 songs.[9] On September 18, a fan asked for the initials of another song off The Re-Up, and she respond with "IDS,"[10] but that song (or at least the name) was no included in the final track listing of the album. On September 29, 2012, Nicki said on Twitter that she finished writing the Barbz's favorite song off The Re-Up.[11] The next day, a fan asked "what's the initials," and she simply replied, "F",[12] and it's called "Freedom".
On October 10, Rap-Up.com revealed the release date of the album,[2] and it was later confirmed by Minaj, the next day.[3] It was revealed by Amazon that The Re-Up would be a three-disc set, and that it would be released in three different formats: CD, digital download, and Vinyl.[13] On October 25, Nicki confirmed that the album "comes with a 90 minutes DVD of exclusive behind the scenes footage."[14]
The track listing of the album was revealed through iTunes, on November 1,[15] but most of her fans already knew the track listing because of many leaks in the web and that was before she had even released the album.
Artwork
Minaj released the cover artwork of the album on October 11, 2012.[16] It is an image of her in a shoulder-length curly black wig and black bustier with an oversized diamond-shaped pendant necklace resting on her chest.[17] The image is a shot taken of her music video "I Am Your Leader". The cover was done by Jashari Wilson, one of Minaj's biggest fans. Wilson was the same person who designed the Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album cover.[18]
Singles
On September 10, Minaj reveal the name of the lead single, "The Boys". She confirmed a featured female artist on the song[19] and was later revealed to be Cassie.[20] Minaj also said that it is suppose to be released on September 11 or September 12,[21] but it was officially available for digital download on September 13, 2012,[22] and released to Rhythmic radio on September 25.[23]
On November 3, Minaj released the second single from the re-release called "Freedom".[24]
