I do actuallly hear it a lot on the radio though, here in the UK. There's a Lil Wayne version that gets played a lot, but even the original version gets played sometimes too, despite the lyrics.


Completely uncensored? On some big station? Impossible in the US. And on MTV.

No, they did censor a lot out of it, but yeah, it was on a big station. It's an urban radio station though.

And it won't be played on MTV anyway, since it doesn't have a music video!!

And on Wikipedia it says its been played on US radio aswell (although obviously, they'd've censored it too).

The song garnered very positive reviews from critics, most of which praised the song as a stand-out track on the album. However, the song gained negative reception and attention due to Eminem's homophobic and anti-gay lyrics. Most even questioned Minaj's alter-ego, Roman Zolanski as an angry-gay-male and Minaj's large gay fan-base. An official remix featuring Minaj's mentor, Lil Wayne, was released to the U.S. iTunes store on January 19, 2011 and will be sent to U.S. Urban contemporary and Urban adult contemporary radio stations on February 8, 2011.


And it reached #23 on the Rap airplay chart in the US, and #29 on the Urban chart in the UK, although the LIl Wayne version hasn't been released in the UK, I think.
