Wikipedia article"'Blazin'" is a song by American hip hop artist Nicki Minaj that features Kanye West, from her debut studio album 'Pink Friday' (2010). The hook was freestyled by Minaj in the studio. BackgroundEarlier in the year of 'Pink Friday's release, Minaj had a guest verse on West's single "Monster" from his album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' (2010). "Blazin" leaked online on November 17, 2010, along with fellow album track "Fly" that features Rihanna. Composition and recordingThe song includes a sample of 1985 recording "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds. Minaj revealed via Twitter in March 2017 that she had to beg West to not be on fellow album song "Right Thru Me", as he really wanted to get on it, and also that the hook on "Blazin" was freestyled by her in the studio. Critical receptionAfter hearing the leak, 'HipHop-N-More' described Minaj and West as being a 'lethal combination'. 'Idolator' cited the track as an example of 'Pink Friday's 'club-ready dance tunes'.
