Casual buyers/general public are more likely to just buy the standard edition which has fewer songs and is cheaper. Deluxe is for the fans who are willing to pay more.

Rumored tracklisting (probably fake)

But masquerade is a real song, produced by Dr Luke

[Me. I Am Salman]

Va Va Voom is real

[Me. I Am Salman]

"New World Order"
now thats SO fake

[Smithy]

I would LOVE the Comin' Out A Closet to be real and to have the I Feel Pretty intro like she did at the grammys, that was amazing

[Smithy]

Forever is real too, I think it's young forever

[Callum]

Britney is not on Masquerade, a lot of them song titles sound fake.

[Smithy]

9 of them are real

[Callum]

No way would there be that many tracks starting with Roman and she hasn't done songs with Jay-Z or Britney.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I sincerely hope most of the songs aren't titled "Roman _____"

[Shaun]

i'd guess the on trial, incarceration and escape ones are interludes if they're real

[Saph]

I was wondering this to..

Well, thank God for the people at Out Magazine who finally asked the question I’ve been wanting to ask Nicki Minaj since I first heard her collab with Eminem on Pink Friday: “When Pink Friday came out last fall, a lot of people were upset about Eminem’s use of the word “fa'ggot” on your track ‘Roman’s Revenge.’ What’s your take on it?”

I mean, THANK YOU! I can’t tell you how upset I was that Eminem isn’t done (violently) gay-bashing in his songs (even though he says he’s pro-gay marriage,) but I don’t know how Nicki, who is rumored to be bisexual and has a very large gay fan base, allowed a track to be on her album with that kind of language.

Here’s what Nicki had to say:

“You know, if I’m being honest, I didn’t like [him using it]. I spoke to everyone I knew about it. I spoke to my hairdresser, who’s one of my closest friends. I sat him down and said, “Terrence, what do you think about this? How does this make you feel?” And we had a long, long talk. And he said he didn’t feel like Eminem was talking about a gay person. He felt like it was a word being used to describe a straight man, and he didn’t take offense to it. It’s Eminem — I felt like we were creating a movie. And in the same way, I feel like if you were to watch your favorite actor or actress say “******” or say “******” in a movie, you don’t hate them because it’s like they’re playing a role. “Roman’s Revenge” was more like a theatrical piece. I was a character and [Eminem] was a character. This was Slim Shady and Roman. Of course, when it comes to creativity, there’s such a thin line between creativity and something being offensive. But one thing I knew for sure was that my gay fan base knows about how I feel about them, and I’ve embraced them from the beginning — since my mix-tape days. [Reaching out to gay fans wasn't something I did] once I came into pop culture just to try and get some extra fans. So I felt like the positive would outweigh the negative, and we just kept moving with that”

I don’t think it’s fair to say that Terrance, Nicki’s gay hairdresser, has the final words on all things gay, but I will kinda sorta accept this answer. Both rappers are very theatrical in their verses, and both utilize a whole range of characters. And the entire song is told from the perspective of “Roman,” Nicki’s most angry and vicious character, who just so happens to be gay. Or so she says.
