It appears the album was originally going to be a chaotic hip-hop album about Roman, but that concept changed around November/December 2011, when reaction to Nicki's buzz singles Roman In Moscow and Stupid Hoe was overwhelmingly negative, and she saw major success with David Guetta on Turn Me On.
It was decided to revamp the tracklist, and PF:RR's release date was pushed back from February to April, and Nicki began recording various demos brought into Cash Money through a trial A&R agreement with RedOne (which has since grown into RedOne becoming an Executive at Cash Money).
That said, most of the original PF:RR tracklist is likely there on on PF:RR and PF:RR:TRU in some shape or form.
As for what songs are her rapping/singing as Roman, probably not many. The whole Roman thing is just a marketing gimmick that failed. Most of the tracks - and definitely the pop and R&B tracks - are just her performing as herself.
