Nicki Minaj “Roman In Moscow” Posted: 02 Dec 2011 04:32 PM PST A year after dropping her long-awaited official debut Pink Friday and having everyone who lives on the Internet go nutso over the single verse TKO she brought to Kanye West’s “Monster”, Nicki Minaj is now bigger than ever, sitting comfortably among the upper echelon of not only the female rap scene, overall hip hop scene, or even music scene, but, really, the entirety of pop culture. That’s right, thanks to her eye-popping wigs and wardrobe (and, ahem, ass), zany persona both on-and-off wax and a little “Deluxe Edition” bonus track add-on titled “Super Bass”, Minaj has reached that A-list peak of stardom where even your grandma has taken a liking to her (with the ability to probably quote a couple lines from a “Bass” verse with ease on top of that brain-stapling “Boom-ba doom boom” hook). At this level of super-duper fame, let’s just say it’s gonna be pretty interesting seeing how Minaj plans to maneuver through her still-infant-stage career with so many eyes of various backgrounds and ages watching her every move over the next twelve months, especially when it comes to a Valentine’s Day-due sophomore project, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which has the intimidating pressure of improving on the so-so critical reaction of its predecessor while somehow still making sure every fragment of her vast fanbase come away satisfied. For lead single “Roman In Moscow”, Minaj avoids pulling off a “Super Bass” sequel (though we’re sure that’s coming soon), to make sure those lovers of her “Roman’s Revenge”/ “Did It On ‘Em” mic antics have something new to manically mimic on future “gone viral” YouTube clips. Yes, alter-ego Roman Zolanzki has re-emerged–apparently she was hiding out in Moscow–and in her time away, she’s re-filled her bag o’ hashtag rap/ wordplay tricks for a whole new arc of Tweet-quotables (“Mike Jack—who's bad?/ Ain't on my period, but I got a new pad/ Channel 5–news flash/ Pussy clean–who smash?”; “Brace yourself–buck tooth/ Yeah I golf–putt too/ Swallow balls–nuts toooooooooooooooooooo…Camel toe”) stamped by her endless stream of multiple cartoon voices, a lack of a hook or third verse and “five-times”/ “double-dog” dare for all hater-made bitches to even dream of stepping to her. To put it simply, and in Nicki speak: It’s badass–Dennis The Menace, and though it might not be the type of Minaj flavor that turned Grandma on, if she wants to retain her status of being Best Old Lady Ever for 2012, she best start memorizing some “Moscow” lines (with some Cat Daddy/ Dougie/ Jerk/ Stanky Leg choreography tossed in) to keep the title on lock. “Roman In Moscow” (iTunes): Download audio file (Nicki-Minaj-Roman-In-Moscow.mp3) This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
