Riff: Alicia Keys feat. Nicki Minaj – “Girl on Fire”

Nov 20, 2012

And to my core fans, keep reppin’ me/X in the box, cuz ain’t nobody checkin’ me

from Girl on Fire (Inferno Version) lyrics by Alicia Keys feat. Nicki Minaj

It’s a sad state of affairs when the version of this song featuring the original “Stupid Hoe” is charting better than the original. Her “Inferno Version” appearance does not fit at all, and serves as a gimmick to add an appeal to fans of lyrics like “you a stupid hoe” repeated 16 times for a chorus.

      The Minaj-free original is definitely solid.
