Riff: Nicki Minaj – “All Things Go”

Dec 16, 2014

Cherish these nights, cherish these people/Life is a movie, but there’ll never be a sequel/And I’m good with that, as long as I’m peaceful/As long as 7 years from now, I’m taking my daughter to preschool/Cherish these days, man, do they go quick

from All Things Go lyrics by Nicki Minaj

More Onika Maraj than Nicki Minaj, and revealing in a way that has nothing to do with ass and tits. It’s a decided way to open an album, and a shift in the maxim for someone who tries so desperately to hang on to status and fame. Stripped of the skin, it’s a matter of now seeing what lies beneath.
