Riff: Nicki Minaj – “Want Some More”

Dec 16, 2014

I’m in this bitch, I’m getting money/One minute they hate me then they love me/Ain’t got nothing for me, these dudes is funny/That’s why I’m throwing shade like it’s sunny

from Want Some More lyrics by Nicki Minaj

By dragging out the last syllable she turns an otherwise forgettable song into a memorable one, but for all the wrong reasons. The cadences or quirks of her taciturn delivery do nothing for the complete and utter lack of creative juice. And much like other songs the dollar store beat follows suit.
