Nicki Minaj

As she rises up higher in the public perception on this side of the pond it seems Ms Minaj is dividing the UK like Marmite. Ransom Note staked its colours to the mast some time back, and Im not afraid to reiterate, Nicki Minaj is the bomb, and this single is pure fire..! I cant find out who produced this track, but its either Tinie Tempahs hit maker Labyrinth or someone who has literally no shame in biting Pass Outs 8 bit synth arpeggios and half tempo drum n bass influence. Whatever the case, and despite a slightly naff chorus, the crazy space age funk on show perfectly compliments bad Barbies fem-bot flow to create a piece of freaky sci fi pop that bangs the buttons hard.
