I Can Spell It Now

I can spell Nicki Minaj’s name correctly now, which means she’s broken through. Not just for me but everywhere. She dropped two new tracks, ’Chun-Li’ and ’Barbie Tingz,’ and there’s a video for the first.

She barely tried. Vertical Snapchat-style, her in leather on a couch with her breasts out, rapping in hotel hallways. That’s it. Elaborate videos are dead since Musical.ly—you just film something on your phone and you’re done.

It’s pure bragging. Money, sex, women copying her. ’I got the hammer and the wrench, take the quarter million.’ ’Won’t push his babies out till he buy me the bling.’ Just what you expect from a track like this, filmed on a couch.
