After laying relatively low in terms of studio output in 2013, Nicki Minaj jumped in on PTAF’s viral anthem Boss Ass Bitch to spit a freestyle just before New Year’s Eve. Not to say the Eurodance-inflected pop bangers from Roman Reloaded aren’t great, but Boss Ass Bitch is a welcome reminder that Nicki is jaw-dropping when it comes to going in hard on a hard beat. Pretty sure no-one else could get away with spitting a dorky line like “But I never iPhone / Android these n***as” into “It’s a holiday / play wit my pussy day”. Fingers crossed 2014 will bring a new Nicki Minaj full-length.
