Nicki Minaj’s ‘Roman in Moscow” Makes Me Want to Kick a Baby (Listen & Download)

After Danielle so deservedly tore apart Gucci Mane and V-Nasty I was planning on letting the RefinedHate go and just focusing on some positively dope hip-hop, but then Nicki Minaj's new single "Roman in Moscow" dropped and...this....this shit right here? This shit makes me want to kick a baby.

Slamming Nicki was starting to feel tired, I thought I had some to a strange sort of peace with her (she is occasionally ill) but "Roman in Moscow" is literally everything I hate about 2011 rap in three minutes. First, instead of dropping a new album, Nicki's just re-releasing "Pink Friday" with a few new tracks like this. Why would anyone spend money on an album they already have, only with more crap? I don't know, - why do people do this? - but they do.

But in terms of the actual song? I don't even know where to start. Not only is she still using the Pause Flow, but she's using it terribly. "Bitch I ball...underwear." Motherfucking really? And then we get ten seconds of Nicki singing like a tone dead cat halfway through, and she actually triple dog dares anyone to come at her.

If I could travel back in time and stop Nicki from ever being born Quantum Leap style, I'd do it. Someone call Scott Bakula.
