You know fans of Nicki Minaj's mixtapes are doing a slow clap right now after hearing the Harajuku Barbie's latest, "Roman In Moscow," the first single off of her upcoming album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (due out Feb. 2012). Nicki resurrects her alter ego Roman Zolanski, who we last heard on the Eminem-assisted "Roman's Revenge," as she goes H.A.M. over hard beats with her crazyfast flow.
Nicki summons the maniacal Roman (and about one million curse words) as she reminds us again why she's (he's?) one of the hottest MCs in the game right now: "Im big bully, no bike gear/I told you bitches last year/I'm a rap bitch nightmare/That's why I call you Buzz Lightyear/'Cause by the time you start buzzin'/Bitch, you gon have white hair."
Minaj explained her inspiration for "Roman In Moscow" to MTV News: "Well, [Roman] was there [in Moscow] secretly because [British alter ego] Martha wanted him to go there, so th! ey put h im in this thing with monks and nuns; they were trying to rehabilitate him." Yeah, we don't really have a clue about what goes on in that brain of hers either, but this track reminds us a lot of "Beam Me Up Scotty"-era Nicki, so it'll be on repeat around here for while. Sorry we're not sorry, neighbors.
