Now, since starting my new job, there are Young Folk in the workplace, who idolize such icons of musical legend.
So, I dug out Pink Friday: Roman Remains, and prepared for a most delightful aural treat.
First up, is the appalling vocals on Track #1: Roman Holiday, with the genius lyrics of "♪ I dare a motherfucker be talking about me / Them bitches must be smoking a couple of OC / Ha Ba Ba Ba Ga Gum the goatee ♫"
Then comes the insightful Track #2: Come On A Cone with the literary lyrics "♪ Ooohh-ooh, dick in your face / Ooohh-ooh, dick in your face / Ooohh-ooh, dick in your face / Put my dick in your face / Put my dick in your face / Yeah Yeah ♫"
What delights await on Track #3: I Am Your Leader? Why, it's the elegant "♪ Motherfuckers on my dick / suck it / I am your leader / Yes I am your leader / You not a believer / Suck a big dick ♫"
And on it goes:
"♪ Bitches ain't shit / And they ain't sayin' nuthin' / A hundred muthafuckas can't tell me nuthin' / I beez in the trap / B-B-Beez in the trap ♫" - Beez In The Trap
"♪ Like I get that pussy wetter than a dirty sewer / Fuck you mean / Turn around and bust it open for me / Get on that dick and get that money ♫" - Sex In The Lounge
Culminating in the poetical final track Stupid Hoe: "♪ You a stupid hoe / you a / you a stupid hoe / You a stupid hoe / you a / you a stupid hoe / You a stupid hoe / you a / you a stupid hoe / You a stupid hoe / (yeah) you a / you a stupid hoe / You a stupid hoe / you a / you a stupid hoe (stupid, stupid) / You a stupid hoe / you a / you a stupid hoe (you stupid, stupid) / You a stupid hoe / you a / you a stupid hoe (you stupid, stupid) / You a stupid hoe / (yeah) you a / you a stupid hoe (you stupid, stupid) ♫"
Which is why I was surprised when I found out that the below was NOT the official video to her cover version of The Sisters Of Mercy's Anaconda - I thought the lyrical prowess of this tribute was testament to her skillz as a songwriter fo' sho'.
