We adore Nicki Minaj. She has fun with pronouncing words, she simultaneously makes fun of her pop collaborators while dueting with them (Mariah, Thicke), and she has a pretty fierce flow. However, at the end of her adorable “Itty Bitty Piggy,” a catchy tune pulled from her 2009 mixtape, she claims to have “single handedly annihilated every rap bitch in the building.” Keys, a “rap bitch” from Baltimore has shot back (thanks to the good people of Bossip for throwing this up). Naturally, we thought a side by side comparison was in order. Watch the videos below then check out the play by play.
Round 1: word play
Nicki references both Whitley from A Different World, and the Islamic policy of not eating pork
Keys calls Nicki Miley Cyrus
winner: Nicki – if what you say can be connected to Bill Cosby in 3 degrees or less, you win.
Round 2: delivery
Nicki has a cute/crazy robot voice she drops at random; it’s original if nothing else
Keys calls it out, saying “who the fuck talks like that?”
winner: Keys – who does talk like that?
Round 3: role models
Nicki calls herself the “Harajuku Barbie” and plays up her, um, potentially enhanced, um, assets
Keys says she’s a “grown ass woman” who doesn’t play with toys but knives and glocks
winner: Nicki – we don’t need actual violence here
Round 4: presentation
Nicki takes the time to have pink pieces of hair put on the back of her head
Keys stands around in a group of dudes
winner: Nicki – we like when a performer takes a moment to get ready in the morning
Overall winner: Keys – we don’t want her coming after us with the glock she said she’s loading in the parking lot. Sorry, Nicki.
