I think it was a remix of something off her first album.  I just watched the video again though and it took me back to that moment, laying on my Grandma’s bed (because we couldn’t watch TV in the living room…we had to “go back in the room” to watch videos), and seeing that epicness of female rapdom.  Lil Kim, Da Brat, Angie Martinez (LOL, who?), Missy Elliott, and Left Eye.  That was pretty amazing.

Anyway…

CAN WE DO THAT AGAIN THOUGH PLEASE?!

This is how I want it to go:

• Nicki Minaj.
  
  She can open the song with something Lascivious and Cartoonish.
• Lady.
  
  She is so ridiculous and nasty.  She can put her drawl on it and slow the pace down some.
• Beyonce.
  
  I know she’s not a rapper, but when she’s in the zone, she rides the beat better than most emcees.  ”Bug-a-Boo” was basically just rapping with melodic inflections.  I miss those days when she was just that liteskint girl in that group where everybody sang fast.  She can put some of that in the middle of this.
• Reema Major.
  
  Don’t let the cute face fool you: Miss Major can flow better than chicks twice her age.  She’s young and pretty straightforward…a perfect set up for..
• Azealia Banks.
  
  Clearly, no one would want to spit after Azealia.  She’s either gonna foul up the mic with her filthy mouth or burn the house down with the fire she comes up with.  Plus, she’s the party girl and I need to go out with some dancing.

Who’s with me?  Is anybody listening?  Somebody needs to get on this.
