New Song: Nicki Minaj – ‘Anaconda’ (Official Version)

Published: Sunday 3rd Aug 2014 by Sam

After prescribing the masses a dose of ‘Pills N Potions’, Nicki Minaj unleashes ‘Anaconda’ as the second official single to be released from her third studio album ‘The Pink Print’.

Released to iTunes moments ago, folk can now listen to the official edit of the track (which samples Sir Mix A Lot’s 1992 smash ‘Baby Got Back’) below…

Via JJ:

On the conundrum!

For some, it’ll easily serve as the return of the tongue in cheek Nicki they’ve come to love. Yet, for others, it may be difficult to take the song as anything but an “LOL”  – not exactly what Onika needs following the s0-so chart run of predecessor ‘Pills’.

Still, with ‘Anaconda’ slithering its way up the iTunes tally at a rapid rate, Ms. Minaj’s risk may be set to pay off.

That said…

  2. Proud-Arianator August 4, 2014

    I got love for Nicki really enjoy her music
    But this is pure garbage and nothing but ear pollution
    Y’all be blessed now

  3. Bryant August 4, 2014

    Eh. Its just okay. She’s capable of better. Maybe its a grower? 🙁

    • NICKIMINAJ QUEEN August 4, 2014

      its a grower because tbh at first i was like what the f*** is this s*** but listen to it over and over again and fell in love with it

      • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

        Honey if u gotta force it down ur throat..

  4. CT August 4, 2014

    At first I thought this would be a massive attack part 2 (disaster) but its a grower tbh. The music vid will slay 50mil views in a week 200mil views in a couple weeks. With that being said I still dont think this is a good single choice but I could be wrong…

    • OMG Logic!!! August 4, 2014

      LMAO the delusion…

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

      The song is a joke kii

  5. lslay a bit. August 4, 2014

    love it sis

  6. Rihboy August 4, 2014

    Trash. Ball it up and put it in the bin please. She will just have to ride the floppess remix bandwagon until her next single release.

  7. nobitchassness August 4, 2014

    Nicki is a GENIUS for sampling Baby Got Back!

    I didn’t like Anaconda at first but after the second spin, I loved it.

  8. Lindsay Lohan August 4, 2014

    Kind of radio friendly. I was expecting a ‘Did It On Em’ type, but we get is a ‘Stupid H**’ meets ‘Selfie’ combo. “Yasss Bish” is so much better than this and that was a buzz single.

    Maybe Nicki should focus on just doing features cos that’s clearly where she annihilates the competition.

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

      Go do a bump u junky

  9. clover August 4, 2014

    People be acting like music on the charts is talking about something. Half these number 1 hits suck to be honest. Just look at the charts. Nicki trying to follow the same formula.But this song is kind of explicit for pop though. I gotta hear the clean version. The flow on this one is mad silly though. I like Nickis serious NY flow. Chiraq and LAN flow please.

    • billboard hit August 4, 2014

      EXACTLY. She just needs a clear channel deal like Iggy & DRAKE get all the time.

      She just needs to do some pre-album tour dates and some big TV show performances like Iggy & Rita get, …
      pop radio interviews like Seacrest, ….

      some international TV appearances and she will be able to SELL the heck out of this single.

      This is for her pop fans. It will do fine f Universal works it on radio and she does some international TV and US V appearances.

  10. The Great Lacefronce. August 4, 2014

    Definitely a flop coming for Onig

    This ghetto mess is a MISS

  11. CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

    Hmm. Idk, I expect more from a pop star of her caliber. This is just like when katy released roar as the first single, such a let down.

    • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

      She’s not a pop star, she’s a rap star.

      • CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

        She’s trying to top the bb100, not the rap chart babe.

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

      Roar is a multimilli seller tramp so how was ot a let down? Ho

      • CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

        Clearly was referring to the quality

      • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

        No it wasnt clear honey. Roar has a success lipsyncing Cheryl can only pray for

  12. tmi August 4, 2014

    b**** thought she had a how many licks lol

  13. KC August 4, 2014

    The way she is talking about guys is very reminiscent of Lil kims how many licks. I’m not here for this trash. No radio station is going to play this. It’s overally sexual. She should have went with a different image seeing how the song is so sexual.

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

      She still copyn kim hun

  14. Poison Cusp August 4, 2014

    She just might have a hit on her hands & a debut on the top 10 on the BB 100 it’s climbing fast on the iTunes main chart now at #25

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

      Eatcho bame u delusional ho

  15. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” NOW) August 4, 2014

    I really think Nicki and her team ‘Young Money’ mindsets is that the goal is to dethrone Iggy and come out with a Pop rap #1 hit. Well…… this isn’t going to work.

    • pretty gang August 4, 2014

      no one is even talking about iggy anymore, move along

      • Nickg August 4, 2014

        Yet she’s all over iTunes lol right

  16. Indie August 4, 2014

    One of the worst songs i have heard from anyone in a very longtime, complete disrespect and miss use of a classic song, desperate, cheap and tacky and this is me being kind. However this is the 3rd track she has released this week and the other 2 tracks Bang Bang and Flawless she does a fantastic Job on, it’s just a shame that coming back to her own music she is willing to dumb herself down for record sales.

    Here is the the thing, clearly Nicki’s intention recently was to be taken more seriously, that was obvious with Pills N Potions, just because it didn’t do as well doesn’t mean that you take 20 steps back and be worse than you were before, she hardly did any appearances for Pills N Potions for 1 which is paramount when you are re-branding your image, it was a great song, and 2 you could of easily done a summer Jam, aka Summertime from Will Smith, Cold Rock A Party from MC Lyte, modern day equivilents to tracks like that, not this drug popping w**** completely selling yourself out just to chart, so wack and shows no growth at all and she’s on her 3rd/4th album! She’s very lucky she featured on Bang Band and Flawless as they show the world she still has skills and both tracks will trump this garbage and save her career. B**** be true to yourself, take a f****** risk and make great music and stop acting like some desperate h** with no talent who will do ANYTHING for record sales!

    • NICKIMINAJ QUEEN August 4, 2014

      you over talking desperate for attention your whole comment looks desperate to me good bye

      • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) August 4, 2014

        Nicki career looks desperate. 😀

  17. barbies`s world August 4, 2014

    already slaying it`s way up itunes

    • musicMatters101 August 4, 2014

      Until it falls completely as as fast as “Pills” did. *sip*

  18. OMG Logic!!! August 4, 2014

    Epitome of trash. Also, when did “climbing up the iTunes charts” become a big deal? I’ll wait for when this Ear nuke hits any relevant charts.

  19. Poison Cusp August 4, 2014

    The general people have spoken who actually buy music & they are def feeling it. It’s a grower, it’s great while working out that’s why you see workout promo pics for the song & it’s def going to chart higher than Pills N Potions. So let’s congrats Nicki on realizing how to capitalize off of buzz & the records she’s slaying on right now #StopTheNegativeHate if you don’t like simply move on with your life

  20. Skyfall August 4, 2014

    Some of y’all are just talking out if y’all ass. This song is a grower, after a few spins you’ll find yourself dancing. He’ll the gays will love this lol. The video will defiantly help its chart position. Plus with the hype from bang bang and flawess remix I see big first week sales.

    • Rihboy August 4, 2014

      Its not a growing anything. Its a stupid ruined remix of a perfectly fine song.

  21. musicMatters101 August 4, 2014

    Not the Nicki I wanted. Maybe the third single/time will be the charm *shrug*

  22. tmi August 4, 2014

    it will rise & fall on the iTunes chart just like pills and potions did … this song will not get played on the radio !

  23. pretty gang August 4, 2014

    ratchet anthem of the year, slay!!

  24. TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

    LMAO. You really think this is music? This is terrible. I rather look at clown Nicki, because at least she released one song I like. WTF is this? I can say though that she’s smart for sampling that One Hit wonder guy, because she’s exactly the same thing. B**** literally has one song, and it wasn’t for her blood sacrifice cousin dying and 9 years old clinging to YouTube, the b**** wouldn’t even have that. She is officially over. She might as well join Lady Gaga in the “We peaked too fast” club. That’s what happens when you copies everything out there, there’s nothing left to get people going.

    • Skyfall August 4, 2014

      Lady Gaga has sold over 140 million records. Her tour is also selling out unlike Katy Perry and she’s selling out stadiums with her so called flop album. She did peak quickly but that’s not why people are over her there just tired of the OVER THE TOP gimmicks. If she was to do another The Fame Monster type album and release a song to Telephone she would slay again.

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        Skyfall (favorite Adele song), stop the essays boo. I like Gaga. She just peaked too quickly. She MIGHT be able to bounce back with multiplatinum plaques (w/o the streaming no shade), but as for the Lil’ Kim tribute, nah honey bun. That won’t happen.

      • Skyfall August 4, 2014

        I love Skyfall too. As far as Gaga I feel she can bounce back. As far as Anaconda it’s kinda hard to say if it’ll do good or bad. I definitely see it doing better than Pills n potions. The GP seem to like the chorus and look at her b*** part, and catchy choruses is all that people seem to care about anyway.

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        The chorus will save it for 300k WW. It won’t sell the way they want it to, and that’s including the obvious Clear Channel deal Universal is about to use to launch this s***.

      • Skyfall August 4, 2014

        I see good first week sales to the the hype from bang bang and that flawless remix, but with the right promo I feel like it can at least go Gold, and if she performs this song at the vmas that’ll help it out as well.

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        When is the VMA coming on? Also, who is on the lineup or is that a post on here?

      • Skyfall August 4, 2014

        The Vmas are coming on August 24th. And I know Their performing Bang Bang and I think I saw somewhere that Iggy and rita are doing Black Widow, as well as Taylor swift and usher.

  25. Skyfall August 4, 2014

    I’ve come to to realize that Rosie is definitely the biggest hypocrite & contradictory on this site. Wasn’t she the one saying #1s don’t matter when defending Lana when she was getting dragged with Lorde, but try’s to shade and belittle Nickis success by clinging to Iggys #1 single Fancy. But what happened sales over chart positions, have or have not Nicki sold over 5 million Albums, have or have not over 20 million singles. Has The New Classic outsold Yours Truly or is it an international uncertified Flop. Has Fancy outsold Superbasd or Starships even though it was #1 for seven weeks.

    • 7 August 4, 2014

      Right. #1’s don’t matter. N that’s y u n the stupid navy should Stfu

      • Skyfall August 4, 2014

        Lol you must be new, I’m not Navy. Rihanna is just one of my favs, I Stan Adele & Mariah. Plus Rihanna has sold over 150 million records and 30+ million albums.

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        7… You sound pressed. Go sit before you get dragged. I wouldn’t say much if I were you.

      • 7 August 4, 2014

        Speak when spoken to. @YonceTroll

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        @7 Like you can STOP ME? Please b**** excuse yourself. Because last time I checked, I’m a grown ass woman, I can do what tf I want, and Skyfall was NOT in your reply box. You can go sew up your hole now.

    • Rosie August 4, 2014

      I don’t know why I am being brought up as a bandwagoner because I genuinely like Iggy? The only reason I even mention her album sales are because it’s called a “flop!!! draG!1” in every other post for not being gold yet when literally NO hip hop album this year has been certified yet let alone sell over 350K. Sales are horrible this year in general. But it’s been selling at the same rate as Yours Truly without the pre-built Nickelodeon/preteen fanbase so…

  26. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) August 4, 2014

    Hahahahahahahaha!! #Endoftheroad #Ultimatefloppage

  27. Rih Rox August 4, 2014

    Running out of 15 minutes.

  28. Metzo August 4, 2014

    I listened to it for the first time and I found myself cracking the f**** up. Enough said. It’s not that bad tho, and Nicki is still talented. But she can def do better. This was not single-worthy. More like a hype song.

  29. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” NOW) August 4, 2014

    Notice how she got rid of the last part that said something about “All my big a** b******” something? Back pedaling much.

    • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

      Just like Tinashe vocals…

    • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

      I just want to make sure you know, I didn’t write that. So don’t come in my reply box.

  30. cocobutta August 4, 2014

    Commercially this is secretly genius as it will cross over and be played all over the world.
    It’s fun, it valley girl, it’s old skool hip-hop, it’s witty, it’s catchy but on the other hand it’s alot on production.

    I like that she’s got that s*** but fun element on this.
    It’s one of those tracks that some people get it straight away for what it is and for others it’ll grow on them like an annoying spot/zit u don’t want.

    • Skyfall August 4, 2014

      This^^

    • Metzo August 4, 2014

      Makes sense. Agreed

    • Skyfall August 4, 2014

      How do you feel about the song?

      • CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

        I don’t know, it’s cute but I feel like she could’ve done better. There has been so much competition between her and iggy that I feel like she could have at least come with something as appealing as fancy. I want that monster nicki hit.

      • Skyfall August 4, 2014

        Agreed and does that site do album sales as well

      • CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

        I believe it’s only singles. But it has every country. I guess hdd is the closest album estimate. I wish I had this when west coast came out no shade lmao

    • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

      What are Cheryl current iTunes USA positions?

      • CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

        Are you bored? Check the uk version babe

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        Just did. #4. That’s my favorite number. How ironic.

      • CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

        What are you doing? Your trolling isn’t funny or shady at all.

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        LOL Who was being shady and I’m not Kevin Hart, so you’re right, I’m not funny.

      • TheYoncèTroll August 4, 2014

        Also, Cheryl is very pretty

      • CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

        Just don’t see the point of your comment or you bringing up cheryl

  31. Belladonna1363 August 4, 2014

    I don’t know how I feel about this song? On one hand it could blow up & be the next – LMFAO – PARTY ROCK or PSY GUNDAM STYLE. Lol but on the other hand it sounds old and out dated + Nicki is still an a*s hole to people but if this song does become a Pop Smah I will give her, her props. She’s can be such a negative person

  32. Navy nick August 4, 2014

    After 3 rd listen, I really like it; i can see it as a fun song in the club, especially remixed with original

  33. MATT August 4, 2014

    Cheryl’s stan on here is really annoying. Your fave can only work 1 market but you have the nerves to compare to an artist like Nicki that has done 10x more than that. Come back when we get the receipts that Cheryl Scarecrow broke in the US charts. But for now, shut the f*ck up h**!

    • LB (35Keryl Tweedy) August 4, 2014

      She cannot even work that market, Rita Ora is slaughtering her there LMAO

  34. CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

    Just wondering where and when I have ever compared cheryl? Do I even bring her up on this site? Lmfao. I swear these girls are literally obsessed w me and my fav. Now I know how Rosie feels.

    • melvin August 4, 2014

      its not about you bringing someone up, its about you constantly on here being annoying tearing other artists down etc when you have no lee-way to do so when your fav is a local flop who just mustered 118k first week sales for her #1 single you pressed b****

  35. MATT August 4, 2014

    Sheryl Scarecrow and Ariana Granddick belong in a cage with Shakira, so that she can teach them to not be so stiff. #StiffBodyGyals

  36. CherylSoldierr August 4, 2014

    Ugh. So this is the same troll who was posting under a different name in the last post? It’s probly just blue or something. Notice how they all use the same names and drags for cheryl.

  37. Mizuki August 4, 2014

    After listening to this song, I can honestly say I wasn’t amused. Yes this song is atrocious, but knowing the GP, they will eat this up for a while. I can already see the parodies. Nicki girl…pink print is not looking too good for you if you’re serving us this mess. Stick to the features, it’s what you do best.

  38. jane August 4, 2014

    So, this year flop list..

    1.Mariah Cary ‘elusive fat nightclub singer’
    2.Jlo ‘AKA FLOP’
    3.Robin thick ‘paula’

    and Nicki ??? lol

    • Mizuki August 4, 2014

      The biggest flop on that list is jho not just commercial wise, but sound wise. Many TV interviews, American idol, world cup performance, and was named an icon this year…recieves pathetic sales. Mariah dominated for years so it’s only natural she’s on a decline.

  39. Eloviano August 4, 2014

    I don’t like it ,I expected a real summer jam and this doesn’t do it for me. Back to the growing board Onika and come up with something better. Now playing Mariah Carey – You Don’t Know What To Do.

  40. Mimi carey August 4, 2014

    FLOPPPPP

  41. Rosie August 4, 2014

    Song is trash.

    Why am I being brought up in this post for no reason?

    • Kii August 4, 2014

      You’re iconic that’s why

  42. Bey-Minaj August 4, 2014

    Nicki is taking us back to the old school and this song will blow up especially in the clubs.

    Ima screenshot yall hating ass comments and throw it back in your faces when this song touches the top 10. #SeethHaters

    • Rihboy August 4, 2014

      How about when it reaches number 1. Even if it gets close, it will fall so hard. I cAn see live mediocre performances, and forced radio interviews. She just jumped on three songs within the last three weeks. Then releases her own song and it comes up short?

  43. K August 4, 2014

    i always fined it strange to see fans of other people who isn’t were there fav and nicki is in two totally different lan.talk that made sh!t some name i am not even in the mood to call even that boring as hell one were all here songs could be played at a funeral.here fans coming on here talking amde sh!t it,s so strange, anyways i like the song and can’t wait to see the full video nicki doing her thing.

  44. LB (35Keryl Tweedy) August 4, 2014

    OMG make it stop, it is horrible. What were you thinking Nicki?

  45. CATFISH CAREY August 4, 2014

    THIS IS GONNA FLOP SOOOOO HARD
    WILL FLOP HARDER THAN PILLS N POTIONS
    THIS BIITCH IS GONNA RELY ON STREAMING POINTS FROM THE VIDEO JUST SO IT CAN MOVE UP A COUPLE OF NOTCHES ON THE BB CHARTS

  46. SBC19 August 4, 2014

    Meh. Nicki makes me long for the days of Foxy Brown. “Baby Got Back” is garbage, but it’s still a classic and she only made an already ridiculous song even worse. I wish Nicki and the rest of her ilk would leave 90s hip hop alone.

  47. Tamartian August 4, 2014

    So want to see an Iggy reaction video to this LOL!!! I hope it goes something like this “humph this broad had the nerve to clown me”

  48. JER August 4, 2014

    It’s sad when the only thing good about a song is the sample from the ORIGINAL track.

  49. bibi93 August 4, 2014

    Funny Nicki

  50. Brian310 August 4, 2014

    Just no smh.
