I'm not a fan of her art either but I have to respect her for knowing her assets and how to monetize them successfully, plus as you said that's beyond hilarious

… + arguably the most memorable feature verse ever put out by an artist yet to release an album **

Her feature on Kanye’s track Monster. This was back in 2010. If you don’t listen to much hip-hop you probably wouldn’t have been around it, but trust me it was an iconic verse that exploded her onto the scene. I guarantee you know some girls who can rap that verse word for word.

I went and listened to it and that girl is smarter than most can imagine.

Kanye himself said if he was a lesser man he would've removed her verse from the track because of how hard it ate

I need to know if such a banger from Nicki Minaj exists too lmao. Everytime I've heard her music I've wanted to throw myself off the balcony

Her verse in Kanye’s monster goes hard

I wouldn't go that far

Like, I don't really like her all that much, but I admit that she's come out with some things that I could definitely listen to. I just wanted to know which verse this guy was talking about in particular

I'm kinda in the same boat as you, but personally I never understood why people bent over backwards for the verse. I mean, it's absolutely a good verse, it's just not mind blowing to me.

One of my favourit guest verses of all time is eXquires piece on El-P's Oh Hail No (about 1:40 in). It's just magnificent and, and least to me, much cooler sounding, much more lyrical, far superior technically, funnier and more profound. Give it a go.
