Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” (2011) is a bubbly pop-rap hit that brought her colorful persona to the masses. With its unforgettable sing-song chorus (“boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass”) and flirty lyrics about a heart-thumping crush, the track showcased Nicki’s rapid-fire flow alongside a candy-coated beat. Initially a bonus track, it gained huge momentum thanks to a viral video of two young girls rapping along, and eventually peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100. “Super Bass” earned Nicki a legion of new fans, especially young girls, and remains one of her most celebrated crossover anthems.
