A short while back, pop-rap it-girl NickiMinaj unveiled Super Bass, a single that first appeared as a bonus track on thedeluxe edition of her platinum-selling debut Pink Friday. It now seems to be reaching critical mass. Just since last Friday, I've heard the song roughly 25times I've heard it pumping out of cars and playing on MTV Jams, not to mention the repeat spins on my home stereo, often at the request of my girlfriend andher visiting sister. Even the pizza shop guy in my neighborhood had it looping through YouTube on his flat screen. When I asked if he was a fan, heimpartially explained that it was because she's famous and that 'Super Bass' is very, very good.

不久前，流行說唱女歌手Nicki Minaj推出了單曲“Super Bass”，這首單曲首次出現(xiàn)在她白金唱片《Pink Friday》的豪華版中。如今，該單曲在榜單名列前茅，臨近冠軍寶座。從上周五至今，這首歌我已經(jīng)聽了不下20遍，汽車電臺(tái)、MTV Jams、更不用說我家里的音響也在單曲循環(huán)（通常是應(yīng)我女朋友和她姐姐的要求）。就連我家附近的披薩店老板都在他的iPad上點(diǎn)開YouTube貢獻(xiàn)MV播放量。而當(dāng)我問他是不是她的粉絲時(shí)，他不偏不倚地解釋說，“只是因?yàn)樗艹雒劈c(diǎn)開播放的，再說“Super Bass”的確非常非常棒。”

To say the least. Super Bass has theeffervescence that signifies the start of summer but also has the goods tocarry you the whole way through-- you can't help but fantasize about how muchfun you'll be having to this thing over the coming months. But for somethingthis balmy and love-crazy, not much external stimuli is necessary. And it worksjust as well in front of the mirror as it does in the club, thanks to producerKane Beatz's quasi-futuristic take on Miami booty-bass music (sort of aguarantee, given the title) paired with that delectable, cotton candy-glazedhook.

至少可以這樣說?！癝uper Bass”具有標(biāo)志性的專屬夏日的活力，但也有讓你一路享受到最后一刻的能力——你甚至?xí)唤孟?，在未來幾個(gè)月里你會(huì)在這里享受到多少樂趣。但是對(duì)于這種溫馨而又瘋狂的東西，其實(shí)無需過多的外部刺激。它在屏幕里的效果和在俱樂部里的效果一樣好，這都要?dú)w功于制作人Kane Beatz對(duì)邁阿密Booty-Bass音樂的準(zhǔn)未來主義處理，更不要說那令人垂涎的、棉花糖般的甜美Hook。

But most importantly, it marks the perfectmix of what we've hoped Nicki Minaj would become. After her double-take of aguest spot on Monster made her a household name, some were disappointed in PinkFriday's soft-edged approach-- too many Right Thru Mes, not enough Did It on'Ems. Super Bass isn't shy about its pop side, but from a rap standpoint,Nicki's in pristine form too, flexing and goofing in a confident double-time(You're so shy and I'm lovin' your tie You're like slicker than the guy withthe thing on his eye!). For a woman who's had a couple of years' worth ofwonderful little moments, this might be her first perfect big one.

但最重要的是，它正是我們希望看到Nicki Minaj所帶來的完美的代名詞。她在“Monster”中的客串使她成為家喻戶曉的人物后，一些人對(duì)“Pink Friday”的柔和風(fēng)格感到失望——過于右傾，并不足以切中肯綮?！癝uper Bass”并不羞于展現(xiàn)它的流行一面，但從說唱的角度來看，Nicki也處于最原初的狀態(tài)，以一種飽含自信的二倍語速調(diào)情撒嬌（“You're so shy and I'm lovin' your tie You're like slicker than theguy with the thing on his eye!”）。對(duì)于一個(gè)數(shù)年內(nèi)僅僅引發(fā)過小hit的女人來說，這可能是她首個(gè)完美的大HIT。
