Nicki Minaj kembali ke gaya “badung”-nya dalam single terbaru dari album The Pink Print. Anaconda, demikian judulnya. Mengapa Minaj memilih nama salah satu ular dengan ukuran yang cukup...ahem...raksasa sebagai judul singlenya?
Anaconda penuh dengan sexual innuendo yang mungkin vulgar. Tapi, sebelum membahas single ini dari segi lirik, yuk kita bahas dirinya sebagai sebuah lagu. Dengan memadukan antara Hip-hop oldskool, Electro-pop dan sedikit pengaruh K-pop, Anaconda menjadi lagu kesekian Nicki Minaj yang sangat menggelitik untuk disimak. perpindahan beat yang dinamis menjadi kekuatannya selain, tentu saja, rap-nya Nicki.
Single yang diproduseri oleh Polow da Don dan Da Internz ini memiliki semua syarat untuk menjadi lagu pop yang memorable. Hook yang kuat. Melodi yang catchy dan juga aransemen yang meriah tapi gampang dicerna. Tapi kekuatan utama memang terletak di segi tematis yang nakal dan didukung oleh lirik yang mendukung untuk itu.
Dengan memakai lirik seperti "This dude named Michael used to ride motorcycles / Dick bigger than a tower, I ain't talking about Eiffel's / Real country ass nigga, let me play with his rifle" jelas jika Aanconda dalam lagu ini merupakan personifikasi dari, maaf, penis yang besar. Didukung dengan hook seperti "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun."
Lagu rap dengan konteks seks dalam hubungan laki-laki dan perempuan bukan barang baru. Dan Minaj bukan pertama kali mengangkat hal yang serupa. Pembahasan tentang aspek feminis dalam lagu ini jelas bukan hal yang tepat untuk kita bahas di sini. Terlepas dari vulagritasnya, Anaconda adalah sebuah algu yang adiktif. Dan Minaj mengerti benar untuk memanfaatkan seksualitas sebagai materi dalam budaya pop agar digemari pasar.
Jika bersandar pada konteks tersebut, maka bisa dikatakan Minaj dan Anaconda-nya sukses dalam menjalankan misinya.

LYRIC
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun
Boy toy named Troy, used to live in Detroit
Big dope dealer money, he was getting some coins
Was in shoot outs with the law, but he live in a palace
Bought me Alexander McQueen, he was keeping me stylish
Now that's real, real, real...
Gun in my purse, bitch I came dressed to kill
Who wanna go first? I'll have 'em pushin' daffodils
I'm high as hell, I only took a half a pill
I'm on some dumb shit
By the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain't missing no meals
Come through and fuck him in my automobile
Let him eat it with his grills, he keep telling me to chill
He keep telling me it's real, that he love my sex appeal
Say he don't like 'em boney, he wants something he can grab
So I pulled up in the Jag, and I hit him with a jab like
Dun duh dun dun dun dun dun
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Look at her butt (look at her butt)
This dude named Michael used to ride motorcycles
Dick bigger than a tower, I ain't talking about Eiffel's
Real country ass nigga, let me play with his rifle
Pussy put his ass to sleep, now he calling me NyQuil
Now that bang bang bang, I let him hit it cause he slang cocaine
He toss my salad like his name Romaine
And when we done, I make him buy me Balmain
I'm on some dumb shit
By the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain't missing no meals
Come through and fuck him in my automobile
Let him eat it with his grills, he keep telling me to chill
He keep telling me it's real, that he love my sex appeal
Say he don't like 'em boney, he want something he can grab
So I pulled up in the Jag, Mayweather with the jab like
Dun duh dun dun dun dun dun
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Look at her butt (Look at her butt)
Little in the middle but she got much back
Little in the middle but she got much back
Little in the middle but she got much back
Oh my god, look at her butt
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun
Don't don't don't, my anaconda don't
Don't want none unless you got buns, hun
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Yeah, he love this fat ass
Yeah, this one is for my bitches with a fat ass in the fucking club
I said, where my fat ass big bitches in the club?
Fuck those skinny bitches, fuck those skinny bitches in the club
I wanna see all the big fat ass bitches in the motherfucking club
Fuck you if you skinny bitches WHAT?
