I love, love, love this song. I wasn't a Nicki Manaj fan until I heard this song. I can't get enough of it.

Cheaper then iTunes.
The song is really good. One of the best in the album.
I love Nicki Minaj

Why did this song ever become popular? This song is way too overplayed. Too bad I couldn't give it zero stars.

Finally a female rapper that's legitimately awesome. There were a few in the 90s but that was before my time. A great track - listened to it 50+ times and not tired of it yet.

Never heard of Nicki Minaj until I heard this song.
Getting overplayed and become an opening act for britney spears femme fatale tour.
You won't get pass the first 30 seconds of the song. Completely Unlistenable

Nicki Minaj has tended to be more creative in her concepts, her personas (such as Harajuku Barbie) and her videos than in her music. "Super Bass" is a notable exception. Other than her surprisingly good collaboration with Will I Yam of the Black Eyed Peas, this song is catchy and fun. The chorus easily morphs into an earworm. It has something of a Bollywood rhythm, it wouldn't be out of place in Slumdog Millionaire It's a guilty pleasure song... and it works. Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Pink Friday! Looking forward to the weekend. Party and party yeah, we we we so excited.

Nicki Minaj is an odd duck, but the girl has got some catchy beats. Super Bass doesn't disappoint. I frequently sing along with this one and love the energy it gives me. I am not sure I would invest in her entire album, but this song is definitely worth it.

Lil Kim is a way better rapper. If you like pop music then you would love this cd. If you love rap, you would be sad if you listen to her. her voice soon gets annoying and she really cant sing. she makes quick disses at lil kim but yet cant rapper better. she tries to rap fast but not alot is truly said.

Nicki Minaj lays the smack down again -- showing more character, personality, and solid identity within a single verse WITHOUT EVEN TRYING than most rappers show in an entire album. Nicky is something ELSE, man. She's so good at what she does that... hell, it ain't even FAIR, man. It just ain't even FAIR.

Incredibly, this song was actually held back as a bonus track on Pink Friday -- and I don't know what actually happened here: 1. the song was either a throw-away that somehow found traction with Nicki's audience, or 2. more likely, an intentional decision was made to keep an obvious monster single hidden (available only as a bonus) to push the album organically after the first push at radio stalled (which they ALL do, eventually). MOMENT 4 LIFE was, indeed, the correct choice for lead-off single (the first 2 singles were "preceeders," which means that they came out before the album, making MOMENT 4 LIFE the actual lead-off), but the idea of using a bonus track as a "follow" at radio is -- as far as I know, anyways -- untried (especially with so many radio-friendly units still left on Pink Friday remaining to break at radio!). My personal belief is that the label did this on purpose; notice that the video was already done. (!) That's a reveal, folks. That shows the cards. It's an interesting way to push a record, and it's especially risky for a new artist. They probably did it on purpose, too. That's BRILLIANT.

Marketing effort aside now, the track itself has Nicki flexing, goofing, and gear-shifting comfortably in double-time, interspersing the brilliant verses with a much slower chorus -- both of which are massively commercial. I almost feel like the versus are more hooky than the chorii. (!) No question this is a stand-out track; you KNOW this is Nicky from the first moment you hear the voice -- and what's especially good about this record is that you KNOW you're listening to a unique voice, even if you haven't yet heard Nicki's stuff before. A girl I work with actually stopped speaking in mid-sentence when this song came on the radio, and, pointing at the dashboard, she asked me: "Who IS this?"

That's all that needs to be said.

It's massive, alright.

5 stars for the title, and 6 stars for the brilliant idea of using a bonus track as a follow at radio.

Heh.

Whoever thunk-up that idea deserves a big fat bonus.

An exceptional unit, with everything here being done by people who know EXACTLY what they are doing.

Massive.

I recived the oiginal album for my b-day vut i did'nt have any of the bouns tracks. I bougt a few days ago and cant stop listening to it.
