Super Bass | Nicki Minaj

What is the meaning and main idea of Nicki Minaj's Super Bass song? Are there implicit messages in Nicki Minaj's Super Bass? Which one is more dominant, denotative or figurative meaning? The following paragraphs try to answer all the above questions.

This Nicki Minaj's Super Bass song is a kind of description. Description of what? Description of boys who the girl character of the song adores. The lyric lines in verse 1 and verse 2 clearly describe what kind of boys she is looking for. So, what kind of boys she likes and is looking for? They are 'boys with booming system' who 'got stacks on deck like he savin' up' or 'Entrepreneur niggas and the moguls'

Considering the whole lyric lines, I think there is no implicit messages the song tries to convey except that when you are successful, when you have power and money, there are many people who want to be your friend and many girls who want to be your girlfriend. So, if you want all these, work hard to pursue your success first.

Meanwhile, related to the meaning of the lyric lines, I think it's denotative one which is more dominant in the song.

As an illustration, here is the lyric of the song:

Super Bass - Nicki Minaj

[Verse 1 ]
This one is for the boys with the booming system
Top down, AC with the cooler system
When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up
Got stacks on deck like he savin' up
And he ill, he real, he might gotta deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach
He a muthafuckin trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin', ho
I said, excuse me you're a hell of a guy
I mean my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly
I mean, you're so shy and I'm loving your tie
You're like slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye, oh
Yes I did, yes I did
Somebody please tell em who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up, back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

[Ester Dean & Nicki Minaj: Hook]
Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Got that super bass boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that's that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass he got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass, he got that super bass

[Verse 2]
This one is for the boys in the polos
Entrepreneur niggas and the moguls
He could ball with the crew, he could solo
But I think I like him better when he dolo
And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
He ain't even gotta try to put the mack on
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then the panties comin' off, off, uh
Excuse me, you're a hell of a guy you know I really got a thing for American guys
I mean, sigh, sickenin' eyes
I can tell that you're in touch with your feminine side
Yes I did, yes I did, somebody please tell him who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up, back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

[Ester Dean & Nicki Minaj: Hook]

[Hook]
See I need you in my life for me to stay
No, no, no, no, no I know you'll stay
No, no, no, no, no don't go away
Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Don't you hear that heartbeat comin' your way
Oh it be like, boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass

[Ester Dean & Nicki Minaj: Hook]
