New Music: Madonna f/ Nicki Minaj – ‘Bitch I’m Madonna’

By Nemmy Kim.

Madonna made her surprise return to music on Friday night. At the stroke of midnight, the pop icon announced her 13th album Rebel Heart and dropped six tracks including “Unapologetic Bitch,” the Kanye West and Mike Dean-produced “Illuminati,” and “Bitch I’m Madonna,” on which she reunites with Nicki Minaj.
Over the spastic beat, the Material Girl shows who’s the boss, while Nicki unleashes a ferocious flow: “It’s that go hard or go home zone / Bitch, I’m Madonna, these hoes know.”
The two previously collaborated on Madge’s MDNA single “Give Me All Your Luvin’” and performed together at the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show.
Madonna decided to release the six tracks now in response to the unfinished leaks earlier in the week.
“I was hoping to release my new single ‘Living for Love’ on Valentine’s Day with the rest of the album coming in the spring,” she said. “I would prefer my fans to hear completed versions of some of the songs instead of the incomplete tracks that are circulating. Please consider these six songs as an early Christmas gift.”
You can pre-order Rebel Heart now on iTunes and receive the six tracks. Additional music will be released on February 9, with the full album on March 10 featuring production from Kanye, Diplo, and Billboard.

In between visits to “The View” and “106 & Park,” Nicki Minaj sat down to dish with Tamar Braxton, Adrienne Bailon, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, and Tamera Mowry-Housley on “The Real.” The Pinkprint rapper spoke about collaborating with Beyoncé on “Feeling Myself” and Ariana Grande on “Get On Your Knees.”
“Ari did her thing on ‘Beg for It,’” said Nicki. “It’s very, very sexy, hunny. Her inner freak been coming out lately.”
Tamar shared her love for the Dr. Luke and Cirkut-produced song, saying, “I’m a little ratchet rat right here and I love ['Get on Your Knees'].”
The ladies also praised her “SNL” spoofs of Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian. Nicki was confident about her Queen Bey impression, but wasn’t so sure about Kim. “I didn’t know if I could really nail Kim,” she said.
She also spoke about writing “Anaconda” for the curvy women. “I felt like back in the day, thicker women were celebrated in hip-hop and I kinda felt like there was a shift happening and I didn’t like the shift,” she said. “I felt like somebody needed to say something.”

Sorry Christmas, Fabolous doesn’t f*#k with you. The Brooklyn rapper teamed up with Funny or Die for his anti-holiday song “I Don’t F*#k With Christmas.” In the hilarious two-minute clip, a naughty Loso raps about buying a gift for his wife (and mistress) and beating up the “old fat man in a sleigh.”
“Let me catch Santa creepin’ through my mama’s house / Eatin’ cookies and milk and fartin’ on the coach / I’ma kick his ass and tell him give me all the goods,” he raps.
He also has some harsh words for Santa’s reindeer and elves. “Elves go f*#k yourselves, I don’t like ya’ll neither.”
Despite his diss, he will drop his new album The Young OG Project at digital retailers on Christmas Day.
