Nicki Minaj stopped by Genius for our Live Lyrical Queen Interview to break down some of her most classic bars. While sitting down with Rob Markman, she explained lines from songs such as “Can Anybody Hear Me,” “Monster,” “Chun-Li,” and “Barbie Dreams.”

In the process, Nicki explained why she always writes her own rhymes, remembered why Def Jam wouldn’t sign her because “she wasn’t Lauryn Hill,” and revealed that she uses Google to help write her lyrics.
