"Yasss Bish" is a song recorded by Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj for her third studio album ''The Pinkprint'' (2014), which did not make the final cut. It was written by Minaj along with the song's producer Soulja Boy, who is also credited as a guest vocalist. The track was released through her official SoundCloud account as the album's third promotional single on May 3, 2014 following "Lookin Ass" and "Chi-Raq". Musically, "Yasss Bish" is a bounce and drill song with a trap beat. Its stripped back hip hop production encompasses intense Roland TR-808 drum hits, a "sinister, echo-y" vocal loop, "eerie" shimmering synthesizers, foreboding snares, and the sound of church bells ringing in an ominous tone. Lyrically, Minaj addresses her detractors, and references several celebrities including Donald Sterling and Will and Jada Smith. Minaj performed the song live for the first time along with Soulja Boy on May 18, 2014 at the Power 106's Powerhouse, Minaj performed the song again on June 2 at Hot 97 Summer Jam 2014.〔http://thesource.com/2014/05/18/watch-nicki-minaj-soulja-perform-yass-bish-for-the-first-time-together/〕〔http://www.stunnalife.com/2014/06/video-nicki-minaj-soulja-boy-performing-yasss-bish-at-hot-97-summer-jam-2014/〕 ==Background== In September 2013, Minaj began working on her third studio album, ''The Pinkprint'' (2014). For the album, Minaj desired to return to her hip-hop roots, calling the album's sound "a continuation of ''The Re-Up'' with a lot more". Minaj told MTV News that the sound of ''The Pinkprint'' would be "next level" and will have "so much to talk about", saying: "I'm really excited and the people that have been working with me now, have been people that I haven't worked with before so it's like they're bringing a new sound to the album that I've never experimented with." In April 2014, Minaj posted a picture on Instagram of herself with Soulja Boy in a studio. Later that month, he posted a Vine of him singing the song's chorus. Originally, Soulja Boy created the song's beat but according to him, it lacked a hook. However, he later came up with the idea for the hook while making a Vine, and added it into the song. He then brought the unfinished version of "Yasss Bish" to Minaj, who was impressed by the song and recorded her vocals. After Minaj sent the track back to him, it took "about a day" for Soulja Boy to finish mixing the record. In May 2014, Minaj spoke of the meaning behind the word "yasss": "When I watch RuPaul's Drag Race'',' I live for the way they speak. Females, we adopted it and it makes us feel like very cocky and very just like sexy and feminine. So saying 'yass' as opposed to 'yes,' it's just putting on a billion times more attitude to the word 'yes'." On May 3, 2014, Minaj posted the song on her official SoundCloud shortly after midnight.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yasss Bish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
