Nicki Minaj, “Chun-Li”
Nicki Minaj referenced Chun-Li on a verse before she wrote an entire song and named it after the Street Fighter character, so you know Miss Minaj is a real fan. And “Chun-Li” doesn’t just feature the obvious Street Fighter reference, but includes a nod to X-Men’s Storm, and a lyric that I will never forget: “Ayy, yo, I been North / Laura been Croft.”
I’m not sure why she thinks Chun-Li is a bad guy, since she’s the main protagonist of the series, but quoting Al Pacino’s “bad guy” rant in Scarface is damn good. This is the perfect song to listen to while lifting weights.
