These After Dark tunes focus on the universal three-letter word:  SEX. The dark records gracing After Dark are old and new alike, with all genres of music welcome.  In the 61^st edition of After Dark (2022), we explore the naughty, risqué, & sexual vibes behind, 🎵 “Only” by 🎙 Nicki Minaj, featuring  🎙 Drake, 🎙 Lil Wayne, and 🎙 Chris Brown.

Theme & Lyrics ✍

“Yo / I never fucked Wayne, I never fucked Drake / On my life, man, fuck’s sake.” Well now… It’s safe to say that 🎙 Nicki Minaj commences her 2014 single, 🎵 “Only”, with a bang.  She continues on the risqué, unapologetic banger from 💿 The Pinkprint, “If I did, I’d menage with ‘em / And let ‘em eat my ass like a cupcake.” Holy shiitake mushrooms, Nicki! Minaj cusses like a sailor and keeps it 💯.  I mean, you don’t get much more honest than, say, “I don’t fuck with them chickens unless they last name is Cutlet / Let it soak in like seasoning.” Also, worth noting, she mentions guys chasing her because of “Big titties, big butt too.”

While Nicki is the main, brash attraction on “Only,” she gets help from 🎙 Drake, 🎙 Lil Wayne, and 🎙 Chris Brown.  Brown handles the chorus only, touting “Nothing but bad bitches in here tonight.” Furthermore, per Breezy, “Nothing but real niggas only, bad bitches only / Rich niggas only, independent bitches only…” You get the picture! Drake takes the second verse, again, confirming he’s never had sex with Nicki, but has objectified her (“She was sitting down on that big butt, but I was still staring at the titties though”).  Thirsty much? He doesn’t stop there, mentioning his type are “BBW / Yeah, the type that wanna suck you dry and then eat lunch with you / Yeah, so thick everybody else in the room is so uncomfortable.” It shouldn’t be a shock that Lil Wayne is true to self, including his assertion, “I piss greatness, like goldish yellow,” and the fact that he’s “Got two hoes wit me, masked up, they got smaller guns.” Sigh, we all know so many of this hip-hop guys are all about doubling up!

Final Thoughts 💭

So, the key with a song like 🎵 “Only” is to take it with a grain of salt.  Nicki Minaj is at her best when she’s sexed TF up, and “Only” is a prime example.  Her colleagues all fall in line, contributing to this outlandish, raunchy banger.  Nicki says it best: “And tell them bitches blow me / Lance Stephenson.”
