Background and Composition
"Stupid Hoe" was released as the second promotional single to be made available from Minaj's second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, two weeks after the release of the album's first promotional single "Roman in Moscow". The song features production by Tina Dunham and was written by Dunham and Minaj.
"Stupid Hoe" is described as an anthem to Minaj's female haters. The song's production features double-quick drum claps and strange squeaking sound effects, with Minaj performing in a quick rapping style. In the song, Minaj hints at her performance at the 2012 Super Bowl in the lines "Put ya cape on, you a super hoe/2012, I’m at the Super Bowl." Minaj also references Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. Compared to previous mixtape release "I Get Crazy" by Erika Ramirez of Billboard, Minaj takes jabs at longtime rival Lil' Kim, stating "Bitch talkin' she the queen when she looking like lab rat," only to later sing in the song's outro "Stupid hoes is my enemy/ Stupid hoes is so wack/ Stupid hoe should have be-friended me/ Then she could have probably came back." Minaj growls ferociously as she states "These bitches is my sons and I don't want custody!" The song features Minaj singing the words "stupid hoe" in falsetto vocals. Vocally, Minaj performs her verses in different pitches, slowing down and speeding up her bars and stretching out some syllables, similar to the remix of Big Sean's single "Dance (A$$)". The song ends with Minaj stating "I am the female Weezy," a line borrowed from her past feature "Y.U. Mad" with Lil Wayne and Birdman.

Famous quotes containing the words background and, background and/or composition:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
