Rap-Up.com || New Music: Karmin – ‘Started From the Bottom (Remix)’

Wiz Khalifa, Mike Posner, and Machine Gun Kelly aren’t the only ones flexing their rap skills on the remix to Drake’s “Started From the Bottom.” Karmin’s Amy Heidemann steps to the mic to give the fellas a run for their money.

The fierce femcee busts some boastful bars about landing the cover of Rolling Stone, performing on “SNL” before releasing an album, and getting “pimp slapped by Paul McCartney.”

“I didn’t rap last year, learned it as a fluke/ Check it, all the other labels tried it too/ Signed a couple copycats copying my hairdo,” rhymes Amy. “Stop all the comparing me, no Nicki Minajery/ Let me out the cage so I can fizz ’cause all of feminity is looking for a rapper queen/ Banking on Azealia and Iggy/ Pretty damn amazing what you do to be a star.”

The duo is readying its full-length album for release this year on Epic Records. Check Amy’s flashy flow below.

@Gaite, AGREED!

I love Iggy but shiet T.I. could have done wonders for Karmin. Keeping my fingers crossed that their LP will be amazing regardless.

@Righteous, Um, that’s not what that line means.

Everyone wants their favorite to be the one “rapper queen”, and most people are banking that on Iggy or Azealia.

Since with the females, there can only be one on the top and fans know that. So they want their favorite there, and shit on others.

Like yourself.

I hope they fail.

You quoted the lyrics incorrectly. Amy says “learned it as I flew” not “fluke.” She loves rap; she would never insult it like that. Also, in regards to people thinking she dissed Nicki, Azealia, and Iggy, she didn’t. She simply stated that she is compared to Nicki, and implies that puts her into a box and would be better off seen for who she is. Then, she says that femininity is banking on Azealia and Iggy as rapper queens. She does not say that she is a rapper queen, she does not say that they don’t deserve to be seen that way. Listen what she actually says.
