Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" kind of already started out as a remix: the Sir Mix-A-Lot sample of "Baby Got Back" and overall stuttered, chaotic structure of the song make it easy to assume there's an actual OG somewhere just out of earshot. But Jersey Club producer DJ Big O really takes the song for a spin on his remix, further twisting the sample and Nicki's own contributions to the original song. In fact, Nicki's pretty much stripped from the song altogether, but the rump shaking groove people have loved for over two decades isn't lost in this fanciful recreation of a party rap staple.
