Eric Bellinger Says Nicki Minaj's 'Anaconda' Is 'The Realest Turn Up Possible'

Now that "Anaconda" has been delayed, fans can only imagine what the Pink Print cut sounds like but R&B crooner Eric Bellinger has offered up some details on Nicki Minaj's second single.

MTV News recently caught up with Bellinger and popped the million dollar question: what can fans expect?

"Turn up. That's it; just turn up. The realest turn up possible," Bellinger, who co-produced the song with Polow da Don and Da Internz, said.

The cover art was most certainly something to talk about and it sounds like the track will follow suit.

"She went crazy," he simply said.

Bellinger also revealed to MTV that the whole project came together just last month. He was brought into the studio to help complete the song, which already had its foundation.

"Most people don't look to me as a producer; they look to me as a songwriter," Bellinger said. "I think Da Internz, they trusted my veteran ear. Polow da Don had the idea; [then] brought it to Da Internz; Da Internz called me in, and then we kinda just [were] vibing it out with suggestions and opinions and placements and arranging it. I kinda played a Quincy Jones in the situation, almost. Every step of the way, me and Kosine [of Da Internz] were piggybacking off ideas."

Bellinger is most credited for writing for Chris Brown, Usher and Trey Songz, to name a few.

The 27-year-old is predicting "Anaconda" will be added to Minaj's hit list.

"For this one, it was like it was already a hit single and it was already #1 when we were in the studio. It was a crazy feeling."
