Song of the week: Usher and Nicki Minaj

Usher performs at the 2014 BET Awards in Los Angeles on June 29.

A sinuous, incredibly funky bass line and staccato, falsetto backing vocals make Usher's She Came to Give It to You, a smoldering, Pharrell-produced song, one of the year's great dance tracks.

And that's even before Nicki Minaj delivers a rap centerpiece that contains the already-classic couplet "Tell your man play the back like a spine/He only lasts six seconds like a Vine."
