Usher channels Michael Jackson in this performance/party clip — featuring Nicki Minaj and Pharrell Williams — that comes to an end when his world gets turned upside-down by a woman.
If it works for The Avengers, why can't work for the Universal stable of pop stars. Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj come together to electrify a hot city and show off some great teamwork/synergy.
Is it the apex of female empowerment for Nicki Minaj to take a term Sir Mix-A-Lot used to refer to his manhood and coil it into a reference to her own powerful assets? Or, are we just looking at an excuse to watch booty shake like rattlesnake tails?
Welcome to the insane territory of no-holds-barred postmodern music video, where you don't need to just stop at putting em on the glass; Now you can shatter that glass with ferocious ass-rattling power. In a set-up similar to Katy Perry "Roar" — think of "Anaconda" as the Hard R version — MInaj unleashes the booty and likely renders you speechless (or in the case of lap dance recipient, Drake, painfully immobile).
Can Nicki Minaj co-opt Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Anaconda" and make it a powerfully threatening nickname for her derriere? The answer, of course, is yes — especially saying no to Ms. Minaj is not something I'd recommend.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know tricks aren't just for Miley Cyrus? Nicki Minaj has been pushing out transgressive videos since jump, but "Pills N Potions" carves out territory that seems custom-made for Tumblr (or sad MDMA trip). There's out-there animation, some revenge at her lover — gamely played by The Game (no pun intended) — and tears that fall like metallic sheets of rain, all in a 4x3 set-up to accentuate the occasional lo-fi, but always hi-impact visuals.
We'll have to a wait a little longer for the full blast, but Nicki Minaj has unveiled the first taste of what she's been cooking up with director Diane Martel and vfx artist Geoffrey Lillemon. The same absurdist touch from the "We Can't Stop" video is evident here — Hello, bunny rabbit drug dispenser — plus an unadorned styling look that serves as a pallette for metallic tears, purple clouds surrounding The Game, and what's sure to be lot's more...
Jabbawockeez, prison yard gangstas and an old-fashioned family are just some of the eye-candy competing with Tyga, Lil Wayne and Nikki Minaj in this new Young Money collabo clip.
Nicki Minaj x Nabil is a good combo, in my opinion. Especially when Nicki goes hard, dropping N bombs like machine gun fire and lays waste to all those fools talking "Starships" shit while they stare at her ass.
