Nicki Minaj

Before this video gets to the club, we get a most unexpected intro with a glow-in-the-dark x-ray effect and the comedic riffing of Nick Swardson (who we've previously seen in a Clinton Sparks video).

As someone who knows that you especially have to drop it when its hot, Pharrell gets with Nelly, Nicki Minaj and director Colin Tilley in a picture-perfect clip that updates the "Drop It Like It's Hot" vibe with splashes of color and futuristic touches.

Ciara and Nicki Minaj twerk, vamp, grind and basically dominate a series of perfect set-ups — has either artist ever looked better? —  ranging from a futuristic Scream space hallway to a rain room where Ciara can get wet.
