To be grossed out by Nicki Minaj's new video?

Re her Anaconda video. Oh my lord!!! To be fair I was more amused than grossed out so that's an unfair statement.

It's basically soft core porn (maybe a tad harsh) and the lyrics are just pure filth!!

Didn't know if anyone else had seen it?

She has a huge ... Perfume deal. I find it all a bit cynical.
Whatever happened to music, just music, no promotional plastic fantastic.

Risenfromtheashes · 22/09/2014 10:26

Have you heard the lyrics?? It's not just the butt shaking its the absolute dross that's coming out of her mouth!

she's butt shaking in a thong. may as well be naked. "singing" about big dicks. I cant think of anything worse that I have seen since the Kanye West one with naked Kim humping and straddling him on a motorbike.

Tell me, would you be happy about your young children seeing this?

Great example!!

She's gross. What's the obsession with having a big arse these days (Iggy Azalea and hers look surgically enhanced to me)?

Username12345 · 22/09/2014 10:33

I clicked the first youtube one.

Risenfromtheashes · 22/09/2014 10:37

Big boobs, small waist, big arse = 'perfect' hourglass figure.

Who are they kidding?

i bloody love it.

IScreamForIceCream · 22/09/2014 10:49

I really want to know the symbolism of the pineapple now.
What does it mean??

Hoppinggreen · 22/09/2014 10:50

Watch the parody, it's much bettef

ToffeePenny · 22/09/2014 10:53

I must be desensitised - to me it seems in line with the original

Username12345 · 22/09/2014 10:54

I'm not saying the song isn't shit.

But to me the video isn't as outrageous as other people are making it out to be.

snappycow she's butt shaking in a thong. may as well be naked. "singing" about big dicks.

Dr. Dre - The Next Episode ft. Snoop Dogg - Features people 'singing' about drugs, 'hoes', 'bitches' all in a video with naked strippers.

N.e.r.d - Lapdance - Has naked lapdancers.

Themes like those are par for the course in music like this.

Like I said it's shit, but hardly shocking.

Notso · 22/09/2014 10:58

I was going to say the same ToffeePenny it's nothing new.

viagrafalls · 22/09/2014 10:59

It's a very serious piece of art actually. Wink

jammytoast · 22/09/2014 11:02

Just watched the Kanye West one.

What the fuck is it? Its not even a song, theres no melody. Hes just ranting while they pretend to hump on a bike.

NickAngel · 22/09/2014 11:03

Is it being ironic?

Risenfromtheashes · 22/09/2014 11:05

If this is 'normal' I worry about what the worlds coming to

Just because something is ubiquitous doesn't mean it's not grim or shocking.

CheerfulYank · 22/09/2014 11:08

JammyToast watch the Seth Rogan/James Franco parody. :o

SistersOfPercy · 22/09/2014 11:11

As a teenager in the 80's I listened to The Misfits with such lyrical genius as:

I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

And we wont even go into the Gun's n Roses Lies album.
It's always been there, I think as adults we just notice it more. I certainly didn't equate the Misfits song with infanticide as a kid, I just sang along without thinking too deeply about it and I think most teens do the same today. They kind of reach a point where they think "Oh shit, THATS what it means"

Personally I find the whole song an assault on my ears, but lyrical content (or lack thereof) doesn't bother me much.

jammytoast · 22/09/2014 11:11

Lol yeah I saw that too. :o

Risenfromtheashes · 22/09/2014 11:15

Haha the Kimye video is something that thir daughter is going to thank them for unreal amounts in 17 years time

So many videos are like that these days, not just hers.

I find it sad. Some people try and claim it's about women expressing their sexuality but I don't buy it. Seems more like it's for mens benefit IMHO.

It's also incredibly boring. You see so many male musicians making really innovative and interesting videos. Then you see the womens' videos and it's all simulating sex as closely as possible without actually having sex. Sometimes if they play them in a row you can't tell where one video starts and another ends. I'm not shocked by them because I've seen it all before.
