To feel sick and disappointed everytime I hear Nicki Minaj

Lyrics from her current single:

"Yes I'll do the cooking, yes I'll do the cleaning
Plus I keep the na-na, real sweet, for your eating
Yes you be the boss, and yes I be respecting
Whatever that you tell me, cause it's game you be spitting"

why is this shite on the radio.. why is the word woman being summed down to these attributes?! thinking of young girls singing this crap makes me sick (and I'm not some sort of radical feminist who is looking for things to point sexism at I just think this takes the mick surely.)

*to clarify the catchy chorus bit is "be my woman and I'll be your man" hence my comment on defining a woman and their "roles".

She sang Stand by your man all those years ago Grin

Think Dolly did it too.

letscookbreakfast · 12/05/2015 18:01

I can't stand her, her face reminds me of Donkey from Shrek.

MrBloomFantasies · 12/05/2015 18:02

ah i see Smile havn't seen those lyrics but it's the cooking and the cleaning bit which really makes me want to smash the radio!

Those lyrics are awful. Na-na? Spittin? You wot?

Anniegetyourgun · 12/05/2015 18:03

Tammy Wynette had plenty of practice standing by men, as she married 5 times. I find that quite amusing.

fortunately · 12/05/2015 18:03

You've never heard of Tammy Wynette? Shock

Way more shocked by this tbh! Smile

MrBloomFantasies · 12/05/2015 18:03

Is she being sarcastic?

I thought Minaj was for Independent Women and all that

CaptainAnkles · 12/05/2015 18:06

What's a nana? Shock

MrBloomFantasies · 12/05/2015 18:08

I'm not certain but my first thought when i heard it was banana bread.. wistful thinking maybe haha i'd love a song about banana bread

Being on the game makes me think of a prostitute. So she's being all homely for a pimp?

editthis · 12/05/2015 18:09

Banana? Not too much culinary effort required for Minaj on behalf of her man, if that's all she's got in the kitchen.

Ahh Tammy; singing about D.I.V.O.R.C.E and not telling Little Joe Sad

Snowflake15 · 12/05/2015 18:12

Na-na = punani?Confused

Honkytonkgal · 12/05/2015 18:13

Couldn't agree more. If you really want to throw up in your own mouth you'll look up the lyrics to her song Only with Chris brown and drake. Sounds like it was written by a hormonal 15 year old schoolboy, so cringe and embarrassing.

Sallystyle · 12/05/2015 18:14

I was trying to work out why she wants to keep her man's grandmother sweet and why he wants to eat her.

It then twigged that it is probably her banjo?

Sallystyle · 12/05/2015 18:14

fanjo !

IfNotNowThenWhen · 12/05/2015 18:19

No excuse for not knowing who tammy wynette is! I know who, say, Billie Holiday was, and she died years before I was born.

stand by your man

WorraLiberty · 12/05/2015 18:26

StillStayingClassySanDiego You mean little J.O.E surely? Grin
