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.)

Listen to Nicki Minaj's rap on "Monster" by Kanye West. She's utterly fantastic on that track.
Haven't heard the song you refer to in the OP but, judging by her back catalogue, she's clearly being tongue-in-cheek.

I bet she has a scary na na!

CoffeeAndBiscuitsPlease · 12/05/2015 21:08

If you'd like her to be more specific and graphic about her lady parts then just listen to her album, there's plenty in there ;)

Grin Unintentionally hilarious. Maybe she has her Nana regularly steamed like all good women should. Gotta keep that nana sweet.

I just googled the lyrics to 'Only'. I have got a potty mouth at the best of times but wow...just wow!

It reminded me of that friend showed me a couple of months ago Grin.

I saw the Future /husband video earlier this week and I would say she has already started the weight loss mission. Could be wrong, but she definitely appears slimmer.

I didn't think Future husband to mean she is going to curtail to her husband but that she expected to have equality and to be 'her' not a stereo type. Really not keen on her music though! She is definitely implying 'head' not kisses.

LadyDeadpool · 13/05/2015 15:18

I'm completely wrong about the kisses thing aren't I? Blush Sorry, that's really embarrassing I'm 29 so not young and naive either thought the 12 year old was better listening to her than Gaga.

Yes...yes you are Grin!

A little like one of my very sweet and innocent colleague who took Hozier's 'Take me to Church' a little too literally. I decided against filling her in - I think she may have spontaneously combusted.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 13/05/2015 17:37

I always think of her as Nicky Minge

Also affectinately known as Nicky Minge in our house too bunchofbastards.

Anaconda video is truly terrible, homage or not. I was literally gobsmacked watching it and I'm no prude.

Also great to see the 6/7 year old girls at our local softplay centre dancing in the same fashion in the disco room - wtf? Not sure what's worse?, the fact they are doing it or that they've clearly been allowed to watch the video. Such fantastic role models out there for girls these days Hmm

Snowflake15 · 13/05/2015 18:40

mrbloom take me to church is all about a girlfriend - she tells me worship in the bedroom... Offer me that deathless death etc etc

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 13/05/2015 18:49

Take Me to Church is about how the church approaches homosexuality. Not about a girlfriend.

Re the meaning of na-na I wouldn't be surprised if she was suggesting he gets jiggy with her Gran.

WyrdByrd · 13/05/2015 20:50

My mum & MIL both got quite competitive over who was going to be called Nana when I had DD.

I have a whole new perspective on that now Confused !

I have a lovely clean nana. It's in the fruitbowl in the kitchen.

Wagglebee · 14/05/2015 20:07

I sometimes draw a smiley face on my nana. It cheers DH up at lunchtime.

adrianna22 · 16/05/2015 00:17

'Na Na' means vagina.

She's basically saying she will keep her vagina sweet for the man to... Yeah you get the rest.

NCTimeAgain · 16/05/2015 00:32

Could be worse OP. You could find yourself wanting to 'wake up like Nicki Minaj'. Safe to Google it Grin

butterfly133 · 21/05/2015 17:53

I cannot bear Nicki Minaj so didn't about this lyric. Oddly enough, I just came across the "Anaconda" video while reading that Taylor Swift's new video has broken the record for views in 24 hours (love that video by the way) and Anaconda was the previous record holder?

I managed about 17 seconds before stopping. Ugh. I realise she is not trying to represent all women - well I guess she isn't - but I just look at stuff like that and think "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duckdeamon · 21/05/2015 17:55

So she'll cook and clean as long as he's very good at cunnilingus?

StrawberrytallCake · 21/05/2015 18:15

my DM refers to herself as Nana to the children, might have to have a word about her filthy language.
