The #1 member of Mariah Carey‘s Lambily is back with a brand new video!
Earlier today, Mizz Nicki Minaj premiered the video for “The Boys,” her fiery, robo-tastic duet with Cassie from her upcoming sophomore album-re-release Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up: RiRi’s Revenge: Reba McEntire: The Ratchetness.
When she’s not too busy getting uppity about Mariah Carey being a flaw-free diva on American Idol (because she’s FUCKING MARIAH CAREY), Vengaboys tribute act Nicki Minaj also enjoys shameless attempts to swipe Rihanna‘s shine on Twitter.
Just minutes after Illuminati Princess RiRi revealed the album art for her upcoming 7th studio album Unapologetic, the pressed popstress debuted the “album art” for her completely unwarranted sophomore record re-release Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up (which will likely be followed by Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up: The Remix in early 2013.)
Above is the ratchet-tastic rectangle that Minaj just premiered on Twitter, which is both terrible and bad. It’s also not a square. The cover features roughly seventeen different fonts, a tattered wig stolen from the closet of Diana Ross and–as if all of this wasn’t enough–a goddamn diamond necklace. (From Claire’s, I believe.)
Shine bright like a flash in the pan.
Calling all Barbs!

After serving up endlessly ferocious features on tracks like “Bottoms Up” by Trey Songz, Usher‘s “Lil Freak,” Jay Sean‘s “2012 (It Ain’t The End)” and her grand triumph, a spotlight stealing verse on Kanye West‘s star-studded “Monster,” Nicki Minaj‘s 2010 debut Pink Friday should have been a roaring proclamation that the new face of female rap had finally arrived.
Instead, the album turned out to be a plodding series of motivational cliches and lukewarm midtempos about overcoming obstacles, following your dreams and rising above. And that’s fair–after all, she managed to defy expectations, skyrocket to the top of the charts, reinvent the boundaries of female rap (and rap in general) and ultimately became the most important thing to happen to female rap since Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott in the span of about two years.
Still, the album equivalent of one Taylor Swift surprise face after another about being on top wasn’t nearly as captivating as the fire she was spitting on everyone else’s songs. By the end, the album barely showcased why her star rose so quickly in the first place.
Two more years have passed, and Minaj is back for another solo round–Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded–and this time, she’s actually packing some heat.
Mizz Nicki Minaj has just unveiled the explicit clip for “Beez In The Trap,” a song about, um, being in the trap, from her not at all insane o’clock sophomore record, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
The Benny Boom-directed clip for Nicki’s latest…single (Is it even a single? Who knows–everything’s a single with this era!) sees the multi-talented singer/rapper/dick-in-your-facer dancing dirty, serving body and stacking bills up in the club with sexy ladies in a very throwback ’90′s rap video sort of way.
The fashions, however, are thoroughly 22nd century Minaj: a chlorine green wig, bright blue eyeshadow–you know, the works. Plus, there’s a rather severe gyration in a leopard onesie. I’d call her brave, but the bitch clearly stole my Saturday night look.
Oh, and there’s also an appearance by newcomer 2 Chainz, whose verse includes some rather fantastic rhymes about potential career opportunities and spending dollars on fancy items, including my all-time favorite reference ever: “True Religion trousers.” I am very impressed!
So like, “Beez In The Trap” bumps hard and the video makes me want to pound the alarm and all, but where’s the clip for “HOV Lane”? Or “Whip It”? Or…the current single, “Starships”? I know it’s hard to get a starship out on loan, but still…
On a related note, I got to watch Nicki perform and then awkwardly stand next to her at the R Lounge (the ass is fantastic close up I assure you) at yesterday’s Nokia’s Lumia 900 event in Times Square. It was, as we say in the industry, “a hoot.”
