Okay, it's not like the song is redeeming enough for me to give the lyric video a pass. But WTAF were they thinking when they chose a Nazi influenced lyric video?!?!? I just don't get it, and it's despicable... i thought it as her dictating the rap game. Okay I get that, but why not an emperor or something like that? Why copy the Nazi style? Anyways, it's not that big of a deal, it's just unsettling to me.

I took it as this: If they didn't thank Hitler for slaying the Jews, why would they even thank someone else for doing something much less significant?

Petty people who think that difference in opinion makes someone a "stan" for the opposition...

I'd say that hardly makes me a petty person, but considering the person in your avi (which I did know btw, I've charted songs by all 3 of the artists before) and your hatred of Ms. Minaj just led me to believe that... sue me.

Great. Finally something we can share. I do appreciate Kim, and I love Missy and Mary, so I guess that could be another thing, if you're a fan of them... But anyways, I definitely think we agree the lyric video is awful, right?

That song is sooo good. But I really would have thought that she would be smarter than to do something so blatantly offensive and tactless. Sure it might get people talking and I'm sure she'll say that she was just comparing her power to a dictator over the rap game but the media has dragged her for things far less suspect and literally everyone is looking for a reason to criticize her. Not to mention that the whole thing is really low and kinda gross.
And can we calm down with the stan war bullshit...like are we really finna get mad over calling out the ridiculousness of comparing Nicki's plight to that of our Lord and Savior? No need to drag the Good Sis's Kimberly Denise Jones, Melissa Misdemeanor Elliott and Mary Jane Blige into this fuckery.

Not a bad lyric video. It's creative and more interesting than plain jane ass lyric videos.
Yeezus.

Disgusting.
Imagine if some idiot pop star portrayed themselves as a slavemaster or something. They'd be done.

I think the only reason this hasn't blown up as a media story (and I have a feeling that it just hasn't blow up yet) is because this is an Urban only single that most mainstream blogs probably haven't heard of or care about.

She seems like she is trying really, really hard this era and not always in a way that is good.

The director is retweeting all the criticism of the video. Seems to send the message he's well aware of the anti-Semitic imagery. twitter.com/josborne32

I don't understand her thing with Iggy. Now, I don't like Iggy and I love Nicki but did she really think she was going to be the only female rapper on the scene, especially after she opened so many doors for female rappers today? If anything, I think having her team turn off Iggy music while it is playing is showing she's afraid of her and her success.

But now Nicki has become the Kim of the situation... she's afraid that Iggy will outshine her and steal her spotlight, which is why she gets as many digs in as she can... it's sad too, especially given the drought of female rappers. You'd think they would want to work on the same team and help other females break into the industry.

She keeps mentioning how pathetic Kim is for taking jabs at Nicki continuously but now it seems like she's going down that same road. I hope it stops...

Nicki could never because she's been bringing down female rappers since day one, starting with the one that opened the door FOR HER, Lil Kim.
