I don't think I could make it through one of those, that's just too deeply emotional to go through... It's unspeakable what the victims went through...
I just can't stick up for this, no ifs ands or buts about it... it's just awful. Controversy my ass. It's just... petty and sad that people have to go this low just to drum up some interest...

How horrifying.
Nicki is a smart girl. I am assuming she saw the lyric video before it was posted. I mean... come on.
Also the holocaust museum was one of the most horrifying, heartbreaking things I have ever had to go through. Once I got to the children's floor I was in tears.
Really makes my blood boil that people can use something like that for the sake of a rap music lyric video.

I can't do Hollocost museums. I get squemish just reading about it.
I imagine the video will be taken down soon, but I can't express how shocked I am that it made it as long as it did or that it was even approved in the first place.

That's the part I don't understand. Unless they just paid this lunatic director to do the video and then some intern just skimmed through it to make sure it looked ok visually and then they sent it to Vevo or whatever. But wouldn't someone, an executive, an assistant, an agent, Nicki herself, watch the video and be like "Um..." That's the part that makes me a little sad because I feel like she probably did see it and just didn't think anything was wrong until she was called out.

What really makes me upset would be the director DEFENDING this shit. "Educational" is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard, this video was clearly not giving any information about it, it wasn't depicting it in a negative way, it was basically glorifying and glamorizing this whole tragedy.

It's shocking how often stuff gets out that shouldn't have even though like 20+ people have an opportunity to listen to it/watch it/check it.

I have never been a fan of Nicki Minaj the person we see on TV, she to me has always carried herself dare I say it "scummy" lack of respect for anything. While I'm shocked and disgusted by the video (just like i was with Justin) when people have that narcissistic character and sense of entitlement not surprised that she would approve that video.
How you can justify promo or creating buzz of the blood and lives of innocent children, women and men is beyond excusable. Also comparing Miley twerking to the holocaust is like comparing working overtime to slavery. just no.
but that is besides the point, even if you truly feel a certain kinda way about appropriation is this really the time and place to make those links and connections?

This is no different than that "Lookin' Ass ***I'M RACIST***" cover that used Malcom X's image, or that time she said "I like independent bitches like July 4th, now that's what young Harriet died for." Maybe they didn't have a history class at the performing arts school she graduated from?

That "Bed Of Lies" first verse is deep. I wonder if SB really hit her way back when that first report popped up. "Pills N Potions" might be about him too. I only assumed it was about her hairstylist who left her.

GMAYL was top 10 for like one week on the Hot 100 so it was a momentary hit due to the Superbowl performance. Anything Madonna and Nicki do for the new album should remain an album track no matter how crazy it is.

Not to drag on this again but...why is the lyric video still up?! The controversy was such that I finally watched the video to see what it was all about, so I imagine that is why the video is still up. Controversy --> views --> money. It's a very short term look at things though, as the longer she leaves it up the more negative many people's impression of her becomes. If she truly meant her apology I would think the video should be gone by now, but it's not. And she had to have known the concept for the video because the single cover artwork (which was released two-three weeks ago) came directly from it. The other likely reason the video hasn't been taken down is because the controversy on its own is not enough. This goes for any celeb - it would take a boycott, loss of an endorsement deal, or some other immediate threat to her status to get her to take it down. Otherwise, the public reaction may simply not be negative enough for her or YM to feel like they need to react. Already this is kind of feels like yesterday's news, but honestly I don't know if that is a reflection of how short our collective attention spans are or on how short our attention spans for Nicki are that we can't even be bothered to properly shame her. I have nothing else to say that hasn't already been said here so I'll lwave it at that.

^I want to compare this to Rick Ross and his Molly/Potential Date Rape line that went major. That costed him his Reebok Deal. You really can't take nothing from Nicki with this one, cause she didn't type a asshole fck all of yall including the media/fans/whoever response.
A boycott would be appropiate towards VeVo to remove it cause Mr.Osborne(sp?) is standing by his art, and he's not moving one bit.

A boycott would be appropiate towards VeVo to remove it cause Mr.Osborne(sp?) is standing by his art, and he's not moving one bit. Wot. I was basically reiterating Cynthia 's post about Publicly bashing Nicki for this situation. The thing that I was comparing it too was when Rick Ross used that date rape line in "U.O.N.E.O.", and that went national to the point of women going on strike, and boycotting to get the song(or his verse removed) off of radio due to that lyric. He ended up losing his deal with Reebok , that was worth a couple mil. Overall, what I'm saying is that Nicki won't lose a big deal or something from this, but people should be coming after VEVO to take down the offensive lyric video.

I just checked YouTube and that Holocaust glorification bullshit is really still up? Wtf?
I've supported Nicki from the start but I'm officially done with her. Goodbye. Certain topics are unforgivable.
