    What especially pisses me off about Nicki Minaj is that she comes from a shitty house hold to the point where she could be considered nothing and rose to the very top of the music industry and that's amazing, but now she's become nothing more than a hypersexualized gimmick. It just sucks God I hate how the music industry can just twist people around, man. It's bullshit

    TBH, I love when Critic talks feminism. He brings up so many great points :D also, in regards to 6:35, what's empowering to one person might not be empowering to another. For example, while some women may feel empowered by wearing makeup and revealing clothing, others might feel more empowered by just being in sweats with their hair tied up. And while some may feel most fulfilled in the workforce, others may feel that way as a stay at home Mom. None of these choices are wrong/better than others; imho as long as people are doing what they TRULY want to do with their lives and aren't doing it because they're being told to, then that's okay in my book. It's about having the freedom to choose. But that's just how I interpret feminism

    One of your best and most insightful reviews. I personally loathe this song so I could not imagine that, at the time of its release, people were championing this song as a feminist piece, let alone a positive piece for women to enjoy. Mind you, being a man and all, i'm not one to say what is/not empowering but I never expected anyone to claim this song fell under that definition.

    • @Thomasmemoryscentral
      @Thomasmemoryscentral 9 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      2014 apparently had tons of embarrassing moments for feminism. Between those thinking this song was good and freaking out over a dumb party song called Literally i Can't, its more proof why more don't take this seriously anymore.

    • @crazyluigi6664

      +Thomasmemoryscentral I think the deal was more of the impressionable youth thinking that having your teeth being completely covered with jewelry is considered cool. I should know because I was one of those people that thought that kind of way with the grills in one's mouth was cool back when I was middle school and a bit of my freshman year of high school.

    • @silvertamagachi
      @silvertamagachi 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      +Caz I'm actually impressed with her . . . not exactly as a feminist icon, but as a shit-stirrer (which in a lot of ways is in the service of feminism, however unintentionally). Nicki portrays whatever character she fucking wants to, without giving a shit whether she's a positive role model or a "good girl" or whatever. Feminists (particularly white feminists) loved this, and gave her a lot of pats on the head for being a good little Beyonce-lite and not needing no man . . . until she comes out with stuff like this and "Hey Mama," which pissed all the white feminists off, because you can't be and empowered woman and enjoy male attention, or at least not in the way Nicki's doing it. In a lot of ways she very much became the epitome of "angry black woman" as well as "video hoe," both obviously derogatory terms white feminists often use to denigrate women of color. I don't know how intentional any of this is, obviously -- I haven't really seen any interviews with her discussing her relationship with white feminism -- but I love the fact that she's able to piss off everyone in every direction. She's a skilled player of the media with (in my opinion) extremely catchy songs, and the fact that she is impossible to fit into a box makes me love her more.

    You know, the clean version of the song makes some really peculiar and kinda funny edits ("I only took a half a pill" becomes "I got them first in Track & Field"), but the one really good thing it does is that it obliterates the whole outro and jumps right to the minor key change to end the song. It really was the weakest portion of the song.

    I’m overweight and there was something empowering about Baby Got Back where he specifically finds women with my body type attractive. Since usually when overweight people are brought up it’s always “Oh you have inner beauty.” It’s the same reason I love Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen. All About That Bass does it the most empowering way though.

    Feminists can Be Sex Positive or "Pro-Hoe"As alot of of us playfully call it these days.Our thoughts is that if you want to be sexual you can and if not you dont have to but it should always be your choice.I dont think most of us Mind men taking enjoyment from public forms of entertainment,The problem is when they Believe it is their right to decide to how far we go or how we must be at all times with our sexuality in relation to being sexual.Example:
    If I were to twerk And a male enjoyed looking that is fine(Unless said otherwise).It would be a problem if i didn't give him permission to take the step to touch me,Or if he believed it was his choice or I should listen to him on how far i do or dont go in relation to my body not on him.

    • @cannibalisticrequiem
      @cannibalisticrequiem 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      I wholeheartedly agree, expect for never wanting to hear Baby Got Back ever again. My nostalgia goggles are on tight enough to the point that I can still enjoy the song; but I can understand why someone would hate it because of Anaconda. The main issue I have with Todd being so forgiving with this song, is his hypocrisy when he compares it to Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass. He gets on Trainor's case because AATB is 'juvenile', even though Anaconda is equally so. He rips on AATB for having a skinny-shaming verse in her song: "I'm bringing booty back, go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that", but then he lets Nicki's " fuck them skinny bitches" chant at the end of the song slide. He calls Meghan out about how the song champions the idea that men like curvy women and that she needs a man's approval of how she looks, but looks the other way when Nicki raps about "he love my big fat ass", and that that makes her attractive. But Nicki gets a free pass because, she's Nicki and somehow, only she can be that controversial. I find that complete and utter bullshit. If you're going to call out one artist for what you consider an offensive song, then you have to call out all other artists that make similar songs with that message you don't like. You don't get to pick and choose because you expect something of one artist, so, it's okay because it's that person. That's a shitty excuse.

Booty (remix)-JLO ft Iggy Azalea. This was how the chorus went:"Big Big Booty, what you got a big booty"2. Wiggle-Jason Derulo ft Snoop Dogg. Here is the chorus:"Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle""Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle""Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle"Also let's look at one of Derulo's and Snoop's lines:Jason: "Patty Patty cake with no hands. Got me in this club making wedding plans"Snoop: "Then I take it out and wipe it off. Eat it, ate it, love it, hate it."

    • @cannibalisticrequiem
      @cannibalisticrequiem 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      ***** Exactly! Why hate on Meghan Trainor so much when there are other celebrities male and female, producing songs about big butts? I just don't get it. At least Rap Critic brings up better critiques against Anaconda that don't revolve around, "it's just another song about big, fat bootys".

    • @cannibalisticrequiem
      @cannibalisticrequiem 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      ***** The thing about that is, Todd didn't really complain about Trainor's voice. He just hated the song on the principle of, "she's skinny-shaming, so that's not cool" and "she's promoting the idea that you need to look a certain way because men prefer a certain body type over all others". Both decent points, but the problem I personally have with that, is that it's hypocritical. As I mentioned before, Anaconda puts forth the same messages that All About That Bass does, and yet Minaj gets a pass in Todd's mind, because "it's Nicki" and it's expected of her. I call bullshit on that notion, because it's not cool to criticize one artist and not another, when they're putting forth the same message.

    Nicki is a good person only outside the music industry. I makes me so sad that when she's so nice in public, but she has such horrible songs out in the public. This has to be the very bottom of the barrel for her. I have witnessed people trying to say that this song is a lot greater than it actually is, but it's not. Songs like this make the female race look worse, not better. This song is about women being playthings though we're not. Look, I may not be an active feminist, but I do believe that women deserve to have power that doesn't involve looking like a naked cow in front of the cameras.

    why is it that women can't objectify women? if this song was made by a man it would have been hated and objectifying, but here nicki comes and says the same shit that would have been objectifying and now it's empowering to other women? if this song is suppoed to be empowering to your average female, why is she photosopped in the picture? why doesn't anyone in the video have clothes on? sure women can wear what they want but still, your average woman never goes around in that type of clothing. and why does she just sing about her having sex and her big butt? sure she can be proud of her big butt, but seriously i was a girl seeing that "fat ass" i wouldn't think "yeah go girl power!" i'd just get even more drawn in to the rediculous beauty standards for women. that's just my thoughts on the matter.

    Seeing Drake in this video I can't help but think part of the Meek Mill feud is because he's butthurt that Meek Mill "stole" Nicki after after he called dibs.

      Miguel Rodriquez Meek Mill "started it" because of the perceived slight that Drake was not promoting Meek's album. Possibly because the songs were recorded before Meek started going out with Nicki and were released after.

    I've been called a "white feminist" countless of times (a statement of fact, yet an insult these days) for completely dismissing this song as a "feminist anthem" and pointing out how it just goes on about women trading sex for material goods. Not even Nicki body-shaming slim women at the end was a "no-no". This song somehow made her into a feminist icon and that hasn't even changed when she openly supported her brother charged with a rape of a child.
    Someone please explain to me WTF is feminism these days, because it clearly no longer means belief in equality of sexes.

    When she raps "boy toy named Troy used to live in Detroit", she might as well have said "boink boink nay boink do-do-li-li-di boink". Her mush-mouthed little girl delivery is strange, considering she can often rip through complex lines. And the outer has her saying "bitches in the clu", no B at the end. Both are annoying and weird.

    Male rappers use female sexiness for sales but when a woman use her sexiness for sales it’s a different story. The song she’s sampling is using the female body. I honestly don’t get it. Like let people have fun and make songs that aren’t so serious. Ppl has so many rules for rap especially towards women..just let them have fun. And her going to pop got her paid and ppl complaining. Tell me who’s winning in that situation. Plus open the doors for other rappers to try pop.

  • @summersmells
    @summersmells หลายเดือนก่อน

    I used to love this song lmao, especially the crazy cackle at the end. I saw it as her showing that she's undoubtedly sexy and sexual, while also refusing to make that sexiness appealing and palatable (by doing stuff like the hyena cackle). So it was like, Yeah I'm hot but I'm not an object, I'm in control of my own sexuality and actually I'm kinda weird underneath all the body! etc.
    I also thought it was a twist on how men talk about women, by reducing Troy/Michael to objects by only caring about their dick/money and exploiting them for it, using those men the same way a misogynistic man would use a woman (which felt revolutionary to my 21yo mind).
    HOWEVER, knowing what I know now about Nicki Minaj, I was definitely reading too much into what is essentially a cash grab pop song, and I think you're right that (if she was attempting to empower/liberate) she missed the mark and ended up doing the thing I thought she was trying to satirize. Hindsight 20/20 !
    (also I know this video is 9 years old at this point lol, I'm just binging your vids at the moment and am addicted to giving my 2c!!)

  • @BambiLena666
    @BambiLena666 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only thing I dissagree with here, is when she raps about having sex with guys and getting expensive clothes, shoes etc. for it. In my opinion it works because its Nicki, and she isnt dependant on men to get those things. She can buy all that stuff on her own, and she is making a lot of money by herself, men for whatever reason are willing to give her expensive things and luxurious living if she has sex with them. In a ''classic'' narative its viewed as a girl giving up her precious sexuality that is to be saved and handled with care to a man who gives her material things he places no value on, but she cant get any other way, therefore shes looked down upon. But in Nickis case, she allready has the money they do, she doesnt need them, but she knows she can get more from them, so she takes it.

    I think she was trying the "using men for sex & money" a trope that female artists go to. It is "empowering" in the sense that it posits men as a means to an end, just how male rappers do the same with positing women as a means to an end. Sure, she's being a dummy/bimbo, but she's getting stuff out of it. I agree about your "queenpin" comment- that makes much more sense.
    I don't think positing a certain body type as attractive/sexual is "objectifying" them -especially with Sir Mixalot. In fact, the term "objectifying" is overused. I mean, if Lizzo did the same video, would you say the same?
