Music video: Nicki Minaj - Stupid hoe


I must be in the minority of people who don't hate the song "Stupid hoe". The song is absolute rubbish. Yes. But the song is funny, features some killer lines and I like the beat. I have a weakness for these horrid hood, fanga snappin' beats. Ya'll should know me by now.

As a buzz song, a bonus track or a mixtape track "Stupid hoe" could get a pass. But as a single for an upcoming album which is due in a few weeks time? Nicki, bye. This shit won't fly. The charts and mainstream buying public do not want this type of Nicki Minaj, Roman Rolanski or whatever the f**k she calls this alter ego who is on this track. They want the pop savvy "Super bass", "Turn me on" and "Where them girls at" Nicki. This song will tank harder than that virus ridden rig Jill Valentine found herself on in Resident evil: Revelations.

And if the song wasn't enough to kill all chances of a hit, then the video will body slam it right to the bottom of the charts and consciousness of all those who managed to make it through a viewing without wanting a refund on their soul or having an epileptic fit as a result of what is now Hype Williams signature editing style. This is one of Nicki Minaj's worst videos. And I have no idea what the f**k has happened to Hype Williams. This guy used to be responsible for some of the best videos in Rap, Hip-hop and R&B. He pretty much defined these genres visually with his cinematography. But now, his videos look a mess. I thought he scrapped the bottom of the barrel with Beyoncé's "Video phone", but he managed to scratch a hole in it with this.

I like 1:36, because a weave gets thrashed for no reason. But other than that, no. With the dislike ratio of the music video hitting over 60% on YouTube, I smell an album push back.
