Look, I’m not the biggest Nicki Minaj fan. The outfits. The weird multiple personalities. The Lil Wayne connect. The Drake connect. The fake butt. The dramatics and overall over-the-topness. It’s a tired act. But… {unintended, but necessary pun} this Anaconda video, though… Whoa!

Super-Id has covered Nicki Minaj in the past. Hell, we’ve done it twice. Anaconda is one a different level. This is a video made for social media, especially Twitter. This is a video that will trend nationally. This is a video that will start trends, or in this case, breathe resuscitation into a trend {twerking, which white people and the media completely ruined}. 

Here are my immediate thoughts surrounding Anaconda.

• This is the video Sir Mix-A-Lot should have made in the first place.

• MTV and other music video channels are going to have emergency meetings to discuss whether or not to play this {not that MTV plays videos anymore…} because TV is infamously afraid and fascinated by African-American female bodies and sexuality.

• The video forces you to like the song.

• White women will be appropriating this with the quickness. Give it 24hrs and YouTube “Anaconda routine” and see video uploads after video uploads of white girls with no ass-at-all trying to do what they consider twerking.

• Miley Cyrus just got chin-checked.

• This makes Taylor Swift’s dancing video seem goofy now, huh? Anaconda makes Taylor Swift relevant to girls under thirteen.

• Each Nicki Minaj video makes me rethink my position on fake butts.

• I could watch this video on repeat. All day. Seriously. All day. I’d close my left eye to block out Drake though…

• I haven’t really listened to the lyrics of the song. I have no idea what it’s about. Slightly confused as to why a female Nicki Minaj is seeing about anacondas. Confused, but not caring enough to really give the song a listen, as listening will distract me from watching the music video.
