it's always funny when someone stumbles into actually explicitly saying "ew girly!" rather than cloaking it in objectivity

I still think "Anaconda" is really fun until it just turns into a shitty trap remix. Love the video, you boys can all go home.

"aside from having an awesome beat"
really dude. Having "Blurred Lines" flashbacks where everyone except me likes the beat (that one was the same BS post-peak Neptunes Pharrell has always got criticized for BTW but for some reason got a pass) and I feel like I'm trippin'. but shit is wack

"objectivity" ? It is too girly for my tastes and I like certain girly shit
if that's a bad adjective I just think it's a lame song

It is a fun beat but I'm personally of the opinion that Iggy Australia's minstrel ass can go fuck herself.

yeah totally
i would never have gone in on the 'massive attack' video for its pitifully clueless awkwardness had i known this was in store
oh well guess i'll have to settle for ogling

Could not make it through the song. Though at the ice skating rink with my kids yesterday I heard some weird chopped up remix of "Baby's Got Back" which was not this, afaict. Will be awesome if/when this Nicki things gets traction and they go to youtube, their preferred method of listening to music, though of course they like the pop stuff better so may just miss this mess entirely.

I love the song but the video... ugh. I don't know what I was hoping for but this isn't it.

the girlyness of fancy is the only thing to like imo, it's got a certain old school sassiness, salt n pepa, l'trimm etc etc

i've grown to like the first two verses of anaconda but then it just kinda sits there - bad sign when your extended coda gets outshone in the video by drake sitting in a chair

Nicki basically has three types of songs, her emo Katie Perry rapsing bullshit, her queen of england quirky verbal tic Japanese sex robot songs, & her busta on scenario burn down the track amazing verse songs. 2 of the 3 suck and are more likely to be on albums where the good stuff is more bound for YouTube & mixtapes so it makes sense the albums won't be that good

lol that people are surprised music videos inspire masturbation, the reddit is funny though
re that article, I can appreciate sex-positive feminist ideas but I don't see how you can isolate the feminist intention in a video from the sexist reception of it
there's been these terrible ads for protein water in Denmark over the summer, and the video reminded me of them

The last setup involves Nicki giving Drake a lap dance and walking away after presumably giving him a boner, making this Drake’s second most embarrassing public erection after Jimmy’s classroom boner in Degrassi. Drake, of all people — stripper-fetishizing emo prince Drake — is the sexual object in “Anaconda.” And with that final inversion, Nicki more or less flips the whole twerking issue onto its stomach, where it can continue to hump the ground forever.
i don't understand this at all how is sweatpants boner drake the sexual object in this video?
― ruffalo soldier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 21 August 2014 18:39 (nine years ago) link
you'd be surprised how many women can make an object out of "if jay-z and elliott gould had a baby"
― da croupier, Thursday, 21 August 2014 18:43 (nine years ago) link
idgi either. nicki is clearly the object of drake's desire. her desire isn't even hinted it. on that score, the only inversion i see is that she retains control, commands desire without being bound by it. but yeah, maybe we're meant to understand that he's the object simply because he's hot?
