Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj and Army of Barbies Invade Desert for ‘Massive Attack’ Video

Nicki Minaj rounded up her troop of Harajuku Barbies, clad in hot pink wigs and helmets, and stormed the desert of Lancaster, Calif., to shoot the Hype Williams-directed video for “Massive Attack,” the first single from her debut album.

The hip-hop heroine stars in the action-packed clip, which includes a helicopter chase and a militaristic jungle scene. Amber Rose and Sean Garrett make cameos, and even Drake stopped by to pay his Young Money cohort a visit.

“It’s gonna be a fucking bomb,” Garrett told Rap-Up.com of the track, which he produced and is featured on. “It’s very, very explosive! The record puts her in the game in a way that says she should’ve been here a long time ago.”

ok so this post is about Nicki Minaj and not that flop who hasnt gone gold off her third album. Moving right along though, this video is gonna slay and to the people saying shes copying BEP imma be video what makes u think that just cause shes in the desert??? Do u know how many videos before that were shot in the dessert cause i can name about 15. whoever said that is beyond simple minded. This video will put her in a league of her own.

Lady Gaga (Telephone), Mariah Carey (I Stay In Love), Destiny’s Child (Cater 2 U), Rihanna (Hard, Rehab), Missy Elliot (Lose Control), and I’m sure plenty others have shot videos in the desert, so stop saying she’s copying off of BEP. Lol UMAD?!

Sorry the video to beat this year will be Gaga and Beyonce. Nicki needs to sit her old bpolat ass down. And dummies this girl is not 25 the bitch is damn near 30, believe that! The only two chicks running shit this year will be Gaga and A.Keys with Beyonce pushin them so Cici run down ass and Nicki ghetto asses can fall back. Nicki is the joke of hip hop except to you thirsty ass teeny boppers trying to be plastic ass barbie dolls. You want to hear real female emcees look up Jean Grae, MC Lyte, Queeen Latifah, Foxy Brown, Lil Kim who Nicki is tryin so bad to be, Remy Ma, and etc. I could go on and on. I don’t give a damn if they don’t have new material out, but nothing Nicki does could ever hold a candle to anything they’ve done. Fuck Young Money – homo thugs tryiin to be Junior Mafia or Tupacs OutLaws GTFOH!

@lil cici

queen ci? u serious? queen? queen of what? dancing like a hooker? being out shopping? whispering in the mic?

why are those singers always being named queen? there is no queen rihanna, queen beyonce, queen britney or something like that…

if there were queens then it would be aretha, whitney, celine, madonna….but just because they last that long

calling the running flop a queen doesnt make her better, but you can start calling nicole s. a queen, too, maybe its helping her sales…

thats why fantasy ride became multi-platinum…yes, you’re right….she’s the shit

as i said, she’s hot, yes
she can dance, yes
will she stay relevant in music? no

but shes smart with starting the model thing, she knows she will not be relevant in 10 years anymore, thats why she is getting the money while she can

and who cares…i have all of her cds, yes i even own fantasy ride, but why calling her a queen? what did she achieve in music that makes her a queen? nothing
she is just a younger kind of janet, but does nothing new

i liked her when she came out, but now she is just dancing like a stripper

and who cares if it was 04 or 05?

(laughs) Ciara will remain relevant in years to come. this long as essay proves nothing. please give up hon because you’ve been saying the same corny ass shit. amd don’t compare her to Janet because her and Janet are two different artists. if she hasn’t achieved anything in music then how come….

Once again, you’ve come up with some great ideas for fun and eanudtiocal aceviitits for the kids. I specifically enjoyed your description of David at the National Museum. I’ve seen it in person but it was nice to see him through your eyes. At Lin’s suggestion, the family headed down to the arts festival at Clarke Quay. It was a great way to spend a leisurely hour.I have now added your site to my yahoo homepage.
