Rap-Up.com || Video: Nicki Minaj

Love is a battlefield in Nicki Minaj’s red-hot video for “Your Love,” the No. 1 rap song in the country from her debut album, due November 23. In her latest role, the Harajuku Barbie stars as a samurai-in-training, who falls in love with her master while a jealous peer fights for his affection. Will love conquer all?

I’m a Lil Kim fan 1st and foremost….not a huge Nicki fan, but I’m happy at least 1 female rapper is out in the spotlight! This song is trash and that’s probably y I haven’t fully embraced her….she doesn’t wow me (besides the dramatics)!

I got more gossip over at IAmFlashdance.blogspot.com

I like the video it was good it was worth the wait I wish nothing but success for her and the whole young money crew. The only part I hate in the video was the ending when he yell to the sky. It was so predictable and funny but the video was good. It made not been her single she wanted to put out I guess it need to come out and show her softer side to show she a girl with feeling. Idk what the hell im talking about Im just ranting. Lil kim had her time she ran the late 90s and early 00s but its nicki time she need to accepted it. Yall now im speaking truth regardless how nicki got where she at. The fact she is there now. Let the girl eat and get full.

This song is # 18 Right On Billboard Hot 100?
This song is # 1 Right On Billboard Rap Charts?

Yet she produces this cheap recession friendly video. It was already a hit why didn’t they spend time and money on the video? I’m sure this video was 1/4 of the budget for massive attack.

First of all, I liked the video and I like the song.

Second of all, you people saying she copied someone else’s video, get real, boo. You’re the same people who said she copied Rihanna just cause the video was in the desert. When Mariah Carey, BEP, Missy Elliott, and countless others have shot their video in the desert. Get real. She is not copying all those people. It’s just a location. “OOp someone shot a video in the club, they’re obvious copying _______” 390243804324 people have shot music videos in the club. Stfu!

Nicki Minaj looks 20 times better than that plastic faced cabbage doll. Lil Kim is washed up, Done, finished!!!. Her second song is already a top 10 hit without a feature so shes definately proved she can stand alone. Nicki aint going anywhere anytime soon so get used to it Haters.

Dumb Kids – Its not about location.. Its about the entire video is a rip of Janet Jackson – No Matter Who Produced It. The Nails, The Clothing, The Bridge Etc.. Who Cares About Location.. @ The Lil Kim comments – Kim is as real as Nicki’s ass

Kim has been doing voices for years.. Kim has been making the barbie faces for years.. Do your research.. Google How Many Licks, Google La Bella Mafia, Google Notorious Kim

Kim started this shit and she will finish this shit! Besides the song is a sample! The beat is not orginal and the hook isnt either.. Its a hit because the Pop kids can relate to it (because its all been done before)

Tell Nicki to sit her Blue Clues Rap Ass Down!

Nicki Minaj does not have her album coming out because she’s waiting till lil wayne get out because she can’t hold her own and she knows her album will flop without him.

Lil Wayne is her mouth piece. Just as he was for Drake. Am I the only one who noticed how Drake & Nicki style changed onced they linked with Wayne.. They sound like him 100%

I know whenever I compare anything its rarely satisfying and always subjective and ego driven. When I just try to identify with stuff I am able to accept what it is and appreciate it for its genuineness and uniqueness. It is what it is. She is an accomplished artist. The production on this video was classic and uptown. She is a work in progress.

WTH ??? I just saw the Call on Me video and this is NO WHERE near the same concept. Some of you are hating on Nicki’s success so much that when every thing is good, you try to find something thts bad or that she bitted, nothing here is the same as any other video I’ve seen. I think all the chicks in this vid are bad (just to add), and I love the fite bcus I think everybody was expecting Nicki to win, but all-in-all, this video and song are hits.
