New Video: Nicki Minaj – ‘Starships’

Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj shows off her assets in her 'Starships' video.

As Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ album continued to fall further down the Billboard 200 this week, the Pop star has release the video for the project’s lead single, ‘Starships’. Yet, does this clip have the appeal to boost her record sales?

Thus far, ‘Roman Reloaded’ has sold 382K copies in the US and dipped to #6 on this week’s Billboard 200 ranking. Even ‘Starships’ has lost steam as it tumbled to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week after previously peaking at #5 o the chart. Watch the video for the tune below:

Basically, Minaj completed her transformation into Ke$ha with this ‘Starships’ video. She even had the paint and the neon lighting of the latter’s ‘Take it Off’ production. Unfortunately, though, the visual just didn’t work.

How did this ‘Starships’ visual match the song? Did it relate to the ‘lyrics’ or even represent the theme of therecord? Maybe I missed something or was simply confused by all of the half naked people in the video but this clip seemed like nothing more than 3 minutes of colourful breasts, legs and thighs.

  The only thing on her body moving is her lace wig. This plastic surgery is a hot mess.

  SMH I THINK WE CAB ALL AGREE THAT ROMAN RELOADED IS A FLOP. ITS JUST ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH IT’S LACK OF DIRECTION. AS A FAN I’M GOING TO NEED NICKI TO JUST TAKE THIS AS A LESSON, ACCEPT THE LOSSES AND CHANNEL EVERYTHING INTO MAKING A DAMN GOOD 3RD ALBUM CAUSE SHE IS MORE THAN CAPABLE. DONT FUCKING WASTE YOUR TALENT BITCH.
  INSTEAD OF GOING POP SHE CAN CREATE A LANE FOR HERSELF WITH A NICE FUSION OF POP AND HIP-HOP. THAT WAY SHE WILL STAND OUT, NOT LOOK LIKE KESHA-KATY PERRY 2.0. SMH MAD AT NICKI FOR THIS WHOLE ERA

  Nope, not feeling the music video or song. You’re right Trent, just 3 minutes of colourful breasts, legs and thighs. I wanted more for Nic, but I see everytime I put some faith in her, she fails. Now that my girl RiRi is getting some dance lessons, I hope Nicki does the same with her stiff-ass LOL!
  Smh!! *ShakesHead*

  wtf nicki? i don’t get this video :/
- JustMe_Andria29
  
  Nicki has way too many “yes men” on her team. Somebody should’ve spoke up and told her how horrible this video really is. I can’t believe the Barbz accept this garbage.

  Ew… this looks so budget, and so does her surgery… her ass and tits look hard as fuck and her weaves are cheap as fuck.

  STOP THE MOTHERFUCKING HATE YOU DICKHEADS!

  That wig is ridiculous, her surgery looks aqful and she spent the whole video trying to be sexy and failing. I love RiHanna but she can’t really whine that great, thus said, she is still 10 times better than Nicki Minaj who kept pushing her fake breasts to the camera, she is hot though but really, smh 3/10

  AS IF THIS FOOL ABOVE ME JUST SAID RIHANNA IS BETTER. MY NIGGA YOU NEED THE CONVICTION IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS
- Dariel
  
  Danielle, have your ass 5,302,918 seats. You seem a bit pressed that no one is checking for your fave. Besides, the word “hating” has been out of style so stop using it. Come to 2012, bew.

  Nicki Minaj is an artist. she draws everyones attention and no matter what her name will be in your mouth. You may not like the video but it’s selling more than most of your fav artist out, why is that? oh yeah cause nicki’s bad. u mad ? No1currrrrrrrrrrrrr
- RickyB
  
  I love Nicki and i love the Video. @Derrick she’s on top right now so of course she’s getting hate. like Nicki says,”all i do is win, ain’t that reason why you really mad” and nicki’s going nowhere but the bank hoes, so get use to seeing her face and hearing the voice !
- itgirlJazz
