Nicki Minaj Glows In Her Colorful "Super Bass"

After some delay, Nicki Minaj pulls back the covers on her vibrant video for for her latest single "Super Bass," a bonus track featured on the deluxe edition of her chart-topping debut, "Pink Friday." It's an obvious hit, much more potent than a majority of "Pink Friday." With a wildly stylized video that looks like a comic book come to life, the curvy beauty reveals more of her sensitive side as she playfully chases down a hunky potential suitor using her womanly wiles.
"Pink Friday" is short on memorable hooks, but "Super Bass" is an exception, with a 'boom-da-boom' earworm layered on top of a deceptively busy beat. According to Trinidadian recording artist, the song's lyrics tell the story of a boy that you have a crush on and are about wanting to get intimate but instead taking a playful approach. The song draws from the hip hop, R&B and Rap genres while also infusing elements of pop combined with an upbeat hook that really sticks. The song is the most pop-friendly song released by Minaj so far.
The video is, like Minaj herself, nothing but colorful. Directed by Sanaa Hamri, the 'eye candy' and colorful video had the better choreography. Dazzling in a skintight pink bodysuit emblazoned with giraffe prints, the fashion-forward diva is dressed up in the same day-glo color scheme that Minaj completed the look with a half-blond and half-pink wig, gold eye shadow and bright pink lipstick matching the outfit. The always-entertaining Minaj and her troupe of pink-wigged Barbies shake their stuff in booty shorts in the flirtatious video.
Riding a motorcycle made of ice, splashing in a pool of pink water, and reprising her lap dances in the dark, with plenty of eye candy to go around, the newly dubbed "Queen of Hip-Hop" is clearly upping the sex appeal. The Young Money diva explained the focus behind the video: "I just wanted to do something real colorful and cutesy. This is an icy world, it's a sexy world, it's a playful world. Of course I have lots of eye candy for my girls and my boys." The video ends with Minaj lit in the black lighting, biting her finger.
