Raptress Nicki Minaj flaunts her body by wearing skin-tight catsuits and a skimpy bikini in her newly released music video for her song "Beez in the Trap," was released as the lead urban single, and third single overall, from the 29-year-old entertainer's sophomore album, "Pink Friday: Roman Unloaded," which just hit stores on last Tuesday. Minaj isn't just creative in the studio, she puts it down on the video set as well. As always, the superstar rapper's fashions are as much a talking point as her rhymes. It makes you wonder what she has in store visually for her sophomore CD.
This '80s-inspired track finds the Harajuku Barbie taking aim at other female rappers in a similar fashion to other joints like "Stupid Hoe" and "Roman's Revenge." "Bitches ain't s--- and they ain't sayin' nothin'," she spits on the hook. The explicit song is a timely antidote to the wholesome-ish Minaj we've been treated to lately, and it features a 16-bar verse from Def Jam rapper 2 Chainz, who was formerly known as Tity Boi. He spits rhymes in which he brags about his Lexus LS 450, and how if he wasn't rapping, he'd be pimping.
"Trap" is a slang term for a crackhouse, and by saying that she "beez" (is in) the drug den, Minaj means to say that her music is so addicted that it's like crack cocaine to those who listen to it. Serious stuff! Minaj's provocative dancing in that video set the hip hop blog world ablaze, as many were surprised that as high profile an artist as Minaj would take the role normally relegated to models in hip hop videos. Minaj's at her most verbose again with a hot racy video and shows off her unique energy and distinct personality.
Bikinis, barbed wire and hundred dollar bills all feature prominently in the Benny Boom-directed club-party video, which is not complicated: Chainz and Minaj dance and stand around rapping their verses while scenes from a club are spliced in to add some visual texture to the song. Though the lyrics of the track contain plenty of boasting on Minaj's part, she seems to be moving more and more away from the tough girl vibe she cultivated on tracks like Kanye West's "Monster" and instead playing up her curvy sex appeal to great effect.
