Nicki Minaj “Your Love”

That’s right, the much awaited video to Nicki Minaj‘s single “Your Love” has dropped! Although “Your Love” was never intended to be released by the Young Money Group, however leaks on Youtube lead Nicki Minaj to garner her first solo #1 on the Billboard Rap 100 which made her the first solo female rapper to top the Rap Chart in 8 years!.

The video works well with the track, yet (dare I say it!) this is another recession friendly video – hey maybe that all the rage in the US at the moment! While seemingly low budget, the clip captured the essence of the song well without going the typical route that most Hip-Hop acts would have taken – clubs, stripper poles and money raining from the sky (no names need to be mentioned). Nicki Minaj looks remarkably “health” (and by that, maybe the budget was spend on making her face so god dam flawless!) in the video, and yes, she’s got a new set of weave!

Your Love” has already climbed to #18 on the US Billboard hot 100, it’s release is expected in Europe this weekend titled “Your Love The EP”. Unlike “Massive Attack“, it’s nice to see Nicki Minaj do something toned down, however for many critics this video has confused them about what to expect from Nicki Minaj‘s album which is due to drop this November. Either way the track will do well, and at times the video does remind me of Beyonce’s “Check On It” – maybe they used the same silk sheets? Remember The MoMo Show is set to interview Nicki Minaj this August – so keep it locked for chances to win a meet and great with the first lady of Young Money!

Comment from h-one - July 21, 2010 at 10:57 pm

Better than the first one. Love the song

Comment from nothing to say but hey - July 21, 2010 at 10:58 pm

Loveee it!! so cute!

Comment from Nicki For Life - July 21, 2010 at 10:59 pm

i dnt think it was low budget it was very creative

Comment from Chris - July 21, 2010 at 10:59 pm

I must admit, first and foremost, that this was my very first time hearing the song. With it’s R&B poppy sound, Nicki Minaj’s idioms and metaphorical lyrics rapping all over the song, it could be easily a Top 10 hit on both of the Billboard charts (sidebar: which has caused me to wonder, do you think that the Caucasian community would embrace a female rapper like Minaj or have they accepted Hip-Hop for what it has become in general?). Now that there’s a visual tone to the song to complete the package, “Your Love” could easily promote itself as fans anxiously awaits for Nicki’s upcoming album to drop in November. Might I add, I think Nicki looks extremely beautiful in every scence.

Comment from Mariah! - July 21, 2010 at 11:00 pm

The video is good , but the song still the biggest mistake of 2010 ! I can’t believe people like it !

Comment from DJ Ace - July 21, 2010 at 11:00 pm

oh scratch that I can

Comment from macyyyiu6 - July 21, 2010 at 11:01 pm

i cant stand Nicki
BUT i have to admit, I liked this!!! I hope this makes it to the top of the Billboard chart
well done Nicki not trashy at all! i must say the ending was kinda cheesy but loved the imagery

Comment from cc - July 21, 2010 at 11:01 pm

seriously from JAPANESE perspective….
there is no CLASS wearing Kimono like that… we hide skins in order to make man dream whats inside the kimono. NIcki wouldnt rock formal kimono anyway, so it is understandable
to make it as a complete costume… if they get that idea from Anime, then forget it.

i really did not get where they are heading for…. and Music video that used to amuse me is JUST going worse…. where is the creativity? every body is copying classic, it is okay to copy but you have to put something new from that….
or am i just growing up…

Comment from jjh - July 21, 2010 at 11:02 pm

I like it the Video would have been much better if Sexy had his shirt off lol. Nicki looks much better with less make up

Comment from Hannah - July 21, 2010 at 11:02 pm

@JJH GIRL SHE HAD MORE MAKE UP ON THAN THE MAKE UP COUNTER!

Comment from 84jENNIx - July 21, 2010 at 11:03 pm

and i know they copy that concept from kill bill the movie, but you cant even make people think where they get the idea from, they used to twist them around to show it no? xxx

Comment from I(L)ChrisBreezy - July 21, 2010 at 11:03 pm

DOPEEE!!! THIS VIDEO IS SO SEXY LY X

Comment from i’mnotgay! - July 21, 2010 at 11:04 pm

Cool video, reminded me of Call on Me by Janet Jackson tho

Comment from ZimZimmah - July 21, 2010 at 11:05 pm

I instantly liked the song when i first heard the ANNIE LENNOX Sample. THe video is subtle and inventive. Creative and not corny. I like this subdued Minaj better than the caricatures of past rap FEMCEES that she has portrayed to date. This was well done, and I think the video is a compliment to the song. Finally i see some potential. Good job, visually, I like this. Very symbolic.

Comment from aggro - July 21, 2010 at 11:06 pm

I always hated rap but whan i listan to nicky minaj i feel like she is 1 of my fav singers cuz she rocks everything wen she sings!

Comment from Mary Mary - July 21, 2010 at 11:06 pm

it was ok, but videos should not be 100% slow motion. plus all the fabric looks cheap and Beyonce already did that much better in “Check on it”

Comment from OMGOVERKILLWITHCLOTH! - July 21, 2010 at 11:07 pm

That video… no honey… it was a bit overkill with the cloth. It started out cute but somewhere in the middle it just got tacky. The ending was overdone as well… I get what they were trying to do, but it came off cheesy.

Comment from YAYA - July 21, 2010 at 11:07 pm

*claps*See this is kind of videos i can get down with not over the top expensive videos turn out to be bad (telephone.alejandreo) its sweet great set great fashion good story and the song is amazing too great job nicki can lil kim do this ? Nob she cant

Comment from Gena - July 21, 2010 at 11:08 pm

LOL FINALLY A VIDEO I CAN SHOW MY MOM! BUT SERIOUSLY! SHE FINALLY TONED IT DOWN! X

Comment from jlO - July 21, 2010 at 11:09 pm

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!!!! I cant remember the last time I saw a video w/out stirippers , money falling down oh and girls getting low.. Great job! LOL at the no wigs were harmed comment…

Comment from Mike! - July 21, 2010 at 11:09 pm

What’s with all the clothes? The leading man could have been hotter. It sucks that Tyrese is filming Transformers 3, because he would have killed it. Maybe she could have used T.I., who would have made the video sexy even with his clothes on. Video and Nicki is good; leading man sucks. They do not have chemistry.

Comment from YummyxBoo! - July 21, 2010 at 11:09 pm

REALLY!? Nicki is falling for that man!? for real? EWWWW

Comment from Ciara4Life - July 21, 2010 at 11:10 pm

NICKI MINAJ THIS VIDEO IS FIRE!!!!!! YOUR LOVE SONG IS THE SHIT!!!! I LIKE THE CONCEPT IN THE VIDEO NICE JOB NICKI!!!!

Comment from jennifer - July 21, 2010 at 11:10 pm

she went to the middle with this video treatment and with her gimmick. it worked. ppl are real tired of her extremes. this is much more palletable and she will gain many more fans taking this route of subtlety. she is far more enjoyable like this. no jumbo lumpy ass meat, no over the top animated faces, toned down on the lil kim’isms.

thumbs up

Comment from Brudda - July 21, 2010 at 11:12 pm

The video was ok…all those drapes n stuff was a lil annoying…I mean..even the damn blood was a drape! lol. She looked great tho. Love the song.

Comment from Mel J - July 21, 2010 at 11:12 pm

Should’ve added more elements to the video..I mean, I would’ve thought they would actually go to China, to give it a ginuine feeling..but maybe this will grow on me, the more I watch it..

Comment from JGH - July 21, 2010 at 11:27 pm

i think she looks really cute love it!
