New Video: Nicki Minaj – ‘Your Love’

Published: Wednesday 21st Jul 2010 by Trent

Nicki Minaj released the video for her new single, ‘Your Love’, today. The track, which is the 2nd to be lifted from her upcoming debut album, has thus far peaked at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #8 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Minaj’s still untitled LP hits stores on November 23rd. Check out the video below:

That was a good video. 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. The effects used at the end with the cloth as blood was quite inventive as well. Good stuff.

Sidebar: No wigs were harmed in the making of this video.

  3. Kenudigme July 21, 2010

  4. Robjr Loves Ciara July 21, 2010

    Nick Minaj slays, &people said she was only good on features well…. Think again

  5. ll July 21, 2010

    i dnt think it was low budget it was very creative

  6. Keekster July 21, 2010

    Cute

  7. Kahari July 21, 2010

    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.

    F*** YOU I CAN’T WATCH IT

  9. Gary July 21, 2010

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

  10. ADE July 21, 2010

    oh scratch that I can 😀

  11. T July 21, 2010

    You failed to mention that it’s Number 1 on the Rap Billboard charts…………a feet that hasnt been accomplished by a solo female rapper since Missy Elliot’s “Work it” in 2002.

    Great Video. She looked really really pretty also

  12. FreshUrbanEnt July 21, 2010

    GREAT CONCEPT BUT THE VIDEO LOOKS KINDA CHEAP. MASSIVE ATTACK LOOKED BETTER VISUALLY BUT THIS VIDEO HAS A BETTER CONCEPT.

  13. Lexi July 21, 2010

    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

  14. meme July 21, 2010

    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…

  15. Veebz July 21, 2010

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

  16. meme July 21, 2010

    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?

  17. tata July 21, 2010

    Wow, I really like the video…it’s so sweet and sad. Far better than massive attack.
    Luv the song too. Good on nicki.

  18. Last Boy on Earth July 21, 2010

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

  19. FUTURESTARdelux July 21, 2010

    TRENT SHUT THE F*** UP THAT VIDEO WAS WHACK JUST LIKE THE SONG AND SANTIGOLD DID THAT WHOLE “INVENTIVE” BLOOD STUFF BEFORE AND BETTER.

  20. Shaytan July 21, 2010

    Beyonce called said she wants her ” Ring The Alarm ” Outfit back.. Lady Gaga said she didn’t know you borrowed her gloves… Gwen Stefani says she is looking for her Harajuku girls .. Have you seen them?

    Get Your Own S*** Why You Riding Mine – Lil Kim

  21. LADYGAGARULES July 21, 2010

    it does look like Call on me from Janet Jackson I thought it was just me. I like the song and video is cute. So is Micheal Jai White. YummY!!!!

  22. thatmangojuice July 21, 2010

    What a nice review KAHARI … i agree 🙂

  23. bobs July 21, 2010

    LOVE THE SONG, but the video could be WAY better than that.

  24. sean July 21, 2010

    much cheaper version of Janet’s call on me

  25. CIaraMAdness July 21, 2010

    a good watch!!!! 🙂

  26. Zam Zhinga July 21, 2010

    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.

  27. Zam Zhinga July 21, 2010

    It does conjure images of the HYPE WILLIAMS directed “Call on me” video from Janet Jackson. Sweet and safe video without being over the top or cliche’. Somebody is guiding this new jack in the right direction FINALLY….

  28. Aryo July 21, 2010

    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!

  29. ADE July 21, 2010

    eh decent video, nothing to scream about

  30. MB July 21, 2010

    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”

  31. T July 21, 2010

    Little X directed this video and he is Hype Willams’ protege so thats why there may be soem similarities from Janet’s Call on Me and Beyonce’s Check On it

  32. Ogz July 21, 2010

    Great song and video!

  33. nopoly July 21, 2010

    who gives a damn if the Caucasian community accepts it!

    Hawt video

  34. RosaRubbel July 21, 2010

    She is really beautiful & she has such a cute smile.

  35. Badd July 21, 2010

    I loveee the song.
    But idk what you guys are talking abouttt…
    The video wasn’t that great..,,
    & though it portrayed the message.. it did it in a simple, cheap
    way that wasn’t exciting at all.
    She could have done better than that.
    But Lmaoooo @ Shaytan.:
    I really liked Nicki but I stopped liking her as
    much when I found out how much she copied
    other ppl….she’s a true gimmick.
    But still a good rapper.

  36. X,Y,”and Z” July 21, 2010

    This chick is a STAR! … Some have it, some don’t; Nicky Minaj has it, by the boatloads!
    I can see why Lil’ Frumpy is mad and talking mess: Them B****** is Nicky’s sons …!!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!

  37. Dev July 21, 2010

    I like the song and the video, I’m still not sold on Nikki because this song features a well know sample (i think this is why i like it) so i’m waiting to hearl somthing both catchy and original next

  38. CrackIsWack July 21, 2010

    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.

  39. Tiff July 21, 2010

    horrible and cheaply made.

  40. GangsterA July 21, 2010

    *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

  41. Peaches July 21, 2010

    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…

  42. Beysbetter July 21, 2010

    @ Gangsterea…so u like cheap things…hmm.

  43. Sunshine July 21, 2010

    @Tiff…damn (LOL)

  44. HaYYYYYY July 21, 2010

    such a good video
    great story and nicki looks really great
    even tho its a lil cheap lookin and corny
    lol
    but i love the song and it deserves to go to the top 10 on billboard 100

  45. David July 21, 2010

    It was ok, I liked the story. Could’ve been more scenes for the storyline though because it was already in slow motion & all

  46. Shaytan July 21, 2010

    Team Nicki:

    Janet Jackson is looking for her video.. Nicki have you seen it.. Its called Call On me? I think you used it for your latest video.. Didn’t you check out Beyonce “Check up on it ” as well.. Could you please return the videos at your earliest

    Thank You,

    Janet Jackson & Beyonce

    FYI – We respect Lady Gaga who inspiration comes from others but at lease she has the creativity to turn it into something beyond.. You fail.. We will never allow you to check out out videos again!

  47. kita July 21, 2010

    Video was fire, and Meme u asian so you should know that the abstract of the silks in place of actually scenery is all apart of the asian art… SMH!!!!! And I’m tired of ppl sayin copy this and that because if that was the case then we would all need to take off are clothes cuz for every item we have on 300 other ppl got it on too.

  48. True Blue July 21, 2010

    Is anyone else sick of every song being Auto-Tuned these days? It’s a big part of why I can’t get into this track.

  49. Andrew July 21, 2010

    Hahahaha
    I loved it :]

  50. MeMe July 21, 2010

    Who the f*ck is MEME?!!! I am MeMe damnit

  51. mya July 21, 2010

    your the girl ever

  52. Diane July 21, 2010

    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 s*** even with his clothes on. Video and Nicki is good; leading man sucks. They do not have chemistry.

  53. Marquis / Ciara STAN/FAN July 21, 2010

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

  54. south beach hearts lbj July 21, 2010

    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

  55. carl July 21, 2010

    ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF RAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. BLACk July 21, 2010

    I LOVe it, good job nicki

  57. Yellow Gorilah July 21, 2010

    Dont care for the video but I love the song! 😀

  58. Durrel Jennings July 21, 2010

    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.

  59. Mel J July 21, 2010

    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..

  60. Tiff July 22, 2010

    ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF CRAP!

  61. ~TeAM WeeZY~ July 22, 2010

    Um, I never liked this song. It’s catchy and all but her lyrics are extremely elementary! And I actually think she’s a pretty good lyricist but this represents the exact opposite.

    The video is okay. It is too cheap, bad acting, and wierd concept. But she does look pretty.

  62. Kevin July 22, 2010

    I feel the video could have been a bit more genuine. The concept is infinitely better than massive attack, but I feel like the martial arts studio was like someone’s living room that they renovated.

    though it is a good video, and i love the red cloth room.

  63. Ok July 22, 2010

    i think i shed a tear, it’s a cute video. Simple and not so over the top. This are the type of music video i miss.

  64. raraskils July 22, 2010

    first she copying hard by rihanna.
    now she copying call on me by janet.
    smdh.

  65. likeCAESAR July 22, 2010

    This is SUPER DUPER WACK! Somebody mentioned Missy Elliott “Work It” was the last time a female was number 1 on the rap billboard….well that f****** sux cuz that song is 50 million times better than this b*******. This not even hiphop. This some old lady gaga reject lookin ass s***. Damn why can’t this chick deliver on all this hype she getting?

  66. whatever Man July 22, 2010

    How is this s*** #1? I mean the U.S. media is a bought and sold cheap ass organization! I like Nicki but the auto-tune on this track is ridiculous! I guess they can make anyone a singer for the right amount of money!

  67. trucie July 22, 2010

    I’m luvin this video yo. LOL say what you want. The b**** is definitely out the box and exactly what we need. And the video has a nice theme. All haters fall back, cuz Nicki is doing the damn thing. Can’t wait for the album to drop.

  68. MR . So Dope July 23, 2010

    This video is Nice lookin i agree with everyone when they Say its not over the top n she tones it down with the wigs n facial expressions and give us a nice video wit a cute love story . i do feel parts of the video could of been better but the scenes with her in the red drape room and the blue drape room are lovely. n if you feel she copied off beyonce video and janet jackson blame the director Hype Williams cause he copied beyonce check up on it when he made janet jackson call on me video this is a type of theme he uses for his videos !! but overall nice look a lot better than Massive attack cause tht video was over the top n the song didnt do that well as a single ! keep doin ya thing nicki !!

  69. Taylor July 23, 2010

    I do not believe that it was THAT low budget that you have to mention it is low budget (hard to understand but read it over xD). I thought the concept and the depictions were great and I thought the storyline was a nice twist, even the part where she died at the end (even tho i laughed the first time i saw the video because of the blood seeping outxD). This is a very nice change from the norm . If you’ve ever seen asian-styled flicks you will know why the acting was very dramatic in some places. Anyway I love the video and I CANNOT WAIT until november 23rd. Nicki is going to shut it down.

  70. michaela August 8, 2010

    who won the battle? which one got the guy?

  71. ANGUILLA September 9, 2010

    I don’t like this video. Too CHEAP. Nicki and the producers of this video assume scornful attitude to Japanese people.
