Hot Shots: Nicki Minaj Turns Heads In ‘High School’ Video

Published: Tuesday 12th Mar 2013 by David


If you know anything about Nicki Minaj, you’ll know she’s a little ‘poor’ when it comes to promoting singles- literally ‘going with the chart flow’ as opposed to implementing her own strategies to make them pop off.

However, if the buzz surrounding her new single ‘High School’ is anything to go by, the Rapper may be on course to changing her promo ways and giving it the push it deserves. A push, intensified by the release of snaps from its music video, now available to drool over  admire above and below.

Seriously, with support from every major radio outlet (Pop and urban) and an installed audience that took ‘Beez In The Trap’ to Gold and ‘Va Va Voom‘ only a few units away from Platinum status, Nicki’s lax approach to pushing singles can be a little frustrating.

This, especially when the success of ‘Starships‘ proves just how successful all her singles in this era would have been had they been afforded live television performances, award show appearances and their own respective radio tours.

Will the release of ‘High School’ mark the end of this trend?

Weigh in below!

      U said the same about that other flip single this s**** released b****

  11. Promises March 12, 2013

    I’m just sooooooooo happy that Nicki Minaj kept her promise and chose not to sell s** and nudity. That was soooooooo smart of her especially since she came into the mainstream game at 28 and is now 30 years old. She’s sooooooooo different than the other female rappers and beyonce. She has not sold s** and nudity not once.

    • truth(icki is a KMART, NO GRAMMY NOD, PFRR FLOP, SQUID EYED b****) March 12, 2013

      ???HUH???!!! ‘big fat p****’ and ‘i like to play in his pants’ and ‘bust this p**** open on yhe island of tahiti’ isnt selln s**?? HUH B****?!?! HEAR YE HEAR YE..ICKI HAS THE STUPIDEST STANS ON EARTH!! GOT DAMN THEY DUMB!!

      • Yolanda March 12, 2013

        Promise’s comment sounds like it is meant to be sarcastic. Get a clue!

      • truth(icki is a KMART, NO GRAMMY NOD, PFRR FLOP, SQUID EYED b****) March 12, 2013

        @yolanda oh

      • Kevin March 12, 2013

  13. King bey March 12, 2013

    I will Never use S** to sale my Music – Nicki minaj , what is this cause every Second Video you have is letting your Fake Assets Out , Thats why everything about you is a Lie SHAME

    • TEAMNICKI March 12, 2013

      Female rappers been doing it for years hun she’s not the first to sell s**.. Blame Kim and Foxy

      • truth(icki is a KMART, NO GRAMMY NOD, PFRR FLOP, SQUID EYED b****) March 12, 2013

        but she said she WOULDnt do that tho

  14. Holy Hive March 12, 2013

    This needs to be the last song from this album because its tired

  15. Ciara March 12, 2013

    Nicki why not release im legit featuring me i need relevance help me!!

  16. Remey March 12, 2013

    As much as I want Highschool to be a win for Nicki, I have a feeling it won’t. The song is pure fire, but Nicki always let’s good singles go down the drain.

    She needs to realize that a good song is no longer the other ingredient to securing a single’s success.

  17. lily March 12, 2013

    her body >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    • Kate Middleton March 12, 2013

      is fat, ugly and deformed.

      • lily March 12, 2013

        I’m talking about Nicki not Lil Kim

    • Kate Middleton March 12, 2013

      garabaj’s body is fat, ugly and deformed.

      her face is also unfortunate. at least kim was cute before she went under the knife. garbaj was monstrous before the surgeries and now she is plain fugly, maybe after few more surgeries then she can upgrade to ugly.

      • NICKI WINS AGAIN March 12, 2013

        Gosh Kate Middleton!!!!!!!!! And that preggar, flat a$$ h** aint’ no better!!!!!!!! Check yourself Kate, Williams like black chicks!!!!!!

    So is this what Nicki is giving this era? White Woman S*** W**** teas? She is talented, she doesnt need to do all that to sell records.

    • msteefromdc March 12, 2013

      actually she does

  35. HOTSTUFF March 12, 2013

    she performed beez in the trap on BET awards, vavavoom video was a shameful mess and shes recently performed it on Jimmy kimmel, and starship’s success is clearly due to the pop audience and the countless live performances….So wtf is tgj talking about ? ….
    Onicka’s real problem is that she releases too many singles and videos at the same time, thus making it hard to keep up with her and cutting the ‘life’ of her singles short….it’s like a huge mess with singles, videos, lives, dropping left, right, up, down.

    • POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) March 12, 2013

      her singles got released so fast like a diarrhea because that what they are originally , a liquid uncontrolled s*** !!

      • HOTSTUFF March 12, 2013

    probably my fav song in her new flopped mixtape.

  37. Riqueen March 12, 2013

    I do respect the fact that she isn’t giving up on this song.

  38. yass March 12, 2013

    B**** WINNING.

  39. HATERS be MOTIVATERS March 13, 2013
