While the skill she possesses as a lyricist remains undeniable, one could argue that Nicki Minaj‘s ‘visual game’ isn’t half as tight as it should be…for an act of her calibre at least.
Indeed, despite winning on a sales and critical front since her debut, the world is yet to see Minaj birth an era filled to the brim with ‘timeless’ music videos, heading on the right with track with likes of ‘Your Love‘ but steering off course with the quantity over quality approach she took during her ‘Roman Reloaded’ era.
So, one needn’t be surprised at the glee felt by her fans today, when she unveiled snaps pulled from the set of ‘Rise of an Empire‘s ‘Senile’ video, teasing a Chola-themed concept available to peep above, and below!
Billed ‘Young Money: The Rise of an Empire’, ‘Senile‘s supporting album hit stores on March 11th 2014, marking the second compilation disk to emerge from the Hip Hop collective.
Also featuring Minaj‘s ‘Lookin’ Ass’, the album precedes the release of the rapper’s third studios set ‘The Pink Print‘ and houses Drake‘s ‘Trophies’, produced by Hit-Boy and Noah Shebib.
Exciting, right?!
Here’s hoping ‘The Pink Print’s videos are just as creative!
Embarassing for a 31 year old
Embarassing for a 31 year old
@txx It’s embarrassing for a 31 year old to be worth 45 million? i don’t understand your logic.
Love it !!! Wow ! *_*
She better slay that verse.
Hot ass mess…
The way Future’s child support payments are set up though.
Loving her new flow
Barbie Chola? like bitchh get outta here you’re lame.
Where you get off critiquing anybody’s career when you stan for Ciara is beyond me.
you have the nerve to call anybody lame when you stan for baby mamma number 12 aka Ciara lmao
57k is what’s lame my dear.
@Molly Have a seat, Nicki is “Choala Barbie” for this video and your pressed ass will just have to deal darling.
The irony in Molly calling Nicki lame when “Reloaded” sold more in the US than Ciara’s last four albums combined worldwide.
Yass queen them b****** are senile af
This flop still trying?
Is flopriah still trying?
She always looks like trash so I don’t see the difference between this look and her usual style.
Garbage, Trash, and flop sums up Nicki’s entire basic ass existence.
Wow, A Mariah’s stan talking about Flops, in 2014. How ironic.
Mariah slays your fave.
LmfaoO. Deluded b****, just like the rest of the Lambs.
We’ll lookin as n**** is a top 20 hit so……whose the flop though??
HEY GUY CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK OUT MY NEW VIDEO, IT WOULD MEAN A LOT
THANK YOU XOX

These lames stay pressed how is a moo Stan coming after nicki in 2014? Is her single in the top 2000 yet.. ? Oh.. Ok. And Ciara Stan’s can come after no one!
Gurl… You can come back when Nicki actually scores a #1 single or a Grammy. Until then, You shall remain dismissed.
Hey why are you on a Nicki post if you don’t like her? And 2 where’s You’re Flopping (Eternally)?
Icky Garbage is back !
Nice can’t wait to see the video, nicki doing her thing love the looking @ss video. and telling from what i am seeing so from these pics, i am going to like this one too.
only thing Mariah is slaying, is her own singles in the top 5000.
Nicki flow and deliverance is always good but her lyrics lacks substance!!!! For example lil kim -queen b**** lyrics she takes you on a journey it’s a store it flows!!!! It’s not just random s*** put together and how man times is she gonna use the line all these rappers/b******/n***** is my son ????? And I don’t give a f*** about how much she sales that don’t mean the music is good it just means a lot of you new generation kids don’t care about substance in lyrics anymore but this is just my opinion so take it how y’all want !!!!!!
“I used to wear moschino, now every b**** got it but now I rock colorful minks because my pockets stay knotted”
Sound familiar?
And keeping it real TGJ why would you expect “timeless/classic” videos from an artist who has yet to make a timeless/classic rap album? She may be y’all fav in TGJ butch cuhnt head qtrs but where it matters (in America not UK) her contributions to rap/hip hop are strictly from a popularity standpoint. Check for a timeless video once she has a song STAPLE in rap history. I wish y’all would stop trying to critique rappers music, like seriously
She look good as shitt! If I was straight I would have a lil crush…
Damn, she looks real good.
Also, I didn’t know Nicki Minaj was 31 years old. I thought she was like 25!
Nicki can’t wait to see the full video.
@rosie HAS NO LIFE, SHE’S ON EVERYBODY’S POST!
@Rosie where’s Lana’s Grammy?
OMG. Where’s Lana’s Grammy or #1? Rihanna has 8 that’s more then Del Flop Botox & Manriah Scary combined! Lorde slayed your basic flop fave!
@Rosie crying.
Try again Tricky Nicki Threesome. The blacks are over you now you run to the Latinos. Anything to save your career I see.
She looks like a chola bout to get gang banged.
dsfasfasdf
She Looks Good!
dghdghd
@Stephy stfu for once c** dumpster .
Dont reply to me
F*** YOU HO!
Iconic Cici, bitchh please! Mind your business ho!
you will always be beneath me.
Don’t you have a dickk to go suck?
*looks at your avi* the nerve! Ciara is a flop sis.
B**** you mad because Ciara hasn’t sold over 200k since 2007
The fact that Mariah is now compared to a Nicki Minaj says a lot about her alleged legendary career.
oop!
I like Kim better…
Nicki Minaj >>> Mooriahh
A Lana Del Rey stan talking about somebody’s looks though….I CAN’T.
BTW, this s*** looks basic and retarded.
Metzo = bitter/pressed bxtch.
Rihfund stans coming for Lana’s looks when their fave basically copies and pastes what ever she sees on lookbook.nu.
And Borde is slaying Lana where? BTD is outselling Payola Heroine in most countries with none of the payola, manufactured hype, and label-paid endorsements from other celebs/brands. And even in the US, Borde’s biggest market by far, Lana’s tour sold out in minutes compared to Borde’s, which took at least two or three months to sell out.
Lana struggles for 2 years to go platinum while Lorde goes platinum within 3 months. oh Rosie you’re jealous its so obvious.
Let’s not even get started on Payola Heroine’s worldwide sales. Only 1.9 million after 6 months with one of the biggest hits of 2013, multiple videos, tons of promo spots including the Grammys, kii. Lana did better than that with no US support in that time. 53% of that coming from the US and 75-80% coming from 5 countries, all English-speaking.
Most of the world dropped her after Royals. Team only went top 10 in 7 countries, the US and Canada being the only major ones. Truly the definition of a local basic b****.
choke on a c*** s*** and stfu Lorde owns Lana
I like the update to the blog @TGJ
Hey @MOLLY
Hey c*** @Rosie
lol
At least Rihanna never had to go under the knife to enhance her looks. Lana Del Rey has her surgeon on speed dial.
Why is a Lana stan saying anyone looks like trash?
Hey Samantha, make a post about Cher Lloyd’s new song “Sirens”, it’s pretty deep for her age, and pretty good.
Lana del rey is completely irrelevant and a non factor
Rosie be seated before you really get dragged
poor Rosie getting dragged for dear life.
Slayyyyyyyy
Flop
and how much are you worth? thought so 🙂
I AM YOUR LEADER WAS A CREATIVE VIDEO ALSO!
Rumor has it Kelly Rowland got dropped from Universal! Just wondering how true it it….
I think she looks good.
In reply to the first person, it’s embarrassing? For a 31 year old? How so? Because she decided to let go of all them colorful and out-of-the-way ass wigs? Because she’s not colorful and animated and she’s showing the hip-hop queen people have “forgotten” she was? O. Please, embarrassing is making promises that you can’t keep, promising your fans new work and material but never follow through so you get pregnant at 40 just for a little publicity, in which you STILL DON’T RECEIVE, even with the weight that your a “so-called legend”. THAT’S embarrassing. NOT Being worth $40 million, being the “head” female rap artist in one of the most successful record labels of the decade, selling single after single and hit after hit and working with some musical legends including Madonna, Jay-Z and many other people. Not to mention headlining TWO WORLD TOURS in ONE year as well as being one of the most successful female rappers of ALL-TIME. That indeed is NOT embarrassing.
Furthermore, I love her make up and the looks she’s picking for this video. I love how she looks with her real hair just looking to fabulous. It’s obvious that the video is gonna interpret a cholo and mexicans, because Tyga had his Cholo flow going as well. IDK about Birdman (who’s not needed) and Wayne. This video is gonna be the s***, if none of the verses weren’t…
I am in love with her. Ciara fans should gtfo
I am sorry but who is lana?
The Lana Del Rey influence is real.
Not saying she “invented” the Chola look but I’ve been noticing that Lana’s been bringing some styles/ways into the industry and bigger artists have been taking note.
I like the look on Nicki. I think this era we finally got back that girl we all loved with those mixtapes. Cant wait!
Death, I come back and see you no life f*** trying to “drag” at 3 in the morning. I guess you all have all night to stay up when your Wendy’s shift doesn’t start until 5 PM.
And I’m sorry, we don’t know who Keyshia Cole is in Canada. Please stay in the local b**** club with Lorde instead of trying to come for people who are actually known outside of a few English speaking countries.
