NEW #MUSIC VIDEO & ARTIST COLLAB ALERT!! Nicki Minaj ft Chris Brown “Right by my side.”

Honestly, I have heard new music from these two popping up everywhere. Now, they finally combined efforts with this new song.

My thoughts:

On Nicki Minaj

• I am not going to be a hater. Nicki Minaj, despite what she may appear on the outside,is a smart business woman and she knows how to work it. 
• People either love her or hate on her. End point ya’ll people still talkin’ , which leads to $$$ into her barbie doll purse.
• She is good at what she does, to me she has talent, she has presence.
•  This song is good and catchy, don’t lie you know you were mumbling the hook mid-way through the video. 
• Think about it she may not be John Lennon, but in this niche-filled entertainment industry, she is a winner in her given category. 
• To me she’s like a Britney Spears, a performer. She is fun to watch, she’s colorful and will keep your attention, her butt will haunt your sleep for years to come…..and she knows the formula (or at least her producing team) of how to create a catchy song that will get air time.
• She has built a consistant image and brand, and has mastered how to engage her audience to imitate her every move, buy anything she endorses, created a story with her alter egos, and even made up a nickname for her fans to make them feel connected to her.
• She is versatile, she represents fashion, music (the girl can sing, and spit a mean flow….even if isn’t the style that you like…give props when they are due) and even sex…c’mon I even stare at her backside and wonder what the heck did she eat or inject to get it higher than a hot air ballon.

On Chris Brown 

• Not an advocate for any type of abuse. However, that being said I am going to look at Chris Brown objectively based on his talent and his brand.
• He has done the work and has publicly over time, shown resentment. Many companies today that are leaders in their industry has faulted majorly in the past, but cleaned up their act and once again resume business and the masses has forgiven. Why can’t we do the same for this situation?
• Despite his personal life, this kid has got talent. You can’t deny it. He sings, dances, entertains…..so let him continue to do so. As for him being so public with his private life in the past ahem Rhianna, I hope he learned his lesson to be more cautious of his actions and the effects.

The Collaboration

• I like it
• It is catchy
• Um NAS? really?!?!?! hmm I know Nicki and him worked together in the past but having him as featured arm candy …..hmmm thoughts?
• Um her butt and let me say again….her butt.
