Nicki Manaj released her new video Anaconda which may be about a man’s penis — although there are no reports to confirm this yet. Within 24 hours the video has had more than 15-million views on social media site YouTube. In the video, Manaj and a bevy of women in tiny shorts hump the air and wriggle and writhe and glide and slide all in an effort to show off how bouncy their bottoms are amidst a variety of phallic imagery, including of course an anaconda snake.
Critics have said that the video sets back women 100 years.
That it sets back black women 500 years.
That it promotes racial stereotyping, is unattractive, poorly performed, badly sung, ridiculously overproduced, horribly auto-tuned and terribly lip-synced — and that was just in the press release from her label.
However, two groups of fans of Minaj have defended her work — boys between the ages of 15 and 19, for instance, have been extremely hard…on her critics, calling them “douches” and “gay.” When we tried to reach one teenage boy for comment we were told “GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY ROOM! GET OUT! GET OUUUUT!!!”
Her other supporters seem to be slutty girls, most of which explain “You judgmental haters gon hate.”

lyrics, the rest of it being co-opted (er, “sampled”) from Sir Mix a Lot — the rapper himself is given no credit whatsoever, nor even a cameo. Some of those few original lyrics go as follows, “Fuck the skinny bitches, fuck the skinny bitches in the cluh [sic], I wanna see all the big fat ass bitches in the motherfucking club. Fuck you skinny bitches.”
Upon reflection, Manaj’s next single will be called “It’s been pointed out to me that I have anger issues, and I am clearly overcompensating for a poor self-body image. Sorry, everyone. Fuck the buh…Fuck Fuck.”
We at Z!TV look forward to its release.
