Starships | Nicki Minaj

… Thank you Baby Jesus in a manger! After countless months of anticipation, Nicki Minaj FINALLY released the video for Starships; the first single released off of her sophomore set Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. In my opinion, it was worth the wait. This video explores every ounce of the vibe given off by the single; from summer fun in the sun to hardcore electric beach party. My favorite part rolls around 2:50, where the clip climaxes as bonfires are set, flaming staffs are twirled, and body paint is tossed about. Nicki parties hard with her flock; jumping up and down, fist pumping, and dancing the night away. There’s no grand story line or deep, hidden meaning. Instead, the Harajuku Barbie simply offers up a good time. The Starships video isn’t exactly rocket science. It’s just fly — exactly how it was meant to be.
