Nicki Minaj & Drake Are Waiting For A “Moment 4 Life” (Video Breakdown)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 01/28/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Drake, Videos, Nicki Minaj, Video Breakdown

Nicki Minaj and Drake stans (you know who you are) were in for quite a treat last night (January 27) when MTV debuted the music video for Nicki Minaj and Drake’s “Moment 4 Life.” But if you expect to see women in skimpy clothing or fast cars then think again because for this video Nicki and Drake decided to go for a fairy tale theme. We of course couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to breakdown one of the week's most talked about videos.

0:00 – I’ve got soo much sarcasm brewing for this video…Bring. It. On.

0:07 – I REALLY hope they aren’t going for the whole Hip Hop fairy tale theme.

0:23 – Has anyone else found themselves extremely irritated by Nicki Minaj’s horrible accents?

1:04 – What’s that on her head? A bejeweled spider?

1:20 – I’m really confused and disturbed by this scene. Who’s Martha? Why is fairy godmother Minaj making the “I’m constipated” face?

2:06 – Who walks into a party cheesing like that?

2:57 – Why does it sound like Rihanna is singing the hook?

3:32 – It’s funny how Nicki’s rocking this fairy-tale inspired dress and Drake looks like the local drug dealer.

4:10 - “You and all them white girls, Party Of Five.” So clever Drake, so clever.

4:25 – Drake, please stop with the super aggressive gestures and facial expressions. You’re not fooling anyone. Soft like Charmins.

4:36 – Anyone know where this mansion in the video’s located? Really, really thinking about booking it for the next b-day. swag swag swag mixxie mixxie mixxie

5:00 – Married already? They really don’t give these relationship time to grow when it comes to fairy tales.

5:23 – Please don’t kiss each other, gross.

The intro to this absolutely kills me. Who decided it was a good idea to have Nicki talk to herself for a full minute?

thank you nathan, i could only imagine the brain storming session
"Nicki what do you think we should do for the opening?"
"I think i should talk to mt fairy Godmother."
"Perfect we love it, who will play her?"
"Me!"
"..."

also is it just me but i feel when she talks all soft and nice in the beginning and then goes into her "hard" version of rap it doesnt fit her body language, like it doesnt change?

@Set_Gecko why is it so wrong to hate dumb shit? (such as this dumb ass video.)

@SmokinAces It's not wrong to hate dumb shit, I just felt that the video's awfulness is a little overhyped in the article.

Lol! Come on guys, I definitely don't "hate" Nicki. Like SmokinAces said why can't I not like dumb shit. The video was corny. It is what it is.

I feel like the Avatar sometimes. I love to dance, but I gotta little nerd in me! Why? smile

I'm now fortunate enough to listen to I believe it is German/French rap from Jazzamor (featuring the fabulous Publique.)
Strangely, it's not Nicki.
Oh, and about Ms. N. . . I think that secretly she's just a librarian from Queens that has now FINALLY come out of her shell! I joke. But, seriously -- if someone comes off that freaky and humorously funny (redundant--my bad), she's gotta have a quiet, gentle interior. wink Sort of like chocolate, filled with a strawberry puree interior. Sure wears the crazy colors, though, right?!
Don't be haters just because the video is:
1) pointless AND 2) beautifully rendered; who cares! :0 Pleasant song. It's soothin' on a Jesus mornin' y'all. [Insert in the blank any other religious top figure from any OTHER faith you choose, in place of the big "J". wink]

^ Shout out to newcomer BabyGotBack - I'll be honest, I don't really know what he's saying, but it's entertaining trying to figure it out.
