Cause she's not already one of the most successful popstars around right now? Who cares if she gets even more exposure, it's not going to make much of a difference.maddawg IAJI said:

That's your defense? Because she is famous and rich already, that means we should give them more views and publicity which they can then use to make money off of it? Minaj isn't even the one making money off of that video. Most of it goes to the record company who produced it. You wouldn't feed a troll on the forums would you? Then why the fuck would you do the same thing for music trolls like Minaj?
It does make a difference, record companies go where the money is and if they make a decent enough profit off a song like this one, they may be encouraged to make similar ones. You could call bullshit on that, but it happens, as shown by Rebecca Black's publisher Ark Music Factory. If you don't believe me, go visit their youtube page, look through their videos and see for yourself. The numbers encourage them to keep posting that stupid crap, even if they are mostly from people who hate the songs.
Nicki Minaj doesn't effect my life at all. Neither does anyone involved in that video. If they get more money good for them. I couldn't care less.maddawg IAJI said:
I find the song to be strangely infectious. I watch the video three times the first day I saw it. I doubt it would be as interesting without the video, and the idea of writing a song about how stupid a hoe is is kinda dumb to me, but the overall product is interesting to me. I can see why others wouldn't like it. Though I don't listen to her kind of music, I find Nicki Minaj to be a pretty intersting artist, like Lady Gaga without trying so hard and doing a better job of whatever it is she and Lady Gaga are both going for fashion-wise.
It doesn't effect you until your friends (or anyone else near you at the time)start singing the chorus to this bloody song 'in an ironic fashion' every fucking day, like they did with Friday. Unfortunately, not all of us are mature, so, and I think I speak for everyone here who believes their friends stumble into immaturity once in a while when I say, don't encourage the trolls or bad memes.Scentless Apprentice said:

I quite like Niki Minaj. But this songs chorus is genuinely quite annoying, and really ruins whatever appeal the rest of the song had. I think alot of people are missing the point of the song and video. As 'lacktheknack' observed,
It is easy to hate on something, to attack it as much as possible with hyperbolic 'worst ever' comments without positioning the subject in context. This is why so many hate the poetry and literature of old, caliming it to be boring. Just a thought.
But as he went on to criticise, parody doesn't give an excuse to be annoying, especially within contemporary pop music.lacktheknack said:

I really enjoy the way you simply slate something with little to no exposition as to why you hate it so much. Pure hate is a constructive force that should deffinitely be exercised on a message board such as this. Please note: this comment may be brought to you with strong and relatively explicit sarcastic tone.Shawn MacDonald said:
The Escapist isn't an 'obscure gaming forum'. I dislike using such a loaded label which obviously conotes negativity, but you sound like an attempt to parody a hipster when such an assertion is coupled with your already mentioned 'us and them' rhetoric. As for the 'terrible person' comment? Wow. Just wow.Don Savik said:
No, nope, no. There is a strong possability that certain songs of hers are served up through an alternate persona which is loaded with irony. There is an argument as to how valid an expression is, and where and when differing personas come in to play, but again, you are working off of assumptions that ignore context and background information.Qitz said:
And as this hilarious example proves, even with a sense of self-conscious irony, a parody can still miss the mark. I am not saying this is straight up parody, but it is obvious that they are aware of the genre conventions they are playing with in the creation of that monstrosity.anthony87 said:
My honest opinion on dubstep is that it's easy to fuck up. Dubstep is the easiest form of music to create, but one of the most difficult to make it sound good and appealing. I understand your disgust since there are hundreds of thousands of terrible dubstep remixes and mashups. This may surprise you, but there is dubstep where the "drop" is very subtle, and almost quiet and soothing. It takes a monkey to make a dubstep song or mix. It takes a master to make dubstep appealing.Don Savik said:

Or it's possible that they were totally serious and not giving a thought to genre conventions. One of the "dudes" is named Se7en.....SE7EN. While another calls himself "Phat J". I highly doubt that they could even spell "genre conventions" let alone consider them.PleasantKenobi said:
