Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe (Worst song ever?)

[scw55]

No, this is:

Although that song is god awful. But TBF it kinda sounds like she's taking the piss.

Yes I still vote for Swagger Jagger as the worst song of all time. I can't be the only one who think it sounds like a remixed nursery rhyme.

Yep. Anything that involves the word "Swag" is alone enough to warrant a vote for "Worst XYZ of all time".

On Topic: What did I just listen to?

I was in the gym the other day, and the music channel was on, and it was a "Best Girls of the 00's" or something program, and almost every single singer sounded the same; with maybe the exception of Lady Gaga, who's voice is slightly unique in comparison to some of these others'.

Can I guide you gently towards Marina and the Diamonds? She's a Pop Singer/Songwriter with a voice with a combination of Bjork and a Rock Warbler. Good and distinct. But yeah, it's sad when the majority of singers are essentially impressionists. Thier common theme of 'Be yourselves' is ironic when they themselves are trying to imitate other classic pop singers and their fans follow them like blind sheep. Even some Lady Gaga fans contradict the 'Be yourself' movement by trying to 'dress like Lady Gaga'. Living in someone's shadow is not yourself. Tangents are fun.

*edit* that still from that youtube clip looks like Cher had something unexpected placed somewhere =)

Problem with Cher Lloyd is that the song is very angry and the anger feels like it's directed at the listener who is 90% of the time first hearing this doesn't know who she is so is insulted without doing anything. Secondly she comes across as very egotistical yet 90% of Britain wouldn't know who she was when they first hear the song so probably think "Piss off you angry Teen". So the song basically incites anger towards her, and then she has the cheek to say 'Trolls B Hatin'. It's like a woman accusing a man of rape despite being the one doing the seducing (an extreme analogy. No offence was intended).

I Got a Feeling is still far worse imo, as is the entire genre of black metal. At least this song is only figuratively painful.

I don't like dubstep either (which seems to have become a discussion), but from what I've heard it's usually just endlessly repetitive, wubwubwub or not.

Those are my two favorite genres. ;_;

In all honesty they have more artistic merit than people give them credit for.

Maybe so, but I've disloiked everything I've heard from either one. Not saying it doesn't have artistic value, I just don't like it. For the record, I've had people try to get me interested in both, so I've heard a fair few songs which were are apparantly good but I did not like.

Fair enough. I just tire of people constantly bashing music they don't like instead of just leaving it be for others to enjoy.

I agree. I get a lot of crap from people because I tend to listen to a fairly wide range of music.

 

[vrbtny]

I believe the expression "Burn it with fire" comes to mind.

 

[hazabaza1]

Hey, it's still better than Dubstep. That's always a plus.

 

[TheTim]

I havnt heard it...yet

I will say though I kind of like Nicki Minaj...

Thats what i thought before i listened to this song. My ears are dead.

 

[scw55]

Safe to say every Genre has bad musical contributions to it. I can't think of a single genre of music where I liked every song. One bad song doesn't represent the whole genre.

You might not realise but there's actually good Death Metal songs.

 

[Bobic]

Worst song ever? No. That completely subjective and not worth discussing. Also, saying something is the "____ ever" makes you sounds like a particularly unimaginative Cracked.com article/video.

Baffled? Definitely not. Pop music always has and likely always will be about easily digestible, simple, popular, and oft repeated tracks. This is no different, if not worse than usual.

Did you actually listen to the song or is that just your pre-programmed response to someone complaining about pop music.

This song isn't a standard pop song and isn't all that 'easily digestible'.

OT: Well, it stands out, I'll give it that. It's sort of a bizarre hip hop/pop hybrid. But no, I think it's quite terrible. I find it quite jarring and grating. And no, guy I quoted, I'm not biased against pop music, I love Lady Gaga and snippets of other popular musicians, I just find this to be quite lacking in the musical part of music.

No this is.


Though I have to agree, that Nicki Manaj song is terrible even though I have enjoyed some of her stuff before.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Meh, if its a bad song, don't listen to it. All you're doing here is promoting it and making a bad song into something extremely profitable.

 

[Gunner 51]

Jedward? Now that's just sadistic to release upon this forum.
Though I always thought Blazin' Squad, Craig David and Ke$ha were pretty awful, too.

But I think the worst of the worst has to be the Spice Girls (Spice Ghouls as I call them) with Wannabe. That song makes me want to bang my head against a brick wall. Youtube it at your own risk, for I shall not take any responsibility for suicide, depression, PTSD, vomiting and murderous acts of violence.

 

[Qitz]

Worst video? Are you nuts? That's fucking hilarious. Best Satire video since Weird Al himself.

Wait....What? No, that can't be right.

This Just In!

Sources tell me that this video was indeed a real video.

Hmm. Still funny.

Now excuse me while I watch something that's both odd and a great song.

Spoiler: Xmas? I don't know such a thing

 

[ChaoticKraus]

People rambling about this song being an example of how shitty pop/rap is has clearly not listened to it. This shit is unique in its weirdness.

OT: I have absolutely no idea what to think of this. It doesn't inspire any hate, but i sure as hell dont like it. It just leaves me confused, my brain goes "No, i'm not doing this. Figure it out yourself." and switches off. It reminds me of the PonPonPon video in that i have no fucking clur whats going on, but in this case its just as weird musically and visually. Nicki Minaj somehow still manages to be hot as hell.

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.

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.

 

[mrblakemiller]

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.

This is how an Arrow in the Knee got started people!

Holy shit. That is some horrible... everything. I mean she actually fails at everything possible in a music video. Every fucking thing. Now, I could only stand a few seconds and I don't plan on buying a new monitor, but holy shit! What the hell is up with the pants, they look like granny jammies. The only thing I can guess "swagger" "has to do with in that video is that she can't walk properly in those weird, mis-fitting pants.

Anyway, isn't Nicki Minaj on Lil Wayne's label? Thereyago "heh heh."

*EDIT* I love how so many people are jumping to defend her in the Youtube comments. Seriously, if this is the music you love and must defend with your precious youtube presence then you probably also watch Jersey Shore and think MTV is actually Music Television.

Oh, and fun fact; this went straight to number 1 in the UK. And you think America has problems! Ha!

And it rips off the melody for Oh My Darling Clementine.
