Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj joined forces a bit back for a little radio banger, “Bottoms Up,” and now, the video has dropped. For the most part, Nicki’s back to her boogywoman eyepopping, while Trigga works the room, trying to get his Tevin Campb.. er.. R. Kel… um.. his grown and sexy on.
We liked the song when it first dropped, and will not waver from our support of Minaj, despite the mixed feeling she gets from underground, middleground and aboveground fans. Recently, we posted a fairly in-depth video interview with Nicki Minaj on Billboard and we think she’s been a pretty decent streak lately, with “Your Love,” and her featured appearances with Drake, Dirty Money and, here, with Trey.
(Yes, we are conveniently ignoring “Ice Cream Man,” and of course, “Massive Attack” because… well.. because)…
And believe me, there are plenty of dope New York-area female MCs on our radar who will be getting way more thorough attention than a quickie post like this. In fact, after you get your guilty hip-pop pleasure on, check out our feature on the Bronx’ Mala Reignz in our feature “A (Picture) Perfect Storm” and you’ll see what we mean.
In any event, catch the Queens Harajuku flaunting her assets in the video for “Bottoms Up” with Trey Songz, below.
