it's definitely not solely streaming purposes, if it was she would have uploaded the video to her vevo.

So why would she do two lyric videos? One for her account & one possibly for Vevo?

I think this is likely. The one on her new channel can be used to promote it. And a better less campy one can be used on her vevo. I'm hoping this is the case atleast

The second lyric video is really uneccessary. I hope she will be "Nicki" and not release it. Or she should release it this monday, then release the official video next monday (cause Problem will be released on friday).

It, it, it, it
It ain't your spit game, it's your dick game
That got me walkin' round ready to wear your big chain
I only argue with him when the Lakers on
Other than that I'm gettin' my Marc Jacobs on
MAN, MY ***** GAME SO COLD THAT HE ALWAYS SEEM TO COME BACK
CAUSE HE KNOW THAT IT BE A RAP, WHEN I'M RIDIN' IT FROM THE BACK
WAIT OH LET ME SEE YOUR PHONE, CAUSE ALL THEM BITCHES IS RATCHET
DON'T LET ME GET IN MY TRUCK, CAUSE ALL THEM BITCHES WILL CATCH IT
Wait, damn, there I go again
I be trippin', I be flippin', I be so belligerent
Man the **** that we be fighting over so irrelevant
I don't even remember, though I was probably hella bent

It's not a good streaming strategy at all because it skews the views it would have got on Vevo. Also Billboard picks and chooses what it feels to count towards streaming.
Biggest and most relevant example: LAN's unofficial youtube stream which none counted towards Billboard even though they should have and they had no reason not to count a 10+ million stream.
Bottom line, she's shooting herself in the foot with two lyric videos.

Arguably, though, the reason they didn't count it was because it didn't have a proper release. Has there been a song that has had 0 sales, 0 radio airplay, and had 10 or so million streams and charted on the Hot 100?
Even if Billboard is "choosy", they'll more than likely go with the one that is uploaded to the official VEVO account and the title of the Youtube video isn't really going to attract all that many viewers.

I think the LAN thingy was because the song wasn't released on iTunes, so it couldn't have been "bought" in any way.
But then again, the "FIRST KISS" song peaked into the top 10 and I don't remember it being on iTunes, so I may be wrong.
EDIT: Aatthew beat me to it.

Tbh I think Nicki and Rih should do a more urban song together rather than something like Fly. Not that I'm saying Rihanna isn't the queen of hooks, but another I'm Legit, Pour It Up or Phresh Out The Runway would be >>>>
Love it then come and get it
I know that ya ****in' with it
Ya see me ya like it huh
Heels Givenchy huh
Love it then play it back
Plus where the 40 at
I'm ****ing ya cheap trill
On top of my 50 mill
He eating the cake killa
He on it but don't kill her
My jewelers are diamond rollers
My rock chinchilla
Some more for the fun
I'm rolling like rock stars
I got 50 mutha****ers in my watch
With my bentz down

Except it's better.

Barely anyone in this thread talks about the quality of the song  I think it's better than anything on the re-up and quite a bit of Pink Friday. I just personally love the concept of the song.

I love the direction she is taking, her most mature ballad to date.
The one thing I don't like about the song is that I think it could have used fuller production toward the end and that the bridge could be better.

Like it starts off quite and melodic, then the powerful "I Still Love" part, then the rap. It's such a good format and works excellently. I really don't get how people can call it generic.

If this album is going to be similar to the sound of "Pink Friday", I'm so ready.
My favorite album to date... it definitely was a perfect balance of the two sides of Nicki.
Ayo, they could never make me hate you
Even though what you was doin’ wasn’t tasteful
Even though you out here lookin’ so ungrateful
I'mma keep it movin’ be classy and graceful
I told 'em it’s no friends in the game, you ain’t learned that yet
All the bridges you came over, don’t burn that yet
****** want respect, but ****** ain't earned that yet
Self-righteous and entitled but they swearin' on the Bible that they love you
When really they no different from all your rivals
But I still don’t wish death on ‘em
I just reflect on 'em

I like the concept of the song, but am not a fan of the execution. The ballad-style songs on Pink Friday were a lot better. Pills n Potions is too scaled back production wise for me.
Its a shame she didnt release the material on the Re Up as her second album. It was so much better than Roman Reloaded. I mean Im Legit+High School+ Freedom+Hell Yeah>>>>>most of Roman Reloaded

Two words, Harlem Shake.

This should of had 'Starships' type of promotion: A radio deal, big banner on iTunes and promo performances already lined up. I would expect this type of release to be for a 2nd single
