That racism excuse is so annoying. Her video simply wasn't deemed good enough to make the cut...Nicki needs to quit whining, put her big girl panties on, and get over it!

No, not everyone was twerking. And I wasn't even talking about that. I was talking about her styling, her music, the slang in lyrical content. She was basically modelled on Rihanna.
And yes it was exploitation because she didn't have real connection to the culture. It was just something she used. People are very quick to forget that she
initially attempted to rebrand her image on P!nk but nobody was checking for her. Even though she was up to the same over sexualised, latex, breast grabbing shenanigans on VH1 Divas. That's when she went to her last resort, urban.
Notice that now she has everyones attention, she's completely gone back to her country/rock roots. Something she always wanted to do. I bet once it flops she'll go back to urban again. That's what you call exploitation.
