Seven a.m., waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein' everything, the time is goin'
Tickin' on and on, everybody's rushin'
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)

Kickin' in the front seat
Sittin' in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend


this song is about a woman doings things by herself like a strong powerful feminist. making her own choices while society is pressuring her to be fresh and have a bowl.

The reactions were hilarious. On the flip side, they made a lot of great points that I agree with.

So you honestly think Nicki saying she gets her man to buy her Balmain makes her a feminist? If a 5-year-old gets their parents to buy him a firetruck, does that make him empowered?

I always thought feminism was about equality (on one end) and about telling men that women weren't just sexual objects. How exactly does Anaconda fit into either argument?

I was more referring to the use of "make him".

Feminism is about equality.
Economically (equal pay, etc) and Socially (women treated as equals in society).

I do think Nicki should have explained the message more for Anaconda because the GP just can't see it.

At the end of the day what is needed is education about equality at home and in schools.

And no I don't think "Nicki saying she gets her man to buy her Balmain makes her a feminist", she's a feminist because she believes in the social and economic equality of the sexes.

There aren't male empowerment songs/videos because there is no need.

Men have always been empowered.

If women were religiously
Recognized sexually
We wouldn't have to feel the need to show our ass,
It's to feel free
Been there, done that
Got the t-shirt
Sold my soul
And yeah the truth hurts
Tired image of a star
Acting naughtier than we really are

If history could set you free (from who you were supposed to be)
If sex in our society (didn't tell a guy who he should be)
'Cause all my life I've tried to fight what history has given me

Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex
Yeah
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex

~ Marina & The Diamonds - Sex Yeah

Compare the lyrics of Anaconda to those of Sex Yeah though

I'm not comparing them, i'm using them to evidence my point.


I don't think Anaconda is the epitome of feminist music, it's not.
It's a fun song that has a feminist message.

Just because Nicki said it was?



in no way, music video or lyrical content, does Anaconda show its feminist "message".


What kind of delusion

The song is a feminist song.

It takes a sexist song (Baby Got Back) and turns it into a female empowerment anthem.

The language choices in the song were deliberate.


I let him hit it 'cause he slang Cocaine
He toss my salad like his name Romaine
And when we done, I make him buy me Balmain
Let him eat it with his grills,


Obviously the rant at the end was just a bit of fun, referring to how the media portrays skinny girls. Because people love to hate Nicki, they bring this up to discredit the song yet not so much with All About That Bass.

Whilst the single cover and video was intended to cause controversy, it was intended to make a discussion.

The song is showing that it's ok to be sexy, that it's ok to be a sexual being.

Are men ever criticized for showing too much skin? No.
Do people ever say men showing of their bodies are telling young girls that rape is OK? No.

Feminism = Equality

Educate them.

Mess. When she put out Pills N Potions nobody was praising her for not being sexual. But now with Anaconda people are slandering her and saying she shouldn't be sexual.

People love to be negative.

Clock them.

I'm so glad they did this. Once I saw it in my subscription box, I raaaan to it so quickly. They definitely didn't disappoint in their reactions.

I agree with them. Every generation just objectifies women more and more, and now people are saying this objectification = feminism

Women are objectified by objectifiers. Nicki feeling herself and showing off her assets does not mean she's objectifying herself. It opens the door for objectifiers but that's not her fault. It's everyone else's fault that they have such a sick ****ing mind. People objectified her. It's more telling that people like you immediately objectify her by calling her an object of sexuality when she is simply expressing herself.

When I saw the video, I saw a woman with confidence and a nice ass slaying some cute choreography. I did not for once look at her as nothing more than a sex object. I saw her for what she was trying to convey. It's all about perspective. I don't have a close-minded, sexist mindset therefore this was not antifeminist to me and it shouldn't be to anyone else either.

And not that old Asian man saying this is what's wrong with kids these days and then praising her for a nice ass. Sexism and hypocrisy bold and bright.

[Neonika]

"did these two get an oscar for this"

[Gazing Ball]

Another day, another pair of (probably men) squabbling over the exact way to be a feminist and its definitions.

A messT.

[Roman Holiday]

OMG, every single one of you is taking this silly song too damn seriously.



Anyways, of course old people will react like this. Different generation.

[Istan4R]

They didn't lie

[SlayingOnTheEarth]

The old Asian guy is more gratiteous than the video imo

"A big dick wants a big ass right?"



Future Miranda from SATC needs to chill out too. She was pressed. The video slays. People stay mad.
