I love Massive Attack. Nicki looked so good in that video, esp. in the green wig bit.

I was thinking about "Massive Attack" just today. It's crazy how that song almost killed Nicki's buzz.

That song had such an effect on everything.

She couldn't shoot the Woohoo video with Xtina because she was working on her album.

She had to pull out of Rihanna's tour to re-think the album.

That use to be my favorite Nicki song now that I remember.

d It was like her ONLY song. I remember everyone was losing their **** cuz it was her "debut" single or w/e, and I was just pissed that it still had a feature on it.

Sean should of never been on that song

Not TOO much on it, though. The chorus wasn't bad.

Ironic, since it was a buzz single.

Pop radio is so agist. They completely ignored all of Madonna's solo singles since 2003. Hung Up is the only exception and it didnt succeed b/c of radio ai.

Her ass was unreal.

lol @ her belt falling @ 2:49

"Massive Attack" was only a buzz single when it didn't chart. Such a classic case.

Which is ridiculous because that is her best song. It doesn't immediately garner your attention because it's so unconventional and weirdly structured. When it does hit you though.

She is amazing.

Massive Attack slayed when it came out

[C/H/A/N/E/L]

I'm sort of living for her with the long green hair in that video, though.

It was actually the lead single for her debut album. It flopped horribly + had a $500K video budget.

Weeks go on, and Urban radio began playing a leaked demo of what would be Your Love. It started getting heavy radio play and Nicki noticed it and was like why are you playing that specific song, because it was literally a year old leaked LQ demo. So she went into the studio and re-mastered YL & put it on iTunes, and it was successful.

Three months later, she then dropped the actual lead single of Pink Friday, which is Right Thru Me.

A lot of people think YL is the lead, but it wasn't. Just like Super Bass, it was an accidental single.

Not even Pop Radio really helped it.
The week it peaked #7, was because it was #1 on Digital. It was #43 on Airplay, and #25 on Pop Airplay -- the rules were just really weird 2005-2007 and digital helped songs a lot more than it should've.

and this was a song that was #1 everywhere worldwide. no wonder she wanted to be european back then lol. she was not down with america for a while. even all her producers were european for a few albums until tim and pharrell w/ hc

BABYMETAL need to make the next Gangnam Style

[iHype.]

The 1st time I saw her was 106 & Park at a friend's house.

She was like "omg watch this part for this Asian/Black rapper, her faces are so funny!". It was the 5 Star Chick Remix.

[C/H/A/N/E/L]

I sort of lowkey stan for her, similar to how I lowkey stan Ke$ha, cuz everything on 'Pink Friday' is perfect except for like 1-2 songs, and the same goes for 'Roman Reloaded'.

But if anyone asks, you didn't hear this at all.

But like, you can never imagine it being successful on Urban radio in 2010.

Now tell those rap bitches that Nicki said this
We got tom-toms over here bigger than a monster!

Impressive thoughts on Jennifer Jason Leigh? She's kind of one of my low-key "faves."

I knew that much. It sort of got dropped after it basically got ignored.

I wasn't big on "Your Love". It was basic, and everyone was all over it, but I wasn't impressed.
