The internet exploded last night. Did you feel the quake? Did you look to the heavens and wonder if angels or asteroids had crashed through the atmosphere and landed outside of your door? I know you felt it.
How could you not feel the aftershocks of the “Feeling Myself” video? Yes, I’m unabashedly, healthily obsessed with Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé. I know I’m not alone. I know I’m not the only one who’s had this song on repeat since the PinkPrint dropped. It sits right in between “Get On Your Knees” and “Only,” Nicki’s mega hit with Wayne and Drake. Nicki’s flow is slick, confident, dripping with everything that makes her the Untouchable Queen of Rap.
Bitches ain’t got punchlines or flow. I have both and an empire also.
It’s that heavy bass thump, the snare, the simple whistling sample in the background and some well placed snaps that get you going. And then Nicki just drops bars as Beyoncé stops the world and the world fucking stops. “Feeling Myself” was fire before the video dropped. Shit now, now, the earth is aflame for the Nicki/Bey friendship canon.
Everything works. It’s another simple video, like Bey’s 7/11; just some gorgeous friends hanging out in ridiculous fly gear, bamboo earrings on 1000, attitude on deck, and “Oh my god, don’t you wanna ride with us” type of video.
I’m with it. All day shipping. Can Nicki & Bey be in the next Mad Max movie cuz then I’d literally explode and it’d be the happiest day of my life. And even though I’ve been a vegetarian for two years, I’m fiendin’ for a cheeseburger and fries with a side of Nicki & Bey.
Fun Fact: after seeing this video last night, I came back to autostraddle to look up YOUR old Bey/ Nicki femslash (still one of my all time favorites, by the way. It’s somehow both heart-filled sensitive, and yet also steamy sexy ).
So I appreciate that you’re the one to drop this video on AS today :)
ahhh! that fanfic is a thing. so glad you got a little steamy w it.
Where can i find this.. fanfic?
Taylor Swift who?
Side note: might steal that feeding each other hamburgers move for my wedding ceremony.
“Taylor Swift who?”
EXACTLY.
yes
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Also bitches ain’t got punchlines or flow. I have both and an empire also.
Amen
I have declared this the holy national anthem of masturbation.
Amen
Know where you were when that VIDEO dropped.
I do. I will always remember the exact location and time, as it was the day time stopped and all the slayage came to Slaytown.
You’re NIGERIAN!!! #hEYO!
everything about this makes me say YAAAAASSSSSS queen.
Also, i feel like this has validated me because I took a bucket hat to Coachella and so did Bey, so obvs my fashion levels are on fleek.
I think my favorite thing is just how genuinely happy they look. It’s the best.
Like, the Beyonce/Gaga videos a couple of years ago were fun and all, but Beyonce/Nicki is just waaay better.
So true! Have you ever seen The Key of Awesome parody Of Telephone? They basically say that Beyoncé looks like she was threatened into doing the video LOL (I’m sure she wasn’t)
My heart is asploding with <3 over these two. Can’t handle it.
You could be the King but watch the Queens conquer.
I was just about to type that!!! Still one of th. Best verses in the rap game!
I can barely handle this video. Taylor is lucky she snuck in before them…
Also I WANT ALL THE LIPSTICKS, HOW DO I GET THEM!?! Throw in that Chicago Bulls onesie while we’re at it.
Bey in a NEBRASKA sweatshirt… my home state, hell yes!
It would be perfect without Beyonce. She morphs into whatever the industry wants her to be and it’s a bit vomit worthy.
Nicki remains Boss as usual.
