Now I know someone is definelty gonna hate on me for saying this stuff, but Nicki Minaj's Anaconda is a landmark music video of the mid-2010s. The video, based on Minaj's hit sample of "Baby got Back", proves to be quite the mini-movie as it showcases impressive transitions and filming techniques that will immediately transport the viewer to the jungle setting of the video. This was coming from a time where Nicki was stating she would move away from the pop-rap direction of Super Bass and Starships in favor of more traditional hip-hop, and it certainly shows as the song exemplifies several characteristics of hip-hop such as it's use of sampling and the lyrical content, made fresh by Nicki's unique flow.
In conclusion while certainly not for the family, is still a must watch for music enthusiasts everywhere.
