Videos-Nicki Minaj (Anaconda) or Taylor Swift (Shake It Off)?
I find both videos are very offensive in nature. Nowadays all singers are going too far to get publicity. Let us checkout why Taylor Swift videos-
Earl Sweatshirt slammed Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" Video as Offensive.
Yikes! Taylor Swift is already seeing major success with the release of her new single and music video "Shake It Off," but one person who is not a fan of the song's visuals is rapper Earl Sweatshirt. The hip-hop artist from the Odd Future group, 20, took to Twitter on Monday night, Aug. 18, after Swift debuted the single and video during a much-watched Yahoo!
Livestream event. "Haven't watched the Taylor Swift video and I don't need to watch it to tell you that it's inherently offensive and ultimately harmful," Sweatshirt wrote. "Perpetuating black stereotypes to the same demographic of white
girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture." "For instance, those of you who are afraid of black people but love that in 2014 it's ok for you to be trill or twerk or say n---a," the rapper continued.

While "Shake It Off" is already at No. 1 on iTunes less than 24 hours after it debuted, Swift, 24, raised some eyebrows with the single's accompanying video. In the clip, she is trying on various costumes and outfits, including a ballerina getup, a Lady Gaga-esque avant garde look, and at one point, gyrating while wearing a pair of skimpy cutoff jean shorts, knee pads, high-top white tennis shoes, a cropped leopard print jacket, and gold hoop earrings and layered chain necklaces. She is backed by six dancers of different ethnicities, who shake behind her. As the dancers bend over, she crawls underneath them, checking out their twerking backsides.
Nicki Minaj Drops Wild New "Anaconda" Music Video with Drake
Nicki Minaj just put the hump in hump day. The rapper, 31, put her best assets on full display when she released her wild new NSFW "Anaconda" music video at midnight on Wednesday, Aug. 20. The single takes inspiration from Sir Mix-a-Lot's 1992 classic "Baby Got Back," specifically riffing off of his line, "My anaconda don't want none / Unless you've got buns, hun." Minaj echoed the booty theme in the lyrics to "Anaconda" — and in a big, big way in the new music video.
The raunchy clip opens with a shot of a scantily clad Minaj in the jungle, surrounded by buxom women. Footage of booty-shaking then kicks off the video over the original audio of Sir Mix-a-Lot rapping Sir Mix-a-Lot, 51, recently called the sample "good stuff," adding to VladTV that the "Anaconda" video is the "new and improved version" of his own "Baby Got Back" video
While Mix's video was famously full of backsides, Minaj stepped up to the challenge, offering nearly five minutes of twerking goodness. Minaj's dance partners in the "Anaconda" video are largely women, but she mixes it up toward the end of the clip when Drake enters a scene to receive a lap dance from the female rapper. "Anaconda" is the latest cut off of Minaj's upcoming third album The Pinkprint. The project was led by the track "Pills n Potions" and is expected to hit stores later this year. Sonically I think the album sounds so amazing," Minaj told 97.1 AMP Radio of The Pink Print. "There are so many surprises on the album. I had Drake come by the studio the other day and he was like 'Oh my god, you're talking about new stuff, I'm so proud of you.' And that's what I'm most excited about. I'm speaking about new things on this album. I'm excited I'm not allowing anyone else to define what the album is going to be."
