  3. skinnyredchick(NEWORLEANSBOUND)

    ew like what girl with would want to mess with Nicki Minaj?

    Angelina Jolie would be better.

  4. mrsjones

    i love the song and the dancing in the video. It’s real sexy like. Keep the good tracks cumin’ ush and i may be purchasing your album on tuesday

  5. mrsjones

    dang j. dakar, jamie foxx had a very short cameo in the end as well, he’s a bigger celeb than ciara

  6. DAFINESTGRL

    I LOVED THE VIDEO! OK USHER I SEE U MAKIN A COMEBACK!

  7. um....

    didn’t like the video. the main girl looks underage :/ yikes! lol @ minaj’s part. ciara is a video extra now? damn. jamie foxx is randomly put in videos now w/ no purpose.

  8. BEN

    Guess the lesbo scene is “in,” these days. It was primarily used in white culture for a while, but now it is hitting the urban market. Anyway, I like the song, the video is uh……ok. They copied the “Love, Sex, and Magic,” scene, and not that the girls didn’t look hot, it was just surprising that Usher didn’t be original. And the undercover club scene is old, so I wouldn’t nominate this video of the year.

  9. Darius

    Usher’s new album is hot. Way better than that last album.

    This video is kind of lame though and tthat girl looks scared to death of Nicki. She got the “I dropped the soap” look going on.

  10. Khinje

    The beat goes HARD on this track. The Ush and Polow collab finally paid off. I really like this song except for Nicki’s dumb ass verse randomly calling out all the reindeer….LOL

    I agree the female MC is dead and buried. This girl is wack, wack, wack!!!

  11. TeeSoFlyy

    I agree, the lead chick looked VERY young… but Nicki’s wig was actually cute… I’m glad to see her doing something else, even with them damn bangs!!

  12. Tertra114

    “if i’m in your city, i’m signing them tig ol bitties” LOL i’m done nicki is TOO much!!!

  13. JADEN

    The video was hott… yall always got a negative …smh the only thing that should have been different was ciara..ciara should have been a main dancer becuz that chick knows how to move that body like a little freak!

  14. FREQUENCY420

    The white chick looks disinterested like she saying *in a Russian accent* “I wish this bish would get out of my face”.

    This looks like Usher’s last video. FAIL

  15. Mister.bee

    Nicki is my favorite little lesbian. hehe :)

  16. meme

    I dont know. Started off very hype but kinda went down hill from there. Is it me or was alot of scenes deleted…because im sure I saw Nicki in another outfit/scene from the photos. Usher didnt dance much which was kinda good cuz I think he’s kinda played out when it comes to dancing. Overall decent track…average video.

  17. meme

    lol @ the folks hating Nicki. Nicki is doing her damn thing. Perhaps she is the ONLY female rapper that is revelant right now. She understands that this is a very visual world we are living…she is VERY expressive and interesting to watch regardless if her rhymes aren’t as good as Eve. Again this is a visual world, people don’t walk around with walkmans and CD players anymore.

  18. Have Not Thought of a New User Name

    I really wish Niki would just drop an album ( I have no intentions on buying it) but I really would like to know just how many fans she really has. I can’t see why she is famous.

  19. Jashunta

    I’m just happy there is a video to go with this hot song!

  20. MR.GQ

    Da video waz….okay ,but da song defiantly HOT! But why was Nicki Minaj yellin at da girl like dat? She looked like BITCH U BETTA COME WIT ME lol

  21. Kyla

    Woah at Nicki’s part .. never liked her verse or her.
    I’m not rapping along with some girl talking about what she wants to do with/to a girl .. not down with that.

    Overall did not like the video – and the beat is the only thing I like about this song.
    Disappointed because I like the other songs he’s released from his current album.

  22. cherish

    lmao this reminds me too much of ‘love in this club’ and ‘Yeah’ all of Ushers vids are the same sh!t
    Nicki looked a hot friggin ghetto mess with that damn wig, she is so weird

    big ole ghetto booty but that chick was so damn white! lol the lead girl did not match this vid at all! Usher should have danced more, the vid was honestly nothing special but the beat is hot and i liked Nicki’s verse.

  23. ThaTruth

    Song is hard, video is garbage. There has to me more creativity than wearing sunglasses and walking around a club or whatever. All of his videos look the same now.

  24. lil john

    ciara looked to cute she should’ve been the lead girl

  25. DiamondLatrelle

    The song was nice, but the video was cheaply made. Why was the “if you f***king me” part changed to “if you coming with me”, but they kept the 2nd part the same. if they were perfoming the supposed “Clean” version of the song, they should change all of the words in the chorus, not some of them.

  26. datchick

    Hated it!!!

    Usher has lost it he needs to retire…take care of yo kids old n*gga

    The rapper Whore looks like Cruella de Vil and her verse is super ass

    I know this is gonna be the hoodrats anthem

    Could you image your daughters singing this? Sad thing about it most of you could.

  27. Haters...Please take a day off

    Well I love the song, the beat goes hard. I bump this in my car all the time,

    However the video is truly lacking! I honestly don’t know where to start! The intro was long as hell and just weird. The white girls seemed genuinely uncomfortable. Not like she was acting, but really scared of Nicki and her crew.
    I was really expecting Ciara and Usher to have some dance scene or at least some interaction in the video. I figured she would be the girl that Ush was after. What’s the point of having CiCi the video is she ain’t gonna dance!!! Ush didn’t dance to damn near the end of the video! With that hot ass beat they really could have had a mean dance scene. So disappointed!

    Nicki really did have more chemistry in the video with the women than Usher did. I think that Nicki really is a lesbo, I don’t think she’s faking. Hated two toned wig that wig!

    Blink and you would have missed Jamie Foxx! What the hell was his purpose? *sighs*
    Overall I am very disappointed in this video. I still love the song though!

    ^^^^^ DUHHH EVERYONE KNOWS NICKI IS A LESBO….CHECK OUT HER OLD VIDEOS FROM BACK THEN…YOU WILL SEE.
    THAT IS NOTHING NEW.

  29. I'M N THIS THANG

    SMDH WATER DOWN SH!T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VIDEO SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK JUST LIKE GINUWINE WACK AS EVER JUST STOP…. JUST STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!! ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE OMG OVER HERE WTF WAS THAT VIDEO ABOUT?!?!?!? I’M LIKE JD OVER HERE “TALK 2 ME”

  30. Twitter.com/msqueenbabi

    THE VIDEO IS OKAY UP UNTIL NIKKI’S PART WHAT THE HELL WAS THE DIRECTOR THINKING THAT GIRL LOOKED SO UNCOMFORTABLE AND AKWARD THERE WAS NO CHEMISTRY BETWEEN NIKKI AND THE CHICK THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AMBER ROSE OR CIARA TO PLAY THE LEAD BTW USHER LOOKING HELLA SEXY IN THE VIDEO TAMEKA DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE ALL THAT DEUCES

  31. WORDBLAZE

    ALLLL those beautiful black women in the club and THAT’s who Usher is scheming on!??! lmao. NOT! And something about this was so predatory. Or playing off a predatory-mandingo-gon’-pounce-on-and-steal-the-innocence-of-this-virginal-white-girl-thing. maybe if the lilywhite object of his affection (or GHB) seemed more curious and less afraid it wouldn’t feel like some would-be stag film. Nikki didn’t feel like a seductress. more like an enforcer, a hitman, a bouncer or some muscle. just left me feeling grimy. sheesh and yuck.

  32. Sayitloud

    Wow. Minaj again. She was just with Luda!

  33. WORDBLAZE

    and I while i think the track is dope (not the lame ass lyrics) i CANNOT believe Stevie Wonder cleared the $ample of his $ong for this $hyt!

    do they play this is the daytime? i really feel for kids these days….EVERYTHING is telling them ‘here, go out there a f*ck’. Everything is so sex saturated now. Gone are the days of innuendo….or incognegro but respected sexually explicit grown folk music (Betty Davis, Millie Jackson, Prince) who were actually good/provocative storytellers. Now its like EFF here…EFF three way…EFF in an orgy…I EFF better than you….sheesh

    (getting off soapbox :- / )

  34. KMNILES

    At the end of Nikki’s verse when she’s up in ole girls face, I could just imagine her breath smelling like slow oven-roasted garbage.

    SMH Loopers…I don’t know where that came from either (shrugs shoulders). Had to say something negative about fake booty girl. Guess she really is a lesbian after all.

    The video chick ws a dud.

    LOL @ Jamie’s cameo. Did yall here what he said? How random was that.

  35. Andimpretty

    I HEART NICKI MINAJ LOL (LEWINSKY BITCHES) i like this video i like nicki’s hair, “excuse me lil mama you could say that im on duty” lol well nicki come find me (jkjkjk) but i really like the vid usher was looking sexy and it was just kinda fun a freaky….. (two thumbs up)

  36. Ra-Ra

    Like the song and the vdeo. Maybe Usher may come back after all. I see they sampled Stevie Wonder’s Living for the City in this song.

  37. Ra-Ra

    The words of this song are just wrong! LOL. This girl doesn’t fit the video. She does not have a “big ‘ole ghetto booty.”

  38. Hakeem

    Nice video. Ciara look good. Nicki is mess with that two tone hair.

  39. ana

    WHYYYYY WASNT CIARA THE LEAD GIRL AND DANCING????

  40. MISS INFO

    we have a

    fake micheal jackson

    fake janet jackson

    fake lil’ kim

    and jamie foxx is annoying

    next———–>

  41. Sayitloud

    @ 35. WORDBLAZE. Cosign to infinity!

  42. nicki's 2 toned wig

    FAIL x’s 3. i liked the song, but now that I saw the video, i will be deleting this off my ipod. Not everyone likes girl on girl. stop forcing it on people.
    Ciara-go drop a decent album.
    Nicki-No on the Oreo/Salt n Pepa/Zebra wig
    Usher-Your new album has leaked already. Its better than the last, but not Confessions. Why did you put Nicole from ANTM in your video. she looked like she was about to get raped.
    Tameka, come get your baby daddy.

  43. LUVS IT

    Like the song and vid might have to get Usher on Tuesday………but who told Nicki that she should borrow Cruella Deville’s wig? Not feeling her look in this video at all but im sure some unsuspecting girl will get suckered into that hair by her ghetto doing hair in the kitchen friend…….lmao

  44. amilliondaze

    that poor little white girl looks terrified at the beginning.

  45. divainva

    Usher can’t dance for shit anymore and what’s with the obsession of white women in videos lately ? No words for Nicki and her fuckery.

  46. dcvv

    Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site- A_ge_m_in_g l e @ c//o//m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

  47. atfffa

    id rather he not have danced at all the do a ol half way job like that..not from u ursh…not from you

  48. LULU

    What was Jamie Foxx in the video? I like the song, can’t put my finger on the sample, but I don’t know. I think Nicki Minaj’s rap was not sensual/playful as it should’ve been to go with the song.

  49. SpeaKin TrUth

    Yeah I think he could’ve did better with this video….how you looking for a big ol ghetto booty,…but you all up on this frail, scared looking white chick? They couldn’t have found a better chick than that? I did like the girl in the beggining that was dancing on Usher with the red tights on now that was sexy…but everything else. FAIL! Should’ve had Ciara dancing, not rolling dice…I like the song, but the video just wasn’t what I expected…

  50. in awe

    Usher…I am so disappointed…I mean if the world wasn’t already going to hades in a handbasket you come out with a song called “lil freak”? why is everyone so into threesomes and lesbians these days? someone says we live in a visual world? Look, we all choose the worlds we live in….we don’t have to conform to what “society” wants us to….we have the right to choose (not for long if the government has anything to do with it)…..

    Look, I just turned 28 years old, I have a daughter I can’t even listen to the radio without having to change every other song….i have to make cds that are appropriate….usher has kids I know they don’t listen to that crap….these kids growing up fast enough..remember it used to be taboo to be a teenager and pregnant…now it’s commonplace…remember when we could watch the news when we was younger….my daughter’s teacher was on the news for sleeping with a student…i mean come on…..

    you never heard of all these child molesters, teacher molesters…we used to joke and say “chester chester child molester”…now, no joke….the worst video was “rump shaker”

    thanks for letting me vent….peoples get to God before it’s too late…these entertainers don’t realize money is the root of all evil… i understand you may have had a hard life finally made it big and got something but in the end that money ain’t gonna be the answer for all this crap you making turning sugar to sh!! as my granny would say r.i.p.

  51. in awe

    oh yeah and why all people care about now is having a big booty? and nicki minaj can’t rap…naming off reindeer??? bun with no sesame seeds?? and what’s up with the dramatical (as my boy flav would say) voice??? the best rhyme I’ve heard her on is the “autobiography” and that was probably only because she was speaking some real stuff….

    I mean really, who sits in the studio telling this chick “oh yeah that was fiyahhhh”….do they pay people to lie to them????

  52. H-TOWN BY WAY OF ROE CITY

    USHER I COULD BE YOUR LIL’ FREAK FOR A NIGHT

  53. Mister.bee

    Why does it seem like every time a female rapper comes
    out she get critiqued harder than men. I love Nicki, she’s hot,
    she can perform, and that’s that. umm kay. :) lol

  54. D

    What a useless waste for someone like Ciara to be on camera gambling instead of getting it in.

  55. JUDAH

    Jamie Foxx is in the video because the video is about the celebrity sex clubs that all of these celebrities partake in. He’s allegedly into bestiality and all other types of sexual perversion. This creature, Nicki Minaj, is clearly being used to guide these black females into even more severe levels of stupidity, whoredom, and self-degradation……if that’s possible at this point.

    @Lulu

    The sample sounds like it came from one of the songs off of the “Jungle Fever” soundtrack by Stevie Wonder.

  56. DatBytch

    yea,whatever. Why is Usher promoting lesbianism? Shame on you Usher. He likes lezzies, I guess this is what he has to do to sell records, still probably wont sell. Devil music.

  57. Smonty

    i don’t think anyone is “judging” her harder then any man who raps. but i honesty Mister Bee…reindeer, lol!!!! now you know, lmao!!!! i’m laughing too hard i cannot say anthing else, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where was Rudolph? c’mon son!!!!!!

  58. disco ball

    … WHAT? I’m confused.
    what was the point in that.?

    LAAAAAAMMMME.
    dark for no reason .. ughhh
    love the song though .
    Nicki of course looked amazing
