10 Most Disliked Music Videos EVER
6. Anaconda - Nicki Minaj
Dislikes: 1.6 Million
Nicki Minaj has one of the most lopsided careers in hip hop today. Though her verse on Kanye West's "Monster" showed us everything we needed to know about her badass persona, her proper studio albums were generally hit and miss between creative concepts and annoying loops for minutes on end. Every artist has rough patches in their career, but "Anaconda" was the few Nicki Minaj tunes that drew a definitive line in the sand amongst fans.
From the obvious double entendres to the lazy sample from Sir Mix-A Lot's "Baby Got Back," a lot of this track seems like Nicki on autopilot, as she tries to play up the sex jam angle of the track. At the same time, the actual song is not really hitting the mark for sexual, but instead goes too far the other way to sound almost lethargic. For as energetic as Nicki could get (especially in her Roman persona), this track sounds like she's trying to sell a sex jam while being hungover from the previous night.
It also gets a lot weirder once the video emerged, with the jungle atmosphere not really gelling with the rest of the song's appeal. There are still plenty of Nicki fans willing to defend this song, but in terms of raw power, this is one of the most half-baked singles she has ever put out.
