Judge Not & Other Minaj-enon



type in "nicki minaj lapdance" on youtube...there are A LOT of DIFFERENT ones...#justsayin (not really). To be fair, iiAlso searched "Janet Jackson Lap Dance". Results were quite lower (read: none), but iiKnow she had some super sexy routines on the Velvet Rope tour. iiWas thinking this is because in JJ's heyday, youtube & cameraphones weren't as popular & theaters were more strict about filming concerts.


iiUnderstand the lapdance as a part of Nicki's stageshow, and her bringing celebrities up on stage to spice up the act, but the sheer volume and variety of lapdance videos is undeniable. Something tells me that even JJ's dances were a bit more creative and done while actually singing the damn song. Seeing all the different videos lined up like that, part of me says 'this is not a good look for Nicki'.



And then there is the other part of me...Although iiAm watching the same lap dance routine being performed over and over on a separate individual in each video (yes, each video)...iiCan't. Look. Away.


iiM not the slightest bit caught up about her making no attempt to perform the actual lyrics to the song. iiDon't give a fuck that she has the microphone hanging carelessly by her side as she dances. When the booty pop begins, all judgement leaves my element. And of course it does. To remain in judgment of Nicki, iiWould also have to judge myself...iiM human, iiDon't like to judge myself (or be judged by others), especially not with the same harsh ruler iiWould Judge another with...it makes poking fun a lot less, well, fun...

...Such is the human predicament...
