Taylor Swift’s White Privilege Leads to Bad Blood on Twitter with Nicki Minaj
KQED Arts ^ | July 22, 2015 | Emmanuel Hapsis

Posted on 07/23/2015 1:45:57 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

The VMA nominations were announced this week. Who cares? you might be thinking. MTV doesn’t even play music videos anymore. Both valid points, but the awards still mean something to the artists. This became clear when Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to voice her confusion over “Anaconda” not being nominated for Video of the Year, despite breaking YouTube records and causing an international stir.

NICKI MINAJ ✔ ‎@NICKIMINAJ If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Taylor Swift ✔ ‎@taylorswift13 @NICKIMINAJ I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..

Tay made a little boo boo and apologized. With all the good she does, it is forgivable.

Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to voice her confusion over “Anaconda” not being nominated for Video of the Year

"Anaconda" is built around a sample of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back," which in turn samples Channel One's "Technocolor." So it's doubly derivative.

Not to mention that Nicki "Stupid Hoe" Minaj is one of the most annoyingly mush-mouthed "rappers" I have ever heard. On those rare occasions where I'm forced to sit through one of her "songs," I swear there are times when I can't make out a single word.

The part where she says “Stupid how” was especially good.

Brava! Encore!

HOLY CRAP IT IS!

I thought Bad Blood seemed familiar.

I was under the impression that that Swift video was a mockery of movies
or other artists, remix, or something like that. Clearly the Fifth Element
is in there with the white outfit and all.

All this hoopla over stealing or copying is, yea right,
because it was meant to be that way.

Anybody pissed off over this should go after "Weird Al" Yankovic.
And if they do, Weird Al will have his next Vid written for him.

Oh I’m not pissed. I could care less about Swift one way or the other. I’m not a fan. But to my knowledge this wasnt a weird Al type thing. And if thats actually the case, someone, writer/producer most likely, is in deep trouble for not securing the rights and Swift will be forking out cash.

I thought parodies were protected from that. There's several movies scenes
in her Video.

Doh, I never assumed you were pissed. Sorry, I was referring to
those artists and media types attacking her.

I don’t think there is any copyright infringement, but have so many elements almost directly lifted from another video has to at least be a little embarrassing

If that other artist did her version of other versions, then who is copying.
The Video was about movies and other videos and it just seems like bloviating
to accuse Somebody else of doing what they did to begin with.

The stories are totally different, but there are 5 or 6 things that seem to be directly lifted from another video. That has to be a bit embarrassing I would think.

At least lift things from a bunch of places instead of one. lol

I agree. Maybe Swift wanted to do it better and show up the diva since
she clearly has a huge self centered ego.
