For someone who usually surprises, Minaj only disappoints here. Where the 'Stupid Hoe' video is a no-holds-barred blast on Lil Kim and contemporary women in pop, 'Beez in the Trap' sees Minaj playing into all of hip-hop's worst female stereotypes: Woman rapping on a pedestal, woman rapping in the club, woman standing next to dude as he raps about her body. For a musician now known by her shock factor - especially her fashion, projects and stage presence - she lets even herself down in the video. In the video, Minaj plays it all too safe. Dare we say it? For the first time in her video career, Nicki Minaj has become boring. It's one of the least interesting offerings by one of music's most interesting performers.

However, her hype video for the new album cut, 'Beez in the Trap,' featuring 2 Chainz, does little to show off her creativity and genre-hopping skills otherwise in abundance on Roman Reloaded.

For barely a week now, Minaj managed to prove the latter: When Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded dropped last week, Minaj no longer had anything to prove she released a strong collection of songs under a new genre hybrid, dance hip-pop. Haters have argued that she can't rap her 'Barbz' have argued that she redefined the genre. We must learn to take Nicki Minaj with a grain of salt. Nicki Minajs new music keeps pouring onto the web.
