Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …

You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds

You said, “What does it change?

The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:

All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:

I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

Though this song’s video may just appear like soft porn, it has a lot of interpretations. This song takes lines from Sir Mixalot’s “Baby got back” video.
In the beginning of Sir Mixalot’s video, a white girl calls another woman’s ass as “fat,” “out there,” “like a prostitute,” and “so fat.” Then Sir Mixalot goes on to talk about how he loves those big butts and ladies shouldn’t listen to these white people’s magazines about flat butts.
Nicki Minaj takes the lines “My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun” and “little in the middle but she got much back” lines from Mixalot’s song. They reoccur again and again till she’s in the kitchen, trying to fondle the banana, then she cuts it off. Then she gives Drake a boner and doesn’t allow him to touch her ass when he tries to. From these two scenes, she’s trying to say: fuck your anaconda, I’m not here to please you, I’m here cause I love my butt(and my body) and I own it, I rock it.
There’s also the first lines from Sir Mixalot’s video when the white says “omy gosh, look at her butt. it’s just out there….” like the big butt is something unacceptable and ugly. Nicki uses this like “omy gosh look at her butt” frequently in the song and shows her butt. She’s trying to make something regarded as ugly in the old mixalot’s video into something hot and sexy. Look at my butt. It’s awesome. Look at it cause it’s awesome and hot, not cause it’s ugly.
This song has many dislikes on youtube, and many people hate it, but it’s catchy and okay, not bad.
This is what Nicki says about the banana: ““I’m chopping up the banana. Did you realize that?” she finally pointed out, about the video.
“At first I’m being sexual with the banana, and then it’s like, ’Ha-ha, no,‘” she went on to explain. “That was important for us to show in the kitchen scene, because it’s always about the female taking back the power, and if you want to be flirty and funny that’s fine, but always keeping the power and the control in everything.”
So there you have it. A little bit of female empowerment, with the help of a banana.“ [Nicki Minaj Explains Why That Banana In Her ‘Anaconda’ Video Was Very Important]
