She began her career in a band called “hoodstars” and they recorded a song for WWE but due to the lack of success they had she then left and began

posting her videos and songs on myspace and sending them to record companies and was then noticed and signed to Dirty money records.

She then appeared on “Yo Gotti’s” music video and then demanded by Jay-Z to be on another music video and then was given a solo verse in the song

“Bed Rock” and then peaked to success after these releasing her own albums.

Nicki Minaj albums

Album coversNicki Minaj’s album covers are all shots of her either long shots or close ups apart from ‘suckafree’ which has two other artists in that she has collaborated with.

The initial shot in the superbass video we have a close up of the artist nicki minaj, she has half pink and half blonde hair with bright yellow eyeshadow on, it then swaps to an ice sculpture which is melting and then nicki minaj then begins to rap and in time with the song lyrics we then get a long shot of a pink ferrari then back to the artist and then a close up of stacks of money and then onto a males body, then champagne and back to another male. All the items being shown in this video are all bright pink aiming the video more at girls and having a bright colour against a white background. It then swaps to another shot of nicki with a male in a suit when she’s in denim shorts and a white top and then to a mid shot of her singing and then a mid-shot of her with a male with his top off and then onto another scene where she is dancing with girls in synchronisation which are all similar looking to her as if there is lots of her in the shot and then swapping to see the bass from the speakers. Then into a shot of her in a bright blue and green bikini in a pink pool with lots of men laid around the pool and one male in the pool with her. It then swaps to the introduction shot where nicki is now on the motorbike ice sculpture. Then back to the girls dancing and then it swaps to a long shot of three men and three women in white but in the dark so the clothes they are wearing are neon. The theme throughout is very outrageous with all the colours that are used with a usual dark or plain background and lots of contrasting colours throughout.
