Here are some music videos I quite like and some words about them. It's a gimmick.
Here's some music I've been listening to recently.

Mid Morning Music Video #317 - ‘Make Me Proud’ by Drake [feat. Nicki Minaj]
This is very good. Definitely up there on the same plain as ‘Headlines’ for me. Really really looking forward to ‘Take Care’ now. The week of November 14th will be a damned good week, with this and the new Los Campesinos! record coming out. Huzzah!

Mid Morning Music Video #296 - ‘Fly’ by Nicki Minaj [feat. Rihanna]
There’s a lot wrong with releasing what is probably the worst track on ‘Pink Friday’, especially following the success of ‘Super Bass’ (a song which didn’t, crazily, even make the cut for the album. It is surely better than this), but it’s reasonably notable for having a pretty awesome video. Minaj and Rihanna stroll through what would seem to be a post-apocalyptic world. There’s a plane involved, and lots of hair and stuff. At one point Minaj has got leopard print hair. Oh, and there’s some awesome hand-to-hand combat involving Nicki Minaj in there too. It’s not a case of ‘bad song, good video’, more a case of ‘song not as good as her others, good video’.
Mid Morning Music Video #231 - ‘Super Bass’ by Nicki Minaj
The best pop song you will hear this week.

Mid Morning Music Video #195 - ‘Right Thru Me’ by Nicki Minaj [on Saturday Night Live]
‘Yo Nicki, you sure you’re going to make an impact on live telly’
‘Yeah, it’s OK, I’ve packed my big dress’
‘What about your hair?’
‘Hmm…got a plug socket anywhere?’
‘Yup’
‘Sorted’
(Seriously now - Nicki Minaj does the best softer song off of Pink Friday on the telly. It’s pretty much awesome.)
(Note to self: Make this feature less of a Nicki Minaj love in)
Mid Morning Music Video #193 - ‘Moment 4 Life’ by Nicki Minaj ft. Drake
Good song in getting awesome video alert! In which: Nicki Minaj is Cinderella, Drake is Prince Charming, and they get married. BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT Nicki Minaj puts on that totally hilarious English accent of hers to play her own Fairy Godmother, and it’s basically bloody awesome. I really really like this, and the more spins I give it the more I like the Nicki Minaj album (although not ‘Fly’, never ‘Fly’).
Mid Morning Music Video #155 - X Factor Mondays
Oh, what the fuck’s the point? Beatles week is always shit. This week was fucking dire. Here’s something from the new Nicki Minaj record instead.
Mid Morning Music Video #155 - ‘Moment 4 Life’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Drake
This is a song from the new Nicki Minaj record. It is four minutes and thirty nine seconds long. It features Drake. It is absurdly excellent. It is probably not as good as ‘Blazin’ off of ‘Pink Friday’, which absolutely bloody insane and features Kanye West. But it is still bloody absurdly brilliant.
Mid Morning Music Video #139 - ‘Right Thru Me’ by Nicki Minaj
YESSSSSSSSSSSS! FUCKING YES! Amazing. Genuinely amazing. Nicki Minaj will probably be bigger than Gaga ths time next year. Christ, she’ll probably be bigger than Santa Claus. I’m not sure I prefer this to ‘Your Love’ and ‘Massive Attack’, but I’m pretty sure it’s equally as good. That said, the one that features Eminem off the album (there’s a link in this video, but I’m not sure if they come up on Tumblr?) is bloody HUGE and will be a massive hit and could be better than them all. But this is ace, in a mid point between the two previous singles way.
Mid Morning Music Video #121 - ‘Massive Attack’ by Nicki Minaj ft. Sean Garrett
You’ve all seen and heard this, right? Nicki Minaj is going to be the biggest pop star in the world come the end of this year. Start loving, guys.
(It frustrated me that the only videos I can find are censored, lyrically. Hunt down the explicit song, if you can. These gaps are annoying)
