When being at school today, my teacher asked me and my two friends what we thought of Nikki. We said, "singer/rapper" and "big booty" when asked to describe her. We were then told to look up her new song, "Only" because of the controversy that was going on because of it and how people thought that it was a reflection of the Holocaust and the symbols used seemed to be associated with the Nazi Symbol.
As soon as I saw it, my energy drained and anger set into me. I can't explain "why" exactly and I may just be taking it to personal. But the video and song definitely had a negative connotation I felt and hated it. I was pissed after watching it, feeling very offended and angry that this video seemed like it was directing people into darkness and that violence and hatred seemed to be the answer of life. Maybe it's just me. I couldn't understand all of it, but I knew for sure that it had a very negative reaction out of me.
We talked about some of the reactions and thoughts people had to it, and one of my friends saw no problem with it. That people were just being over sensitive and took things too personally and that people should "forget" the priest. I completely respect her having her own opinion, but I just couldn't handle it today after that video. It really disturbed me.
I personally don't think people should be idolizing these "musicians" or seeing them as role models. What is happening to today's society? I understand that we have the right to freedom of speech, but some minds are really demented and disturbed.
Does anyone have any views on this music video? I'm still not sure what to think or how to react. I'd love to hear different opinions.
