Your support makes all the difference.With Nicki Minaj having thrown down the ass gauntlet with Anaconda, J-Lo and Iggy Azalea have responded with a music video for Booty the concept of which seems to be 'butts butts butts butts butts butts butts butts'.
"What's a good excuse to just cram a video with a load of flesh?
"We write a song just called Booty that says 'booty' loads."
"You get a raise!"
This was presumably how a meeting went down in Jennifer Lopez's underground lair recently, Nicki Minaj having shifted the R&B pop paradigm so that mainstream artists can only really surface on Vevo by extolling the virtues of ass cheeks.
J-LO is 45 for Christ's sake, she probably thought she'd be settling down writing ballads by now, the videos for which are just her staring pensively from a yacht, but no, here she is grinding on Iggy Azalea and being slapped with a load of water for no reason.
Maybe it's a commentary on twerking? Here's the lyrics for the chorus, you decide:
Big, big booty
What you got a big booty
Big, big booty
What you got a big booty
Big, big booty
What you got a big booty
Big, big booty
