Usher Ft. Nicki Minaj – Lil Freak (Music Video Review)

Using the words hedonistic, sexy, steamy, and erotic is not typical when speaking about an Usher video, but the R&B singer sure changes his typical vibe with the new video for “Lil Freak.”

The video is a combination of the films Saw and Dirty Dancing — two films that have absolutely nothing in common and would seem to be a disaster if they were to be combined. But, somehow Usher makes it work. Combining the dark and gritty scene of an underground factory with the erotic grinding of girls in tight clothing combine to announce to the world that Usher is once again single.

He doesn’t seem to be looking for his next long-term relationship as Usher sings about setting up a ménage å trois by sending out a bisexual girl on a scouting mission for another female to make the threesome complete.

The video follows a hot brunette who experiences the factory-club like the viewer does — with wide eyes and trepidation.
With lyrics like, “If your f*cking with me, really f*cking with me, you go get some girls and bring them to me … be my little freak, you let her put her hands in your pants be my little freak.”

Wow. To prove Usher is serious he sends Nicki Minaj out on the mission, who raps about stealing Cassie away from Diddy and “I’m looking for a cutie, a real big ol’ ghetto booty, I really like your kitty cat, and if you let me touch her, I know you’re not a bluffer, I’ll take you to go see Usher.”

Double wow. Any warm-blooded male will love this video, along with any female who may be interested in the possibility of experimenting around as Usher hopes females will. Interviewed by MTV News about the song and the singer said that he does indeed send out girls on scouting missions. “Those are the best chicks to be friends with, honestly.”
