Nicki Minaj Dirty Money music video from “before she was famous”

Here’s a blast from the not-so-distant past in the form of an official Nicki Minaj music video from well before Pink Friday. The song features a slightly less Barbie-ized Nicki spittin’ rhymes on the street – first with a bit of stylized video editing, and then just straight-forward Nicki doing what it is that has made her an international superstar.

***WARNING*** As you might have guessed, there is a good bit of profanity in the clip.

I think I like her better without a Pope.

(Sorry, no “before it was famous” shots of her booty.)
