Dancehall and hip-hop has always held close sonic ties. The Moroccan-born rapper French Montana is continuing the Coke Boy craze, and doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down his grind. The "Pop That" rapper finally drops off the provocative visual for his dancehall-infused track, "Freaks," his sexually-charged collaboration with Nicki Minaj who steals the limelight in her pasties. The track will appear as second single on Montana's upcoming debut LP, "Excuse My French," duo May 21.
It's par for the course for dancehall-inspired cut, which samples both Li'l Vicious Destination Brooklyn track of the same title and Chaka Demus & Pliers' 1994 single "Murder She Wrote." It combines Caribbean energy, with a hip-hop twist. Minaj pays homage to her Caribbean roots on this dancehall-flavored track by using a rhyming style reminiscent of her "Beam Me Up Scotty" days, Minaj spits some sexually-charged bars over a beat and wastes no time squatting on a throne backwards while giving an eyeful of her assets and pasty-covered boobies.
Forget the demure Minaj at the "American Idol" judges table, the rapper goes back to her raunchy roots, bouncing her notorious backside in incredibly tight spandex, gold pasties and little else. Montana told Billboard it was a no-brainier to get Minaj on the track: "Nicki Minaj being from my home town, we were talking about doing something together, and this record was it. I wanted to do something different, especially with Nicki on the record with me, and Rico Love produced it. The game hasn't had a dancehall song, a Jamaican song like this in so long, and Nicki being from Trinidad and me being from Morocco, that record is international."
The Eif Rivera-directed visual finds the pair in the midst of a good ol' fashioned basement dancehall-esque type party and amongst a constant dance battle and plenty of Dutty Wining. Montana rocks furs, but it's Young Money diva's cameo that has everyone talking. While it is French's anthem, Minaj clearly outshines the Bad Boy artist with her physique, as she really came through, taking her top off, shaking her money maker and keeps eyes set on her with her leopard ensemble and gold pasties, dripping sex appeal.
