#9: Nikki Minaj's Anaconda- the Line

In my opinion this music video was probably over the line, but to be honest it is not necessarily the worst music video available for viewing on Youtube.  Some scenes, specifically towards the end when the video featured Drake are provocative, and downright inappropriate, but it could certainly be worse.  However, I think most of the controversy comes from the fact that not only was this a multi-million hit video, it was from one of the largest icons we have in the music industry, who is predominantly a role model for young girls.  Most of the worst videos for sexual content are released by artists not so main stream, or who have a more mature following, and usually (unless they are Lady Gaga), they are not released at the peak of said artist's career.  I think that as a society, we worry when one of the world's largest role models behaves in this way, as it undeniably will influence people of both genders in the way they socially interact, expectations, etc.  In the long run, simply based on the targeted viewing audience, this video is over the line, but the fact that it crosses the line is somewhat irrelevant.  This was a calculated move by Nikki Minaj, and having the highest viewership online in recent history, nobody can un-see anything, we just have to deal with it.
