The intensely provocative lyrics that weaponize her physical allure to tease men are absolutely striking.

This is a work released in August 2014 by Nicki Minaj, an artist from Trinidad and Tobago who cemented her position as a leading female rapper.

Included on the acclaimed album “The Pinkprint,” the track boldly reconstructs a male-perspective song through sampling into a piece where a woman actively flaunts her sexuality.

It was so extreme that it was even banned from being played in certain regions.

The music video shocked the world, surpassing 100 million views in just 11 days after its release.

A worldwide hit on social media, this video shows teens casually incorporating twerking.

In Japan, perhaps because many people are shy or due to cultural differences, there aren’t many who go this bold on social media.

Overseas, though, people dance casually as if it were a sport, giving it a wholesome image.

The MV’s story is really interesting.

Still, it’s low budget.

Even so, it gives off good vibes, doesn’t it? The booty girls popping out of cardboard boxes even make the old man crack a smile.

It’s a performance that practically screams twerk.

Fantastic! The pinnacle of hip-shaking.
