Feeling Myself (Nicki Minaj ft Beyonce) Analysis

Feeling Myself Snippet :




As this music video is an exclusive to Tidal, a short snippet was put on YouTube to entice viewers into watching the real thing. Music video snippets have a similar purpose to movie trailers. They are used to not only promote a music video, but also builds hype towards the release. 

Analysis of "Feeling Myself"



Nicki Minaj GIF taken from the full video. Scene appears when
Nicki raps "Every time I whip it, I be talkin' so reckless".  This 
scene is a literal interpretation of the lyric as Nicki is seen 
whining (Caribbean dance move that is often referred to 
as whipping)  in a kitchen, whipping a mixture in a mixing
bowl. 
From the general vibe of the sound of the music video & visual communication, it is clear that "Feeling Myself" belongs to the Hip-Hop genre. Nicki Minaj is primarily a hip-hop idol which reinforces the genre the of the song, along with the featuring of Beyonce who has affiliated herself with the hip-hop genre on many occasions.

The theme of the song centres around being confident in yourself in all elements: image, financially and sexually.
