He said in his patreon that they took very good care of him. He actually was freelancing for another company before but that company screwed him. Then this label came along and paid him well and took good care of him.
Hey dudes, even if you don't dig the song, at least the artist was cool enough to know and like Felix and hire him. Be nicer or people won't hire Felix for fear of the hate.
Because these people do MUSIC and this is a MUSIC VIDEO, so if they think hiring him will only get their MUSIC shat on, then there is no reason to hire him, and it's actively bad for them.
Yup, music´s shit independently if you support Felix or not. Have a little of taste and common sense for God´s sake. Besides, you don´t have to pretend or lie about your music preferences just because "they hired him". Come on man, Geez....
TacoTaco Burrito Don't need to lie obviously. Just maybe don't everyone shit on it at once. I wouldn't care, except Felix said this job really helped him, and I'd like him to be able to do more jobs like this to stay afloat.
That logic doesn't make sense. Music videos exist to draw attention to the music, and by hiring an artist like Felix they are drawing in a lot of people who would not normally have been listening to this music. It doesn't matter if half of the new viewers think it's shit, there are plenty of other people who would think it's good.
They didn't make the video. It was an artist named Felix Colgrave. He's an amazing artist who's made multiple animated music videos. Check him out. His content is great. I have no idea why they didn't credit him, but that's not their job.
You mean they didn't made the animation. Of course they make the video, you could say that they didn't fully make the video I'm gonna be surprised that Fiddler doesn't knows Felix because 90% of the comment section is about "oh Lady gaga is cringe but Felix is a masterpiece XDDD" and that is how most of the people (Including me) found the video
there's something really aesthetically pleasing with the color palette with this animation being paired with the music. it's abnormally in a sense, but it just works. hats off to Felix's fantastic animation work.
I lke both the animation and the music it really fits. I dont reallly understand why people have the need to hate on the song. Yall should respect both artists.
In a weird way I think there cound not have been a better Video for this. The Message of the lyrics is simple and on the nose but together with the animation it get´s a more delicate meaning. It´s not just about sex, it´s about two very different - even opposing - individuals being together (predator and prey). So sexual relationship is about fragile trust of the partner not to hurt you. Kind of beautiful to have this in a Nicki Minaj song of all people. I think it´s great to have very different fanbases come together to see what others enjoy :)
i agree with you!! i also believe its showing that love can come in any form and anyone can love and be attracted to anyone despite the "opposing" nature!! . its a great video!!!
I now have a whole new view of the animation, the song still sucks, but yeah, the animation just got better by 100000000000000 times even though I thought it couldn't get better
The animation is amazing and the song is a bop. Some of y'all need to understand that just because you don't like something doesn't make it trash by default.
Exactly... i'm out here bumping this song while reading all the comments saying that the song is shit... lol. The song is great. And so is the animation.
You know, this song has really grown on me. I like how it's not just about sex, it's about the feeling of vulnerability you feel and the trust you must have in your partner, to let them see you in such a vulnerable state. Most modern rap is just about poundtown, but this is way more sensual. I like it 💜
Such a marvelous and fragile thing it is, trusting your partner, the person you love, with your vulnerability. So happy to see other people feel the same way.
Contrary to what you might think, this is probably not that good for Felix. As a music producer or a musician, you don't want the clip artist to take the show completely.
This song and music came to me at the perfect moment in my life. The lyrics and visuals perfectly described what it's like to have a crush (and all the ensuing hormonal madness) after getting out of an abusive relationship. Uncertainty, fear, and heart flutters, all experienced, and perfectly expressed in the words "Don't hurt me" Felix, you have outdone yourself once again! You couldn't have made a more perfect video
Nicki killed her verse... as always. 🤷🏽♂️👑 The beat is catchy, and the animation is pretty cool! I love the mysterious vampire animation when Nicki raps.
@@zmanthepanda3255 Then listen to the right hip hop songs lmao. Just because the majority of hip hop songs that are popular are about that doesn't mean they all are.
Fucking gorgeous. Animation fits the song perfectly. 10/10 Great job Felix. I also enjoy songs that feature Nicki Minaj doing her thing in a "different" kind of way.
No mention of Colgrave in the description, shameful. The only reason I watched was for Felix's animation. Please add Felix in the description with a link to his channel. EDIT: AWWWYEAH TOP COMMENT. Everyone replying to this gets credit. Because I give credit to those that deserve it.
I jut want to say that this animation and the song is great. I love how the animation matches the beats of the song. I feel like the artists did a fantastic job! I would like to see more videos like this! Animation goals! 👍🏾
i like how the animation beats with the music the Nicky's lips with snake fangs and tonge was pretty dope the part wen the beat is a bit smooth being underwater is so clever i loved it
I love it when animation flows like that, moving with the beat rather then trying to keep up with it. Felix did a good job, even if the music isn't my cup of tea, the video is still exciting and interesting to watch :3
+MrMartechi Just the sheer number of them. If I was a music producer, I wouldn't want to hire someone that would bring a flood of negative comments about the music.
An Alot Usually all professionals have one rule: Never read the comment section. UA-cam comments are not a reliable source of information when it comes to feedback and everybody knows that.

But that is not the case. When it comes to real business, youtube comments are no factor of any significance.
I watched this music video before I saw any of Felix colgrove's animation I'm glad I randomly remembered this video and started to appreciate the art years later
So much hate on this song yet there's only 3k dislikes and 96k likes. Seems like the haters are always hating in the comments. I love this song and Felix's animation. They both go really good together.
I love this song. Buuuuuuutttttt I only know this because I've been following Colgrave for years. As stated before, came for the animation, stayed for the animation but the song was a tasty perk
The way the animation goes so well with the music and beat especially with Nicki's part, Felix has done it once more
artists should collab like this more often. Art doesn't have to be either obscure or popular. It's just... art stuff. Like a musical Breakfast club.
Felix Colgrave's is the art you're looking at.

Only here for Felix Colgrave.

I hope that felix was paid well for this, considering he did such a good job and wasnt credited in the description.
He's listed at the beginning
He just mentioned on his Patreon that this project was the reason he was able to finish Double King because he was paid so well, so no worries! :)
He said in his patreon that they took very good care of him. He actually was freelancing for another company before but that company screwed him. Then this label came along and paid him well and took good care of him.
He was mentioned in the intro of the song :)
Think same
just the fact that felix animated something like this makes me so happy, go felix!
Came for the animation. Stayed for the animation. Came from the animation.
absolutely!

That moment at 1:52 really made it for me. Mmm, I love it when Felix's critters devour other critters, but what a nice surprise!
When I'm old and i have kids I'm going to sit them down and tell them about the moths and the bats.
This made me bust out laughing holy fuck 😂
Not the squids and the whales?
The squids and the whales are... something that comes later on.
Wait what about the snakes and the mice? 🐍🐀
oh yeah yeah that's a good one, though a little dirty still to explain to the kids.

This is underrated masterpiece . Not only animation, every scene and flow of music was so amazing.
Now if only the same time and dedication that Felix took to make the animation went into the music we would have a true masterpiece.
