Please Watch This New Nicki Minaj and PARTYNEXTDOOR Video and Tell Me What it's Actually About

Major Lazer's video for "Run Up" with Nicki Minaj and PARTYNEXTDOOR is finally here and if you, like me, have no idea what it's trying to say, I tried to imagine how exactly the pitch meeting went down because what in hell is happening in this video.

Directors: So it's going to be like a LA pool party scenario, but everyone's on their phones, Snapchatting, Face-Timing, Instagram stories etc. People will be filming themselves making out. We'll try to do it really nouveau like incorporate i-Phone-shot footage...or at least fake it.

Management: Mmm yes, millennial, relatable, here for it.

Directors: Right? So everyone's on their phones but PARTY isn't. He's confused. He's into a girl. She's on her phone and doesn't notice.

Management: Way-oh! Here it is, the whole "disconnect" message.

Directors: Nah nah hold on there. So then Nicki comes in for her verse and she's face-timing Diplo and she's twerking and it's all go.

Management: I'm with you, I feel it.

Directors: Then that's it for Nicki and we're back at the party with PARTY and the girl and he gets a face-time call from the girl he was pulling up on.

Management: Juicy.

Directors: Right? But PLOT TWIST, they're face-timing and she's right next to him.

Management: Love it. Then he hangs up, right? Because he doesn't want to live a relationship through his phone?

Directors: No.

Management: Ohhh, so he answers the call but then they both realize they should throw their phones in the pool and leave together?

Directors: No.

Management: So like...what's the message?

Directors: There really isn't one.

Management: No message? No moral?

Directors: None, but the Internet-gen will love it.

Management: Iconic. Done.

I mean, that's pretty much the lot, but if you still want the experience watch below and challenge yourself to understand.
