Through this blog I hope to present music videos which may or may not be popular and to analyze them, sparking interesting conversation and adding new perspectives to viewers and myself.
The music video ironically beings without music but rather a scene shared between Trey and Nicki. The song begins at a normal level of loudness but as soon as the chorus breaks, so does the silence, and the picture. As the music becomes heavier and louder so do the visuals of the artists being filmed as well as their surroundings.
Before we ever get a full shot of Trey's partner Nicki, we still see plenty of other women. The setting of the song happens to be in a club, where there are girls dancing behind the artists in rhythm with the music. The audience gets a full scope of the over sexualized bodies of these women as Trey remains the focal point of attention.

Like many other music videos, especially in this genre, the "Bottom's Up" video changes moods with the music. The drunk-and-dizzy effect the camera gives off becomes more intensified as the lyrics and rhythms become heavier and more "animalistic".
