Nicki Minaj’s MTV song Anaconda has very little to do with the snake. The 2014 release is a promo for women with curves and big behinds. And so is the April release by Janelle Monae, Yoga, whose YouTube view is just shy of the 23 million-view mark. It’s about showcasing the “bum bum as they do the yoga” as Jidenna put it in the lyrics.
