"Little Freak" Video Review

"Little Freak" is a song by American recording artist Usher with guest vocals by American rapper Nicki Minaj. The song was released as the second United States-only single from his sixth studio album, "Raymond v. Raymond". Its hook is based around a manipulated sample of American soul musician Stevie Wonder's 1973 hit, "Living for the City".

The song, lyrically based around the thrill of orchestrating menage a trois in a club, is of more explicit nature than typical Usher songs, dating back to 2001's "U Don't Have to Call". The song is midtempo, with supported by heavy bass beats produced by Polow da Don, although itís a little disappointing to hear Usher hit up the auto-tune on the chorus, even if itís light.

In an interview with MTV News when asked if the was he just entertaining, Usher said the song was based on real life, stating, "Yeah, I mean, I wrote about it. It happens in this day and time. Those are the best chicks to be friends with, honestly.

Usher and Minaj shot the music video on March 9, 2010 in Los Angeles with director Taj Stansberry. In an interview with MTV News on the set of her video for "Massive Attack", Minaj said that "The video is freaky. And it's a great concept, a great story line, Nicki told MTV News. It felt just like one of the sequels to 'Saw,' It was dope." R&B singer Ciara and singer/actor Jamie Foxx make appearances in the video.
