Nicki表示当知道自己要跟Mariah合作Up Out My Face的混音时，她简直受宠若惊， 所以她非常保密。「一直到我真的和玛丽亚共处一间录音室的那天，我才真正相信我们 合作的这件事情。我甚至没跟任何人说我会和玛丽亚合拍一支音乐录影带，因为我作梦 也没想到，我连自己的专辑都还没有哩！此刻竟然会有机会跟这样的大明星出现在同一 支mv里头！在这支mv曝光之後，反应似乎非常好，它好像还是某一天YouTube影片播放的 冠军。这真是太疯狂了！玛丽亚是西洋音乐界的指标人物，我从Vision of Love, Someday 那时候就已经很迷她了！我都还记得我跟妈妈对着镜子假想自己是玛丽亚凯莉唱歌的样 子。 Nicki Minaj says she was so surprised that she got a call to work with Mariah Carey on the remix of "Up Out My Face" that she kept the collaboration very hush-hush. "That one, I didn't believe until I was physically in the studio that I was doing with something with Mariah," the New York native told MTV News last week. "I didn't even tell anyone I shot a video with Mariah, because I didn't even believe. In the back of my mind, I felt like, 'This video is not gonna come out. There's no way I'm gonna do a video with Mariah Carey before I even put out my album.' Then, when it came out, I think it was the #1 video on YouTube in one day, something crazy like that. She's an icon, I've loved her since I was little, like 'Vision of Love,' 'Someday.' I was one of those little girls in the mirror singing her songs with my mother." 与其说她是个天后，不如说是个好伙伴。Nicki回忆道：「玛丽亚真的非常风趣幽默！ 我本来以为她会摆出天后架子给我看，但事实上我们整天都在开玩笑。她真是一个贴心 且平实的好人！」在他们合作的mv里，有着绘有MIMI和Nicki的两个芭比娃娃盒， 里头装着一白一黑的巨型芭比，互相叫劲抢男人、变换造型。「这mv太搞笑了！ 大多数的大牌艺人会找後生晚辈合作，但这些菜鸟的名字几乎都不会被提到，因此我觉得 自己相当被重视。玛丽亚本身很喜欢这些芭比玩意儿，而且她就想要和我一起拍摄这支mv 。不过，她还蛮担心人们会批评她怎麽老大不小了还在跟Nicki一样装可爱，我跟她说： 『你天生就有芭比娃娃的特质！』事实证明，我们拍摄得非常愉快，而且这mv的效果 还真是好！」 Much like her fellow Mariah Carey collaborator and good friend Gucci Mane, Minaj said the real Mariah was nothing like she imagined. "When I met her, she was so funny and silly," Nicki recalled. "I thought when I was gonna work with Mariah, [she] was gonna be like this diva. But we were cracking jokes the whole day. She's a sweet, down-to-earth person." Nicki and Mimi had their names written on two giant baby doll boxes in the video. In the Nick Cannon-directed clip, the two bust out and have a good time changing outfits and playing with men. The doll angle plays perfectly with Nicki's "black Barbie" persona. "I think it was dope," Minaj said about the video. "A lot of times, more famous artists or more confident artists take from a younger artist but they'll never include you in that. I feel like she liked the whole doll thing and she wanted to do it with me. But she said that: She said, 'Everybody's gonna say "she's doing Nicki." But I told her, she's always had a doll persona, like all that 'doll baby' [stuff]. So it goes perfect with Barbie and we had fun. That's all that matters." --
