Jennifer Lopez has debuted the music video for her song ‘I Luh Ya Papi.’ The sexy visuals recreate some of her most iconic moments, turn men into sex objects and much much more. It’s gone viral and generated quite a buzz!
Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to jolt us back into remembering why she has been so famous for so long, all the way back to the Jenny from the Block days. With one music video she’s just reminded anyone who needs reminding that she remains an iconic entertainer to be reckoned with…that is, in case anyone actually forgot!
The music video in question was directed by Jessy Terrero and is for her new song ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ which features rapper French Montana and is the lead single from her upcoming 8th album. And the premise isn’t a inferential, it’s built right into the intro; as she is seen brainstorming video ideas with friends. In the words of one of the women the singer converses with “Why do men always objectify the women in every single video? Why can’t we for once objectify the men?”
While the video has gotten mixed reactions — it’s loved with passion or hated equally — it has caused quite a stir. On the one hand, it’s exciting to see some of the styles of old, including that unforgettable plunging Versace gown she wore at the 2000 Grammys reworked — but not by much — into a an equally daring jumpsuit. The 1990s J-Lo is back, but with some of the edginess and satirical vantage point of the 2010s.
Yes, it’s explicit, but this time it’s not the video vixens, it’s the men! Chiseled nearly naked men lounge around and look sexy. In other words, they are treated just like women! Objectified and prized for their looks, not for anything they do, although some raunchy dance moves count for much. A cheesy parody or a valuable social commentary. The Internet and social media are divided. But, after so many videos from so many other pop stars, not least of them, a certain Miley Cyrus riding naked on a wrecking ball, and even Beyonce getting into the game with some expilict lyrics and racy dance moves to match, it was more than time for Jennifer Lopez to toss a hat into this admittedly controversial ring.
Successful? Or just pandering to the lowest common denominator, that being how much sex one can get away with in a music video without it turning into outright pornography?
As they say it’s every man for himself and every woman for herself. Watch the Jennifer Lopez video — ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ — below that’s caused such a stir!
