"Massive Attack" is the debut single by Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, featuring Sean Garrett.

An accompanying music video which features a helicopter chase, and militaristic jungle and desert scenes, was positively received.

"[5] In an interview with MTV News, Minaj stated when she first heard the song she felt she was in Africa and fell in love with the drum beats, and commented, "It's a very rare.

[6] In an interview on the set of the video shoot for "Massive Attack", Minaj said, "I'm excited for people to hear me ... doing more than one verse.

[9] The single's art cover was revealed on April 1, 2010, featuring a still of Minaj in the music video as a ninja and comic book font designs.

[10] Alex da Kid said that a lot of artists wanted the beat such as Jamie Foxx and Young Jeezy but he gave it to Nicki because it fit her "quirky, left-field vibe.

"[11] Alex da Kid was also interviewed by Rap-Up, and when asked about the commercial flop of the song and he said, "My whole thing [is that] I don’t want to do anything that’s the same as what’s out there, I think 'Massive Attack' may have been too different.

[6] Monica Herrera of Billboard gave the single a mixed review, stating that Minaj, being "one of the most visually distinctive rappers to come along in years", that the single was an "anticlimactic coming out song", "considering the hype Minaj has generated through mixtapes, cameos and her co-starring role in Lil Wayne's Young Money project".

[13] However Hererra did commend the lyrical content, stating "her sassy one-liners are as entertaining as always", and the overall production although it didn't suit Minaj's "her mental-patient delivery nearly as well as, say, Kane Beatz' simpler track for Young Money's "BedRock".

[13] Robbie Daw of 'Idolator' said, "we wouldn’t expect Nicki to do any less than come out of the gate charging full force, lyrically, on her debut single.

[15] Ryan also said, "her verbal dexterity, complex flow and humor, Nicki is reminiscent of classic Missy Elliott – and that's a compliment of the highest order".

A music video for the single was shot on March 15, 2010 in the deserts of Lancaster, California, directed by Hype Williams.

[7] When talking to MTV News about the video Minaj stated, "I didn't want to shoot the typical new-artist vision.

"[8]Sean Garrett appears in the video and Birdman, Amber Rose, and Ringmasters of Season 3 of America's Best Dance Crew make cameos.

[16] The music video begins with Birdman giving Minaj a stack of money to carry to an unknown area in the desert.

[16] During the chorus of the song, a shirtless Garrett is shown singing into the camera while clips of the helicopter chase are interpreted.

During the climax of the song Minaj is still in the jungle this time with a green wig, dancing in the mud and comes out of the water, crawling through the forest.

"[13] Chris Ryan of MTV News commented on the video, saying, "We L-U-V Barbie because she's a trendsetter and a strident, unique artist.
