"Up Out My Face" is a song performed by popular American R&B singer Mariah Carey. Written by Carey, Terius Nash, Christopher Stewart the song features on her twelfth studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. It was remixed to feature American rapper, Nicki Minaj and then released on February 16, 2010 was to be lead single from Carey's cancelled second remixed album, Angels Advocate.
The song was moderately successful having peaked at number 39 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and at number 100 on the overall US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Nicki Minaj's second charting song.. The accompanying music video, produced by Carey and husband, Nick Cannon, takes place in a store and features Carey and Minaj as Barbie characters. Soon after release it was announced that Angels Advocate was cancelled and so subsequent promotion and releases of the song ceased.
A music video was shot in December 2009, along with the video for "Angels Cry (Remix)" featuring Ne-Yo. Both videos were co-directed by Carey and her husband Nick Cannon. They premiered together on VEVO.com on January 27, 2010. Cannon makes a cameo in the video in a reference to his 2002 film, Drumline.
Synopsis[]
The video features Carey and Minaj as several different characters. In one scene, they are dressed as Barbie dolls who escape their boxes. In another scene they are dressed as nurses. Another finds them in a nail salon. There are also several scenes of the two attending a shopping store wearing large dresses. Minaj said that Carey 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."
Reception[]
In a review of the video, Chris Ryan of MTV News said, "No offense to the imperfect angel or anything, but Nicki kinda steals the show here, dressed up like Nurse Barbie, referencing Trey Songz' "LOL" in a British accent, she basically pops balloons all over this thing." Shaheem Reid of MTV said that "the two bust out and have a good time changing outfits and playing with men," and that "The doll angle plays perfectly with Nicki's "black Barbie" personality." The video also features an appearance by TV personality B. Scott.

"Up Out My Face feat. Nicki Minaj" (Mariah Carey) [1]
It's not chipped, we're not cracked

Young Money
Nicki Minaj

[Nicki Minaj]
Yo, yo
Mariah I was in them million dollar meetings, he was cheatin'
All up in the church, he was sneakin' with the deacon
Cats away, well the mice will play
LOL smiley face, have a nice day
Cause POP POP POP, it goes my rubber band
So STOP STOP STOP, sniffin' that contraband
Cause u was penny pinchin' my accounts laced
Attentionnnn, about face
[Mariah Carey]
I thought we had something special
We had something good
But I should have had another mechanic under my hood
If you see me walking by you
Boy don't you even speak
Pretend you on the sofa
And I'm on the TV
Might see me on a poster
See me at a show
But you won't see me for free
Boy this ain't no promo
[Bridge]
In all shame now
Where ever you been laying
You can stay now
Gotta board the BBJ and pull the shades down
I'm on the plane now
And don't keep calling from your mama's house
[Chorus]
When I break, I break boy
[Up out my face boy] [x4]
When I break
[Up out my face boy] [x4]
When I break
You ain't never gonna feel this thing again
You gon' get alot of calls
Cause I CC-ed at your friends
(Laugh)
I ain't walkin' around no more
Feeling sad, that ain't even my bad baby
I break, when I break, I break
MARIAHHH
So look who's crying now, BOO HOO HOO
Talking 'bout you missing your BOO HOO HOO
Oh no you ain't gettin' it
I know you ain't hittin' it
No you ain't a rapper, so you need to stop spittin' it
HA,HA,HA,HA,HA
You wondering who I'm messing while you ain't next to me
HA,HA,HA,HA,HA
So pay the consequences cause you acted all ignorant
[Bridge]
You ashame now
Where ever you been laying you can stay now
Gotta board the BBJ and pull the shades down
I'm on the plane now
And don't keep calling from your mama's house
When I break, I break
[Nicki Minaj]
Yo, stylin' on them big B's
Bought the Benz out
Elevator, press P for the Pent House
Top doe's, we break like tacos
Roscoe's, on his knees wit a snot-nose
They be like she next
Kawasaki T-Rex
Give em' some Kleenex
Match his little V-Necks
Oh that's what he left?
Let his mama pick it up
Might back up on it, VROOM VROOM wit the pick-up truck
That blue and yellow, yeah that's the Carmelo Jag
I bob and weave em'
Hit em' wit that Mayweather JAB
I get the thumbs up, like I'm hailing a yellow cab
My flow nuts like M&M's in the yellow bag
MARIAHHH
When I break I break I break
And no super glue can fix this shit
When I break I break I break
Not even a welder and a builder could rebuild this shit
When I break I break I break
Not even a nail technician with a whole lot of gel and acrylic
Can fix this when I break, I break
If we were two Lego blocks
Even the Harvard University graduating class of 2010
Couldn't put us back together again
When I break [Laughs]
UP OUT MY FACE BOY
