Jennifer Lopez has gone old
school in her latest music video by recreating some of her greatest
fashion hits, while "flipping the script" by cavorting with nearly naked
male hunks in the clip for "I Luh Ya PaPi," featuring French Montana.
The video opens with Jenny From
the Block and her back-up dancers discussing the shoot's theme with a
clueless male record company executive. After they ridicule his terrible
ideas, one of her dancers asks, "Why can't we objectify the men?"
Following that, the mother of two 6-year-old twins opens the clip for
the dance-floor banger sitting on a bed with a few naked men, wearing a
jumpsuit reminiscent of the green Versace gown with the plunging
neckline that she made famous at the 2000 Grammy Awards.
According to Lopez, the
similarity between the new jumpsuit and her iconic dress was just a
coincidence. "We didn't really even plan that," she told People magazine.
"The stylist just brought it on the rack and I saw it and was like,
'What's that jungle print doing there?' So it just kind of worked out."
The 44-year-old "American Idol"
judge is also seen wearing a white shorts ensemble that recalls the
outfit she wore on her 1999 "On the 6 album," frolicking on a yacht with
a bevy of boy toys. At other points in the clip, J.Lo sports Daisy
Dukes, grey sweats and a white crop-top ,and an orange midriff-baring
ensemble that looks like a sexy modified life vest.
As for the Speedo-clad models in
the clip, they're not exactly ready for a turn on "Dancing With the
Stars." Of the male hunks who were choreographed by her boyfriend,
Casper Smart, Lopez told People, "I mean they're beautiful. Lying there,
it was genius! But when they had to get up and be like, 'I luh you,' it
was like, 'OK guys maybe one more take.' This was the closest I would
ever do to a rap video. It was a lot of fun."
Actually there is some rapping in
the piece. About two-thirds through the song, French Montana throws
down some rhymes. And for the record, he's fully dressed.
