A video was shot for the single on March 11. When the album dropped, fans noticed that `` High School '' reminded them of a mixtape song called `` Hood Story ''. It was included on her first mixtape called Playtime is Over. Nicki recycled the verses `` he said he came from Jamaica '' and `` he owned a couple of acres ''. At the end of Hood Story, Nicki whispered, `` To Be Continued '', but it was never finished until now. She indirectly confirmed this speculation by retweeting `` HOOD STORY PART 2 ''. Critical reception `` High School '' received mostly positive reviews from critics. Jeffries from AllMusic said that the song `` restores faith with three - and - half minutes of driven, witty filth. '' He also noticed that `` The Re-Up comes on with such an anti-Roman, back - to - basics attitude that it slowly slithers up to the Wayne track. Women in Hip Hop website gave a very positive review to the track saying that `` aggressive voice and flow is a winning factor on this song, Lil Wayne did well and the catchy chorus helped round it out. '' Bené Viera from VH1 Tuner appreciate Minaj 's `` storytelling capabilities. '' Jesal Padania from RapReviews commented negatively saying that `` it 's another song that does n't really cut it, '' and it 's `` not compared to ' Roman Reloaded '. '' Music video Background In an interview in Dubai, Nicki confirmed that she will be filming a music video for `` High School '' or `` I 'm Legit '' in 2013. In February 22, 2013, a fan asked Nicki on UStream when will the video be shot. She responded that she will shoot it in a few weeks, confirming the shoot in March 6. The video was shot on March 11 by Benny Boom in Los Angeles. The music video is confirmed to be released on April 2, 2013 globally, where Minaj will interview with MTV after its premiere and answer questions via Twitter with the hashtag # AskNicki. The video was released at 10.53 AM on MTV and an Explicit Version of the video was released at 6 : 30PM the same day on VEVO. Minaj posted some pictures of the video shoot on March 12, 2013. On March 19, Minaj posted a behind the scenes video filmed and produced by Grizz Lee. She appears in a jacuzzi while wearing a neon green bikini. She changes multiple times and is carried around set by a bodyguard. Wayne and Birdman also appear in the video. He suggests that she films in her birthday suit. Nicki originally wanted him to play her husband in the clip. `` I would 've loved that, '' he tells her. Synopsis The video begins with an intro for the participants in the video, including Birdman and actor Emilio Rivera as `` El Jefe '' who played the `` don '' in the video. The video then cuts to Minaj walking poolside in a pink monokini in a beautiful sunlit scene. Lil Wayne and Birdman are shown pulling up to hand over a Louis Vuitton duffle bag to a mafia don. Minaj plays the mistress of the don. Wayne and Birdman then go inside the mafia leaders mansion to secure the deal, and as Minaj is seen walking down the stairs, Wayne appears to be gazed in awe at the sight of Minaj. Throughout the video, Minaj is seen in many revealing outfits, some include a yellow monokini, and lingerie. As the meeting is on, Minaj is seen meeting eyes with Wayne as she walks past. Wayne then raps his verse poolside as well, with video girls dancing beside him. Minaj and Wayne then have a seductive - like love scene where Minaj appears in lingerie, and Wayne is seen shirtless. Various clips of Minaj in a jacuzzi and backyard sporting a yellow dress are shown. Then as the mafia `` don '' has left the meeting, Birdman tells Wayne to go flirt with Minaj. More clips of Minaj 's and Wayne love scene are shown. Minaj then disguises herself in a mask and black hoodie and robs the `` don ''. Ending the video, Wayne is seen waving down a helicopter, as he and Minaj escape the scene. The pink pill appeared in the music video. Live performances Minaj performed High School for the first time on her Pink Friday Reloaded Tour stop in Perth, Australia during a melody. The single was also performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live but was unaired due to timing. Minaj and Lil Wayne performed High School at the 2013 Billboard Awards.
