[Video] Lily Allen: "Hard Out Here"

Lily Allen steps back into the limelight with a video for her new single "Hard Out Here."  Allen lashes out against sexism and the constant objectification of women in the music industry with some hilarious twerking scenes and non-stop sass. With lyrics like "Don't need to shake my ass for you 'cause I've got a brain," and "Forget your balls, grow some tits, it's hard out here for a bitch," Allen doesn't waste any time holding her tongue.

The video mocks Robin Thicke's much debated "Blurred Lines" video and pokes fun at the stereotypical video girl, washing a hubcap in the kitchen. Allen received some backlash, accused of being racist because of the  black back-up dancers in the video. "The video is meant to be a lighthearted satirical video that deals with the objectification of women within modern pop-culture," she wrote. "It has nothing to do with race at all."
