Nicki Minaj Essentials

Whether she's ticking off reasons to boast, singing about her emotional triumphs and tribulations, or setting a collaborator's track on fire with white-hot bars, Nicki Minaj's lightning-speed flow and verbal trickery snap listeners to attention. This collection of solo numbers and features laid down by Minaj and her alter egos (The Harajuku Barbie and Roman Zolanski on “Monster,” for instance) shows why her rapid ascent didn't just redefine the rap game: Her overwhelming confidence, winking wit, and seemingly endless drive hypercharged the pop world.

Nicki Minaj Video Essentials

Nicki Minaj's videos are just like her raps: a seismic blend of grit, glamour, and subversive wit. The trippy neon fantasy of “Super Bass” and the innuendo in “Anaconda” are unforgettable examples.

Nicki Minaj: Next Steps

Nicki is a force of nature in hip-hop, pushing the boundaries lyrically and visually. If you're just familiar with her hits, check out the tracks that get the Barbz, Boyz, and Kenz hyped.

Nicki Minaj: Deep Cuts

Nicki Minaj knows her way around a pop song, but the rapper's most scintillating rhymes are far too brutal for mainstream radio. Just check out the threatening barbs she drops over the rumbling beat of “I Am Your Leader,” or on the warbling, tic-filled “Want Some More.” On “Roman In Moscow,” Minaj unleashes her wild alter ego Roman Zolanski, cranking her voice into beast mode to rain fire on the track's skyscraping synths.

Nicki Minaj: Influences

Nicki Minaj's fast-talking ‘00s mixtapes were very much a product of her New York upbringing, stacking boastful rhymes that channeled the bravado of Lil' Kim, the pugnaciousness of Foxy Brown, and JAY Z's ever-expanding ambition. Minaj's evolution into a pop force through songs like 2010's sunshine-bright “Super Bass” followed the path of Lauryn Hill and Beyoncé, whose melding of towering hooks and hip-hop swagger turned them into world-conquering forces.
