Nicki Minaj is an icon. She has had hit after hit for the past decade whether it was her own songs or her multitude of features on literally EVERY single person's song.
So let's start out with the song lyrics that, (in my opinion), sent her into rap superstardom.
1. Kanye West featuring Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver - Monster
"So let me get this straight, wait, I'm the rookie?
But my features and my shows ten times your pay?
50K for a verse, no album out,
Yeah my money's so tall that my Barbie's got to climb it."
All rappers talk about their money, so this is nothing new. But for someone to come out of the gate on a song with KANYE WEST AND JAY-Z and completely steal the spotlight?! She's a monster.
2. Nicki Minaj featuring G Herbo - Chiraq
"I'm with EBK, you on EBT,
Got a black nine, call it BET.
School n*****, get a GED,
And I tease n*****, make em B-E-G.
Nicki took the world to the streets of Chicago for this track, and sent my mouth straight to the floor. In case you didn't know:
EBK: EveryBody Killa (Term regularly used by gangs)
EBT: "Electronic Benefit Transfer," food stamps used by people of low income.
BET: Black Entertainment Television
GED: General Education Development Test, which is for people who didn't graduate from high school to complete their education.
All other rappers:
3. Ciara featuring Nicki Minaj - I'm Out
"I do it big, I hit them with the caps lock,
I'm gonna ball, I hit them with the mascot,
No, I never been there but I like to Bangkok."
Umm, did she just?
4. French Montana featuring Nicki Minaj - Freaks
"Big fat p****, Mufasa."
I'll never be able to see The Lion Kween the same ever again. PSA Children, this one's NOT for you.
5. Gucci Mane featuring Nicki Minaj - Make Love (Lyric 1 of 2)
"You silly rabbit, to be the queen of rap,
You gotta sell records, you gotta get plaques,
S, plural like the S on my chest."
We have a code blue, floor 7 on a Remy Ma. Cause of death?
SHOTS FIRED.
6. Gucci featuring Nicki Minaj - Make Love (Lyric 2 of 2)
"Oooohhh, oh you the qu-e-e-the queen of this here?
One platinum plaque, album flopped, b****, where?"
Remy Ma:
7. Nicki Minaj - Itty Bitty Piggy
"That's why i get more h*** than a pigtail,
Put some ranch, I'm getting the munchies,
I think I'll have a rap b**** for my entree."
And this was MIXTAPE NICKI. She hadn't even gotten a budget yet!! Keep eating Nicki.
8. Nicki Minaj - Boss A** B**** (Remix)
"Rule number one to be a Boss A** B****,
Never let a clown n**** try to play you,
If he play you then rule number two,
F*** his best friends then make them yes men."
THESE are the type of notes I wanted to take in college. A+ girl.
9. will.i.am featuring Nicki Minaj
"I just pop up on these h*** on some pimple s***,
And put the iron to your face you old wrinkled b****."
In case you didn't know, "iron" could be a gun or the appliance used to remove wrinkles. I'm not sure which one was worse for Lil Kim, but Nicki did NOT come to play on this pop bop.
10. Beyonce featuring Nicki Minaj - Flawless (Remix)
"Flawless city with these flawless t******,
I got all these hundreds, you got all them fifties,
I'm with some flawless b******, cause they more than pretty,
Cause n***** love bad b****** that be on they grizzly,
Throw that a** back, I be on my frisbee,
Princess-cut diamonds, on my Disney."
I had to include this verse last because this was a collaboration that SHOOK the world. Voted "Best Song of 2014" by TIME, Nicki's flo, verse, and lyrics stole the song. Even though my wig is officially snatched, I still feel flawless so thank you for that Nicki Minaj.
