Nicki Minaj has unquestionably established herself as one of hip-most hop’s most influential performers. She has been an eternally creative force in hip-hop during the 2010s, surpassing even Aretha Franklin as the leading female artist with the most charting entries on Billboard’s Hot 100. Indeed, she holds the Guinness World Record for the most Billboard Hot 100 entries by a female solo artist, which she achieved in 2017. Along with her excellence, she has a controversial streak that keeps making news, but her reputation will be built on the finest Nicki Minaj songs. She regularly lives up to the assertion she made with her debut band, The Hood$tars, in 2004: “I ain’t the gal to mess with.”
1.5 Star Remix (Yo Gotti, featuring Gucci Mane, Trina, and Nicki Minaj)
Minaj is the newcomer on this single, but she holds her own against Gotti, Gucci Mane, and her seasoned inspiration, Trina.
2. Win Again
This extra track from 2014’s The Pinkprint would be perfect for Minaj’s senior thesis if she needed one. The rapper compares herself to Meryl Streep, who has been nominated for 21 Academy Awards and has won three of them, with unashamed confidence about her dominance.
3. Catch Me
“Catch Me” would subsequently be included as a bonus track at the conclusion of Minaj’s debut album, Pink Friday, and would serve as the foundation for her futuristic sound. It’s a long-time fan favorite because it encapsulates both sides of Minaj’s persona: she starts off with all guns blazing, but by the chorus, she’s transformed into a full-fledged R&B diva coo.
