Ranking of Nicki Minaj's Top "Barbie" Songs
On Friday (July 21), the long-awaited Barbie movie finally made it to theaters, and Nicki Minaj not only contributed a hot song to its soundtrack but has long been associated with the Mattel doll.
The Queen emcee referred to herself as the "Barbie" at the start of her career and the release of her mixtape Playtime Is Over in 2007. Nicki makes an appearance as a doll confined inside a box on the project's cover. Since then, the nickname has shaped her persona and brand, and she refers to her followers as "Barbz."
Numerous female rappers, some of whom even have the word "doll" in their names, have acknowledged Minaj's influence on their musical careers. Minaj has demonstrated throughout the years that she is more than just a stunning face, perfect body, and vivacious attitude. With bars that range from gritty and raw to bouncy and lighthearted, she spoke poetic, displaying her variety that keeps her at the top of the game. Through cinematic visuals and top-charting albums, she has consistently maintained faithful to her Barbie identity while her music and style have changed over the years.
"I am so excited to be here and be a part of this entire moment," Minaj told ET at the Barbie premiere. I'm delighted they thought of me since I'm eager to see this movie, just like everyone else is.Barbie has been a recurring phrase in my career. As a result, it's a very satisfying moment.
Here is a list of Nicki Minaj's top "Barbie" songs, which not only drew inspiration from the well-known Mattel doll but also helped to shape her identity.
First, "Barbie Dreams"
The internet was enraged when Nicki Minaj's "Barbie Dreams" became viral. The song reworks Notorious B.I.G.'s "Dreams," but from Minaj's own point of view. In the version, she mocks the most well-known artists in hip-hop while rapping about what it would be like to have sex with them.
She rapped, "I tried f**king 50 for a powerful hour/ But all that ni**a wanna do is talk 'Power' for hours. She also cited partners Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, 6ix9ine, and her ex-boyfriend Meek Mill. After the song's release, Minaj told her Twitter followers that the song was designed for entertainment purposes and that any rappers that were mentioned on the tune were there for a specific reason.
"In #BarbieDreams, I only discussed partners that I f*ck with. This is not meant as a criticism. She tweeted, "Yikes. "This is BIGGIE, this is culture!" It's New York! That's fun. Fun in a lighthearted way.
"Barbie Tingz" 2.
With her song "Barbie Tingz" from 2018, Barbie talked about why she's still successful and inspired many others to want to be like her. Although Minaj is well recognized for frequently referencing the features of the Mattel doll, she also emulates the way of life in real life.
"Barbie dream house, Barbie rings," she raps. Barbie's beach house, car, fence, and white picket all exist. All tea, all sludge, all offensive language/ I'll put you in the box where my dolls have gone if you ever attempt to take Barbie's Ken.
The song is from her Queen album, which debuted with 185,000 album-equivalent units at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200. At this time, the Barbie Tingz" video has received over 124,000,000 views.
"Barbie World" 3.
Nicki Minaj's "Barbie World" featuring Ice Spice is the most popular song from the Barbie movie soundtrack. The song features a Barbie-themed music video and samples the original 1997 hit song "Barbie Girl" by Aqua.
The song is a playful twist on the original as Minaj integrates Ice into her long-term Barbie lifestyle. The two spend a lavish day in Malibu, the Mattel doll's iconic hometown, in the Hannah Lux Davis-directed video. Before driving a pink Barbie vehicle and going jet skiing on pink clouds, the rappers get dressed up in their Barbie fantasy home.
Minaj is decked up in two curly ponytails, a black and white polka dot dress, and magenta platform shoes. The bad boy from the Bronx is dressed in a skater skirt, a yellow off-the-shoulder top, and pink hair.
The New Yorkers trade verses while surrounded by "Ken dolls," rapping, "And I'm bad like the Barbie/ I'm a doll, but I still wanna party/ I feel like I'm about to bend in a pink 'Vette. Since I'm a 10, I'm doing a Ken. such as Jazzie, Stacie, and Nicki The Barbies are all lovely. The Barbies are all awful. We're not playing tag, it's girls.
"Black Barbies (Black Beetles Remix)" is number four.
With her "Black Barbies" remix, Minaj chose to join Rae Sremmurd's 2016 smash song "Black Beetles" remix.
Rapping, she says, "Pink seats in the 'Rari/ Always f**k him like I'm sorry/ I'm a f**kin' black barbie/ Pretty face, perfect body." As she boasts about having men at her feet ready to do whatever she wants and being the best woman to do it, Minaj gets to indulge her brash side. She exclaims with confidence, "Usually I'm the baddest, usually I'm the cutest/Usually I'm the flyest, usually you're the stewardess."
The Queens, New York native expressed her pride in the popularity of Rae Sremmurd's song at the time of the remix's release.
"Why? Because Mike Will and two little black kids have the nation's top record, and I'm ecstatic for Mike, she wrote. "Now tick that off, emoji! "#SremmLife #MikeWillMadeIt Guwop on the numb one record in the country," says my baby Phaedra.
Fifth, "Barbie Goin Bad"
Nicki Minaj announced the release of a new Queen Radio episode on Instagram in February 2019. Two freestyles were performed by Minaj for the eagerly awaited episode, including "Barbie Goin Bad," which samples her ex-boyfriend Meek Mill's 2018 single "Going Bad" with Drake.
With her appealing cadences and cutting phrases, Minaj demonstrated why she is in the running with major Hip-Hop stars. Old boy and my brother attempted to have me killed, she raps. "You asked for the G.O.A.T. so they sent me, sleeze," she continues. "Tryna lay low, don't tempt me, sleeze." "You b**ches still my sons, learn your As and Bs."
"Barbie Drip" 6.
On Young Thug's "Drip Too Hard" in 2019, Nicki added her own remix dubbed "Barbie Drip."
On the song, Minaj flexes shamelessly and warns her detractors. She brags about declining million-dollar endorsement offers while taking stock of her achievements.
Drip worked his d**k too hard, so I recently received $10 million for work that has yet to be completed. You spent your money, but I haven't yet said that I'm your soulmate. I didn't aim to hurt your feelings, but you have,/ I'm sorry I put you through that; I'm just a b**ch.
