10 Reasons You Should Love Nicki Minaj

7. She's Also A Pop Princess

In addition to dominating the hip hop world, Minaj has established herself as an incredible crossover artist, producing a number of chart-topping hits. Her second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded was released in 2012 and announced her arrival in the world of pop. "Starships", the first single from the album, successfully blended Minaj's rap skills with dance music and a pop sensibility. It became her most successful single, selling over 7 million copies and shooting up the pop and dance charts all over the world. The song is an absolute earworm, celebrating youth and freedom like every good party anthem should. Minaj has had a number of other mainstream hits, including "Super Bass" and "Pound The Alarm".Though some long time fans were disappointed in Minaj's forays into pop, she's been unapologetic about making more widely accessible music- and it's not as though her rap skills have diminished as a result.
