Nicki Minaj's introduction to the music scene might have been the biggest blessing to hip-hop. Back in 2009, female rap music was characterized only by gangster-style music and trap flow.

It was only when Minaj came into the game that she perfectly blended rap and pop, making her the biggest female rap in the game - up until now.

Now, she has more songs that fans have etched into their memories than anyone can remember.

Nicki Minaj Album Discography: Which Has More Iconic Songs?

Pink Friday

Nicki Minaj's debut album is by far her most iconic one. After her iconic "Monster" verse, Minaj fused rap with bubble gum pop with "Super Bass." She also established how great she is in melodramatic arrangements in her now-iconic song "Fly" with Rihanna. She left people stunned with how animated and sharp she was with "Roman's Revenge," and who could forget her songwriting prowess in collaborating with Drake on the Grammy-nominated song "Moment 4 Life."

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded

Her sophomore album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," further cemented Minaj with the rap royalty she currently is.

"Roman Holiday" instantly became a hit showcasing how powerful Minaj can be when she channels the erratic Roman Zolanski. "Beez In The Trap" shows Minaj rapping in catchy and trap beats. However, "Pound The Alarm", "Va Va Voom," and "Starships" easily became one of pop music's treasured hits because of how timeless the writings she put in them.

The Pinkprint

To date, "The Pinkprint" is one of Nicki Minaj's most beloved albums. In fact, she even rated it as her second-most favorite album of all of her albums.

Her collaboration on "Feeling Myself" with Beyonce is still highly acclaimed to date. Her record with Chris Brown, 'Lil Wayne, and Drake on "Only" was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 58th Grammy Awards. Her ballad, "Pills N Potion" offered a peek into Minaj's vulnerable side, while "The Night Is Still Young" remains a classic party anthem to date.

Queen

Released in 2018, "Queen" might have been one of her most star-studded ones but is not that adored by many of the Barbz. She introduced everyone with her alter ego "Chun Li," returned to rapping hard rap laced with pop beats in "Good Form," and reintroduced Barbie in "Barbie Dreams."

Pink Friday 2

Minaj's recent release, "Pink Friday 2" exceeded everyone's expectations. Her new body of work re-affirmed who she is and why she is here to stay. Sampling old tracks into new timeless records have been one of her strongest suits, which can be heard on "Pink Friday Girls," "Everybody," "Super Freaky Girl," and "Red Ruby Da Sleaze."
