2022 reissue - When Nicki Minaj's third mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty, was released in 2009, it signaled her move from promising rapper to soon-to-be superstar. At that point, the rapper's razor-edged lyricism and overflow of personality had prompted Lil Wayne to sign her as quickly as possible, and the electric Beam Me Up Scotty took the hunger, wit, and charisma already exhibited on her first two mixtapes to new dimensions. By the end of the following year, Minaj would be a mainstream success, refining the raw force of her early material with a pop sheen that landed her in the top of the charts. As her fame grew, however, many fans looked to the diamond-sharp performances on Beam Me Up Scotty as Minaj's most essential material, capturing an unbridled intensity that would experience some generation loss as she grew more popular with the masses.
