00:00 Only an icon can give out gifts on their birthday, and that's the queen of rap, Nicki Minaj.
00:04 And from her boom-ba-doom-doom bass to it being Pink Friday yet again,
00:09 we're celebrating Nicki the Harajuku Barbie's 41st birthday in this week's Pop Culture Rewind.
00:25 It's a monster moment in pop culture we'll never forget. Nicki Minaj was killing the features early in her career,
00:32 but her first album, Pink Friday, was full of massive hits.
00:35 None bigger than "Super Bass."
00:41 A pop culture moment if we ever saw one.
00:45 The album went number one on the Billboard 200 and spawned the follow-up, Pink Friday, Roman Reloaded, another number one.
00:54 Is the third time also a charm?
00:56 For Nicki's December 8th birthday, she's releasing Pink Friday 2 and has teased us with track "Last Time I Saw You."
01:03 The rapper has three Hot 100 number one hits. "Say So" with Doja Cat, "Trolls" with 6ix9ine, and her solo hit, "Super Freaky Girl."
01:15 Which chart will her loyal barbs help her top as a birthday gift back? We can't wait to see.
01:24 We'll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
