Today, May 14, 2026, marks exactly five years since Nicki Minaj officially released her iconic third mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty, on streaming platforms.

Originally released in 2009, Beam Me Up Scotty was already considered a cult classic among fans long before it arrived on Spotify, Apple Music, and other digital services in 2021. But its streaming debut introduced a whole new generation to the raw energy, charisma, and lyrical dominance that helped define Nicki’s rise to superstardom.

One of the biggest moments surrounding the 2021 streaming release was the inclusion of “Seeing Green,” the highly anticipated collaboration between Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Lil Wayne. The track instantly became a standout and reminded listeners why the Young Money era remains legendary in hip-hop culture.

Five years later, Beam Me Up Scotty still feels fresh. Its influence can be heard across today’s rap landscape, especially among newer artists inspired by Nicki’s animated flows, alter egos, and unapologetic confidence. More than a mixtape, it became a blueprint.

Nicki Minaj’s impact on rap culture is undeniable, and Beam Me Up Scotty remains one of the clearest examples of why she changed the game.

So now the question is:
