Nicki Minaj's Version of the
 NEW Barbie Song Gets Lit

On Society And Culture

By Co-Publisher nZinga Austin

I watched The Barbie Movie, with my mom, and at the end credits it had the Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice renditions of The Barbie song.  It sounded better than the Original Barbie song.  The only thing is it has a lot of cursing in the song.

Both Nicky and Ice Spice are from New York.  Nicky hails from Southeast Queens while Ice Spice grew up in the Bronx.   

Seeing Nicky Minaj and Ice Spice's UPdated hip hop street smart rendition of the Barbie theme song made me reflect on my past, family, and culture. 

I liked all the Barbies growing up but my favorite Barbie was the blond haired blue eyed Barbie.  I did really like to play with black Barbie's too and my dad wanted me to be proud of my culture.
