Beam Me Up Scotty received favorable reviews from contemporary music critics, and is also largely credited with establishing Minaj's fan base. One of its tracks, "I Get Crazy", respectively charted at numbers 20 and 37 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs component charts.

Beam Me Up Scotty was recorded after Lil Wayne noticed Minaj's appearance on Queens-based underground rap label Dirty Money Records on "The Re Up" DVD series. He is credited with mentoring Minaj as she recorded Beam Me Up Scotty, two years after her appearance on "Don't Stop, Won't Stop", a track from Wayne's acclaimed 2007 mixtape Da Drought 3 that sampled "Can't Stop, Won't Stop (Young Gunz song)" by Young Gunz. Minaj says of her time on tour with Lil Wayne: "It made me hungry. That's what inspired me and the music for the Beam Me Up Scotty tape — the I Am Music Tour."

This is when it looked like Nicki was gonna really pop off, never thought she would like she did though. I think that she should've cleared the sample and released it as an actual single like I Get Crazy and with a real video and everything. If this was now it would've went viral all on Twitter, Instagram like that Saweetie song did except much more entertaining.

That go hard!!

If you could you would get rid of me,
F*** you gone do when a b**** try to go hard?
But I won't let you get to me (to me)
You should already figure I'ma go hard.
If you was as real as me you would never
Let another girl sit in yo throne.
I done put the choke hold on now
They screamin', "Nicki leave me alone!"

Was just about to post this. This is hands down the best song on the album, she dragged and the funny thing is everything said then still applies even more now than it did before.


I used to listen to this sh!t everyday.

Nicki has been trying to get on since 2003, from a group trying to get signed in New York to moving to Atlanta and working with Deb, to releasing a mixtape every year 2007-2009, took her 7 Years from her first attempt to release an album. She worked too hard for this.

After I listened to this mixtape the first time, I knew she was going to do big things. I also love how she sometimes references things in her current music that she said back in her mixtape days. I need her to drop a surprise mixtape next month on Pink Friday!

I mean she okay, but she ain't all that
She ain't the next b!tch, tell that b!tch fall back
See I'm a hater, I go hard, listen, let's begin
You know her last name, Minaj? She a lesbian

And she ain't never comin' out, look at Currensy
But every time she do an interview, you know I run to see
She get me so sick, it make me vomit
That's why I spend my time online, leavin' comments

Still I rise, still I fight
Still I might crack a smile
Keep my eyes on the prize
See my haters, tell 'em hi
One day you'll remember this
One day when we reminisce
Nothin' I do ever is good enough for the music biz

I think she would have to clear the samples in order to put them up, most mixtapes from that era aren’t on any streaming services.

She needs to have someone work on that because that just gives more insight on who she is as an artist. I’m sure the people she sampled wouldn’t have a issue of making money off of it.

Yeah I would love for it to be remastered as well. I luckily found a version online without annoying as DJ Holiday.

I don't f**k with pigs like Asalamaleykum.

Memories, man. Nicki has def paid her dues. Which is why it is beyond mortifying that some have made it their life mission to detract from it.
