Nicki Minaj - Starships ('Pachelbel - Canon in D' Version)

[shoemop]

this is what artists mean when they say they have had “classical” training

[tjl]

It is astonishing how well the lyrics aged even 400 years later. Truly ahead of her time.

[jayking]

1600s and she out here talking about starships. A futurist.

[愛-hp]

this is literally *way* ahead of its time

[very_tired_child]

At first I was all “oh hey, a goofy mashup, this is fun” but when the second chorus hit I ascended to a higher plane of existence

[J-bc]

She was born in 1982, but sang this in 1680's. What a talented artist!

[dapills]

"I'm the female wheezy"
Such words will be remembered for centuries.

[Midna]

Historians will look back upon this either with awe or fear.

[Snuister]

2000s and 1600s babies both feeling nostalgic

[Siajhuq]

Though her hairline was diminishing, her intelligence was not. Nicki Pachelbel has taught us about the economic struggle within that 400-year range. An absolute masterpiece captured within the essence of this melody.

Starships truly were meant to fly, everyone. Thank you.

[stariamlol]

She was ahead of her time. Such a shame she’s not with us today.

[hussainul-haq]

Can’t believe Nicki Minaj created the Renaissance

[isa_milyy]

It's insane how perfectly it harmonizes

[chasedavisson]

English Teachers: “This poem is so deep, touching and meaningful”

The Poem:

[barrybbenson]

"jump in my hoopty hoopty hoop"

this brought me to tears it's so emotional

[saskiatruter]

It just gets better and better as the song plays

[Proteus-zbqv]

1:46 this chorus section fits particularly well to how Canon builds up

[avabordoloi]

This radiates some sort of energy I can't understand

When a culture war ends in a peace treaty --- this song

[sergio]

"I'm the female Weezy". That line is so deep it got me weeping. Truly a masterpiece.
