Nicki Minaj Premieres "Up In Flames"

posted in: Music News

Just a week after taking fans to “High School” with Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj is again treating her followers to new visuals with the release of her official video for “Up In Flames.”

A decidedly more serious song than “High School,” “Up In Flames” offers Nicki a stage to showcase her insanely gifted mic skills. People can talk all they want about her ludicrous wardrobe and often confusing decision to use crazy voices in her songs, but after listening to this track I doubt any will be able to claim that Nicki can’t rap. The visuals are strong as well, of course, but when step back it’s the lyrics that linger long after the clip comes to an end.

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded The Re-Up is available now.
