Barbie World - Barbie (2023 film) (Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice & Aqua) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Despite its tragic omission from the cultural moment of the year, aka Greta Gerwig's 2023 Barbie blockbuster, the original "Barbie Girl"—the 1997 dance-pop sparkler from Aqua everyone loves to hate—made its way onto the Barbie The Album soundtrack vicariously through sampling. Together, superstar rappers Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice build slick new lines around the song's gluey hook ("I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world / Life in plastic, it's fantastic") to conjure their own "Barbie World." "Yellin' out, we ain't sellin' out / We got money, but we ain't lendin' out / We got bars, but we ain't bailin' out / In that pink Ferrari, we peelin' out," raps Nicki Minaj in her lightning-quick flow. Released as a single in June 2023, “Barbie World”—which was a top ten hit all over the world, including the US—marked the second link-up between Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice following their collaborative single “Princess Diana," released in April 2023.
