Nicki Minaj is the latest artist to have her life documented by the folks at the E! entertainment channel. The one-hour-long special features a glimpse at the Young Money queen’s career from its earliest days up until now, when she has become one of mainstream hip-hop’s biggest artists.

But I won’t spoil the entire special for you, of course. You can view it in three parts below:
