    This album really shows the variety of Nicki Minaj. There are more rap/Hiphop leaning songs and ones that lean more towards a more pop/electronic sound. Even influences of RnB can be found. Apart from the different genres the album delivers hit after hit after hit. The only critic point is, that the album seems a bit unstructured and some tracks seem very rushed.

    Depois de se escorar no pop em seu álbum de estreia, nicki minaj resolveu buscar inspiração em alguma caçamba de lixo do Queens para compor esse álbum. Não tem uma música que preste nesse álbum, lixo sonoro atrás de lixo sonoro do começo ao fim desse álbum podre

    One of my all time favorite albums. I don’t know why so many people dislike it. Nicki really shows her versatility here and almost every song is a bop

    A strong follow up to her debut, love that she can blend pop and rap so well. Highlights for me are right by my side, pound the alarm and gun shot.

    É um álbum arriscado, que, se baseando na formulação de pink friday que buscou fundir rap e pop, nesse nicki tentou rap e edm, as vezes funcionando, em outras não, como um projeto longos, as tentativas frutradas acabam deixando esse album algo meio a meio

    I have no idea why the critics only gave this album a 60 while it deserves at least a 85. Rap meeting the pink!!!

    Simply Pop-Rap perfection. Although some of the songs could’ve been shelved/replaced, Minaj always manages to deliver amazing albums.

    Nicki Minaj but once showing to be the greatest in rap! an album with impeccable beats and rhymes, Roman is undoubtedly his biggest alter ego.

    BEST RAP/POP ALBUM EVER MADE!!! Whip it is my favorite. And starships is a cultural reset. Nicki really raps amazingly on this album. She always outdoes herself. I stan the queen of rap.

    No this album is trash. She trying to hard to be everything else but a rapper. I’m here for the rap songs but it’s giving Chinese girl band... I don’t know who listens to this type of crap consistently ..

    The album begins weak with a desperate cry from Nicki to make believe that it can be purely rap if it

    I still don't get why this album has a yellow critique and "the re-up" edition has her highest qualification. I think this is a masterpiece, very innovator, the fact why I personally think nicki minaj is a genius and a queen is because she makes the perfect mix of pop and rap, with her unique flow and this album proves it all

    Nicki Minaj's sophomore album shows growth from her debut project. While the lyrical content is something to work on. The production value and features are chosen better on this record. I also appreciate being able to see both the pop and rap side of Minaj on this album.

    This is actually one of the most creative and cohesive albums by a hip-hop artist. Nicki Minaj really took a risk on this album and she is definitely more than "just a rapper". The first half of the album contains hip-hop songs where she delivered many dope verses and the second half of the album contains bubbly dance songs which seem to be made for fun. But it is fair to say that this is not a great follow up to Pink Friday. "I Am Your Leader" had the best rap verse on the album, "Beez In The Trap" being the close runner-up and "Va Va Voom" being the best pop song on it. What makes this album good is that it is original and never done before. You can hate "Roman Holiday" for being a weird song but it is actually a theatrical and experimental song, it's not meant to be silly. She alters herself in a way that really puts the IT factor on her albums, which makes it different in an enjoyable way. I suggest you get into her albums.    … Expand

    It lumps together all the rap tracks on the first half, and lets the pop fluff fill the rest.

    If you enjoy contemporary pop whose market-tested blare offends both rockist philistines and IDM aesthetes, her second album is a worthwhile investment.
