    This album is honestly a classic. There are only a few tracks towards the end of the album that I skip.

    Best female rap debut of all time for sure, such as strong sound for a first album. Highlights for me are right thru me, moment 4 life, here I am and dear old Nicki.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Album is a classic, and you’re just gonna have to deal with it. I see a lot of most likely white men who don’t listen to anything but kiss, and they don’t wanna give a black woman credit for anything, but i sleep so well at night knowing that Nicki is the queen of hip hop, and they hate to see it. I love watching them seethe everytime she comes back out. Her new album will be a classic as well. DEAL WITH IT.… Expand

    You want to start your first album with "I Am The Best" as track 1, especially when you're a legend in the making. 10 years and the album is as good as new. I've just been roaring to track 2, that's how good.

    A good album ! Really surprising she got so many “legend” in her debut album. She got balls saying she got “sons” “the queen of rap”. Promising.

    Jamais tinha visto uma cor tão parecida com um artista, Rosa você logo lembra a Pink hahaha a Nicki também, as perucas foram e ainda são marca registrada dela, Nicki revolucionou o mundo do rap com seu flow divertido e músicas animadas e diferentes, algo nada parecido com as rappers anteriores (todo o respeito por elas), mas é fato que Nicki tinha uma identidade própria, e em seus visuaisJamais tinha visto uma cor tão parecida com um artista, Rosa você logo lembra a Pink hahaha a Nicki também, as perucas foram e ainda são marca registrada dela, Nicki revolucionou o mundo do rap com seu flow divertido e músicas animadas e diferentes, algo nada parecido com as rappers anteriores (todo o respeito por elas), mas é fato que Nicki tinha uma identidade própria, e em seus visuais também icônicos.

    Mas sobre o álbum, Pink Friday foi e ainda é uma referência para novas rappers olhar e realmente tomar notas.
    Com músicas com Eminem, Will.I.Am., Drake e Natasha Bedingfield; se mostrou versátil tanto no rap assim como no dance/pop, trazendo atenção de grandes meios como a Billboard e Rolling Stones, e nisso logo ela foi pavimentando seu caminho na música na billboard hot 100, com várias entradas como Super Bass e Moment 4 Life com Drake, dois ótimos singles que marcaram sua carreira bem no começo.

    Uma faixa que foi sampleada, que realmente chamou minha atenção foi 'Blazin' além de ter um flow impecável, Nicki mostrou cultura, farofa como dizem hahaha, e muita qualidade, essa música nos traz para uma nova dimensão.
    Um não single 'Dear Old Nicki', é uma faixa emocionante onde a 'nova' Nicki joga um papo emocionante para a 'antiga', isso me emociona toda vez.
    Super Bass obviamente é uma das minhas favoritas deste álbum, com um ritmo contagiante e o que poucos sabem em participação da incrível Ester Dean, que transformou a música também, o clipe colorido e tudo que a indústria precisava, simplesmente um clipe para ser lembrado.
    E por fim Right Thru' Me, uma faixa r&b com rap que super combinou, até sinto falta dessa vibe nos dias de hoje em seus trabalhos, mas enfim lembro dessa música ser tocada sem parar nas rádios assim como Super Bass.

    Finalizando, Pink Friday é um álbum que trouxe o rap pop para o mundo, e influenciando rappers como Iggy Azalea, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion entre outras, mostrando que a nova Rainha do Rap veio para ficar!    … Expand

    she's the queen of rap for a reason. literally revived female rap with one album and made rap more interesting. She brought hard work, and barz to the table. She is a living legend.

    The best female rap debut ever. She came to conquer, to build an empire, with her pen. And she did it. You might think because this album is flooded with icons (Eminem, Rihanna, Kanye) they would outhsine her but no, she always stands out.

    Her split personality makes for an oddly polarised debut. [Feb 2011, p.84]

    Pink Friday is full of boring....the most confounding thing about Pink Friday is that it lacks style, lacks weirdness, whatever your opinions of how deeply that weirdness goes.
