    No início desse álbum você acha que está ouvindo mais um álbum pop de uma cantora genérica, do meio para o final do álbum se você tiver a sorte de não sair com um dano auditivo, agradeça a Deus pois tem que ter muita coragem para ouvir esse álbum radioativo do começo ao fim

    This is THAT album. The one when a promising artist debuts with a fresh captivating sound and image backed by extraordinary skill . The features here are so impressive and only a testament to her power. The Eminem assisted romans revenge is one of my favorite rap songs ever (in spite of it's casual homophobic slur usage) and the phenomenal "moment for life" music video lives rent free inThis is THAT album.

    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.

    Um álbum marcante, mixado entre pop e hiphop, com tentativas de tornar cada faixa um hit

    This album was severely trash. I personally dislike the song super bass. I think that song is so over played and over hyped.

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

    Trashy songs, Trashy fanbase, Trashy Artist, And she really has to pull the race card against Iver when she is an untalented loser at the Grammys? Lame. Please can we just cancel her career already. She's god awful. PLEASE People do us a favor and quit streaming this idiot!

    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.

    This album was nothing special. She needed the features to carry her name at the time. If it wasn't for that, this album wouldn't be good. This is also most pop

    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.

    This was trash from beginning to end. She’s not a good rapper. This record proved she will never be on the same level as rap legends and gods. She the bottom of the barrel frankly

    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

    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.
