Jan 29, 2015I really enjoy this album. Nicki Minaj definitely knows what she wants to express about herself and her past. It also features tons of cool guest stars, from Kanye West to Rihanna. There are parts where the music can be a bit aggravating however, mostly due to the mediocre production and autotune. But other than that, this is a very good album.
-
Feb 3, 2012disappointed album. Only good songs were Did it on em, Romans Revenge & Fly. Nicki could be could if she really put time into her work. She rushed this album and it became a disappointment. Nicki plz let Roman Reloded be better than this

Jun 3, 2020The 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.
-
Aug 7, 2013Kind of disappointing. I can't really tell which is more disappointing, her rapping attempts, or the other singers or rappers on the album. The songs are catchy, though.

May 28, 2012A Very Good Debut Album For A Rap Artist!
I Enjoy All Of The Songs, But The Reason I Marked The Album Down From A 9 To A 7 Was Nicki Does Not Need More Than Half The Song On The Album To Feat. Someone!
Overall A Nice Album! -

Oct 12, 2018Álbum muito decepcionante que não define Nicki Minaj como artista. "Pink Friday" deveria ser rap, não pop. Já para não falar dos artistas convidados do álbum, como Rihanna, Kanye West e Bedingfield, que ofuscaram completamente Nicki. É uma pena...
-
Nov 25, 2020Trashy 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!

Mar 24, 2013The Best Rap Debut Of All Time! The Best Rap Album Of 2010!
Every Song Is Special And Unique In It' s Own Way! -
Nov 1, 2013Yuck. Aside from Super Bass and Moment 4 Life, this is an album of...... disgustingness to be clean (partly because I'm unsure on metacritic's policy for cursing) We have a song about sh**ing on people, a song about how shes such a bad b*tch and well, thats about it. gross
-
Nov 9, 2012It's pure filth; loud degenerate noise from start to finish.
-
Sep 6, 2014Não há palavras para descrever essa perfeição de álbum. Nicki Minaj acertou em cheio, e fez um álbum incrível. Sem mais. Ela misturou o Pop com o Rap e Hip-Hop, e essa mistura ficou incrível. Nenhuma faixa é ruim ou "pulável"
-
Mar 24, 2013Nicki Minaj gives us her Grammy-nominated debut album containing hit tracks such as "Super Bass," "Moment 4 Life" and "Fly." Minaj displays true talent as a kick-ass female rapper.
-
Apr 22, 2021Um álbum marcante, mixado entre pop e hiphop, com tentativas de tornar cada faixa um hit
-
Jun 20, 2011One of the most awaited albums of 2011 and it did not disappoint. The album is consistent, charming, makes everyone know who Nicki Minaj is. It has attitude and amazing lyrics. She can definitely compete with the likes of Eminem, Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne. The highlights of the album include "Roman's Revenge", "Did It On'em", "Super Bass" and "I'm The Best".

Jan 28, 2013There are around 20 songs when you combine all the editions of this debut from Nicki so while some of them are pretty good, the majority fall into the latter. I'm not a massive Hip-Hop fan so it's just OK for me.
-
Feb 16, 2011Pink Friday is definitely and distinctively good. From catchy pop tunes "I'm the Best" to R&B "Last Chance", the album is neither hip-hop, pop nor R&B. It showcases Nicki Minaj vocal abilities that can rap and sing at the same times with artistic elements on it. There are few songs that actually bad and I don't have to mention it.
-
Sep 20, 2019Nicki Minaj is completely the new queen of hip-hop. All songs are awesome, collaborators are really good and Minaj's rapping is unbelievable!
-
Sep 10, 2011Most of the songs are bad auto-tuned and she seems to be an attention seeker/Gaga wannabe. The only good fact about "Pink Friday" is that the songs are really catchy and well-produced.
-
Jan 11, 2020O primeiro álbum da Nicki e cheio de músicas interessantes, a partir daí tornou-se a maior artista feminina do gênero.
-
Jan 5, 2016Ridiculous, a EDM/pop album, full of stupid songs and auto-tune, these rumors (it's not music) are f*cking horribles, how can you listen to this sh*t, WAKE UP!! And last thing, don't call this rap, because it's pop-rap/electropop. Worst songs are "Super Bass", "Your Love", "Fly", "I'm the Best" and "Dear Old Nicki", the other songs aren't good. Maybe one of the worst albums ever made in music
-
May 1, 2015Minaj's music is wicked and sexy! she's the kinda artist that will make you have fun and Pink Friday is one of them! fgnfjfnjfnjnvfjnvjfnjfvkdmdoedmkmfjjvdnvjfnjvnfvrgtgtugtuntntuntuut

May 12, 2020Un álbum plástico, relleno y color rosa que ya se había visto antes. Una decepción este debut...
-
Sep 29, 20111st Of All I Love Nicki...I Am Normally Not Picky.. This Time Will Be.
Her Voice Is Very Different Than Anyone I Have Ever Heard (In A Good Way)
Most Of The Songs Are Fine, Or Meh But Overall The Best Songs On Pink Friday Are:
1. Super Bass
2. Check It Out
3. Your Love
4. Romans Revenge -
Jun 22, 2019Hip Hop's newest female voice shows how to fuse her pop figure to the genre in which Nicki does perfectly, in addition to her debut album acquires a very interesting and peculiar identity that is part of Onika

Nov 25, 2010Pink Friday it's a debut album that when you hear it you say: This is a before and an after. Pink Friday is the proof that Nicki Minaj will be the greatest female rapper ever.
-
Aug 26, 2021Best 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.
-
Oct 21, 2019a moderately good album, with some salvageable songs but it lacks too much to be considered rap, it is only pop music with fast lyrics that contain suggestively sexual and stupid lyrics, without any sense which at some time will be easily forgotten.

Nov 28, 2010I need an Aspirin after hearing this album. So ... annoying. None of the songs sound like they'll do her any favours as they don't really stand out. She has a creative mind, I'll give you that, but puts it to terrible use. Plus, her image looks too much like a rip-off of Lady Gaga's.
-
Oct 16, 2015Melhores músicas: I'm The Best, Roman's Revenge, Did It On'em, Fly, Check It Out, Blazin, Your Love, Super Bass, Girls Fall Like Dominoes, Wave Ya Hand, Last Chance
-
Feb 26, 2012Romans Revenge Is The Best Track On This Album. She Should Include More Hip-Hop Influenced Beats And More Rapping On This Album Album, But I Like The Direction She's Going In.
-
Jan 26, 2022This album is honestly a classic. There are only a few tracks towards the end of the album that I skip.

Feb 25, 2012Fantastic album. One of the best female rappers of all time. Highlights of this album were "Fly (ft. Rihanna)" and of course, "Super Bass". Recommended for all girls out there.
-
Oct 23, 2014Nicki Minaj is a talented rapper (can even be said as the best of today), Pink Friday was definitely one of the best albums of 2011 and now the queen is coming back in 2014

Nov 21, 2020Happy 10 year anniversary pink Friday!!! Nicki is the Queen of rap and this masterpiece shows that nobody can ever be Nicki.

Aug 1, 2012**** Nicki, they have to step the **** up when Nas is on the mic so they don't look like the **** they are
Nicki tried to make moon boots happen...........
WHAT THE MOTHER****? They mother****ing EXIST you dumb **** -
Nov 11, 2012Possibly one of the worst albums ever,one of the worst artists ever,and probably the worst songs ever. Nicki Minaj has an iratating voice that does not deserve approval at all.

Feb 26, 2015Absolute s***! and I think Nicki Minaj and J Bieber met once. The music sucks! Please avoid it at all costs. It is a disappointing piece of crap. A pile of dog poo!

Mar 24, 2015What a piece of crap. Nicki Minaj is a horrible singer. I think she and JB have met once. Absolute trash. NM is also one of the bad singers that I beat up in Super Smash Bros for Wii U. Avoid this album at all costs. Buy Mario Party 9 or 10 instead of this dog poop.
-
Aug 23, 2019The album is the best debut of all decade, Super Bass is Diamond, is a Smash hit, Your Love, Save Me, Right Thru Me, the album deserved 90.
-
Apr 21, 2021One of the best debut albuns of the decade that was released. Nicki the queen of rap!!!!
-
Jun 17, 2022No 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
-
Dec 1, 2010A couple of decent tracks with some filler. Nothing stellar, though she does lay down a nasty flow on a freestyle-ish track with Em. Appearances by Kanye, Rihanna, Eminem, Drake, and Will I Am save the album from complete disaster
-
Dec 2, 2010I'm so impressed by this record! I'm not usually a rap fan at all, but this album is virtually flawless! Not a single dud track - I've had this album on continuous repeat since first buying it. Highlights for me are Roman's Revenge, Save Me and Your Love.
-
Aug 23, 2011nicki minaj suck's this whole entire album suck's nicki minaj = talentless this album is sooo dumb and unintelligent it made lol soo hard that i broke the cd into twothis album is already in the bargin bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan 6, 2016Um álbum mix de pop e rap. Nicki não atendeu a cobrança por qualidade visto suas mixtapes, mas o álbum tem seus momentos de genialidade, como "moment 4 life", "your love" e "fly", que é a melhor música do álbum.
-
Feb 1, 2020Abominable, plastic garbage for deluded teenagers and degenerate adults.
Super Bass has an interesting melody, but that can't save us from the abyss of Minaj's disgustingly offensive worldview and attitude. -
Sep 20, 2020Es muy buen album uno de los mejores albums raps con nicki sobresaliendo con baladas pop rap ella es simplemnte maravillosa en lo que hace . Ella puede cantar , rapear , escrbir ETC . Digno de llamarla reina
-
Nov 23, 2020It is a magnificent and timeless album! Nicki did this knowing that it would be forever marked in the history of music, it is the greatest of all time.

Nov 12, 2013this album was dedicated to Lil' Kim.... Literally more than half the songs were about kim! this is crazy!! the high pitch raps and meaningless flow is just a sad case, her somewhat obsession to be lil' kim is just depressing as she's a cheap knock off and executes it poorly. she should stop trying to be lil' kim and trying have some creativity cos she's straight up garbage atm lol.
-
Jan 5, 2015Nicki Minaj creates a classic with her debut album. She keeps up with amazing features and pours every aspect of herself into the album. Pink Friday is a great success for Nicki, hip-hop, and culture as a whole.

Aug 29, 2020Este fue el inicio de una nueva era, marcó la historia del rap femenino. Un álbum que jamás debe ser olvidado.

Nov 21, 2020You 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.

Aug 30, 2014I love this album so much it's something different coming from a female rapper and we've never heard something like it before (the closest we'd get is Missy) it's a great introduction and it's one of the best debuts from a rapper in this day and age.
-
Aug 13, 2018Queen of rap. The album who shooked the table and changed hip hop culture forever
-
Sep 10, 2019An album that started a legacy that can't be undone. A lot of nostalgia with this one.
-
Aug 29, 2020The first album and being that iconic . Like who had eminem on the first album .
-
Nov 20, 2020A 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.
-
Nov 20, 2020This 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
-
Aug 31, 2021The most versatile rap album ever literally on repeat. Ageless masterpiece it’s almost 2022 and I’m still streaming it wow.

Jan 3, 2014She's a weak, terrible rapper, the worst female rapper to ever join the female rap movement. Even with the fact that her next album is gonna flop and she's gonna disappear forever, what Nicki Minaj did to the female rap movement is totally terrible and very scary.
-
Apr 27, 2014Minaj excels and is at her best when she she rapping hard and aggressive, her wordplay and rhyming always are a highlight of any track. She successfully was able to create a very solid, well put together debut.
