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

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
-
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

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!!!!
-
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!
-
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 9, 2012It's pure filth; loud degenerate noise from start to finish.

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 12, 2011I am a longtime hater of the music industry. Niki, do us a favor, and stop rapping, its not your thing! And on that one song, get rid of the ugly ass autotune.
-
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
-

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.
-
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 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.
-
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
-
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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
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".

Jul 13, 2020Best album of the 2010's. A mix of pop and rap thats certain to get you up and moving.

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.

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.
-
Jan 2, 2011An amazing album. Minaj had alot of pressure riding on this album And she honestly pulled through like a champion. Her play on words and her lyrical content truly symbolize the new age of rap. This album is flawless

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 -

Apr 7, 2015This album was so good! Well done Nicki Minaj you surprised me with this album. I like the half singing and half rapping throughout the album, you have a really good voice

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.
-
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 24, 2010ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!! This is an excellent album. It showcases that female rappers can rap about more than sex, what';s in their pants, money, clothes, and drugs. Nicki Minaj brings substance in her lyrics which was totally unexpected. Listen and look past the obvious and see the depth. 5 STARS!!!

Dec 5, 2010an average for a rap album. way above average for a woman rapper. i'm no sexsist but they dont make the best rappers. a few catchy songs, i particularly enjoyed her collaberations with kanye west, will.i.am and eminem. summary - just above average

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.

Oct 16, 2011A great album, so many different types of song, you have Save me, slow and yet so powerful, then your up beat Romans Revenge, I love this album, and reccomend it to all Minaj fans! Justr oen song is lame which is Here I am
-
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.

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.

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
-
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.
-
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"
-
Dec 19, 2014Um dos melhores álbuns de 2010, com toda a certeza. Nicki mostra como é ágil em seus jogos de palavras, e na troca de alter-egos. Não é atoa que foi tão aclamada pela crítica internacional.
-
Dec 18, 2014Great great great great great, this a epic, a classic, this is pink friday, this is Nicki Minaj, Onika, Harajuku Barbie, Nicki the Ninja, Barbie ****, Is a **** crazy album
-
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.
-
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.
-
Oct 11, 2015
-
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
-
Nov 6, 2015The bible of rap, her best album. Fly is amazing, nicsus did a great job! PF >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>others
-
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.
-
Apr 6, 2018Pink Friday is filled with colorful, memorable, hits and excellent rap verses. Nicki Minaj came through with this album. Some of the best songs are Super Bass, Moment for Life, Right Thru Me, and I'm the Best. Nicki did not speed rap for her life on Blazin for so many people to leave horribly negative reviews.
-
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.
-
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. -
May 12, 2020Un álbum plástico, relleno y color rosa que ya se había visto antes. Una decepción este debut...
-
Nov 21, 2020Happy 10 year anniversary pink Friday!!! Nicki is the Queen of rap and this masterpiece shows that nobody can ever be Nicki.
-
Apr 30, 2021She is the queen of rap, Nobody can stop it, Nobody can stop it, its lyrics and flow are wonderful.

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.

Jul 23, 2013All you haters are just jealous of nicki's talent and money and she doesn't care what any of you haters think, she's not going to stop or change for any1, she will be forever winning in the rap game!
-
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! -

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.
-
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, 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.
-
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.
-
Jun 9, 2014This album is my all time favorite! This is a classical hip-hop album that's filled with so much diversity and epic flow. I still listen to the full album at least twice a week, even though it's almost 3 years old now. I will never get enough of Nicki. She is THE QUEEN of Hip-Hop & RAP.
-
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.
-
Jan 10, 2016This debut album from Miss Minaj Putted Rap & Hip Hop back on the map. This album is the perfect combination of Rap, Hip Hop and Pop. Let's not forget the impact of Super bass on the charts. Who dislikes this album is doesn't want to admit Nicki saved the Rap industry and are uneducated. That's all.

Aug 10, 2018That’s the first album of Nicki and we can feel her talent. That woman is important because we need femcees running that game. And Nicki is a problem. She goes bar to bar with Eminem, Kanye West and Drake. C’mon respect the QUEEN

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...
-
Jan 11, 2020O primeiro álbum da Nicki e cheio de músicas interessantes, a partir daí tornou-se a maior artista feminina do gênero.
