Aug 10, 2018Is the Nicki best album, Although many compare it with other rapers (Cardi B) this album has a lot of musical rap art
-
Aug 10, 2018So far her best work, she really stand out and show us that she have nerve and talent to be the Queen of Rap I hope she keep doing great
-
Aug 10, 2018The real queen of hip-hop. Her best album so far. The throne is hers. Love this album.
-
Aug 10, 2018AOTY. Nicki Minaj has proven that it is her own competition and extends her title as rap queen!
-
Aug 10, 2018Album. Of. The. **** Year. Music lovers are shook! She delivered!!!!!! PERIOD
-
Aug 10, 2018This is literally the album of the year, amazing cover and musics. Just Perfect.
-
Aug 10, 2018The best album by a female rapper this year, Nicki is the rap queen, no doubt
-
Aug 10, 2018When you think some Iggy or Cardi **** can take her spot, she proves why and how to be the QUEEN. I'll give you 10 minutes to name something by a female rapper this decade more harder and iconic than Barbie Dreams. GO!
-
Aug 10, 2018Title couldn't have been MORE fitting. You can hear the HOV, Foxy and even Kanye influence. Her lyricism in this project has blown me away. The production, delivery, flow, cadence, I am speechless. Exceeded every expectation I had. Somehow she outdid herself once again. Hip-Hop doesn't give us pieces of work like this anymore. Congratulations Ms. Maraj. 10/10
-
Aug 10, 2018I'm a fan and Nicki promised a classic but kept my expectations low, I'm surprised by this album! Certainly a Grammy winner!
-
Aug 10, 2018Superou todas as minhas expectativas, todas as músicas são incrivelmente boas, uma verdadeira Rainha!
-
Aug 10, 2018No quería dejarme llevar por la expectativa de lo que este album iba a ser, pero ella LO PROMETIÓ!!
HASTA AHORA ES EL MEJOR ALBUM DE SU CARRERA, ELLA MERECE TODO ESTO Y MUCHO MÁS, ORGULLOSOS DE SER BARBZ
WE STAN A LEGEND QUEEN -
Aug 10, 2018Her best album to date, so far, she's proving why she's one of the greatest rappers of all time
-
Aug 10, 2018Her best album, BEST RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR, she's a genius and i love it, thank you Nicki for this MASTERPIECE! ♥
-
Aug 10, 2018Her best album. Queen is fkn iconic. Nicki Minaj reigns forever. The realest Queen of Rap.
-
Aug 12, 2018Minaj proves to be very thirsty for attention, desperately name dropping everyone in the industry for the hell of making an impact. Her whole album is trash, not even the over hyped “Barbie Dreams” is worth a listen. Just stream Dreams by Lil Kim instead, it’s obvious that’s who inspired the Minaj.
-
Aug 12, 2018There’s a very generic quality to this album. Constantly referencing herself as a trophy.
-
Aug 10, 2018Her best album to date, the amount of versatility the album has really makes this album a special one
-
Aug 10, 2018Is the Nicki Minaj best album. So amazing!!! She has the flow and empire also. Best Album ever. Especial lyrics. Iconic!!!
-
Aug 11, 2018Sorry if i buy a dozen eggs, i dont expect almost all of them to be cracked. Almost all of these songs are cracked. I tried to listen to more but i couldnt. This is the worst! Especially after all of the pushbacks. Highly anticipated and also highly disappointed. Yall tell the truth. You can love her and disapprove of this album. *sigh*
-
Aug 12, 2018Queen contributes some of the most uninteresting performances of Nicki’s career. When the highs come, they never last long enough to create a streak of excellence. By being painfully forgettable, Nicki Minaj has wasted the perfect opportunity to soar.
-
Aug 12, 2018This is truly an underwhelming, over hyped album. 19 tracks with 1 or two ok songs, that will likely not have radio impact due to the unreliable aspect, is not Queen worthy.
-
Aug 12, 2018The hype for this album is beyond my understanding, this album is an incohesive, lyrical, autotune mess. One of the worst hip hop albums in years.
-
Aug 10, 2018
-
Aug 12, 2018Nicki Minaj reveals just how insecure she is with her new album, Queen. Definitely not Queen status. She sounds very bitter. Most of her album isn’t radio friendly. Is this all that Nicki Minaj has to offer?
-
Aug 10, 2018
-
Aug 12, 2018Definitely not her best Album. I am kind of pissed It was over hyped and pure garbage. Only 1 good song and its only good cuz she name dropped rappers. Save your coins cuz its not worth it. Also an album called Queen should have no features.
-
Aug 13, 2018Album is whack !! cant believe fans waited four years to get this album... nothing was queen like on this album. no growth in her music ,just skip songs not one banger besides her diss song aka joke … rate this a -1
-
Aug 11, 2018This album is all the way ass...she need new subject matter how she rapping about the same things its pretty much a remix album...she gone be 50 rapping about the same thing with the same flow
-
Aug 12, 2018Nicki’s Queen is a long-winded disaster. She takes a never-ending route to prove she's hip-hop royalty but in the process of doing so highlights more flaws than flourishes. Most of the album consists of yawn-inspiring boasts that couldn’t stir a sleeping kitten from its slumber.
-
Aug 12, 2018This album yells desperation a mess
Consists of a whole empty brags
And another proof of her being the messy and cheap lil' kim knockoff -
Aug 10, 2018The first time i heard it i was like what the am i listening to' Once again leaving her roots of rap and hip hop she turned to pop music. Really BAD pop music. with poor lyricism and so much focus on beef, she once again focused on Lil' Kim and made this album solely on Kim... Re-evaluate your sound, and stop appeasing other outlets ans you will lose in the end.
-
Aug 10, 2018
-
Aug 11, 2018With this new album nicki take us to the old rap beats, she shows us how she can do every tipe of flow just eith a song, this album is gonna be always in our memories, thank’s for the art
-
Aug 10, 2018Absolute rubish, the dance tracks are so generic they are interchangeable among each other, and despite the rap tracks being slightly better, she falls hard with her gimmiks. Pass.
-
Aug 11, 2018There is no cohesiveness, no memorable moments. It’s Nicki’s most lackluster effort, topping Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
-
Aug 11, 2018this is not Pink Friday, no Roman Reloaded is much, much worse. I mean it is catastrophically bad. I counted 5 tracks on this album I liked, the rest was either filler or garbage. And I had the same total for Pink Friday too, the only

-
Aug 11, 2018Waited too long for something like this to come out. Too many people just brown nosing and trying to say it’s “artistic”. No, it’s not. I’m good luv, enjoy
-
Aug 12, 2018I would not be completely honest if I said I heard the whole album through, I fell asleep halfway through it. Nicki should really consider rebranding herself, this album is a musical sleep aid. I truly believe it has potential as an insomnia cure.
-
Aug 10, 2018
-
Aug 12, 2018Nicki claimed this was the best album of the year... where? It’s hardly a highlight of the year.
-
Aug 11, 2018
-
Aug 12, 2018Worst album of the year, a far cry from what it’s Queen title should represent.
-
Aug 12, 2018Yoh Philips review best summarizes my feelings regarding this album, “I forsee a hip-hop landscape where Nicki is talked about in the past tense. A queen of yesterday, and not the queen of tomorrow.”

-
Aug 10, 2018I hated it, this album is so boring and almost all of the songs has the same melody. I'm really disappointed after waiting 4 years for a new release. She talks about sex on almost every song. I really was expecting some growth from Nicki. She's always putting herself as ''queen of rap'', but this album shows otherwise.
-
Aug 10, 2018Unacceptable after waiting 4 years. There are 5 really good songs like Ganja burns, Barbie Dreams and Good Form, but the rest is really unbearable. She talks about the same topic (sex) on almost every song. I expected some growth from Nicki so I was really disappointed.
-
Aug 10, 2018Queen after waiting 4 years. There are 5 really good song ame topic (sex) on almost every song. I expected some growth from Nicki so I was really disappointed.
-
Dec 23, 2019This album gave us so many disses, bars, new flows, so many double entrede. This is billion times more epic than her first three albums.
-
Jan 10, 2020this is an amazing body of work. Nicki never disappoints! my favourite tracks are nip tuck, chun li and Miami.
-
Aug 11, 2018The Nicki Minaj's come back was the best thing this years. A powerful album w/ great songs and features. The Queen of Rap is back. Ooh ooh, back again.
-
Aug 10, 2018this album is a rap classic, nicki is a perfectionist knows what she does is the queen
-
Aug 10, 2018This is a iconic album of time. Nicki knows her fan always support her and in 4 years she works so hard so as to release masterpiece named herself. Every song every beat i hear i never skip.
-
Aug 13, 2018What a disappointment. This album is complete trash, I expected more from Nicki.
-
Aug 10, 2018EU SIMPLESMENTE AMEI ESTA DISCOGRAFIA TODAS AS MÚSICAS SÃO MARAVILHOSAS E MERECEM TOTAL RECONHECIMENTO PELA INDÚSTRIA FONOGRÁFICA DO MUNDO INTEIRO
-
Aug 13, 2018Not one good song in the whole album. Barbie Dreams is an overrated disaster.
-
Aug 12, 2018Queen is the worst album of the year for sure. For it to have taken 4 years and not be amazing, its just sad. Nice try Nicki. It might be succesful, but its still not your best work. Keep trying boo!
-
Aug 11, 2018She talks about the same topic (sex) on almost every song. I expected some growth from Nicki so I was really disappointed.
-
Aug 13, 2018No me gustó para nada el nuevo álbum yo esperaba mucho más de ella, hay más hipocresía que nada.
-
Aug 13, 2018I have to say that this album is her worst so far. I am a not a fan of hers but I feel like she's trying to hard to proof herself, The album has 19 songs and only 2 of them are decent to listen to. I waited 4 years for this album and this is what she gives her fans?? Now she's saying she wants to swap out two of the songs.
-
Aug 13, 2018
-
Aug 13, 2018Nicki sis what are you doing?? I love you but you disappointed me
-
Aug 13, 2018It’s horrible, not one good song. Barbie Dreams is ok, but that’s a cover....
-
Aug 13, 2018I'm sorry, but the album was horrible only 4 songs were good, nicki you decayed so much today you say to be the queen of rap but in fact it's a porn actress
-
Aug 13, 2018A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! A waste of a title bc it doesn’t live up to it’s name at all. Too many fillers. For someone who claims the title “Queen”, this is what you deliver? Back to the drawing board!
-
Aug 13, 2018This is proof that Nicki’s career peaked in 2014. Chun-li is the best song on the whole album.
-
Aug 13, 2018expected more from the so call queen , nothing screamed queen like more like angry and all over the place. dissing joking or not is whack to me st8 disrespectful FLOP NO BOP
-
Aug 13, 2018Not her best and nothing new. How do you call yourself a Queen but tear down others?
-
Aug 13, 2018This is her worse album. The songs are off beat and it just sounds like a bunch of noise. I was expecting something better, it doesn't worth the hype.
-
Aug 13, 2018Worst album in history. Her voice is annoying as always, I can’t stand her at all.
-
Aug 13, 2018Only 1 decent track. The remaining tracks are mediocre. Needs more mature content.
-
Aug 13, 2018It was trash... She is no Queen with that medicre album. Only like barbie dreams cuz its a remake from big and kim #Next
-
Aug 13, 2018Only 2 good songs but nothing i want to listen to everyday. She could have came a lot harder.
-
Aug 13, 2018GfrI'm good luv, enjoy! No originality EVER she needs safaree back cuz she struggling right now. Sad but only truth. This is not her year unfortunately.
-
Aug 14, 2018The best album of her career. Nice vibes, nice flows, rhymes, references... THE QUEEN OF RAP

-
Aug 11, 2018As a Nicki fan for over a decade I was more than apprehensive upon the roll out of Queen.
Any apprehension I had was thrown to the way-side after my first full listen of the album, Nicki exceeded all of my expectations and I'm very thankful to have experienced the release with her through apple music. -
Aug 11, 2018Many different songs that you never get bored of. Queen of rap did it again, with her best album so far!
-
Aug 12, 2018
-
Aug 11, 2018Queen? Where? This was a horrible album like all of her albums. All of Nicki Minaj’s music is mediocre to say the least. What happened to real rap?
-
Aug 31, 2018высер отврат говно тварь мерзавка сука потаскуха мерзость уебина страшила ненавижу
-
Aug 13, 2018It was very boring and forgettable. The whole album she just take **** at other female rappers and remind people that she’s the so called best. Like just have fun girl.
-
Aug 13, 2018Her stans are far worse than her haters and her album is bad as always. Mostly bad production and bad lyrics.
-
Aug 13, 2018This album shows why nicki is superior. This is the best body of work since pink friday i love how this album is just layered, and flows together they dnt make albums like this nomore.
-
Aug 13, 2018Nicki’s worst album thus far. Only good song is Barbie Dreams, why the stellar reviews it is beyond me. Very fishy...
-
Aug 13, 2018
-
Aug 13, 2018Worst album of 2018! The level of petty is outrageous. Had to name drop and diss every big name in the industry.
-
Aug 10, 2018Isn't her best work far away. A lot of features to get noticed, but the quality don't delivered. Using a lot of pop culture reference to conquer the public but don't match the track at all. BED there's nothing with the album. Sorry Nicki, but your album tittle don't give you the "queen of rap" title. Neither your album.
-
Aug 10, 2018this album is the best of onika tanya maraj omg,its perfect oh Nicki tank you so much queennnnnn. I'm dead
-
Aug 10, 2018nicki minaj never dissapoints, her flow is unmatched, thats why shes the queen of rap, congrats to her, amazing album.
-
Aug 10, 2018Nicki Minaj has to be the worst thing to ever happen to music. I listened to the album to see what all the hype was about, whilst listening to it i felt IQ pack up leave my head, it was so bad i felt myself become stupid listening to it.
-
Aug 12, 2018The biggest flop of the year.. First Katy Perry’s Witness in 2017, now this... what is happening?
-
Aug 10, 2018
-
Aug 10, 2018this album is incredibly beautiful the queen of rap surpassed herself, the queen of rap is back and she is showing it in this album I love it and it is super great
-
Aug 10, 2018She is the queen of rap and this proves it, the 19 song are good and your favs could never
-
Aug 10, 2018Came into this album not knowing what to expect, and finished with all of the songs saved to my spotifty. Nicki has proved time and time again that she is THAT GIRL. Try all you wan't to stop her or make it negative, but she is an artist who has proved time and time again that she is not a force to be reckoned with. I recommend this album to everyone!

-
Sep 10, 2018On Queen, Nicki spends a lot of time ordering beheadings--which are fun, but get old quick--rather than showing us why she is and should be queen. Here's to hoping the next album gives us a more earnest, more raw glimpse of the head that wears the crown.
-
Aug 20, 2018When Minaj leans into her untouchable strengths as a rapper, things get really exciting and an album of tracks as strong as "LLC" or "Barbie Dreams" would be one for the books. As it stands, however, Queen is another chapter of Minaj's good but largely meandering and inconsistent full-length album output.
-
Aug 20, 2018Queen's title implies it's meant to function as a coronation for one of the biggest rappers ever, but it's more the sound of Minaj fighting to keep that crown on her head.
