    Minaj 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.

    There’s a very generic quality to this album. Constantly referencing herself as a trophy.

    Sorry 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*

    Queen 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.

    This 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.

    The 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.

    I'm not a huge fan of this genre of music anyway, but Nicki seems to have taken hip-hop/pop to a whole new level.Gone are the days of the greats; Run DMC and Beastie boys. Rappers like Eminem and Professor Green seem to be the only hope, the hip-hop genre has left.

Pretty talentless, with horrible songs and worst of all is completely full of herself. She first came to my attention with her terriblerip off of the Big Pink's - dominoes, on her previous album. Though while that was just bearable, this 2nd one is not. I mean Beez in the trap? Holy Christ alive - that should not be called music!!!… Expand

    Nicki 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?

    Nicki’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.

    The 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.

She tried to make a somewhat double album with two different feels but instead of pulling it off like Beyonce did she completely crashed and burn. She tried too grand of a scheme. She pulls off a few songs on the album though, I Am Your Leader was a standout as well as the pop songs Whip It and Pound The Alarm. Nicki shouldve distanced herself from "Pink Friday" as well as cut about 8 songs from the album. She should have refined herself and came back hard and strong. Instead she came back as messy, which shows on her atrocious album cover… Expand

I'll give her credit that she's trying to be diverse and trying to reach out for different sounds. It's just, to me, she failed at doing most of these sounds particularly well.

    The album is good, because it returns to its roots of hip hop. But the songs lack some spark, are too boring and repetitive. I think a good album but not the best. Expected to do an album like Azealia Banks, Broke With Expensive Taste, which is perfect and innovative, something is missing in The Pinkprint.
    The best songs: Pills N Potions, Anaconda and Feeling Myself.

    After a failed attempt at trying to resemble the look and sound of Lady Gaga with "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded", Nicki Minaj decides to go back to her more urban roots. Sadly she results in a tiring, flat-sounding, boring hip-hop record. The first five tracks are dull, and bring nothing to the table.

Sadly she results in a tiring, flat-sounding, boring hip-hop record. The first five tracks are dull, and bring nothing to the table. Then we get more up-tempo songs like "Anaconda" or "Truffle Butter" that come off as extremely sordid. Anything other than those two extremes are fillers and sound awfully like rejects from other big name rap artists. There is absolutely nothing good about this album. Nicki Minaj seems to think that she's "the baddest" but she's not. There are many female rappers, like Iggy Azalea, that have more talent in their fingers than Nicki Minaj has in overall.… Expand

    Yuck. 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

    I 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.

    Bubblegum, pop, dumb, non-sense, TERRIBLE lyrics, annoying voice, too much autotune, very very pop. I don't know why this is even classified as a hip-hop album. Between tracks 10-22 there's only bubblegum pop-dance club hits. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    Lyrically it's redundant. She still saying the same things she's has said in her past songs and features. That Coco Chanel track is the worst. Surely being in the industry for as long as she has she could have better sound quality. That track sounds like it was made in a garage studio.

    Following the previous 3 albums, "Queen" has not shown any growth in music. You'd expect a new era to start out with something different but there's clearly no advance considering the long hiatus between the previous album release.

    Horrora, está horrible, pienso que no es sano ni nada bueno oírlo, es una witness total igual de asqueroso como sus singles, es un álbum super flop en cambio su patrona cardi tiene muy buena crítica y 2 #1 en bb hot 100, por que ese álbum si es buena

    This is album is a pop album, not a hip hop album. If it is considered hip hop, then this album is garbage. I don't know what route she wanted to take but it's a total fail. This album is an easy skip or ignore for the year.

    I'm honest, Nicki can do better, or is better if i say, she can't do worse than this, this album is a collection of what's the problem of today's music, autotune, horrible rapping, crappy electronic beats and lyrics about drink and f*ck, this album should only be forgotten

    Bad, utterly trashy, and highly offensive. Nicki is a talentless witch who makes shoddy stereotypical rap songs such as partying, sex, drugs, etc. Also a terrible candidate for Sugilite from Steven Universe. Please stick to good rap artists such as Azealia Banks, Angel Haze, Dreezy, and Tkay Maidza.

    What 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.

    This album is such a disappointment. It feels rush it and most of the songs are skip able. Where is this woman empowerment that she keeps speaking about that supposed to be in this album? With these dollar generals fts. All this album was about dissing people. This is a 0/10 for me

    The worst album of the year. Barbz waiting two years for this garbage... Nicki Minaj doesn't respect her fans. This album has only 3 good songs - Coco Chanel, Chun-Li and Barbie Dreams, that's all. All another songs just like a piece of s***.

    Nicki makes me miss Kanye’s seven-song approach. Not even The Weeknd saved “Queen”, it’s a bland, incoherent mess. The album’s highlight “Barbie Dreams”, is a Lil Kim cover with a James Brown sample, which fails to do the originals justice.

    Unoriginal, mainstream, not worthy for real hip-hop fans. This album has destroyed her career as female rapper, and that's probably her last one. Period.

    The album seems to be misplaced. Nothing about it is memorable except for one song, Barbie Dreams, which Lil Kim was the first female to remake Notorious Big’s version. Therefore, it’s weird to know that she would feel comfortable doing a song with a concept that was already done by another female artist before her.

    Following the success of Pink Friday... Roman Reloaded, Minaj's Pinkprint just does not seem to justify the latter's success. There are a handful of good songs such as Get on Your Knees- however remains Minaj's weakest album to date.

    Ridiculous, 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

    On 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.

    When 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.

    Queen'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.
