    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"

    I’ve been Nicki fan since the start, but I can’t lie. Her album is a complete disaster, nothing compares to prior albums. I really tried liking it, Barbie Dreams is a good album track, not a single. It’s really the best song off the album, and it’s very disappointing.

    Well, it's her worst album of his entire career, it started well with the first two-three songs and then it became so horrendous, repetitive lyrics, sounds that had already been heard, an album with lots of stuffings, the truth is very bad and very disappointed.

    Nicki Minaj being a pioneer for female rap is still caring on her legacy as one of the greats Mc’s of all time. Queen brought so much hardcore lyrical content and the cohesiveness of the project was everthing. I’m not giving her a 10 because I’m a fan. I’m giving this protect a 10 because it’s what it deserves.

    Nicki Minaj at his worst, worst album
    nothing commercial, all surface to appear to be a rapper she is not
    nothing commercial, talking vulgar or futile things to sell as it did when I was crazy outfits and wigs roses
    trying to be Katy Perry or Lady Gaga
    nicki, on your next album will make you an alter ego or will turn white as iggy? so you can get a number one on the billboard
    boring

    The same method used in Pink Friday: Roman Reload. In one half of the album, she is a **** in another she's the Pop/Rap's Princess. It's obvious that I like the track "All Things Go" opening the work and the other songs like "Pills and Potions" and "Bed of Lies". "Get on your Knees" and "Feeling Myself" let me down. And I hated the masturbation wheel in "Truffle Butter".

    The album is not good. Just seems like she's trying so hard. She wants to prove she's the "Queen" when really she ain't it. She really needs to retire she's to old to be rapping about 2010 stuff.

    After I heard what Nicki said about Drake on her album I will never support her again. The fact that she had to diss all these people on her song just to make a "hit" is sad. Please Nicki think twice before mentioning the King.

    Sin tan sólo logrará cantar en vivo como canta en el disco, tal vez sería una experiencia más agradable, el rap de Minaj poco aporta a la industria, su carrera se hace notar más por los escándalos que por el talento que posee

    This is her fourth album, yet there is no growth. It's the same braggadocio, but with little to no substance. At least on her previous album, she addressed real life and relatable situations. This inaptly titled album just features the same tired features, tired bars, and insignificant industry beef.

The outro is also unnecessary and at 19-tracks, this album is way too long and full of fillers. The only fun and good moments of this album include "Good Form" and "Chun-Li" but that's about it.

    All in all, this album is disappointing. It's time to come up with something new, Nicki.

    Con solo la muestra de Nicki presumiendo estar #1 en tendencias con la palabra “Queen” haciendo alusión a su álbum sin deducir el más mínimo razonamiento que la palabra iba referida a la popular banda debido al éxito del filme biográfico y no a ella, queda perfectamente claro como Nicki considera su trabajo superior al de otros.

Pero sin cuidarse de ser modesta en absoluto, Queen ostenta calidad y consistencia, pero es en realidad es un intento muy forzado que falla en satisfacer a su público en general, y que deja en evidencia que Nicki se niega a aceptarlo.

    Minaj trata de probarse a ella misma que es más que las canciones pop decoradas con rimas y beats procesados para un simple rendimiento comercial que acostumbra a “cantar”. Queen trata de reclamar su legado restante para no quedar en el cementerio de artistas pop clichés. Si bien su transición de las rimas bubble gum al rap duro y áspero fue un movimiento demasiado calculado y quizás un poco aletargado, Nicki necesitaba volver a enamorar a sus oyentes. Pero el producto entregado es solo un esfuerzo demasiado desesperado para no quedarse atrás. Come to See about Me, una canción de rompimiento que simplemente termina siendo PIlls And Potions 2.0 y una brusca excusa de escuchar a Nicki cantar algo sentimental, es ligera y suave. Agradable pero solo para su base de fans más dura. Barbie Dreams, una de las pocas composiciones salvables en el álbum, pero que cuestiona la dirección tomada en cuanto a producción. Y resulta tan ambiguo ver tracks como Majesty y Bed dentro del álbum aun estando acompañados de artistas como Eminem y Ariana Grande. Coco Chanel es una especie de cierre del álbum, junto con la sexy y veterana Foxxy Broww, pero termina disgustando a fin de cuentas: “ellas quieren coco, y yo tampoco”. Rapea Ninaj en español sin tener idea de lo que está diciendo. Tampoco ninguno de los que lleguen a escuchar Queen.

    Queen no se cansa de buscar algo de aprobación, lo irónico es que la Chun Li del rap se cuestione a estás alturas si tiene algo que probar.

    Puntaje: 10/100

    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.
