    Amazing work of art. She’s a great artist and this album shows her growth. People expected club bangers but instead she focused on her lyrics and her growth as an artist. Impressive! 100% Bars. The homage to Biggie is everything

    Minaj promised and delivered. First time listens can be quite deceiving so after a few listens I definitely feel that this album hit the mark. "Queen" had high expectations without a doubt, especially following "The Pinkprint", nonetheless it blends the classic feel with incredible beats and impeccable lyrics. The only hiccup for me would be that each track delivers a similar topic, thoughMinaj promised and delivered.

    The entire album has got only two skips. That means out of NINETEEN songs, only two I find not fitting for the album. I think Nicki, once again, proved that she is simply one of the best rappers in the rap game and definitely unbeatable in the female rap game. This album has surpassed all expectations and I'm beyond excited to see how it will do.

Nevertheless, we cannot diminish the artistic input of Queen; While not offering so many obvious stand-outs (Being Bed, Ganja Burns or Coco Chanel some of the best moments), this record is certainly a great effort in the Hip Hop and Urban field, coming from a rapper further stretching her capabilities as a rhymer and lyricist, thus making Queen a commendable record in her catalog.

    So before I listened to this album, I briefly skipped through the previous 3 albums to see how far Nicki has actually come. Whilst her record sales have proven how much of a queen Nicki really is, it isn’t till you really start paying attention to detail between every album of how talented she actually is also.

    So before I listened to this album, I briefly skipped through the previous 3 albums to see how far Nicki has actually come. Whilst her record sales have proven how much of a queen Nicki really is, it isn’t till you really start paying attention to detail between every album of how talented she actually is also.

    If you look back onto Pink Friday, all the way back in 2010, compared to now, Nicki is a completely different artist. In a good way too. You listen to this album and you really can see how much she has matured in her music, and it’s safe to say that her humbleness really shows in her music too.

    In terms of this album. Was it worth the 4 year wait? Absolutely. The Pink Friday, and the Roman Reloaded eras were really something special, because it was great to see a huge female rapper be celebrated and do so successfully in the way that she was and did. The Pinkprint was that bridge of channelling her old self but also trying to still be fresh without leading to astray from who she really is, but if you fast forward onto this album and that’s where things really change. I feel like now, we are getting the iconic Nicki. I feel this album is going to change the way people see female rappers in the music industry, and I feel like this is also going to change the way people see Nicki in the music industry. She took a complete risk with this album, because this album wasn’t what anybody was expecting. She kept her witty writing skills, and her own flow, but turned up the heat with the messages of the songs, and the sound.

    With this album I feel it’s going to pave the way for so many young and upcoming artists not only in female rap, not only in hip-hop, but I feel a lot of people will look at this album and see Nicki as a beacon to not change who you are, keep doing what you’re doing, and one day, you could have this outcome of having this type of album, because even though I personally love all of Nicki’s albums, this is the first album where as a female rapper, I have seen maturity, time, wit, and a lot of dedication. Not that I never saw that before, but I felt like at times even Nicki didn’t know what type of female rap artist she wanted to be, and now she does, you see that reflection come out in her music, and that is inspirational.

    This album will be looked back in the future as an album that helped define the future careers of female rappers and other artists in the future. Welcome back Nicki.

    Esse album é tão real, tão bem feito, os versos, letras, produçao, digno da eterna rainha do rap, que vai contrapartida da industustria e lança um album com rap raiz, trap e r&b, passando por todos esses generos com uma forma sutil de se ouvir

    This album was far better than I even expected. I love how she attacked her ‘Queen’ concept from different POVs, while attacking the genre of Hip Hop from every angle possible. Even down to the order of the tracklist, it was so smooth. I was never never bored one minute during this album. There’s literally something for everyone. Best album of her career. Best album of 2018, no doubt. RapThis album was far better than I even expected.

    The album is relatively good. It has some flaws. I wish Nicki would've been more raw and real and cut off some of the songs that were made only to be radio hits and be catchy and generic. The album is still nice, my favourite track is Ganja Burns.

    Most rappers NEVER top their debut album. Today? I believe Ms. Minaj has outdone ALL of her albums. Sonically, Lyrically, creatively? There isn't an album that has been released in the last few YEARS that can compare/surpass. Nicki's reign as the queen of rap and hip hop is timeless and like none other.

    Nicki showed us exactly why she was the Queen of Hip Hop, She made an album that sounds completely different from anything else that is out. Versatile, not just a radio album, but an ALBUM! Respect the Queen.

    Queen by Nicki Minaj is exactly what a female rapper needed to do. This album is so complet in lyricism, flow, it' so smart! Is a versatile album where she rescues herself from the old to the new Nicki in the best way and the most important it's not a boring album.

    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.
