    The best rap album dropped this year, Nicki Minaj showed again that she is the Queen Of Rap. The best tracks are Majesty, Barbie Dreams, Come See About Me, Good Form and Chun Swae and the best feautings are from Eminem, Swae Lee and Foxy Brown who killed that **** but all the songs are incredible. The Queen Is Back!

    This album is a very crazy and delicious mix to hear!!!
    Has heavy rap, has rap classic, has trap, has romantic sounds, featurings and a epic transition the last two tracks. HAVE QUALITY RAP! nd it is worth reinforcing that no female rapper can leave a public waiting 4 years for an album.

    After a 4 year hiatus, Nicki Minaj delivers a project that certifies her status as the Queen of Rap.

I've been listening to this album literally all day, and it's so far one of the best of 2018. I prefer The Pink Print, but this is a good album. It does it's job and shows that Nicki is the Queen. All the people that stated that she doesn't write her own **** (wrong), that she has only one flow (wrong), that she isn't hip-hop (wrong), etc. I wish I could go into more detail on the songs, but there's not enough space. Basically, I think this is such a great album. I think there's something for everyone. It pays a lot of tribute to classic hip-hop (examples: Biggie, 50 Cent, Lauryn Hill, Mobb Deep, etc.) It has a bunch of new and interesting sounds. The production is amazing and everything on this album. The cover art is beautiful. Any problems with this album are honestly with some of the features. Because, Nicki sounds great. I've seen a lot of people who aren't even fans of Nicki listen to this album and love this album. Nicki worked hard on this, and you can tell, because it sounds great. I like all th songs, but the songs I would totally recommend are Ganja Burns, Majesty, Barbie Dreams, Rich Sex, Hard White, Chun-Li, LLC, Good Form, and Coco Chanel.… Expand

    A 10! A 0! Another 10! Another 0!

    Scroll through the user reviews and that's what you'll see. Unfortunately this means you won't get objectivity, since many Barbz surely swoop in and rate a 10 - and haters a 0 - without even listening. I'm a Nicki super fan, but even taking that hat off I can say the album is fire. 'Ganja Burns' and 'Hard White' have some of the best verses of    A 10! A 0! Another 10! Another 0!

    I'm a Nicki super fan, but even taking that hat off I can say the album is fire. 'Ganja Burns' and 'Hard White' have some of the best verses of her career. 'Coco Chanel' will make your speakers (and ears) burst with glee from the insane beat and hard bars. Then put on 'Sir' with Future for a completely different delivery. And if you like softer Nicki, 'Come See About Me' will be your jam.

    Is the album perfect? Of course not. Chun Swae is too long, and a few others (i.e. 'Run and Hide') haven't grown on me yet.

    After 4 years and sky high expectations, I am thrilled with the results. Easily the tightest wordplay of her career, great production value, and 17 songs to choose from. Excellent.    … Expand

    A cohesive, mature, and well rounded body of work. Nicki Minaj goes above and beyond to introduce new sounds, diverse songs, and unexpected features, all tied together masterfully with her spitfire flow and witty lyrics.

    All tracks are on point. Each track contains different levels of lyricism, may it either be upbeat or not. Overall, the album exceeded its standards and is one of the best albums to date.

    This album is LEGENDARY. SHE STILL REMAIN AS A QUEEN OF RAP. Each song made me "feel" certain way and if a song don't make YOU feel then is a flop, but all 19 songs made me feel, it was ICONIC I loved it. Her LEGACY WILL NEVER BE UNDONE. AND CONGRATS TO NICKI AND HER TEAM THIS ALBUM IS EPIC. And I'll keep streaming all 19 songs in all the platform.

    The most anticipated premiere of the year. It's so interesting to read Haight from cardy fans who are trying to understate the scores. A lot of very cool tracks that you want to dance. As many legends on the album, from Eminem, to Fox. I bet 10 out of 10 because I deserve it. And Yes, rate the music not because of fanaticism, but because of their tastes. Stop making a paid war for the label.

    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.
