    Álbum magnifico, a rainha do rap conseguiu reunir tudo o que já fez de melhor desde suas mixtapes, o título "Queen" faz jus total ao álbum e a sua produção que vai de hip-hp raiz, passa pelo R&B até batidas mais pesadas de trap, além de ótimos versos dos artistas nas músicas com participações..

    This album will definitely go down as one of Nicki’s best albums. Overall, the album is diverse ranging from all different kinds of genres including; dancehall Caribbean, trap, pop, hip hop, etc. and Nicki’s lyricism is unmatched. Highly recommend tracks like Barbie Dreams, Hard white, LLC and Chun swae. But the whole album is worth listening to.

    In "Queen" we see a more experimental side of Nicki Minaj.

    This is not only the best album of the year but easily the best album of the whole decade.
    Nicki once again proved that she's the best rapper of the generation.

    A great body of work. I am very surprised by how well this album was put together. I'm not a Barb but this has pulled me to Nicki Minaj's side.

    Queen and The Pinkprint are her best albums. On this album, Nicki wanted to show that no rapper is touching her: she keeps on switching flows and she is the most versatile rapper of all time. Male or female. PERIOD.

    The Album was amazing. She showed again why she is the reigning queen of rap. Theres a track for every mood you’re in. It’s not as Cohesive as it should be but she delivered punchlines, spit harder than 90% of rappers today, gave the listeners different vibes, and even sang for some tracks in which she showed her abilityes to use her vocals to her advantage. The Barbie Dreams joint is crazy.

    After being critiqued in 2017, the GP thought that Nicki has loosed her crown. Words of many of non-Nicki fan, Nicki was “over, cancelled” and they also pretended that the new rap-girl Cardi B was the “new” Queen of Rap.

    Due to the high controversy with the Cardi story, she was hurted by the online comments and the fact that many people painted her as the bad guy in that story. Many rumors say that all that stuff was made by Atlantic, they are known for offered many contracts to build a “New” Nicki Minaj in order to bury the actual Queen of Rap

    During her hiatus, she made a retrospection of herself. She wanted to concentrate her energy to her work, without the meanness of the social media and the distraction related.

    A good decision? Let’s see.

    With the release of Chun-Li and Barbie Tingz in April 2018, she makes a strong comeback. Chun-Li peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 making her song the highest charted solo song by a female rapper in 2018.

    Due to the high expectation of the GP and her fans, she made her own Radio show called “Queen Radio” on Beats 1. She played her 4th album right here in the morning at the same moment of the release of Queen. The “Queen Radio” breaks the Beats 1 record for being the most listened show.

    Queen shows the perfect versatility of Nicki Minaj. As her words in the Queen Radio, we can really hear the combination of each greatest side of her past albums. Indeed, her 4th album shows her power, her vulnerability, and her lyricism during the listening. Her pen is definitely unmatched.

    The tracklist choices make the Nicki Minaj’s last album a perfect one. Travelling into different type of feelings, Queen has his place on the best rap album's list in this century.

    Once again, she proove that she's the only Queen of Rap.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Queen is back again and some may say that she has come to reclaim her throne, but did she ever lose it in the first place? After nearly 4 years Minaj is back with a powerhouse of an album, 19 tracks full of pure bars, sick flows, fantastic production, and lyrical vocals. The intro Ganja Burn sets the stage for the album with Minaj stating that she is continually perfecting her craft and every rhyme she spits is her own and no amount of hate can take her down, she will reign supreme. The album has tracks for everyone. You want hard songs with raw verses, check out Hard White. You need something lowkey and easy, Run & Hide. Get up and dance, Good Form. Cry your eyes out, Come See About Me. It is clear why her fans and many other critics have collectively called Queen her best work so far. Every track shows Minaj's dedication, expertise, and taste and it is clear all her effort was put into her grand return. Expand

    Love Her album let haters hate cause we coming for the win. When 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!

She holds her own against every female rapper currently in the game on stand out tracks like Barbie dreams, hard white, and LLC. Her verses here extremely well written and show her metaphoric side and she uses tropes and schemes like repetition, anaphora, alliteration, and synecdoche to add a sense of poetry to her work. Although the album is a 19 track work, each song is a justification of her undeniable song writing talent, and her theatrical musical expressions Expand

On tracks like Barbie Dreams, a fun track poking fun at her rap colleagues, she introduces a new audience to the works of The Notorious B.I.G. sampling "Dream" and her unique rap style at the end of the song. The amount of intelligence goes unrecognized and will give "artists" like Cardi B or Drake praises for being mediocre in every way. Expand

    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.
