    Horrible album! From beginning to end there is no good song. “Barbie Dreams” is a Lil Kim cover with stolen punchlines.

    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.

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

    Nicki Minaj again gives us something totally new compared to her previous work, with Queen we can see that she is still keen on her word game and adaptations with the most different flows. The album has a very cohesive central structure and does not fire its concept in any band. If this is not Nicki's best job, it's definitely one of the best.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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"

    If you do not think this album is a classic, you probably do not understand anything about Hip & Hop. This is perfection, it reminded me of the mixtapes era!

    This is just full of overrated and generic garbage. I will never respect a pathetic and talentless hack that is Nicki Minaj. *snore*

    Nicki Minaj once again showing us what a real rap is, no matter how long it stays off, when it comes back it will always reign again

    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.
