    Outdid herself. Nicki proved why she is the QUEEN OF RAP!!!! No other female in the game is this talented. Only negatives are Swae-Lee on Chun Swae and at time on Coco Chanel, Foxy was off beat

Nicki Minaj spent 4 years without releasing anything and when he returned, in addition to breaking the record of other rappers, he still showed that he is roaring in what he does and showed everyone who really commands the rap game. SHE IS A QUEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!! Expand

    A masterpiece.

    Although Nicki brags a lot on this album, I get it. She's been in the game for almost 10 years, and she's still doing the damn thing, still breaking records. The album is excellent, my personal favourites being LLC, Good Form, Ganja Burns and Majesty. Barbie Dreams is also a genius track.

    The queen is back and she really snapped on this one. Right off the bat Ganja Burns is a heavenly track with Nicki demonstrating her amazing singing voice. On Majesty, Labrynth sounds amazing and Em delivers his best performance in years, but it's Nicki that pulls the track together and makes it cohesive.

Very few skips and the attention to detail here is incredible. Expand

    The album has an innovative content but without leaving aside the quality we expect from Nicki Minaj, besides having great participations and fast verses, strong and dirty. It was a great turn to reaffirm who is the Queen of rap

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.

    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.

    On this album Nicki Minaj proves that she is not scared of testing new sounds, she doesn’t necessarily look to what’s hot or not right now. Even thought there are tracks like rich sex or sir, where we can listen to a more modern yet average trap sound, she goes out of her comfort zone. There are fun tracks like Barbie Dreams where we really can enjoy the clever lyrical content Nicki has.On this album Nicki Minaj proves that she is not scared of testing new sounds, she doesn’t necessarily look to what’s hot or not right now.

    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.
