    We need to thank Nicki Minaj for delivering one of the best albums of the year and the best Rap / Hip & Hop by a female rapper. A job worthy of grammy recognition!

She then bring some fun to the album with tracks like Barbie dreams where she jokes and take shots at all the relevant men rappers in the game today. She slows it down giving a piece of heart with tracks like Thought I knew you, Nip tuck, and Come see about me. And if you ever questioned who the QUEEN of hip hop is just listen to hard white, LLC, and Sir. There is not one track you want to skip. Some tracks you have to listen to multiple times due to the tea sis is spilling. Well done Queen Minaj!!… Expand

    The album has something for everyone. It's mainly hip-hop, but it also has pop, r&b, afrobeats, dancehall, etc. It's a mix of old Nicki and new Nicki.

If you want New Nicki then Hard White, Thought I Knew You, Good Form, 2 Lit 2 Late, Sir, Miami, and Coco/Inspirations are there. 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

    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

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.

Sticking to true to Dancehall & Rap influences, Queen stands as her least Pop-Influenced album. Not as confessional as 2014s The Pinkprint, Queen sees her sharing aspects of her personal life while also keeping the braggadocios swagger about her that fans have come to love. The Mike-Will-Madeit produced "Good Form" will definitely pick up where "Anaconda" left off, while tracks like "Run & Hide" are reminiscent of "I Lied". Though tracks like "Chun Swae" run a little too long, Queen features the best aspects of Nicki from throughout the years. Album standouts are "Ganja Burns", "Barbie Dreams", "Run & Hide", "Nip Tuck", "Come See About Me" & "Coco Channel".… Expand

Nearly all “HIP HOP” fans of this generation are on the trap music/lit bop wave. I’m s sad majority of people don’t listen to music for the artistry or the lyricism anymore just the sound of the beat and how popular it is on the chart. Thankfully Minaj doesn’t let anyone of that influence her and her music as a true artist! She has shown so much growth and has proved herself to be the BEST in the game time and time again. She has continuously defied the odds and will continue to do so.

    Minaj shows why she's Queen, delivering a cohesive body of work that's unlike any other sounds currently out on radio. The album is display of her lyrical skill from delivering heavy punchline, versatile flows and word play. Queen is best summed up as the best parts of her last (3) projects but elevated from raps to ballads.

    The album was great! It solidifies why Nicki is a staple in the hip hop community. Plus she gives versatility with the album. It was truly an experience.

    One of the best albums this year, and also her best work up to date.. She really went off, snapped with punchlines, flow and delivery, overall a great work of art and it's definitely worth it's price. Queen never stepped off her throne, 10/10

    Es un álbum en el cual la reina del rap demuestra todas sus habilidades como compositora mezclando sonidos que aveces el álbum pierde la cohesión de un track con otro, pero algo que si nos queda claro es que la reina del rap viene con toda.

You cant believe everything you see on the internet, because at the end of the day, we are all looking inside from the outside, no matter the source!

Maintaining her integrity as a true artist/lyricist whilst also keeping the playfulness and animation we love her for. Many tracks stand out, the singles fall in place very well and I would say it is cohesive. People saying otherwise simply do not like Nicki, or her singing and are clutching at straws for critique in my opinion. At this point in the industry, i wouldn't consider cohesion particularly important in any event. Majesty, Barbie Dreams, Good Form, LLC and Coco Chanel are particularly noteworthy. I'm impressed, well done Nicki.… Expand

Yall are a bunch of sheep that follow the Nicki hate trend because yall think it’s “cool” or wanna be down. QUEEN is the best album of the year from Majesty to Run & Hide to Coco Chanel with the iconic Foxy Brown. The wait was worth it Onika delivered and every single track is golden. None of the rap girls are seeing Nicki Minaj and that’s just that, The same ones giving QUEEN low ratings the same **** that be caping for IOP when it’s just a mix of unoriginal quick bops and no real authentic hip hop content.

    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.
