    Great album overall. She amazingly showcased her raw rapping skills. the songs all have a purpose on the album and the flow is smooth (very cohesive). top lyricism and incredible beats. the production is next level and the sound is different.

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

    After a four year abstinence from releasing an album, Nicki Minaj has asserted her position as Queen of the Rap game. Starting off with a catchy melody that develops into a flow that perfectly suits the album, Nicki's collection of music is highly developed, crafted and flows extremely well.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Escrota. Não sei como pode lançar um LIXO desse e se autotitular Rainha do Rap. A verdadeira Rainha do Rap é a Cardi B. Nicki mulestada. Nojenta anti-feminista. Escorada e desesperada .

    Miss Minaj did not come to play. She snapped in this album. No one can take this Queen's spot. She is the Queen of Rap and she will continue to dominate be it on the charts or music quality. That's all I have to say.

    This album has really solidified Nicki as the Queen of rap. I love the variety on the album from the slower Come See About Me to the Biggie inspired Barbie Dreams. The album is full of bars and it really demonstrates Nicki's talents. Her best body of work to date.

    I LOVE this album. The more and more I listen to it the more I enjoy it. Queen Minaj uses her wit and raw talent to make what I think is her greatest album. Each song on the album has amazing lyrics and flows. The best songs on the album for me are "Good Form" and "Barbie Dreams" and there are little to no filler songs on the album.

    По моему мнению, в данном альбоме много скучных песен. Только нескольким интересным исполнениям поставил наиболее высокую оценку: "Good Form" и "Chun-Li". Надеюсь, в будущем у неё будут ещё действительно неплохие альбомы.

    На альбоме есть несколько песен, которые действительно можно послушать и переслушать : Chun Li, Good Form, LLC , Coco, Sir, Hard White - лучшие с альбома, однако остальные настолько плохи, что тянут весь альбом вниз.

    Nicki Minaj's Queen is a very good album indeed. The album proved her talent and secured her place as one of the elites of rap. All of the tracks from Ganja Burn until the last all have the potential to be very good individual songs. However, there are some honest downsides. The album is not that cohesive, featuring tracks that do not go with each other very well. For example, I believeNicki Minaj's Queen is a very good album indeed.

However, there are some honest downsides. The album is not that cohesive, featuring tracks that do not go with each other very well. For example, I believe that Bed featuring Ariana Grande and Rich Sex featuring Lil Wayne should have instead been released as individual songs as promo for the album instead of putting it in the album itself. Also some songs like Chun Swae, while very good, are too long. Nicki should have made it a bit shorter and removed the unnecessary adlibs at the end or at least shortened it. Also, she should have collated the R&B and Rap into separate sides like Drake or at least removed the songs that don't classify with either and released as individual songs. Overall though, while not her best (I still believe that The Pinkprint is her best album), this is a very good album that showcases her lyrical and musical prowess. 'Queen' truly is an album title fitting for the Queen of Rap! Expand

    Com músicas ótimas, dignas de elogio ao rap da "Rainha do Rap", Nicki nos entregou "Queen". Com muita briga envolvida, cheio de feats com rappers pedófilos, machistas e homofóbicos, o álbum desconexo e sem seguir algum tema específico, a não ser a grandiosidade da Onika e de sua B*ceta.
    Destaque: "Majesty" por ser uma ótima música, tirando o Machista-Homofóbico do Eminem. E claro

    É o Álbum da Rainha do Rap. O Álbum do Ano. O Melhor Álbum de Rap de Sempre. Há mais algum título apropriado para esta obra de arte? Sim, há, mas acho que todos vocês já sabem o que eu quero dizer com esta crítica. Nicki Minaj está no auge da sua carreira e conseguiu produzir um álbum fantástico, inteligente, coerente, coeso e com participações estonteantes.

    After a long wait (4 years), several delays, strong backlash and after the masterpiece that was The Pinkprint, I thought this album would be a mess. I was SO wrong. 17 songs and ALL of them are amazing. Good Form, Ganja Burn and LLC are rap bops. This album is her masterpiece.

From the atmospheric "ganja burns" or the goosebumps giving "majesty " that has Eminem freshest flow in recent memory. It's fun getting to see Nicki have so much fun with her music as she relishes her spot as the queen of rap like on the playful roast on "Barbie dreams" that takes **** at her peers behund a notorious B.I.G sample. Overall it was a long but enjoyable experience that I'd personally recommend to new listeners over her previous work. 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.
