    With her 4th album 'Queen' Nicki Minaj has shown to everybody her skilful and talented soul, jumping from her Pop side to the one more Hip-Hop Under ground.
    I really loved this album and I would recommend to anyone who enjoy urban music in general, specially Hip-Hop/Rap.

    This album is a thought provoking masterpiece that is so ahead of its time and is revolutionary to the rap industry. It is a deeply inspiring piece of work and can be rightfully given the title of one of the greatest albums of all time and will influence and bless the ears of those that have the intelligence and mental capability to listen

    There is a pretty diverse catalogue of songs on this lengthy album, which I believe is the standard for Nicki Minaj. She has remixed the “Dreams” track from Biggie and Lil Kim and turned it into a modern version. This album, by the way, did feel rushed. It felt like Minaj had to scramble a couple of different sounding tracks in order to produce an album she has promised to release for fourThere is a pretty diverse catalogue of songs on this lengthy album, which I believe is the standard for Nicki Minaj. She has remixed the “Dreams” track from Biggie and Lil Kim and turned it into a modern version. This album, by the way, did feel rushed. It felt like Minaj had to scramble a couple of different sounding tracks in order to produce an album she has promised to release for four years. She also attempted to adapt to the modern trap sound, and for my personal preference, I dislike the analogousness of trap music since it’s the same recycled beats implemented for every song we hear.

    She exerted her R&B moments which I enjoyed, with the “troubled relationship” vibes coming from tracks such as “Come See About Me” and “Run and Hide.”
    She raps cockily about her skills and achievements in tracks like LLC, and collaborated with another female New York MC: Foxy Brown, on the melodic, bassy instrumental of “Coco Chanel.” I am indeed one of Nicki Minaj’s biggest fans, so I was at least satisfied with the fact that she had finally released an album. Could it have been better? Yes. Is it overall a horrible album? No.

    And as I see some of the biased, hateful and uninformative reviews on here, I just want to comment that it is normal for a rapper to brag about their sexual encounters and other achievements career-wise and personally. Male or female. And not every rap song you hear has to have the same theme involving money, sex and drugs.

    Overall, the album is a solid 8, maybe a 7.9. Nicki Minaj will continue to thrive if she takes her time and keeps pushing her pen, lyrically providing her fans with more creatively-worded puns and metaphors.    … Expand

    The tracks bring me the purest hip-hop sound I can hear, and with strong beats that brings experience of being in the middle of Nicki's show. The production is well controlled, taking out those tedious tracks and seems to be out of order, behind heavy productions to its totally good compositions and pegactive choruses that makes anyone roll and dance to nicki's sound. She's good at what she does.

Pero sin cuidarse de ser modesta en absoluto, Queen ostenta calidad y consistencia, pero es en realidad es un intento muy forzado que falla en satisfacer a su público en general, y que deja en evidencia que Nicki se niega a aceptarlo.

    Minaj trata de probarse a ella misma que es más que las canciones pop decoradas con rimas y beats procesados para un simple rendimiento comercial que acostumbra a “cantar”. Queen trata de reclamar su legado restante para no quedar en el cementerio de artistas pop clichés. Si bien su transición de las rimas bubble gum al rap duro y áspero fue un movimiento demasiado calculado y quizás un poco aletargado, Nicki necesitaba volver a enamorar a sus oyentes. Pero el producto entregado es solo un esfuerzo demasiado desesperado para no quedarse atrás. Come to See about Me, una canción de rompimiento que simplemente termina siendo PIlls And Potions 2.0 y una brusca excusa de escuchar a Nicki cantar algo sentimental, es ligera y suave. Agradable pero solo para su base de fans más dura. Barbie Dreams, una de las pocas composiciones salvables en el álbum, pero que cuestiona la dirección tomada en cuanto a producción. Y resulta tan ambiguo ver tracks como Majesty y Bed dentro del álbum aun estando acompañados de artistas como Eminem y Ariana Grande. Coco Chanel es una especie de cierre del álbum, junto con la sexy y veterana Foxxy Broww, pero termina disgustando a fin de cuentas: “ellas quieren coco, y yo tampoco”. Rapea Ninaj en español sin tener idea de lo que está diciendo. Tampoco ninguno de los que lleguen a escuchar Queen.

    Queen no se cansa de buscar algo de aprobación, lo irónico es que la Chun Li del rap se cuestione a estás alturas si tiene algo que probar.

    Puntaje: 10/100

    Na versão mais rap apresentada até hoje por nicki, mais ainda que The Pinkprint, Queen é um álbum ousado, com um ritmo viciante, alguns toques de pop, mas que poderiam ter sido feito alguns ajustes.

    Queen Is A Body Of Work That Is Great In Every Way.... Which Doesn’t Give Off A Legendary Vibe, But It Shows Nicki Lyrical Side. Considering The Countless Bars, Punchlines, Flows, Nicki Is In Her Prime In All Of It. Not to leave out her honorable Features ; Emineim, Future, Lil Wayne, Foxy Brown etc;. Queen Will Go Down As One Of The Best Female Rap Albums Ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album “Queen” is Nicki Minaj’s latest album after the Pinkprint from 2014. It included truffle butter, a very good club song, and the iconic Anaconda, which is now almost at 1 Billion streams on YouTube. I am a very big fan of Nicki Minaj and I am a Barb. However, this album left me a little bit disappointed. With 19 different tracks on an album it seemed rather to good to be true. The album starts off with an African type Reggae beat song, Ganja Burn. The duration is 4:54, which is mostly the beat and stale lyrics at the end. Majesty takes the second track and is a good song with top notch lyrics. My favorite song of the album is Barbie Dreams which Nicki explains how the men in the rap game can’t get with her. I think it has very hard lyrics and I like how it has a creative ending to it. Rich Sex is very good on Nicki’s part but has a very strange Lil Wayne verse that doesn’t tie the song altogether well. The 5th song Hard White has outstanding lyrics, but you can tell Nicki is becoming lazy with vocals as there is a substantial amount of auto tone. So far, I was happy with this album, until all of these filler tracks come into play. Run & Hide, Miami, 2 Lit 2 Late interlude, Come See About me. These tracks showed a lot of disinterest in vocals and lyrics when played. If Nicki would have taken these songs out it would have been an awesome album. The songs I did enjoy were Chun-Ali, Barbie Tingz, LLC, and Good Form. Those 4 songs were outstanding and showed Nicki’s true talent with lyrics and writing. The problem with this album is that it seems that Nicki was too focused on her competition rather than her album. Her team seemed to be unprofessional as well when planning her songs such as, delays of songs, and the album. All in all, I give this album a 6/10. I definitely think Nicki can come back with a better album in the upcoming years, because she is the queen of rap and nobody takes her crown.… Expand

    when Nicki Minaj said 'I am the queen of rap' she knew what she was saying, she made one of the best rap albums of all time, Minaj knows what she is doing,She will soon become a rap legend and any other rapper will think that someone else is ready to be a new queen but that will not happen, no one will achieve what Nicki has done,Sorry but everyone should know "QUEEN" it's a perfect rap album

    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.
