    The album was fire I loved it. Megan showed true growth from the Rich Rachtet days to now. Megan showed versatility and exemplified plenty of different flows and styles. Every song was different it went from Dancehall,Trap,Twerk,Hardcore,Pop, and Bounce music.

    She did what she had to do. She said what she had to said. She dragged who she had to drag! She served and left no crumbs. Personally, there are no skips for me. I love how her flow switched up multiple times. I'm honestly so proud of her and I wish her good luck and success. More fortunes to come, Megan Thee Stallion

    Some of these users came just to hate after seeing her get good critic scores lol. This album is versatile and shows her range. It’s fun, sexy, and impressive. The production is amazing. Great samples and hard bars. Very proud of megan. Some people were wishing on her downfall but this album proves she’s here to stay.

    Megan Thee Stallion has exceeded all our expectations. She is an icon. She’s a legend. She’s a princess. She’s a role model. She never fails at anything she does. She’s one of most beautiful women to stand on this earth. She is flawless. Megan is the moment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Megan, demuestra una vez más que tiene todo para ser una RAPERA. También, deja en claro que no va a necesitar colgarse de otros géneros como Doja Cat (R&B y Pop). No armen bardo, ya sabemos que Nicki siempre será la reina, pero no por siempre. Acepten que todas las mujeres merecen tener su ÉXITO y su CORONA. Pronto veremos ese grammy a "Mejor álbum de RAP". Doja Cat, no es competencia para Megan. Doja no RAPEA.… Expand

    It’s an extremely catchy album with a few hits, a few misses, and a lot in between. My only criticism would be that it doesn’t show much range but Megan has so much potential and I can’t wait to see what she produces next.

    Good News is Megan's debut but it feels like it feels like she has been around for a while, with a few mixtapes under her belt. Good News presents the same fiery, confident , sensual and explicit Megan that we have gotten to know from her mixtapes. It is a fairly good record as she delivers her sex-positive raps, she unloads on her detractors and flaunts her Texas origins. Most of theGood News is Megan's debut but it feels like it feels like she has been around for a while, with a few mixtapes under her belt. Good News presents the same fiery, confident , sensual and explicit Megan that we have gotten to know from her mixtapes. It is a fairly good record as she delivers her sex-positive raps, she unloads on her detractors and flaunts her Texas origins. Most of the songs are of course about being good at sex and acquiring wealth which is in the same as her other releases. Sonically she offers some hard core hip hop beats which make for a good dance session or an evening drive. She invites DaBaby, City girls, Lil Dirk, SZA, Big Sean to deliver some epic collaborations. Not forgetting the great singles she released throughout the year such as Girls in the Hood and Savage. She also samples artists such as Jazmine Sullivan, Juvenile, Eazy-E AND B.I.G, and all the samples are really good. I just feel like the album did not need to be as long as it is, there are some songs which are lyrically and sonically very similar they did not need to all make the album, she could have combined them and made a bop. In my opinion its 17 track album with 12 or 13 great songs. Nonetheless its a very cohesive and fun body of work, her delivery is undeniably good and she will probably continue to dominate this lane of gangsta rap.… Expand

    The crisp production makes this feel like a well-thought-out and intentional release, rather than a rushed cash-grab. However, it’s this poise that makes Good News exactly that: good. When held up to past releases like Tina Snow and Fever, Megan’s larger-than-life personality over the Dirty South production she is most familiar with is not showcased to its full potential.

    When Megan moves away from her standard lyrical fare, perpetuating her beef with Tory Lanez on opening track Shots Fired or penning the poppy tune Don’t Rock Me To Sleep, the results are some of the best moments on the album, and if these aspects of her style had been explored some more it could have made for a more diverse LP, but Good News is still chock-full of catchy hooks, stellar verses and feisty attitude.

    “Good News” proves Megan’s prodigious talent, but it also suggests that, with a bit more digging, this gem could emit an even more prismatic shine.
