    This album repeats the same trap-rap sound that is heard constantly, with the exceptions for a few songs on the album. The lyrics don’t have any significant meaning, whether she wrote them or not is debatable. The cover art is exceptional. She has room for massive improvement, specifically regarding her flow and word choice.

    As a music lover, I was very disappointed with this project. I respect her for trying, but this was just not it. The lack of lyricism and flow, listening to this is almost unbearable. Her use of the n-word as a non black person is...disgraceful...to say the least. Her not even writing these songs also made what is supposed to be her body of work less enjoyable to me.

The lack of lyricism and flow, listening to this is almost unbearable. Her use of the n-word as a non black person is...disgraceful...to say the least. Her not even writing these songs also made what is supposed to be her body of work less enjoyable to me. This debut album was supposed to show off her artistry and talent as a rapper, however it just failed to do so. I expected so much more and I seem to not be the only one who agrees. This just did not live up to the expectations.
    Although I did find myself enjoying many of the beats on this album, and I consider that to be the one of the album's strong-suits. On songs such as "I Like It" , "Bartier Cardi", and "Money" I was completely enthralled with the beat and production. However, these tend to be overshadowed by the lack of bars and repetitive lyrics. I found it hard to be able to fully enjoy these songs with the deplorable lyrics. Some artists can get away with having not so in-depth or influential lyrics, but when it comes to rap artists, having great flows and bars is the name of the game. I feel as if many of her fans are blinded by Cardi's fun personality, and can't really see through the cracks. Cardi just simply falls short in the lyricism department, and that's surprising coming from the fact that she has dozens of writers (including ghost-writers) for her songs, which is something else her fans are blind sighted to. I don't even have the energy to start talking about some of the other things her fans choose not to see, such as the homophobic, transphobic, and racist comments she's made recently. But this is a review for her album, not for her character.
    So final thoughts: Could've been so much better. Lyricism is this albums downfall, which is a huge no-no for rap albums. Great production on some of the songs, but many missed opportunities to make this a true work of art.
    I'd like to see her try again though, maybe writing her own raps and not only making songs just for money and chart placements. :)

Invasion Of Privacy es agresivo y frágil, lleno de personalidad y un estilo único que ha estado ausente últimamente en la industria. Cardi explora y abarca con agilidad y elegancia desde el pop-rap al trap en I Like it, Bodack Yellow, Drip, y se zambulle sin miedo a ahogarse en un simple cliché empalagoso en las dulces baladas desgarradoras que te hacen cuestionar el verdadero amor en Thru Your Phone y Be Careful, una angustiante y dolorosa advertencia al amor idealizado como verdadero. Cardi demuestra con tenacidad que ella ha venido a reclamar un trono que ha estado cubierto de polvo por años desde hace décadas e Invasion Of Privacy la corona como la Reina del Rap. Puntaje: 86/100
