    Pure innovation. It's one of those albums that you don't understand the first time you listen. But, with each listen, you get hooked more and more. A delight.

    Very disappointed with Nicki Minaj in this album. Every song was so forced and the album is too long. She also keeps insisting that she is queen but her product doesnt seem to deliver

    Nicki Minaj delivers no catchy songs on her recent album, discussing the same topics over and over again. The more she talks about this, the more it gets stale

    This album is a hot mess. While maybe there are 3 good songs , the overall experience was lackluster. Many filler songs and doesn’t have a lot of substance. Definitely a step down from her previous albums. Disappointed...

    This album sucks. All of her songs sound like she’s trying to hard. There is no sense of cohesion to the album. Its a mess and I expect more from someone so seasoned..

    A bunch of bad production, and lyrics oozing of insecurities when the main topics are “i’m the queen, how down, no other woman is as good as me and they will never be me”.

    Sin tan sólo logrará cantar en vivo como canta en el disco, tal vez sería una experiencia más agradable, el rap de Minaj poco aporta a la industria, su carrera se hace notar más por los escándalos que por el talento que posee

    Con solo la muestra de Nicki presumiendo estar #1 en tendencias con la palabra “Queen” haciendo alusión a su álbum sin deducir el más mínimo razonamiento que la palabra iba referida a la popular banda debido al éxito del filme biográfico y no a ella, queda perfectamente claro como Nicki considera su trabajo superior al de otros. Pero sin cuidarse de ser modesta en absoluto, Queen ostentaCon solo la muestra de Nicki presumiendo estar #1 en tendencias con la palabra “Queen” haciendo alusión a su álbum sin deducir el más mínimo razonamiento que la palabra iba referida a la popular banda debido al éxito del filme biográfico y no a ella, queda perfectamente claro como Nicki considera su trabajo superior al de otros. 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

    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.
