    Nicki showed why she is the Queen and this album proves that she is untouchable and has earned her spot in history. Additionally she didn't pay reviewers to give her a high rating.

    The album was overrated and not what I expected, I only liked two songs and even those I wouldn’t add to my playlist. This is just not her era and should retire gracefully.

    I’ve been Nicki fan since the start, but I can’t lie. Her album is a complete disaster, nothing compares to prior albums. I really tried liking it, Barbie Dreams is a good album track, not a single. It’s really the best song off the album, and it’s very disappointing.

The metaphors, punchlines and lyrics and unbelievably unmatched. She’s shouted out over 40 people throughout this masterpiece.

Will she have longevity? The answer is NO because y’all hype up any rap **** just to see Nicki fall the love yall have for Cardi B ain’t genuine it’s to get back at Nicki Minaj but QUEEN proved why Ms Minaj ain’t go no where. Yall are a bunch of sheep that follow the Nicki hate trend because yall think it’s “cool” or wanna be down. QUEEN is the best album of the year from Majesty to Run & Hide to Coco Chanel with the iconic Foxy Brown. The wait was worth it Onika delivered and every single track is golden. None of the rap girls are seeing Nicki Minaj and that’s just that, The same ones giving QUEEN low ratings the same **** that be caping for IOP when it’s just a mix of unoriginal quick bops and no real authentic hip hop content. In the end Onika won QUEEN IS 10/10 and none of you white **** or antis can change that Expand

Maintaining her integrity as a true artist/lyricist whilst also keeping the playfulness and animation we love her for. Many tracks stand out, the singles fall in place very well and I would say it is cohesive. People saying otherwise simply do not like Nicki, or her singing and are clutching at straws for critique in my opinion. At this point in the industry, i wouldn't consider cohesion particularly important in any event. Majesty, Barbie Dreams, Good Form, LLC and Coco Chanel are particularly noteworthy.

Its really sad that this is what she made her fans wait for 4 years. Just take my advice and don't listen to the album. Expand

    Can’t believe she topped Pink Friday. There are no skips on the album and there is something for every barn, mixtape songs, a little pop, and Roman. Lol

    This album showed much needed music especially In the female rap era . Her self titled album ‘Queen’ had many different type of feeling and is her best album of work EVER.

    I was a Barb in the 2009-2012 era and then I just gave up on her because she would not release an album. I thought she was washed out and could no longer rap like she used to so I joined the Bardi Gang. Then Queen dropped and I realized that she stills has it. She proved to me that she was the Queen of Rap.Her best album yet. I am so sorry for doubting you, Nicki.

    Nicki’s worst album thus far. Only good song is Barbie Dreams, why the stellar reviews it is beyond me. Very fishy...

    She said that this album is gonna be her best so far, she didn't lie, her bars were fire, and her flow was as always inspired from the iconic rapper B.I.G, I'm glad that she has Eminem, Wayne and Foxy on this album, and this body of work will definitely put her among the best rappers of all time.

    As being part of the barbs myself I would I like to start by saying no this is not nickis best album. But the hate that it is receiving is also not what it deserves. Overall I rate this a 9/10 because it’s is such a good album even though pink print will always be that **** Queen was that album in which you had to look at every song from a different perspective, I liked EVERY song.As being part of the barbs myself I would I like to start by saying no this is not nickis best album.

Personally my favorites are Barbie Dreams , She really lets all her feelings out and rides the beat so heavy and the little surprise at the end OOOF WIGGGG ! Chun Swae this song I already felt it since I heard it first on QUEENRADIO the wat was so smooth her verse was amazing ! Majesty I can’t even , I think very one that listens to it already knows it’s one of the best! And the rest of the album but I look at each song from various perspectives each time. So please before any of lil Kim’s , cardis or anyone else’s fans attack nicki. Sincerely listen to the album look at the lyrics and if you feel offended about your stan being noticed or called out then sis this is the rap game, get use to it or beat it. Expand

    After I heard what Nicki said about Drake on her album I will never support her again. The fact that she had to diss all these people on her song just to make a "hit" is sad. Please Nicki think twice before mentioning the King.

    I think this album is so epic. it’s just show so many different sides of lyrical rap and how it can be finessed and played with, taken serious w/e way u want it to be it can be and that take pure genius talent. NO LYRICAL Handcuffs or industry standard.

NO LYRICAL Handcuffs or industry standard. Nicki takes us there with singing- Raps, she mumble raps, hardcore rap, Dance Hall, she gives us twerk, W/ catch Uptempo #Goodform, she then catches the world off guard with ballads to get us through the day!! Track “ Come see about me “ what is quite surprising she sounds amazing. Like no other album, slight autotune tune but it’s nothing like a T-pain. The tracks are fun, there some gems that are just straight spitting genius, like #Minajesty ft Emenim, HARD WHITE where she declares her Crown back and makes it clear that if and anyone ever puts it on again it WILL be Knocked off. A track called #LLC takes the cake when it comes to rap Battle. Nicki came and she Did what she had to do! TRACK 17: #MIAMI Ever wanted to know to what’s it like being one of the biggest Drugs lords in a city that demands /.. well sit down sm*ke a bl**t and think Grand theft Auto MIAMI because Nicki Minaj executes this with slick Lyrics, sexy , Cocky Flow very catchy , Never to fall short of her witty and catchy Barz “ just the other day I was in MIAMI/ got the low low on perks /low low on them zannies / **** know my **** petty I ain’t talking Manis / pull up with a lot of boddies don’t forget the addy/ when i run up in the town I ain’t chitty Chatty/ got some real pretty **** that’s come w a fatty /too much money I ain’t never need a sugardaddy / I’m the bell of the ball you can call me pattie “ then an Iconic Dance Hall Sample ft FOXY Brown to close the show.. but let’s talk about when beat drops Nicki’s bars are clear , boisterous and in your face! Oh and don’t for get the Dance..
    Great body of work. Some may say it isn’t coheisive but I have to disagree nothing on this album is same. Each track stands out in ways that one may say it’s not in order but how can it be order on creativity and #BOLDNESS each track is so unique. It’s sticks out. It’s a rap art Masterpiece. Easily #Grammy worthy !

    After nearly four years Nicki Minaj has finally shared with the world what is clearly her best body of work!

This highly anticipated album completely reassures the world that her own game is unmatched. This album has no skips on it, it is so refreshing to here because almost every other album that’s been released thus far undoubtedly sounds the same. Nearly all “HIP HOP” fans of this generation are on the trap music/lit bop wave. I’m s sad majority of people don’t listen to music for the artistry or the lyricism anymore just the sound of the beat and how popular it is on the chart. Thankfully Minaj doesn’t let anyone of that influence her and her music as a true artist! She has shown so much growth and has proved herself to be the BEST in the game time and time again. She has continuously defied the odds and will continue to do so. Thank you for this album Nicki is what very much needed by many to remind them what real music is outside of what’s popular/trending.

    I have to say that this album is her worst so far. I am a not a fan of hers but I feel like she's trying to hard to proof herself, The album has 19 songs and only 2 of them are decent to listen to. I waited 4 years for this album and this is what she gives her fans?? Now she's saying she wants to swap out two of the songs.

    Minaj shows why she's Queen, delivering a cohesive body of work that's unlike any other sounds currently out on radio. The album is display of her lyrical skill from delivering heavy punchline, versatile flows and word play. Queen is best summed up as the best parts of her last (3) projects but elevated from raps to ballads.

    This album is jaw dropping. It’s a new and refreshing sound mixed with old hip hop sounds that come together so well. The witty word play and beautiful melodies she was able to present to us was the icing on the cake.

Everyone know Nicki Minaj is capable to make a hit song that can sky rocket on the billboards but this album proves much more than that. It shows her ability as a song writer and rapper. This is easily one the best albums of the year and the best album from a female rapper in the past decade. Nicki Minaj proved why she is the Queen of rap. I suggest listening more than once to catch the word play bevcause it’s something you can’t find anywhere else. Although there were a few song made that I felt were too lengthy and just filler songs it still didn’t take away from how great this album was. 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.
