    The album seems to be misplaced. Nothing about it is memorable except for one song, Barbie Dreams, which Lil Kim was the first female to remake Notorious Big’s version. Therefore, it’s weird to know that she would feel comfortable doing a song with a concept that was already done by another female artist before her.

    Minaj promised and delivered. First time listens can be quite deceiving so after a few listens I definitely feel that this album hit the mark. "Queen" had high expectations without a doubt, especially following "The Pinkprint", nonetheless it blends the classic feel with incredible beats and impeccable lyrics. The only hiccup for me would be that each track delivers a similar topic, thoughMinaj promised and delivered.

    Amazing work of art. She’s a great artist and this album shows her growth. People expected club bangers but instead she focused on her lyrics and her growth as an artist. Impressive! 100% Bars. The homage to Biggie is everything

    Nicki Minaj reveals just how insecure she is with her new album, Queen. Definitely not Queen status. She sounds very bitter. Most of her album isn’t radio friendly. Is this all that Nicki Minaj has to offer?

    Nicki makes me miss Kanye’s seven-song approach. Not even The Weeknd saved “Queen”, it’s a bland, incoherent mess. The album’s highlight “Barbie Dreams”, is a Lil Kim cover with a James Brown sample, which fails to do the originals justice.

    When I saw the title Queen I was nervous to listen to this album. The title itself is a statement. An album that has 19 song you would think that it's too long or not interesting enough to listen to the full album, but Nicki made sure to layer this album in a way that each song has a different vibe on it's own.

She showed how to be a versatile rapper, from the New York vibes, Island vibes, hard rap songs to chill and emotional songs. In a time like now where rap has changed a lot it's fresh to see a female rapper bring something more to the table than what's just popular now. She took a different approach and made sure that this record would sound and be different to what is out right now ( I take my hat off for that). Nicki showed with this album once again why she the queen. I feel like that I could come back 10 years later and listen to this album and it would still feel like a whole new album to me, that's how classic this album is.… Expand

    This is truly an underwhelming, over hyped album. 19 tracks with 1 or two ok songs, that will likely not have radio impact due to the unreliable aspect, is not Queen worthy.

    Minaj proves to be very thirsty for attention, desperately name dropping everyone in the industry for the hell of making an impact. Her whole album is trash, not even the over hyped “Barbie Dreams” is worth a listen. Just stream Dreams by Lil Kim instead, it’s obvious that’s who inspired the Minaj.

I've been listening to this album literally all day, and it's so far one of the best of 2018. I prefer The Pink Print, but this is a good album. It does it's job and shows that Nicki is the Queen. All the people that stated that she doesn't write her own **** (wrong), that she has only one flow (wrong), that she isn't hip-hop (wrong), etc. I wish I could go into more detail on the songs, but there's not enough space. Basically, I think this is such a great album. I think there's something for everyone. It pays a lot of tribute to classic hip-hop (examples: Biggie, 50 Cent, Lauryn Hill, Mobb Deep, etc.) It has a bunch of new and interesting sounds. The production is amazing and everything on this album. The cover art is beautiful. Any problems with this album are honestly with some of the features. Because, Nicki sounds great. I've seen a lot of people who aren't even fans of Nicki listen to this album and love this album. Nicki worked hard on this, and you can tell, because it sounds great. I like all th songs, but the songs I would totally recommend are Ganja Burns, Majesty, Barbie Dreams, Rich Sex, Hard White, Chun-Li, LLC, Good Form, and Coco Chanel.… Expand

    Nicki’s Queen is a long-winded disaster. She takes a never-ending route to prove she's hip-hop royalty but in the process of doing so highlights more flaws than flourishes. Most of the album consists of yawn-inspiring boasts that couldn’t stir a sleeping kitten from its slumber.

    On this album Nicki Minaj proves that she is not scared of testing new sounds, she doesn’t necessarily look to what’s hot or not right now. Even thought there are tracks like rich sex or sir, where we can listen to a more modern yet average trap sound, she goes out of her comfort zone. There are fun tracks like Barbie Dreams where we really can enjoy the clever lyrical content Nicki has.On this album Nicki Minaj proves that she is not scared of testing new sounds, she doesn’t necessarily look to what’s hot or not right now.

As a summary, this album contains lyrics, new sounds for Minaj, club anthems, moody sad songs and future classics. Totally worth it to listen to.… Expand

    One of the best albums of the year and her best album to date. This longplay shows us her rap-skills and also singing abilities. She has proved her status with differences of hip-hop styles and power to rule them.

    There is no cohesiveness, no memorable moments. It’s Nicki’s most lackluster effort, topping Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

    The messy rollout for this project and the lackluster mix of singles had my expectations low but Nicki really delivered a very solid album. It seems that she's continuing to move away from the style mass-appeal hits like Superbass, Starships & Anaconda and back toward a more serious less cartoonish aesthetic and it works.

    With 'Queen' Nicki showed us even more how powerful and intelligent enough to make a quality album. The melodies are flawless, leaving anyone with their mouths open.
    is a great contender for 'AOTY' at the next Grammy.

    Sorry if i buy a dozen eggs, i dont expect almost all of them to be cracked. Almost all of these songs are cracked. I tried to listen to more but i couldnt. This is the worst! Especially after all of the pushbacks. Highly anticipated and also highly disappointed. Yall tell the truth. You can love her and disapprove of this album. *sigh*

    Her best album so far, after these long four years of wait she returned to claim back her throne as the only queen of rap.
    As a fan, I was really skeptical but everything came full circle as I listened to the album. Thanks, nicki.

    A desperate effort to gain back the respect she once has in the hip-hop community. Did it work? Maybe, but in doing so she lost audiences who loved what she served on Pinkprint.

    Iconic! Nicki Minaj never disappoints, she's so versatile and powerful, it's no wonder she's been in the game since 2009! QUEEN is not an album, it's a work of art! Congratulations, Nicki Minaj, and thank you for this gift after four years!

    There are a lot of hypocrisy , people who never heard the album or just want to put her down but as an impartial person it's a good album . They are trying to held her at a ehigh level artistically and lyrically when others girls are package made and void of talent .

    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.
