    4 years waiting and they were worth it. The best rap album of this year. Everybody thought she was dead, but she kicked the door and shooted 19 bullets in everyone in the f*cking room. Still the queen of rap.

    Queen by Nicki Minaj is exactly what a female rapper needed to do. This album is so complet in lyricism, flow, it' so smart! Is a versatile album where she rescues herself from the old to the new Nicki in the best way and the most important it's not a boring album.

    nicki have been reinventing each era, and it's amazing how she can reinvent herself and never let her work die, she just started again and proved that the kingdom is still yours, the rap world is still yours, nicki has managed to renovate the whole scene and It has also recorded records. she's really the queen, she's amazing, her new album is amazing. Queen is iconic and unforgettable

    The worst album of the year. Barbz waiting two years for this garbage... Nicki Minaj doesn't respect her fans. This album has only 3 good songs - Coco Chanel, Chun-Li and Barbie Dreams, that's all. All another songs just like a piece of s***.

    Most rappers NEVER top their debut album. Today? I believe Ms. Minaj has outdone ALL of her albums. Sonically, Lyrically, creatively? There isn't an album that has been released in the last few YEARS that can compare/surpass. Nicki's reign as the queen of rap and hip hop is timeless and like none other.

    While the subject matter on this album may be questionable to some, this album was clearly not meant to be an emotional one. Nicki takes a step back from her pop records and gives us what she's been giving us for all of 2018: her creativity and versatility. There is not a single song skip on this record and each track demands your attention, whether it be her unmatched flow or lyricism.While the subject matter on this album may be questionable to some, this album was clearly not meant to be an emotional one.

    Just plain boring. Not worth the hype at all. Nicki doesn’t grow as an artist. This is just too mainstream.

    This is a iconic album of time. Nicki knows her fan always support her and in 4 years she works so hard so as to release masterpiece named herself. Every song every beat i hear i never skip.

    The Queen is back and this album is a testament. Her best album yet Nicki showcases her talent with experimental sounds ensuring no two tracks sound alike, and best of all it's entirely written to her vision unlike other Female MC's in the game.

    Once again Nicki Minaj reminds everyone why she is the blue print for female rappers. The whole aesthetic of the album was pure raw uncut Minaj. Never skipped a song. Worth the wait.

    I’m tired of the trend of stans coming in here, rating 0 and leaving an incoherent message probably without even listening to the work being discussed in full. It’s okay to like another artists work. Being a stan isn’t a full-time job and you aren’t getting paid in anymore than the occasional notice from your fave. We started with loving the music you can like the music and still hate theI’m tired of the trend of stans coming in here, rating 0 and leaving an incoherent message probably without even listening to the work being discussed in full. It’s okay to like another artists work. Being a stan isn’t a full-time job and you aren’t getting paid in anymore than the occasional notice from your fave. We started with loving the music you can like the music and still hate the artist if you deem it necessary. Anyway, with that being said I feel like this is Nicki’s most diversified piece of work. You can tell that she looked back at her past discography and picked pieces that worked the best, and worked to improve parts that didn’t work as well in the past. Some songs like run & hide could have probably been left off the album but she more than makes up for it with songs where she’s rapping over a roaring beat, jumping intricately over note or laid back on a more slow track. Enjoyable from beginning to end. You may dislike her but this is the work of an artsit who utilized her talent. Ten years in and she’s still improving with every drop.… Expand

    To be able to top your own albums from the past, over a decade in the game, is a great accomplishment. The Undisputed Queen of Rap's resume is getting bigger and bigger.

    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.
