    Lyrically, its her best album to date. The production, her flow, her raps, her honesty, she got rid of of all her alter-egos and let Onika shine from the beginning to end. Nicki holds her own, even throughout the tracks with features, she's still in-charge. It makes you think, who other female MC is really on her level? The answer is, no one is.

    The Album in general is a piece of art, we had never had a Female Rapper to being this great in every sense of the world. This albums it is truly amazing. who else than the Queen of rap to made an album this great. Nicki Minaj is the REAL Queen of Rap.

    This album is genius! It tells Nicki's story and it reveals her dark side which I love. This is almost like the Beyoncé 2013 album in terms of tone because it's slow-paced, dark and different to what she previously released which is why this is my favorite Nicki album to date!

    A really SOLID album, I was PLEASANTLY surprised by Miss Minaj;s ability to entice the pop and hip hop audience. The album provided a much needed bridge, like The Blueprint did, between Rap and Pop. Her vocals in songs like Grand Piano and The Crying Game with Jesse Ware are among the best, it bests Pop stars vocals (Like Katy Perry for example) It deserves the praise its receiving.

Collaborations include the musical stylings of Beyoncé & Ariana Grande, aswell as rap icons Meek Mill, Lil Wayne & Drake. Altogether, the collaborations, along with Nicki skills & abilities, further gives an immense, yet compelling experience which doesn’t shine away from the albums subliminal messaging.

Tracks that stand out prominently are Grand Piano & I Lied, which are both Nicki’s most memorable & ground-breaking power ballads to date.

    This album may not be what most of you expect but it is the best album so far for her for I do love her other two albums, but this is the best. My favourites are: I Lied, All Things Go, Anaconda, Pills N Potions, Get on Your Knees, Bed Of Lies, Only, Feeling Myself, Win Again, Want Some More, The Night Is Still Young, Big Daddy and Four Door Aventador

    By far the best album of Nicki, it's really relatable and she put her all into this. It's very different from her previous albums and really has some deep and dark songs. You'll love it!

    Esse sem dúvida é o álbum mais maduro da Nicki, além de ter melhorado vocalmente, as músicas estão perfeitas e ecléticas, com certeza um dos melhores álbuns de 2014!

Onika did as he said his words promising something more to the side of its origin even not being 100% rap grung she thought of giving her fans the right pinches for this excluviso luxury Grand Piano purest and genuine band came to show that Maraj in spades is not a mounted thing, made by the label to be "hit" say, we agree that there is no one worthy to be compared with it even if there are pseudo rappers trying to get to some kind of list is missing ugly feeling that charts is the only way, the right direction is the fans because independent critics WHAT same valley is the opnion of loyal fans SAID AND DONE Onika tHE ONLY QUEEN OF RAP!… Expand

    vou começar falando da sonoridade do The Pinkprint, algo pouco comercial e bem conceitual.
    ela se arriscou ao lançar algo assim em um momento em que está muito difícil hitar ultimamente, e mesmo assim lançando Only como single ela conseguiu um peak de #15 na Billboard Hot 100, entrando no mesmo com as participações com a Beyoncé (Feeling Myself) e a Ariana Grande (Get On Your Knees),    vou começar falando da sonoridade do The Pinkprint, algo pouco comercial e bem conceitual.

    Tudo isso com um album não muito comercial, e pontos para Grand Piano, onde a Onika usa os seus vocais melhor do que nunca, e fica incrivelmente emocionante e lindo.
    um dos melhores albuns de rap de 2014, junto com o Broken With Expensive Taste, da Azealia Banks.
    e mesmo com as vendas não tão boas, o the pinkprint se torna o melhor album dela, vocalmente e principalmente por seguir um estilo do começo ao fim *exceto TNSY*

    This album is Nicki's strongest to date and is easily one of the best, if not the best, albums of 2014.

There are less lyrically captivating songs, but very catchy and fun ones, like Night is Still Young, Only, Trini Dem Girls, and Anaconda.

    Because the lyrics are about death, fun, love, sex, fame, and accomplishing goals, the Pinkprint is one of those rare albums that many people can relate to one way or another. Also, all of the songs are great listens to me.

    It's a shame that Nicki Minaj's album was this impeccable lyrically and musically, but still got scores less than 60 from a few professional critics and a 70 on metacritic. I thought it would get at least an 80! Critics may simply be too focused on Nicki's reputation to truly recognize the practically flawlessness of The Pinkprint, but that's just a guess.    … Expand

    Masterfully crafted, I can see the passion and pain behind the music, she has com far from just having fun on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded and you can tell she has greatly matured. She discusses themes of love, family and regret thank will radically modify the way you think about Nicki Minaj forevermore.
    Don't expect to see much pop on this, however 'The Night is Still Young' is very enjoyable.
    'Truffle Butter' is an innovate house song. 'Grand Piano' shows people that Nicki can actually sing, and quite well at that, making for an unexpectedly breathtaking experience.
    A very skillful record that finally showcases Nicki's true capability of creating excellent music, and breaking free of the generic ideas of pop and hip hop to create something truly innovative and eclectic.    … Expand

    An understandable desire to have her traumas understood by everybody inevitably results in a bland mush of melodrama. Despite this, The Pinkprint is Nicki Minaj’s most successful album by a fairly wide margin, as she becomes more empathetic than at any point in the past while Pink Friday’s DMZ between pop and rap becomes little more than a historical footnote in her career.
