    Very good pop/rap album with great production album. It is also well written and proves that Nicki Minaj is still the hardest current female rapper. I like it.

    Nicki Minaj worked hard on this album and it is noticeable, it has improved lyrically, vocally and also doing what he does best, metaphors. Pinkprint is your best work!

    By far this is their biggest album since pink friday. Unlike her first work, she tries to show that she is an artist capable of multi-faceting in several aspects. With a melacolico personality Nicki promises to show a more transparent and vulnerable side and this task is done majestically.

    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!

    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

    The tracks here have melodies. Till now, most of Nicki Minaj's songs were big studio productions, collaborations with all her industry friends, butts and penises, EDM samples and videos directed by Hype Williams. This is the first time you can only focus on the deep rhythm sections and basslines, the reverbed keys and her raw lyrics. It's just that and nothing more.

    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

    I honestly think she put ALL of her heart into this album. Not only does she show her emotions, she shows her life as well. Unlike some "rappers" that always sing about the "ghetto" that they probably never visited, Nicki puts was rap was all about in the beginning: Expressing Yourself. Truly a beautiful album

    Although the album boasts more introspective lyricism that we haven't come to expect from a rapper like Nicki Minaj, The Pinkprint lacks the frenetic energy and the creativity of her previous Roman Reloaded record.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Miss Minaj is back, and she is back with change at heart. Her fans may have noticed some changes in her appearance, the natural and more stripped back look giving an insight into what might be coming around the corner, and here it is. If you were to define The Pinkprint into a short sentence, it would be 'an album that is ultimately a Nicki Minaj album'. Whereas Roman Reloaded saw her embrace a more pop infused sound that may have scared listeners, The Pinkprint incorporates different sounds that are both personal, powerful, and triumphant.

    All Things Go - The albums most heaviest hitting song. She talks about her abortion, her family, the death of her cousin, all in one song. The majority of artists would spread such touchy topics across an entire album, but if you think Nicki confines herself to the typicality of these artists, think again. [7/10]

    I Lied - The female rap goddess exhibits amazing vocals on this track, only furthered by the spellbinding live performance she gave of this track on her Pinkprint Tour. A very different twist on Nicki's artistry. [7/10]

    The Crying Game - A perfect candidate for a first single that was neglected by the artist who delivered it so beautifully. Definitely one of the highlights of the album, an emotional, hip-hop oriented ballad that haunts a listener to their very core. [9/10]

    Get On Your Knees - The sexually explicit side of Nicki makes itself apparent, but this is smooth, slick and sexy, and Miss Grande's vocal ability assists Nicki's audacious style perfectly. [7/10]

    Feeling Myself - The collaboration we've all been waiting for. The Queen of Rap and the Empress herself exert their authority and self pride on this excellently uplifting track. Nearly spanning 4 minutes, we wish it were longer (a collab album ladies). [9/10]

    Only - Nicki's verse is okay, and then Drake bores himself into yet another collaboration and Lil Wayne struggles to keep up with Drake, who even struggles to keep up with Nicki himself. [6/10]

    Want Some More - The albums first definitive hip-hop/rap score. Nicki zig-zags around constantly, her rapping as ferocious and as powerful as it was on 'Romans Revenge'. She consolidates her stance on the throne with this excellent number. [8/10]

    Four Door Aventador - Rap royalty inside an expensive car. This is one of the album's many highlights, one that is extremely underrated. [8/10]

    Favorite - A ferocious collaboration with Jeremih that shows the hip-hop/rap segment of the standard edition album drawing to a close with a bang. Nicki's vocals compliment her co-star's perfectly, and her rapping is on par as always. [7/10]

    Buy A Heart - The lovebirds now begin to rap at each other, in between soft lulls on Nicki's behalf. A good song, if a bit misplaced between the hip-hop of the last three songs and the crazed hysteria of the next three. [6/10]

    Trini Dem Girls - Roman Reloaded Nicki comes into full flex, only this time she is more tamed, with Roman still locked up at the 2012 Grammy Awards. A song that could have been a success, with the right promotion, yet it proves itself to be an electrifying banger nonetheless. [7/10]

    Anaconda - The controversial reptile of the pop culture wilderness. This is nothing like her other major singles such as Superbass or Starships, she remains explicit, but also fun and ruthless at the same time. [7/10]

    The Night Is Still Young - On one of the albums more happier singles, we can help as listeners but feel sad as Minaj raps and sings along to the song. Here we make a conclusion about this album and its packaging; she is hurting, but she continues to make the most of her happy moments. [8/10]

    Pills N Potions - An underrated masterpiece. We see perfectly executed verses on Nicki's behalf, as well as the interestingly bizarre visuals of the video, we make conclusions about her artistry. 'People will love you and support you when its beneficial', raps the Queen, proving that she is still personal. [9/10]

    Bed of Lies - Another hard hitter, a fantastic one at that. She raps around Skylar Grey's beautiful lyrics with ease, but beyond all that, we can almost hear her cry, the anger in her voice more prominent than ever. [9/10]

    Grand Piano - A beautiful piano ballad, and the standard editions only entirely sung track. This closing track proves that Minaj is a serious artist, one that is better than most of her male peers. [9/10]

    BONUS TRACKS

    Big Daddy - Mill's appearance goes unnoticed, but its subordinate nature acts as the perfect build up to Minaj's triumphant nature. [9/10]

    Shanghai - Hip-hop Nicki is back, swinging her samurai sword at her haters with force. [8/10]

    Win Again - Possibly the albums best track. She sings and raps beautifully while again, burying the hatchet in her 'rivals'. [9/10]

    Truffle Butter - 'Only's stronger relative. If anything, it makes us forget how tired the song actually was. [8/10]

    OVERALL SCORE - 78%

    SUMMARY - An excellent album with a mixture of feelings.    … Expand

    The album has a very raw image, and without having a legal view. The compositions as always, are impeccable and incredible!

    10. Buy a Heart ft. Meek Mill, i don't like Meek or this song 4/10
    11. Trini Dem Girls ft. Lunchmoney Lewis, kinda random but its good 7/10
    12. Anaconda, Its good but its way overrated 8/10
    13. The Night Is Still Young, love this song but too much singing 8/10
    14. Pills N Potions, this song is really underrated on the other hand, I mean its really good 9/10
    15. Bed of Lies ft. Skylar Grey, its boring but it has a great Skylar Grey part 7/10
    16. Grand Piano, filler 5/10
    17. Big Daddy ft. Meek Mill, I really don't like Meek and he hurts this song 1/10
    18. Shanghai, its fire, and has amazing bars 7/10
    19. Win Again, i wouldn't say this song is listenable 1/10
    20. Truffle Butter ft. Drake & Lil Wayne, the 3 don't ever disappoint, best song on the album 10/10
    21. Mona Lisa, its pretty good but not great 5/10
    22. Put You In A Room, hey its good but completely overlooked by everyone 8/10
    23. Wamables, its different, i don't know what else to say about it 8/10

    Standouts are Get On Your Knees, Feeling Myself & Truffle Butter

    Overall: 6.6 (rounded up to 7) Nicki comes in with here best lyrics and her most emotional title to this date. hopefully Queen won't disappoint and keep up the artistry she has displayed this album. (this review was on the Japanese Edition)    … Expand

    A fairly good album with many tracks that reflect the suffering and events that she experienced. Powerful singles Anaconda and The Night is Still Young included, however, the album was slightly too long with too many unnecessary tracks. With that being said, the album is a spectacular tribute to her power as Queen of Rap.

    É um álbum de rap muito bem trabalhado, coeso e coerente. Minaj tem mostrado um crescimento tremendo como rapper e o seu desempenho foi muito melhor neste álbum do que em "Pink Friday" e "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded". Com letras mais significativas, uma gama mais diversificada de músicas e estilos, "The PinkPrint" certamente tem algo para todos os ouvintes.

    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.
