    This project is completely ironic. Megan raps about feminism, black women, female empowerment, etc. Then, she calls lots of women h**s, b*tches and other insults. Why? Just, why?

    It was kind of boring...to me. I don't get why the critics reviewed it so highly & the people who actually matter (the listeners) scored it otherwise. No versatility in her flows or lyrical content. She can do better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was hoping for something better for her debut, I don't know, she reinvents, it's just her raiding without sounds or something special… Expand

    not good, lyrics are mid, bars weak, the song she tried singing on was a horrible autotune mess. this album was made for tik tok and has no good substance or music quality

    It’s unfortunate that she can’t use more than one flow. She uses one flow in almost every song. Also confused why it’s critically acclaimed. 85? Disappointing when The Pink Print by Nicki Minaj should be the highest rated. weird..

    This album isn't worth the listen. Everything is bad produced, unoriginal and te lyrics talk only about, well, you know...
    This album was made just for the hype. It isn't good and even the featurings don't carry the album.
    Not worth the hype, the wait and the listen.

    This album lacks depth. Beats are generic, bars are subpar. She's gone through so much only to have nothing to talk about besides sex, violence, and pure stupidity. It's crazy how high this review is compared to other rappers who have made REAL albums that will be talked about in decades on.

    The weakest project Megan has released thus far. Some of the most mediocre lyrics and a poor attempt to create rap songs that will be attractive for top 40 radio.

    the album is so horrible - there is one song which is average (Shots Fired) and even that is bad. she has no bars, her lyrics are all recycled and she doesn’t stray from her typical one flow. an all round disgusting album, there’s a reason it couldn’t crack 8k pure sales.

    A snooze of an album with no direction that attempts to be guided by a personality rather than a real artist. It'll win awards and be lauded in the press for political motivations. But, don't be fooled everyone - this is a horrible hip-hob album.

    A very basic boring album in attempt to make catchy tik tok songs. Hopefully her next album is better as this was extremely disappointing.

    Not loving the direction her creative work is heading. Sounds like all her other work and seems like and album full of filler songs. Only stand out track is Body; which is better suited for tiktok.

    this album was very poorly put together for all the resources she has access to it. Is no one going to talk about how poorly the mastering was on most of the tracks??? Lord have mercy. I don’t think Megan has enough honest people in her circle.
    She will never be a crossover artist. You can’t mainly talk about s*x on almost every single song and expect to be a crossover artist.

You can’t have a curse word in every line and expect to be a crossover artist. And most of all, if you don’t have the ability to consistently make catchy hooks, change up your cadence, switch flows and tone, etc all your songs are going to sound the same and you WONT cross over.
    Megan is a lost cause and peaked as an artist with Tina Snow    … Expand

    The first song is pretty good and samples a well known Biggie song. After that the album falls short for me. I really expected more from Megan due to the mixtapes and more. I am happy she experimented with different sounds but I think that her rapping style (flow and lyricism) haven’t really changed much. She has some brief moments on the album where I enjoy her flow.

For example, “Body” has great verses but the chorus of the song is annoyingly repetitive. Personally, I feel like this is the weakest track on the album.

    I hope Meg continues to experiment more with her sound but I really would like to see her try different flow, voices, and rap styles. She seems to be “Meg the One Trick Pony” rather than the Stallion for me. I still feel like Meg hasn’t really found her sound either and this album is basically a way for her to throw some sounds out and see what fans like. Lastly, a pro of this album is the amount of tracks. The album has 17 tracks. My three personal favorites are “Shots Fired” “Movie” and “Freaky Girls.” I also feel like Hip Hop albums in general (for men and women) have a lower standard than pop albums. They tend to be less personal and more club dance (if that makes sense). I would love to see Megan get more personal like she did on “Shots Fired” for future music. Overall, not a terrible album but definitely on the low end. Probably will skip most of the songs.    … Expand

    If you enjoy predictable topics and degenerative lyrics then you'll probably like this. Money, sex and clothes on repeat. The people who own these music labels want artist like this to continue to dumb down society which is odd to me.

    Probably one of the worst rap albums released in the past couple years. Megan's lack of versatility in her flow, delivery and lyrical content has been a constant source of criticism of her work for years. In this album, she does try new things, but I think I finally understood why she never branched out into different sounds before — because she is not capable of doing so.

Her singing voice is as atrocious as a singing voice can be, as she displays in Don't Rock Me To Sleep, which is up there with the worst songs I've ever heard. The production is boring, the lyrical content is repetitive and unremarkable, the delivery is subpar. Nothing about this record was good.… Expand

    The crisp production makes this feel like a well-thought-out and intentional release, rather than a rushed cash-grab. However, it’s this poise that makes Good News exactly that: good. When held up to past releases like Tina Snow and Fever, Megan’s larger-than-life personality over the Dirty South production she is most familiar with is not showcased to its full potential.

    When Megan moves away from her standard lyrical fare, perpetuating her beef with Tory Lanez on opening track Shots Fired or penning the poppy tune Don’t Rock Me To Sleep, the results are some of the best moments on the album, and if these aspects of her style had been explored some more it could have made for a more diverse LP, but Good News is still chock-full of catchy hooks, stellar verses and feisty attitude.

    “Good News” proves Megan’s prodigious talent, but it also suggests that, with a bit more digging, this gem could emit an even more prismatic shine.
