    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.

    it wasn’t a good album. almost every song sounded the same and it was extremely annoying. this women needs to either find a way to make new music that acctually sounds good and isn’t just a suga pt2 or quit

    Lo mismo de siempre, el mismo flow, las mismas letras y el mismo sonido, no queda duda que ninguna rapera que se aparezca podra ser mejor que NIcki Minaj, buen intento megan pero miss maraj sigue en la cima

    Is she trying to have her invasion of privacy moment? she should at least be more versatile when it comes to express her feelings, I was expecting a song like be careful and received that trash singing. The only good song it savage and the one with Sza. Fever was better.

    Sorry, but with the amount of high quality writers, production, budget... this aint it. I was a fan but im starting to think her mother helped her with her early work like Tina Snow and Fever. She did no press, project feels rushed, forced fed. Maybe shes just trying to get projects out to finish her contract. Hopefully she will progress in the future.

    I really am disappointed in this album. There was no anticipation built and it was rushed. She didn’t push it like she and her team should have. She didn’t promote it like she should’ve. Nor her label. The budget seemed very low. Everything, including her photos, and songs were all repetitive. No diversity once so ever. No shock value.

    Wow the most uncreative, repetitive, empty and talentless album I’ve heard so far for this year. She really took her time to regurgitate this hot garbage at our face with all these reviews and critics all over her nuts not giving a damn about the actual music but screaming “She’s innocent, album’s fire” Wow journalism really has fell off smh

    It was ok, but I expected more because it's her debut album. The songs sound the same. Her Eps and mixtapes were better

    Still no versatility or creativity. Alter Egos are forced here, trying to fit in with what Nicki Minaj and Lil'Kim did SUCCESSFULLY on their albums, with Nicki having more success with alter egos respectively. She claims alter egos are here but... they all sound like Meg. None are distinguishable from another.

Very repetitive and annoying at most. I think she bloated herself by adding "Suga" as a persona. Tina Snow was well enough.… Expand

    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 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.
