    just good beats
    no effort put on lyrics, I don´t see talent and hard work, I see a good music producer that makes catchy beats, most of the songs sound the same, she own #1, because catchy music hit #1's, but I see zero talent and work on songwriting, and most sound very similar but with different artist collaborating

    This is trash, Cardi B is nothing in the world of hip-hop. I'm very disapointed.

    Beyond bad, boring songs, unoriginal sounds, and knowing Cardi didn’t write one song on this album is a disgrace to hip hop.

    Cardi B breaks out with a decent debut album that suffers from clunky and rushed production, and flows that seem ripped from other rap acts, yet gets a save for decent flows and lyrics, and guest verses that save this album.The Pinkprint outsold, what a copycat! Only Bodak Yellow is good, after this step of the whole album.

    Horrible. No talent what so ever. Only one good song & it has a feature. She could’ve scrapped this entire project

    This album lacks creativity, flow, lyrical content..this is why hip hop in our days is so bad..just a bunch of words put together with no meaning at all.

    Mediocre flow and lyrics. I would have expected something much better from someone who openly admits to using ghostwriters.

    I can’t respect this album nor this artist knowing she doesn’t write her own music. The only song that stick out was “Drip” and that’s only because of the Migos.

    Honestly? It's shameful, it's a completely generic album, with flow and bad lines.

    I listened to this album twice and didn’t get the hype. I guess this is what rap has come to. Sad

    One of the bests rap album of this century, the fact that she didn't write the songs is a fact that you forget hearing this album, the production and everything else just make you bop and forget about it, she's Cardi B, she's powerful, she's talented and the fact she isn't coming to play is killing people out there.

    A estreia da rapper Cardi B com Invasion of Privacy é extremamente positiva. Neste debut ela mostra sua autenticidade na sua forma de fazer rap, sendo a melhor rapper feminina atualmente.

    If not solid, a good rap album. Due to the lack of success of albums by female rappers, this album got the hype. However its something which is not directly coming from Cardi. This is a trap album not a hip hop album with just the clubs kept in mind. It lacks authenticity but it definitely has a few club bangers!

    Un album con demasiado relleno diria yo, tranquilamente se podrian sacar 4-5 canciones del mismo y seria un mejor album. Por otra parte, no esta tan mal para ser su album Debut

    THUs is the first album I’ve ever listened to that I didn’t skip, I liked every single song and know all of them. My favorites are: Ring, I Do, Drip and Thru Your Phone.

    É o pior álbum que já surgiu na história. Por Deus, como Offset pode escrever isso? Não tem flow e só provou ser a putinha do rap!

    This is such a solid debut female rap album. This album shows Cardi as unfiltered and raw, but also soft and personal. I also like the diversity of the tracks because of this album’s use of rap, trap, r&b, soul, and latin trap music. This album is very strong and it deserves all the critical acclaim it is getting.

    OK I don't understand why so many people hate Cardi's music anyway. I think this album is fine. Cardi's music is fine. I listen to her songs whenever I workout at the gym and it's good. I like the production and Cardi's rapping style. I think it's good. My favorites on this album are "Ring", "I Like It", "I Do", and "Bodak Yellow"

    deserves album of the year...While Cardi will receive the hate she gets due to her personality and history she’s built up from over the years as a celebrity, this is a surprising and masterful debut. Aside from possibly Rapsody, no other female rapper has been able to do what Cardi has in such a short amount of time.

    Cardi B is merely the latest to appear into the mainstream, a position she is sure to occupy for some time, and with enough potential showing on her debut release to give hope to anyone listening that she can only get better from here.

    Invasion of Privacy is filled with carefully crafted tracks which ably show her many sides. Cardi B knows who she is and where she came from and she isn’t trying to hide it from anyone.

    Invasion of Privacy is a cohesive piece of work that demands to be heard in full, from front to back, side to side, on the pole and on the stove.
