    Hands down the worst hip hop album I've heard. Production is great, but hip hop is about lyricism and no ghostwriter can save this mess.

    most overrated album i've ever listened to, cardi can barely rap and then she tries to sing things get even worse. idk how tf she got a grammy with this or more than 60+ points here. just because she's funny doesn't mean she's a good rapper, defently the most overrated artist at the moment, if you wanna give female rap a chance listen to cupcakKe, megan thee stallion, doja cat, saweetie,most overrated album i've ever listened to, cardi can barely rap and then she tries to sing things get even worse. idk how tf she got a grammy with this or more than 60+ points here. just because she's funny doesn't mean she's a good rapper, defently the most overrated artist at the moment, if you wanna give female rap a chance listen to cupcakKe, megan thee stallion, doja cat, saweetie, iggy azale for example, not someone who uses ghostwriters and get a grammy doing so.… Expand

    The best rap album. Period. Her grammy was definitely deserved. I don't see another female rapper topping this album in the near future.

    Invasion of Privacy es la hoja que sigue en el libro de la historia del Rap, y Cardi es la que escribe con puño y letra en ella. Y la trae al frente junto con los más grandes exponentes en los últimos tiempos con su debut.

Cardi explora y abarca con agilidadInvasion of Privacy es la hoja que sigue en el libro de la historia del Rap, y Cardi es la que escribe con puño y letra en ella. Y la trae al frente junto con los más grandes exponentes en los últimos tiempos con su debut. Invasion Of Privacy es agresivo y frágil, lleno de personalidad y un estilo único que ha estado ausente últimamente en la industria. Cardi explora y abarca con agilidad y elegancia desde el pop-rap al trap en I Like it, Bodack Yellow, Drip, y se zambulle sin miedo a ahogarse en un simple cliché empalagoso en las dulces baladas desgarradoras que te hacen cuestionar el verdadero amor en Thru Your Phone y Be Careful, una angustiante y dolorosa advertencia al amor idealizado como verdadero. Cardi demuestra con tenacidad que ella ha venido a reclamar un trono que ha estado cubierto de polvo por años desde hace décadas e Invasion Of Privacy la corona como la Reina del Rap. Puntaje: 86/100

    The production in this album is really good but the lack of versatility and her using the same flow makes the album only for hits and really no use of talent.

    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"

    As a music lover, I was very disappointed with this project. I respect her for trying, but this was just not it. The lack of lyricism and flow, listening to this is almost unbearable. Her use of the n-word as a non black person is...disgraceful...to say the least. Her not even writing these songs also made what is supposed to be her body of work less enjoyable to me. This debut album wasAs a music lover, I was very disappointed with this project. I respect her for trying, but this was just not it. The lack of lyricism and flow, listening to this is almost unbearable. Her use of the n-word as a non black person is...disgraceful...to say the least. Her not even writing these songs also made what is supposed to be her body of work less enjoyable to me. This debut album was supposed to show off her artistry and talent as a rapper, however it just failed to do so. I expected so much more and I seem to not be the only one who agrees. This just did not live up to the expectations.
    Although I did find myself enjoying many of the beats on this album, and I consider that to be the one of the album's strong-suits. On songs such as "I Like It" , "Bartier Cardi", and "Money" I was completely enthralled with the beat and production. However, these tend to be overshadowed by the lack of bars and repetitive lyrics. I found it hard to be able to fully enjoy these songs with the deplorable lyrics. Some artists can get away with having not so in-depth or influential lyrics, but when it comes to rap artists, having great flows and bars is the name of the game. I feel as if many of her fans are blinded by Cardi's fun personality, and can't really see through the cracks. Cardi just simply falls short in the lyricism department, and that's surprising coming from the fact that she has dozens of writers (including ghost-writers) for her songs, which is something else her fans are blind sighted to. I don't even have the energy to start talking about some of the other things her fans choose not to see, such as the homophobic, transphobic, and racist comments she's made recently. But this is a review for her album, not for her character.
    So final thoughts: Could've been so much better. Lyricism is this albums downfall, which is a huge no-no for rap albums. Great production on some of the songs, but many missed opportunities to make this a true work of art.
    I'd like to see her try again though, maybe writing her own raps and not only making songs just for money and chart placements. :)    … Expand

    Cardi don't write her own raps and it's bad. The tracks are versatile and cute BUT again, the music isnt deep enough and for a debut album it's a no

    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.

    Sin duda alguna ella nos dio temas tan básicos, esperaba más de ella, son muy repetitivas sus canciones y sin mucho que decir.

    É um álbum bem mais ou menos. Os singles foram até legais mas dá para se ver a completa falta de vontade de rimar da ratinha. Isso se ela pelo menos teve a coragem de escrever alguma coisa nesse álbum, oq eu duvido muito.

    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.
