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

    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.

    One of the best debut albums I’ve heard in a while. No skips, just 13 tracks that show cohesiveness and versatility. Any song on the album can also be a hit, which is amazing to pull off without them not sounding cohesive. Cardi truly proved that she can put together a body of work. This album reflects her story and it was fascinating to look at.

    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

    Invasion Of Privacy is the reaction album of Cardi B when Bodak Yellow went number one on billboard. She then keeps the hits going after people assumed she was a one hit wonder.

    1. Get Up 10, at first, it gave me "All Things Go," vibes but then got bad once we got to the chorus 6/10 2. Drip ft. Migos, this song is the embodiment of a fun song 6/10 3. Brickenhead, i like to not think    Invasion Of Privacy is the reaction album of Cardi B when Bodak Yellow went number one on billboard.

    1. Get Up 10, at first, it gave me "All Things Go," vibes but then got bad once we got to the chorus 6/10
    2. Drip ft. Migos, this song is the embodiment of a fun song 6/10
    3. Brickenhead, i like to not think about this one when i think Cardi 3/10
    4. Bodak Yellow, money moves explains why she made this song 9/10
    5. Be Careful, a song that shows how Offset isn't deserving of Cardi B 9/10
    6. Best Life ft. Chance the Rapper, underwhelming Chance verse and overall boring 2/10
    7. I Like It, the best of the album and definitely deserving of its number 1 spot 10/10
    8. Ring ft. Kehlani, very cringeworthy and lacks meaningful lyrics 3/10
    9. Money Bag, a sad attempt to recreate Bodak Yellow 3/10
    10. Bartier Cardi ft. 21 Savage, this song was surprisingly good, I'm impressed 9/10
    11. She Bad, its bad also 1/10
    12. Thru Your Phone, its just not a good song sorry 2/10
    13. I Do ft. SZA, its good but way overhyped 6/10

    Standout Songs are Bodak Yellow, Be Careful and I Like It

    Overall: 5.3 (rounded down to 5) yes, it is a nice change to see more female rappers but she could have done better with half of these songs. She can make some good but that doesn't take away from the bad    … Expand

    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

    This album is a mess; her flow is poor and not on beat, zero lyrics are written by her and there is no depth or emotion shown in the album. It just seems like a bunch of trap beats and shoddy lyrics thrown together for the uneducated youth.

    the only song i liked was be careful. :(
    I was hoping for more.

    Honestly other than "The Culture II" by the Migos, which includes her husband, Offset, this is the worst rap album I have ever heard. All the beats are similar and unoriginal. Quite boring and not up to par with her female rapper counterparts. Plus that singing was...something. Expected this to be better after recent proof of her having a ghostwriter. #Disappointed

    Cardi B turned in a solid debut effort in "Invasion of Privacy." Commercially, the album will do very well, and the quality of the music is good as well. In her sarcastic, hilarious way, Cardi B addresses love, cheaters, Twitter haters, and success, with the help of some great talent in terms of features.

    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.

    This is a damn jewel of pure art. Sincerely Cardi B is one of the best raperas of our generation. This work has powerful lyrics, full of reality that you never get tired of listening to. A good production, better than the works of Azealia Banks. Cardi B is a genius in how to declare his art.

    This album is the reason why rap is in a bad state right now. It's because people like Cardi B are releasing mindless and idiotic music like this. I can't believe people actually like this

    I do not have many things to say about this album because everything is summarized as a great work of hip hop. It's pure rap and that's great. I love how each song tells a different story.

    Too much of this album is simply 50 shades of Bodak, the appeal of which was never really apparent to me anyway. There are a few great tracks where Cardi B breaks from the monotony of the rest of the album, but they are too few to make up for the rest. This debut definitely shows promise, but in the end misses the mark much more often than it hits it.

    I wanst expecting much from the album, as I also listened to the two previous mixtapes and did not like them. But, I can see so much quality on this album. There is a whole identity on it, and also the sound narrative is very good for me. There is just a very good flow, track by track. Love listening to Be Careful, Best Life and I Like It in a row.

    Despite a couple of skips, Invasion of Privacy is a great debut studio album that I'm going to be listening to for a long time. Favourite tracks: Bodak Yellow, Be Careful, Bartier Cardi, I Do

    Muy Interesante.
    No es mal debut, inclusive la colaboración con Bad Bunny es de las mejores canciones del álbum. El único defecto es que no convence lo suficiente, si bien es de las pocas mujeres raperas relevantes que hacen trap, no lo hace muy diferente al trabajo que haría FUTURE, Post Malone, Migos, etc.

    This is a well thought out project by Cardi B. What really surprised me was the versatility on the beat selection, and how well Cardi got into all those beats.
    Her flow is undeniable and her presence is also astonishing, she doesn't hide herself even in the presence of more "experience" features, making her presence felt in each song. although you have some really poor songs like    This is a well thought out project by Cardi B.

Get Up 10, Bodak Yellow, Be Careful, Best Life, Ring and I Do are great rap songs that really show her skills as a rapper.

    I heard Bodak Yellow and wrote off teh rest of the album thinking it would be just generic trap rap. But it's not. It's really good, high quality hip hop album. Almost eery song is good. This album is worth is a listen if you like hip hop. It's proud and fierce and aggressive. Cardi B has arrived.

    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.
