    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.

    She recycled a couple of Migos’ demos and put them together on an album. She can do it better.

    This album might be good for a 5 year old’s birthday party - but it definitely doesn’t claim her throne as the ”Queen of rap”. The only good tracks on this album are ”I Like It” and ”I Do” where SZA’s vocals saves the song.

    The praise this album is receiving is confusing to be, to be a true rapper you have to write your own raps. Taking into consideration Cardi has not written any of the raps on the album it is incredibly poor. Hype has won over talent in the case of this album. I very much doubt Cardi will have any kind of longevity.

    This is the worst Rap / Hip & Hop album ever to come out of the current scene. Cardi proves that it is not good enough when the item is QUALITY and not SALES. Verses written by her boyfriend Offset, NO FLOW, generic songs. 0/10

    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 album was lack luster. Cardi could barely stand on her own on most track and needed features, and other samples to carry this album. She also had a large team of writers that takes away from the artistry of rap. This isn't pop or r&b, writing matters. Bodak Yellow carried the album.

    I just want to understand if she raps with a mouth full of spit? Like does she bring a gallon of saliva to each studio session.

    the only good song on the album was i like it, honestly the album feels like someone yelling at you for a whole hour...

    The whole vibe and sound is very amateurish, weak "rap", the technique is lacking, it's like listening to a 5 year old rap, she did not write a word on it, and the lyrics ain't that great, although Money Bag & I Like It are cute bops

    This album is a hot mess. If the album was designed to be a remix of Bodak Yellow, it worked 13 times. The thing that boggles me is that people have seriously considered this album to be "the greatest hip hop album of time". As if To pimp a Butterfly, The Marshall Mathers LP, Care for Me, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Scum F*ck Flower Boy,. and Channel Orange don't exist. Her effort,This album is a hot mess.

As if To pimp a Butterfly, The Marshall Mathers LP, Care for Me, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Scum F*ck Flower Boy,. and Channel Orange don't exist. Her effort, considering that she doesn't write her own lyrics, doesn't make her own beats, or really didn't take any attention to detail at all, she somehow screwed up her own album by just being her awful self. The only good thing i could possibly take away is SZA's vocals on some of the tracks, but otherwise this is pathetic. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esta mujer no conoce nada de respeto o humildad lamentablemente su flow da mucho que desear, todas las canciones suenan iguales, un intento de ser agresiva con frases tontas, las cuales terminan siendo incómodas. Expand

    Filled with a lot generic songs. She barely wrote anything on it. Felt like I was listening to a label puppet rather than an actual artist.

    No new metaphors, a whole album just taljing about money and sex. I see that its a easy way to hit the chart with easy metaphors and generic flow. But this higly antecipated album should have been better

    Didn't got the hype of this album. She just did what Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj did before her but worse. Not anything against subject matter cause I enjoy rap about sexuality, success and equality. She should just make better music about the subject she is currently doing.

    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.
  2. 90
    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.
