    Most rappers NEVER top their debut album. Today? I believe Ms. Minaj has outdone ALL of her albums. Sonically, Lyrically, creatively? There isn't an album that has been released in the last few YEARS that can compare/surpass. Nicki's reign as the queen of rap and hip hop is timeless and like none other.

    Nicki Minaj again gives us something totally new compared to her previous work, with Queen we can see that she is still keen on her word game and adaptations with the most different flows. The album has a very cohesive central structure and does not fire its concept in any band. If this is not Nicki's best job, it's definitely one of the best.

    Came into this album not knowing what to expect, and finished with all of the songs saved to my spotifty. Nicki has proved time and time again that she is THAT GIRL. Try all you wan't to stop her or make it negative, but she is an artist who has proved time and time again that she is not a force to be reckoned with. I recommend this album to everyone!

    On Queen, Nicki spends a lot of time ordering beheadings--which are fun, but get old quick--rather than showing us why she is and should be queen. Here's to hoping the next album gives us a more earnest, more raw glimpse of the head that wears the crown.

    When Minaj leans into her untouchable strengths as a rapper, things get really exciting and an album of tracks as strong as "LLC" or "Barbie Dreams" would be one for the books. As it stands, however, Queen is another chapter of Minaj's good but largely meandering and inconsistent full-length album output.
  3. Aug 20, 2018

    Queen's title implies it's meant to function as a coronation for one of the biggest rappers ever, but it's more the sound of Minaj fighting to keep that crown on her head.
