    The flow, punchlines, rhythm are so good. after 5 years, the album feed us good. When she said, ‘B*tches ain’t got punchlines or flows, I had both and an empire also’, you know she’s not lying. Congrats, Nicki!

    The album is Nicki Minaj's Best Work To Date. Tracks like "Chun-Li", "Ganja Burn", "LLC" are some of the best songs on the album (just to name few of them). Collaborations with Foxy Brown, Eminem and Labrinth on tracks like "Coco Channel" & "Majesty" are the best on this album.

    the album has a variety of styles, so it’s very versatile. there are different genres, such as a little pop/rnb but it’s mostly rap. she has great flow, and okay lyrics (though this album was probably meant more for her female fans). overall great album.

    After 3 years prior to it's releasing, Queen by Nicki Minaj now proves itself as one of her best works.
    The album is about proving herself, assuring her positions, working with bold punchlines, flows and beats that only someone of her position could ever do.
    Minaj showed the world in a exquisite year of her career that nothing or anyone can beat her when it comes to the rap game.

    This album is her best lirically. Unfortunately people were really blinded by the hate train with Nicki and couldn't appreciate enough. But it's definitely a 10

    An underrated album. Despite having leaks and a messy rollout it was a masterpiece.

    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.

    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.
