    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.

    Even though it’s only been 3 hours since ‘Queen’ released, it honestly is one of the best hip-hop albums this year. Recently Hip-hop albums have been sounding the same & you don’t hear any growth from the artists especially lyrically, but with ‘Queen’ you get what Hip-hop has been lacking lately BARS, but also bops. From the playful dope bars on ‘Barbie Dreams’ to Nicki RAPPING & blackingEven though it’s only been 3 hours since ‘Queen’ released, it honestly is one of the best hip-hop albums this year.

    Easily Nick's most focused album, bringing back her mix-tape roots with little frill and straight bars.

    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.
