    When you think some Iggy or Cardi **** can take her spot, she proves why and how to be the QUEEN. I'll give you 10 minutes to name something by a female rapper this decade more harder and iconic than Barbie Dreams. GO!

    They try to drag her to the down, but the truth is: Nicki always be on the top and yall will never touch her.

    Este álbum representa una gran etapa de Nicki Minaj; se ve reflejado su esfuerzo y dedicación en su música. Hace un nombre para si misma en el rap, además da una cachetada a todos sus destructores y les demuestra que sigue de pie y siendo lo que siempre será LA REINA DEL RAP. Queen captura todo eso y realmente es una joya musical.

    Amazing!! You know you’re album is good when you have haters that will try anything to make sure it fails. TALENT ALWAYS WINS! Congratulations, Nicki. I am so proud of you.

    She said that Queen would be a classic album and she's right. Eminem and Foxy Brown is a good example of classics. The flows, the beats, all on fleek. After 10 years she shows that she's still the Queen of Rap. And always will be.

    The album is not good, sorry. After 4 years, why would you give your fans an album like this?

    I’ve been Nicki fan since the start, but I can’t lie. Her album is a complete disaster, nothing compares to prior albums. I really tried liking it, Barbie Dreams is a good album track, not a single. It’s really the best song off the album, and it’s very disappointing.

    Well, it's her worst album of his entire career, it started well with the first two-three songs and then it became so horrendous, repetitive lyrics, sounds that had already been heard, an album with lots of stuffings, the truth is very bad and very disappointed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nicki Minaj has improved greatly in terms of flow and lyrical quality. She is a great rapper. The album Queen also has great individual songs such as Ganja Burns, Majesty, Barbie Dreams, Chun Li. But the album as a whole is forgettable. There are so many passable songs that are just boring, yet still have quality lyrics.
    So many songs try differing styles and yet don't capture who Nicki is. Nicki Minaj is best when she is doing music that is different than the norm (Truffle Butter, Anaconda, Superbass). So this album just has a series of songs that sound just like everything else in 2018. Even though it may lyrically be of higher quality the music ends up seeming mostly bland. I never got a great feeling of who Nicki is from this album instead it could be any pop star with this music. Compare it to albums like Lemonade and Dirty Computer where at the end you feel like you got to know the artist better and have a strong feeling of who they are.    … Expand

    Ganja Burn
    Majesty ft. Labrinth and Eminem
    Barbie Dreams
    Bed ft. Ariana Grande
    Good Form
    Rich Sex ft. Lil Wayne
    Chun-Li

    'Queen' is the proof that Nicki is one of the most versatile artists of all time. Every time an album of her is released we can appreciate a new flavor. 'Queen' is rich in intelligent rhymes and atmospheric beats. The album was built amid the turbulence of recent years, but she shows us, once again, that she is a strong woman. A survivor.

    New album of the year! Nicki proves that her reign as queen of rap is far from over with both her rapping and singing on point. This album once again leaves all her doubters in the dust. Favourite tracks: Ganja Burns, Barbie Dreams, Hard White, Chun-Li

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Barbie Dreams is so creative. Not only did she flip the B.I.G's verse, but she had to do something different from her mix tape version of Dreams. Good Form is the song that all the girlies are going to want to dance to. Thought I knew you is a great song for the Radio and Ganja Burns sets the mood.… Expand

    This album is incredible and by far the best work of Nicki Minaj. It was 4 years and she gave us a rap masterpiece. I can say for long that my favorite are already: Majesty, Chun Swae, Coco Chanel, LLS, Come See About Me & Good Form. congratulations!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album Queen of Onika proves that a woman can speak what she wants without being seen as a woman Bitc not feeling pejorative to curse because in Brazil women can not approach sexual context because they are seen as women who do not pay, who are not worth anything Nicki shows that yes the Woman can and Must expose what she wants to speak in the rhymes, the melodies and the iconic participations of the album. We have the pioneer Foxy Brown in the 80's and 90's, showing that she has not lost her ability to play the verses and play with them like two diamond marbles in Coco Chanel. This is a well deserved Grammy album. Congratulations Nicki Minaj!… Expand

    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.
