    Nicki showed why she is the Queen and this album proves that she is untouchable and has earned her spot in history. Additionally she didn't pay reviewers to give her a high rating.

    The album combines its rap / hip-hop side with the pop one, perfectly matched collaborations.

    The album was overrated and not what I expected, I only liked two songs and even those I wouldn’t add to my playlist. This is just not her era and should retire gracefully.

    After listening to the album all the way through once, I could tell that this is her best album to date bringing elements the overall lexicon enjoys with a level of couth and skill that is currently unmatched and underappreciated.

On tracks like Barbie Dreams, a fun track poking fun at her rap colleagues, she introduces a new audience to the works of The Notorious B.I.G. sampling "Dream" and her unique rap style at the end of the song. The amount of intelligence goes unrecognized and will give "artists" like Cardi B or Drake praises for being mediocre in every way.… Expand

    Nicki’s 4th Album ‘Queen’ shows how much raw talent she has. Nicki truly shines with her multiple flows, catchy beats, and amazing wordplay. There are seriously NO skips on this album. Nicki truly did not dissapoint on this fire album!!

    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.

    Nicki Minaj has proven that she's the queen and the throne belongs to her, with the outstanding skills and attraction from the Queen album.

    Nicki Minaj’s album “Queen” is beyond expection. People who just skim through the music will not catch necessary components to enjoy the album. The metaphors, punchlines and lyrics and unbelievably unmatched. She’s shouted out over 40 people throughout this masterpiece. Everyone who is reading the reviews; Watch the lyrics along with the song!!! You’ll catch everything!

    A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! A waste of a title bc it doesn’t live up to it’s name at all. Too many fillers. For someone who claims the title “Queen”, this is what you deliver? Back to the drawing board!

The audacity to question Onika’s pen and discredit for a airheaded **** who can’t write or spell her raps who started doing rap once she got to love and hip hop and doesn’t give a **** about the craft or art that comes with this hip hop **** is mind blowing... yall bandwagon everything ask yourself will Cardi B be here 10 years from now like Nicki Minaj has? Will she have longevity? The answer is NO because y’all hype up any rap **** just to see Nicki fall the love yall have for Cardi B ain’t genuine it’s to get back at Nicki Minaj but QUEEN proved why Ms Minaj ain’t go no where. Yall are a bunch of sheep that follow the Nicki hate trend because yall think it’s “cool” or wanna be down. QUEEN is the best album of the year from Majesty to Run & Hide to Coco Chanel with the iconic Foxy Brown. The wait was worth it Onika delivered and every single track is golden. None of the rap girls are seeing Nicki Minaj and that’s just that, The same ones giving QUEEN low ratings the same **** that be caping for IOP when it’s just a mix of unoriginal quick bops and no real authentic hip hop content. In the end Onika won QUEEN IS 10/10 and none of you white **** or antis can change that … 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.
