    A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. Nicki always raises the standard for female rap. Great album, no skips. Have it on repeat since it's been released. Her fast lyricism, bars, metaphors, whew. She really outdid herself with this one. NO SKIPS. LLC is my top fave so far. Kudos Minaj, kudosssss

    I went into this album expecting to be disappointed but I love it. The album takes all her era's and brings out all the highlights! I can't wait to hear the bonus tracks! However some tracks are too long while others are too short.

    Nicki has proven to have bars while mixing up her flows and cadences. We waited four years for a true masterpiece. Her growth is evident and there are no songs you'll want to skip. A true piece of art.

    This is one of Nicki best albums to date. She incorporates skill from past albums and combines it with new skills and techniques to create a new sound with each song. She also changes her flow, delivery, and cadences effortlessly to keep the listener tuned in.

    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.

    You can't say this isn't an album of the year. Lyrically this album is a perfection for a hip-hop artist who writes her own raps. The flows, the beats, the vocals everything is just too perfect. And im not even Nicki fan but i know when some album is good. Her best album so far. FIRE

    To be able to top your own albums from the past, over a decade in the game, is a great accomplishment. The Undisputed Queen of Rap's resume is getting bigger and bigger.

    The Queen is back and this album is a testament. Her best album yet Nicki showcases her talent with experimental sounds ensuring no two tracks sound alike, and best of all it's entirely written to her vision unlike other Female MC's in the game.

    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.
