    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. This one in particular seems to be the Best Rap Album of her, compare to "The Pinkprint" (Minaj's 3rd StudioThe album is Nicki Minaj's Best Work To Date.

    She’s a lyrical monster. There’s not a rapper seeing her. Dead or alive.

    This was my favorite album in 2018-19. Hard white and llc demonstrates her lyricism and her wit, and her defending her spot as the queen.

    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.

    Great album. Very strong lyrical. My favorite songs are hard white, good form and llc. I think it would have been better if it didn’t have run and hide and thought I knew you on it tbh.

    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.
