    In "Queen" we see a more experimental side of Nicki Minaj. With songs like "Ganja Burns" and "Majesty" , Minaj does not choose traditional hard-hitting Hip-Hop beats, but chooses untraditional rap beats, which, really pay off in separating her from other rappers. The album is well organized, and shows Nicki Minaj's versatility with the fun "Chun-Li" to the sassy "LLC" to the very emotionalIn "Queen" we see a more experimental side of Nicki Minaj.

This is by far Minaj's best work to date, and it will be interesting to see what Queen Pt 2 has to offer. Expand

    This album is a very crazy and delicious mix to hear!!!
    Has heavy rap, has rap classic, has trap, has romantic sounds, featurings and a epic transition the last two tracks. HAVE QUALITY RAP! nd it is worth reinforcing that no female rapper can leave a public waiting 4 years for an album.

    Álbum magnifico, a rainha do rap conseguiu reunir tudo o que já fez de melhor desde suas mixtapes, o título "Queen" faz jus total ao álbum e a sua produção que vai de hip-hp raiz, passa pelo R&B até batidas mais pesadas de trap, além de ótimos versos dos artistas nas músicas com participações..

    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.

    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.

    The wait worth.
    This is an excellent album, great and smart lyrics, great beats. And very well chosen collaborators.
    It has different flavors but always keeps the greatness and the well done work. Not looking just for catchy songs, it is looking for excellence. And it´s all made by a woman that in a "Men world". This is a potential Grammy award winner.

    Starts off really well but the second half of the album has a lot of filler tracks. Would be better if it was cut to 13 songs MAX. Some really good songs on there, Coco Chanel is a great song but is stuck at the end of a group of filler tracks so will likely get missed by a lot of listeners that will lose interest before that and switch to something else.

    Nicki came back to show the real rap;

    The rhyming game, and the intelligence in word choice show that Nicki Minaj really should be where she is now. On the throne

    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.

    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.
