    it's clear that Minaj came to show why she currently holds the title of Queen of Rap. Amazing versatility, flow and very cohesive

    I hated it, this album is so boring and almost all of the songs has the same melody. I'm really disappointed after waiting 4 years for a new release. She talks about sex on almost every song. I really was expecting some growth from Nicki. She's always putting herself as ''queen of rap'', but this album shows otherwise.

    Desde que fue anunciado supe que iba con todo, y fue así. Nicki me sorprendió, no solo a mi, si no a todos sus fans por realizar tan perfecto trabajo digno de reconocimiento.

    Came into this album not knowing what to expect, and finished with all of the songs saved to my spotifty. Nicki has proved time and time again that she is THAT GIRL. Try all you wan't to stop her or make it negative, but she is an artist who has proved time and time again that she is not a force to be reckoned with. I recommend this album to everyone!

    Unacceptable after waiting 4 years. There are 5 really good songs like Ganja burns, Barbie Dreams and Good Form, but the rest is really unbearable. She talks about the same topic (sex) on almost every song. I expected some growth from Nicki so I was really disappointed.

    Nicki Minaj again gives us something totally new compared to her previous work, with Queen we can see that she is still keen on her word game and adaptations with the most different flows. The album has a very cohesive central structure and does not fire its concept in any band. If this is not Nicki's best job, it's definitely one of the best.

    wonderful work! I don't really understand the way ppl acting and speaking. Nicki did such an enormous thing, personally, I am not disappointed (but I have to, after her mid-works/collabs). if you do not like the whole playlist - get the f/off, do not show you "i wanned some moooore, what a fail). it is not a flop, great work that was passionately written by the most interesting andwonderful work!

    *sighs* This is honestly the most messiest rollout possible for any era & album. I don’t even no where to start! With the album being postponed and delayed over the last 4 years you would expect the quality of the songs to stand out from her antics? YEA NO. She’s spent more time declaring herself the queen of rap then actually taking her time, and putting quality into her craft.

She’s spent more time declaring herself the queen of rap then actually taking her time, and putting quality into her craft. Her Hate train hasn’t steamed from people being sick and tired of the little effort she’s presenting and giving out to the gp! Her team and fans are filled with a bunch of yes men who just agree and nod their head to everything she’s does and she wonders why everything she releases is a peace of SH*t! I mean cmon! she just finished the album 12 hours ago.. if that isn’t rushed then i don’t know what is! The constant delays and pushbacks and this is all you have to offer? Anyways, t let’s move on to the album. The songs were lackluster as hell. there were a majority of 5 songs that didn’t sound the same or were at least enjoyable to listen too. Barbie Dreams, LLC, & Nip Tuck are the only songs i can see myself listening too a week after this. She could’ve did better than this! SHES NO QUEEN OF RAP.… 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.
