    Amazing album!!! I really love hearing Nicki's personal side. I also really enjoy the vocals on some of these songs like Grand Piano and Pills N Potions for example. I really enjoy every track (including the deluxe) on this work of art. It's truly a masterpiece and her best album yet!!!!!

    What an album, oh, my gosh. All it proves is how talented Nicki Minaj is. The way she delivers both rap and pop on this album is flawless and it shows how versatile she is. There is not a single miss here. Every song is excellent. Nicki truly hit her artistic peak with this record. She should make more albums like this.

A produção é incrível, o álbum mostra muito crescimento desde a estética até o lirismo. Minaj continua reinando e provando que ela é uma das melhores rappers de todos os tempos. O lirismo e a versatilidade de Nicki são incomparáveis, as letras são muito pessoais e honestas, as batidas são muito fortes, do início ao fim, o álbum não pode ser criticado. Isso faz você pensar... qual outra rapper está realmente no nível dela? A resposta é, nenhuma.    … Expand

    Its a Hip Hop classic, it can easily be one of the best rap albums ever. With personal tracks such as Win Again and bangers ike Anaconda, The Pinkprint is a perfect homage to Jay's album The Blueprint.

    The queen’s 2014 studio album delivers to you the full package of an ALBUM. She really is the blueprint for female rap; from the bars, to the looks, to the flexibility and versatility of the topics of these tracks. She really is THE STANDARD.

    Possibly her best album I can't choose between this and Queen, hard to pick highlight tracks because I love so many of them but top 4 would probably be all things go, I lied, pills n potions and Shanghai. If you're judging this album based off Anaconda you need to listen to more tracks.

    Melhorando substancialmente do seu primeiro álbum, The Pinkprint equilibra melhor rap e pop na balança, nicki minaj flow também aprimorou muito, perspicácia na composição continua relevante, porém são notáveis algumas faixas mais fracas e até destoantes pro conjunto do álbum.

    One of the best albums of all time. Nicki Minaj kills every track and shows off her range by compiling a set list that includes pop rap, ballads, pure rap, and more. She takes you on a journey with this album and not one song is cracked so don’t skip a track. Whether she’s rapping against heavyweights like Wayne and Drake or getting hyped with Beyoncé and Ariana, she shines no matter what.One of the best albums of all time.

Whether she’s rapping against heavyweights like Wayne and Drake or getting hyped with Beyoncé and Ariana, she shines no matter what. The Pinkprint is a defining album of the 2010’s and will live on in rap culture for many years to come. Very few females succeed in the hip hop industry and with new fans and her flare to bring up issues with the industry, she won’t be forgotten any time soon.… Expand

    Nicki once again shows her versatility across this project and uses her lyricism to get incredibly personal at some points. There’s a song for every mood.

    The only thing stopping this album from getting a 10 is the filler. Some of the tracks probably should've been kicked off to make this album better. Nevertheless, this is her best work and an incredible album.

    An understandable desire to have her traumas understood by everybody inevitably results in a bland mush of melodrama. Despite this, The Pinkprint is Nicki Minaj’s most successful album by a fairly wide margin, as she becomes more empathetic than at any point in the past while Pink Friday’s DMZ between pop and rap becomes little more than a historical footnote in her career.

    For the most part, though, this seems like a step in the wrong direction: a Nicki Minaj album from somebody who’s thoroughly fed up of being Nicki Minaj.
