    The best body of work by Nicki Minaj, her rap roots are here for new topics as sad childhood or past relationsships, sex metaphors and even motivation songs for people with low trust in themselves

The only real issues on this album are the featured artists and a few pacing issues which is to be expected on an album this long, but I do believe this is her best body of work to date.

    Minaj is a game-changer. But, this shows not a lot of what she could do.
    She. is. not. a. singer.

    I would have loved to see badass solo rapped songs. It is still not bad, but not good either.

    Best female rap album of the decade. Nobody ever can put out an album like this. None of your faves could ever do what Nicki did with this album.

    It is actually a masterpiece, a very versatile album by a very versatile artist, but without leaving its rap essence, an album that carries an excellent thread, and where each of his songs provide me with Character and joy.

    All Things Go - One of the best songs of the year. Feeling Myself - The BEST Collab by female
    Anaconda - deserves a Grammy for Best Rap Song

    O The Pinkprint é um álbum absolutamente lendário para o cenário musical. Suas músicas são extremamente coesas e as rimas de Nicki Minaj são tão bem estruturadas, que podemos ver além de uma rapper, uma pessoa, uma pessoal sensível.

    We have very weak tracks and a very average hip-hop and nothing innovative, the details that Nicki always comes on her albums was taken away and weakening the potential that had the album. the slower and melodic tracks are with out-of-writing compositions that we usually see. hip-hop for the world of hip-hop. You could see Nicki's best potential on other albums ahead.

    She really gave us another classic in 2014. The emotional vulnerability of this album and artistry that she possesses is unmatched. This is literally the pinkprint for female rappers to follow. She is the standard and she is a legend.

    One of Nicki Minaj’s most well-received and sonically flexible bodies of work. With exceptional tracks like Pills N Potions, Anaconda, Grand Piano, Truffle Butter, Shanghai, and All Things Go. This album is the most vulnerable and diverse Minaj has to offer. There is truly a song for everyone.

    This is the best album of a rapper. It has quite a big lyric that varies from sentimental to something sexy. Nicki showed off with this album it's amazing. The QUEEN of rap

    This is the best album of Nicki Minaj.

    Starting off with All Things Go, I Lies and The Crying Game, Minaj sets a sad, melancholic theme for the album. The songs are followed by more sensual, self-love songs (Get On Your Knees, Anaconda, Favorite). After a few happy songs, Minaj returns to the sad tone, which she does effortlessly.

    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.

    This album gets me mixed feelings. Despite having some of Nicki's best hits, its lenght can make it somehow boring and repetitive.

    Every song was a bop! This album was very consistent. The only song I ended up disliking was Big Daddy. Nicki's verse was amazing but Meek Mill sounded atrocious and street the track into a downfall. Due to Meek, I feel like Big Daddy doesn't belong one the 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.
