    Lyrically, its her best album to date. The production, her flow, her raps, her honesty, she got rid of of all her alter-egos and let Onika shine from the beginning to end. Nicki holds her own, even throughout the tracks with features, she's still in-charge. It makes you think, who other female MC is really on her level? The answer is, no one is.

    Star Power. Every body in it but nobody stole the show from Nicki Minaj. From heartbroken singing to straight rapping,she make it reasonable,and also she both did it great.

    Her most cohesive album to date. The lyrics are very personal and honest, the beats are very hard hitting and grimy. This is creative Nicki at her best.

    The Album in general is a piece of art, we had never had a Female Rapper to being this great in every sense of the world. This albums it is truly amazing. who else than the Queen of rap to made an album this great. Nicki Minaj is the REAL Queen of Rap. Everyone should listen to this album and notice how well she appeal to pop and rap.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Conseguiu trazer um álbum quase 100% de hip hop, assim agradando a muitos que talvez tenham se decepcionado com seu antecessor. O álbum é definitivamente o mais cativante da rapper e o melhor é que traz essência dela antes de qualquer um de seus LP's… Expand

    The best album of minaj surely we can hear each musisca without having to skip one, all to the beat or the perfect sound, voice nicki surprises in the " Grand Piano" but this was the best 2014 album

    This album is genius! It tells Nicki's story and it reveals her dark side which I love. This is almost like the Beyoncé 2013 album in terms of tone because it's slow-paced, dark and different to what she previously released which is why this is my favorite Nicki album to date!

    Primeiro porque a bicha fecha. Fez um album espetacular, que me fez pensar na vida, chorar, tentar acompanhar o rap dela. Minaj amadureceu muito desde seu primeiro disco. Sim, ela conseguiu deixar a marca dela

    This is a smart record that has a lot to say and gives listener a reason to hear it. In contrast with her previous records, fans may surprised by what they find. She experimentally plays a different style and direction lead to diversity of this album. Every single one of the tracks sounds promising and good that this plays like a 'Greatest Hits' package.

    The best of the best is Pills n Potions, a slow piano ballad which proved her credibility in delivery both pop and hip hop. Her writing successfully portrayed her true expression, emotion and turn this song into a work of art. Besides, Anaconda, her novelty smash brings genius lyrics with irresistible beats that will be quoted for years to come.

    There are some classic tracks here including I Lied and All Thing Go that we got to hear them at their best. Overall, this will be her best work to date but there's a lot of rooms to explore in producing a very cohesive and solid album. To sum up, the album is a notch away from what the fans expect but it's a step towards the singer attracting new fans and without a doubt she made it successfully.    … Expand

    One hundred percent Nicki's best album yet. The album is flowing with creativity as well as R&B with rap and pop influences. The Crying Game, Trini Dem Girls and Get on Your Knees are the best songs.

    Without a doubt, her best album to date. On this album, Nicki perfectly bends the genre of Hip-Hop and R&B, while still managing to keep her pop sound. One of the best rap albums of 2014. Poor Igloo Australia.

    A really SOLID album, I was PLEASANTLY surprised by Miss Minaj;s ability to entice the pop and hip hop audience. The album provided a much needed bridge, like The Blueprint did, between Rap and Pop. Her vocals in songs like Grand Piano and The Crying Game with Jesse Ware are among the best, it bests Pop stars vocals (Like Katy Perry for example) It deserves the praise its receiving.

When it comes to "shade" no one can go up against Nicki, the delicious "Want Some More" and "Win Again" is a full plate for the vultures that are surrounding the poor nicki.
    In a summary, The Pinkprint is an album that will probably always be an inspiration for the next rappers in the game.    … Expand

    This is a really masterpiece! Nicki always surprises me, but this time it was for real. This work really has its own identity and has wonderful lyrics, a great and authentic rap album. It brings the power of a fierce female rapper to light and at the same time , expresses innocence, sensuality and true feelings.

    Nicki Minaj again shows his talent as a rapper, with a certain power of versatility already shown before, but never with so much power, proved to be a talented rapper and goals of having a solid career, a very cohesive album, keep 22 quality of tracks is not an easy task.
    Nicki deserves recognition as a rapper, as a singer and as an artist.
    Faced with this work we can only give play and enjoy.

    "THIS IS THE PINKPRINT" says Minaj in her most emotional song ever written which opens the album, and from that song the perfection continues. The production of the album is amazing. The album shows so much growth from it's aesthetics to the lyricism. Minaj continues to reign and prove which she is one of the best rappers of all time. From start to finish the album can't be faulted.

    Amazing body of work. Perfect balance of Nicki's vulnerable and personal side with her hard bars and playful lyrics. Definitely topped Pink Friday even though I was skeptical she could when she said she will. Her flow, lyricism, vocals, metaphors, everything is just perfect from start to end.

    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.
