SEARCY, Ar. (LP) — Queen is a album made by Trinidadian-born American rapper Nicki Minaj. It was released on August 10, 2018, through Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records. It is Minaj’s first album in nearly four years, following The Pinkprint (2014). The album has made 78,000 pure sales. It was debuted at number 2 on the ten billboard charts and the first week of it’s release, also It charted within the top ten in other music markets, such as Australia, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA. In my opinion, the Queen album is one of Nicki Minaj’s best albums of her career. The Queen album has caused Nicki Minaj to win 5 awards this year and 2 nominations. Her best song on the Queen album is GoodForm chosen by the majority of her fans which are named the barbs.

Despite of Nicki Minaj’s great album, it had caused a lot of problems on Nicki Minaj’s behalf. Nicki Minaj had made a song for the Queen album named “Sorry” sampled from the song of Tracy Chapman “Baby can I hold you”. Nicki Minaj had got ahold of Tracy to ask her if she could use this sample of Tracy’s song and Tracy had declined the request and Nicki Minaj was okay and fine with that until a Dj got ahold of it and leaked it making Tracy think that Nicki Minaj did it on purpose. Later after, Nicki was accused of Plagiarising Tracy Chapman’s “Baby can I hold you” and was sued. But even after that, Nicki Minaj comes back like nothing changed and didn’t lose a thing.

Nicki Minaj had delivered a album that was fire with so much drama, tea, and shade. The song “Barbie Dreams”, she shades Drake to Young Thug to Meek Mill to more rapper, talking about how they aren’t good enough for her. Elsewhere, “LLC” shades artists who use ghostwriters and clamor for famous co-signs And “Hard White” goes after rappers who got their start.

Nicki Minaj has had a great year and has made this year a great year for her fans, the barb’s. She has delivered this year. Even though this wasn’t her best year, she still did her best and has made charts after charts and getting that coin (money.) You should take a listen into the Queen album and voice your opinion.
