I dont classify them as humans though.. they dedicate their lives to a woman who doesnt care about them that theyve never met.. like literally they waste their entire teenage life to post and ‘stan’ this woman.. its fucking crazy
I don't give a fuck about no politics in rap, my nigga My little homie Stunna Deuse ain't never comin back, my nigga Lmao nobody care about Nicki album so much that we're actually rappin someone else's lyrics on a video for her
I agree with a lot of what you said about her artistry. I liked the album but strictly because it kept me temporarily entertained. I don't see me listening to it at all again past next month. The barbs are about to be on yo head though, I gave this album a mostly good review and I'm still getting cursed out about the few negative things I said about it lmao
I don't like her album either, but I disagree with your statement that Nicki hasn't rebranded herself. Nicki has definitely made an album where she got deeper. Pink print. She made pills and poison, I lied, bed of lies, buy a heart and many more songs. Her pink print days is also when she stopped wearing the crazy wigs and makeup and made herself more simple. She tried to rebrand herself. The biggest problem for her is she's like a Disney child star that can't get out of her mold. She got on using her sex appeal and when she tried to get more serious, she didn't really get a positive response from it. She seems to almost be forced to stay sexual and I think that's why her passion had obviously depleted over time. That shows a fundamental problem in the rap game. Women in the rap game these days are forced to be sexual to get on and forced to stay like that to stay on. At the same time, every day consumers get tired of that. You're gonna see cardi b facing the same problem in the future.
Not even a Nicki fan, but you're really trippin bruh. Most of your criticisms can be applied to the vast majority of tracks released in the history of the genre.
Trouble man84 No. It was not garbage. It wasn’t my favorite but it’s far from garbage. This woman could do everything y’all suggest and make music y’all claim will help improve her career but I guarantee you’ll still hate bc she’s Nicki Minaj
I'm going to need people to stop forgetting Rhapsody when the topic of female rappers is introduced. Currently she's the only artist that doesn't need to ride the wave of her being a woman. She just makes good music and can be compared with any other rapper out rn. I'm tired of nicki and cardi having so much clout but lack of worth.
CruxKX Where did I say that made them better artist? It’s 2018. You gotta make radio hits to get noticed and for female rappers, you gotta have barely any clothes or a big ass and boobs.
Lauryn Hill is the REAL Queen of Hip-Hop. Nothing Nicki will ever make will even touch 2% of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. A lot of male rapper's discographies can't touch that album.
I was honestly gonna make a video as well but I’m so afraid cuz the Nicki stans are fucking scary. Thank you Shawn for being the voice for us not willing to accept death
Kyle Murphy lol no it wasn't. For a starter rapper sure it was good. For an Eminem feature when he usually makes you a feature on your own song it was weak
One day you'll realize "best album" is either opinion which you can't argue with or something like Sean Cee did when he breaks down exactly why he gives a rating to a certain album, from the sonics to lyrics to premise behind it and comparing the idea behind it to execution
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I feel like you did this for clout. With so many people riding this Nicki hate train, you knew that would boost your video.
Yea but if you trying to compete with new artist and calling yourself a 'Queen', the whole album should be good not one or 2 songs. I don't see Nicki getting a #1 hit off this album let alone 2.
Elevated Goddess if you want female MCs jean deau, jean grey, sa ROC and rapsody are leagues more skilled than Missy and are rapping right now. Especially sa ROC. She is my best female MC at the moment signed to rhymesayers and got the shout out from black thought.
I mean if we're being completely honest this album at best is very mediocre lol her barbie gimmick is played out already, she should've shown growth and maturity and it didnt happen plus it didnt meet the huge expectations she put on this album which is something you should never do lol Nicki needs to move on already the times passed her by
This basically. Like those antics slide when you're younger but now that she's approaching 40....its not "cute" anymore. She acts like a teenager. Its awkward listening to her rap about her vagina on every track. That shit is wack. This is why Beyonce better anyway.
@@JayJayReloaded really? I guess the anacanda and starships videos, and a song literally named off of a sexual act (truffle butter) were all in my imagination 😂, my bad G
*Nicki Minaj might be the top female rapper, but she has no substance. Also I felt Eminem's verse was the only good thing from the entire album. His flow was top-notch again. Really nothing has really happened from this album other than that.*
Evelyn Alfred Substance as in her material is bland and doesn't really _do_ anything or doesn't strike as anything much. Like I didn't really get much of her "roasts" on Barbie Dreams, people were mostly over-reacting on that. She mostly talks about her pussy, fat ass, or fucking other guys, and then equates that clout and sluttiness to being a Queen and the majesty of Rap. Sales wise she is considerable for her category, but she hasn't impacted anything really. If people were to list their top artists or rappers, Nicki Minaj is not the first to really pop into mind. The other top female artists like Beyonce or Rihanna are able to do a lot more in their categories instead of reminding everyone continuously that they have a vagina like that's one of their top assets. Like I mentioned Eminem who has sales, influence, enormous impact, skill, talent, and has ran across the spectrum from songs like Without Me, Rap God, to Mockingbird in a different manner each. And he's been able to transform himself into different eras getting older, more mature, but still remaining dedicated to his work and trying a bit of everything with success.
Natasha cutie pie That's another thing that pisses me off. *There's a difference between current relevance and overall relevance.* Don't be a stupid fuck and be able to tell the difference. People only like to focus on the present. If you look at rap in its whole picture and look at Nicki Minaj's entire career from start to now, then she's still one of the top female rappers. Nothing is going to change that lol. Currently, she's probably not as relevant or trending, but that's a whole 'nother thing. Take other artists like JAY-Z, Nas, Kanye West, Eminem, etc. These guys have been in the game for a long time and even though they don't have as much current relevance, they still have enough overall relevance to be considered legends in their respective fields. Sales aren't really everything. . . I don't really listen to Nicki all that much or am a fan, but if we're talking about top female artists regardless of current sale or not, she is going to be considered on that list
TheFaze Man don't nobody wanna hear that shit. People act like Kim and other females never had a rap career. Everybody falls off and Nicki has. All those fans and she can't get a #1 and has no Gramny. Smh. I think that's sad and says a lot. Her fans grew up and want better Quality music but she still stuck in those Thot bop days to keep a super young fanbase and forgotten her core fans. She needs to grow tf up.
I’m not the biggest Nicki fan but almost every song in this album was added to my playlist so a solid 8.5/10 from me. Also, Nicki’s lyricism and punchlines really reminding me of ‘Golden Era’ Lil Wayne- who’s my favourite rapper. Just my opinion though, I can see from the comments a lot of people didn’t like it. Only six other albums I’ve ever heard has got 9 and above from me. 1. Tha Carter 3- 9.5/10 2. Tha Carter 4- 10/10 3. No Ceilings- 9.5/10 4. Da Drought 3- 9/10 5. Beautiful Thugger Girls- 10/10 6. Curtain Call- 9/10
dadorage I get it but I rather listen to nicki than trippie red that was definitely some time I can’t get back my god that album was horrible idk how Shawn thought that was good 🤦🏾♀️
I think this my first time seeing a rating go Nah/10 😂 . . . (But i can’t lie the one track I like is Majesty ft.Eminem & Labrinth and that’s it but that’s just my opinion)
Damn harsh. I wasn't expecting Lauryn Hill but I can't say trash. I have heard many many many notable artists albums male and female that was much worse. As far as Cardi and Nicki there aren't comparable as artists. Cardi I believe doesn't write any of her songs. We need to categorize certain ppl I guess artist versus performer. Either way respect your opinion but for me it's hard to call anything with a thought trash when surrounded by so much thoughtless music out.
I’m not her fan but queen album is so good lyrically Barbie dreams llc And hard white are dope songs. If Nicki was a male everybody would give her props. Y’all not liking her because she’s a female. And the album was number 2 but everyone saying it’s flopped that don’t even makes sense.
Why are only staight men here who never embraced or apreciated female rappers and don't @ me but it's true. Like as many people as have been waiting for "Scorpion" have been waiting for Queen. Also Nicki totally changed her style. Queen has nothing to do with Pink Friday. Stupid. And if sexappeal is all you see🤦♀️🤦♀️. Like we don't judge male rappers fo rapping about "fucking hoes and doing drugs" 90% of the time. Period.
You literally skipped over every point I made to force a narrative that you can follow lmao. Rapsody(female rapper) I gave album of the year to last year for Laila's Wisdom. Also your claim that just as many people have been waiting on Queen as Scorpion is extremely false and if it were true Nicki would've sold significantly more but I know your excuse will be "they marketed Drakes album different", lmao. Listen to more female rappers than just Nicki Minaj & you'll realize how much she falls short. Noname(female rapper) had a great project as well.
Y'all expect too much from female rappers. Always comparing them, judging them. While male rappers like Migos over here are celebrated for their mumble raps. At least we can understand Nicki. It might not be her best album, but y'all know damn well it's better than the mumble raps.
Luzia why can’t we expect much from female rappers? Migos have 6 good songs tops. We’re not comparing her to mumble rap because that’s two different types of music. Nickis album was bad, and using the excuse that mumble rap is more celebrated is dumb.
I notice everytime you speak on nicki it’s sum negative 😂😂 and I’m not even a fan but I notice whenever something positive is trending about her you don’t speak on that you only associate her with negative
spear mint Anyway there’s no point comparing them anyway because they’re entirely different types of artists, that’s like comparing Kendrick to Playboi Carti...
I think the fault is in the title of the album. The name Queen carries such a high expectations and much of the song in the album wasn't on that level.
@@sleezyana exactly. They wont talk bout how cardi B came in and lowered the bar for female rap. Thats why nicki didnt have competition for 8 years. She was her own competition. No one could have stepped in that time and done it like her. Still discrediting her till this day
hey Shawn. I literally have been waiting for your review. now let me grab my popcorn and soda. I think ur really cute and I love ur analysis of music. Sending love all the way from Nigeria, Africa💕💕
im a long time nicki fan but i fully agree with what you said. i feel very let down by this album. after a whole year of posturing against cardi b, album hype and her crying about the nicki hate train, i was so ready for this album to be her best yet, but now even i'm starting to see her as the villain. i think theres only 2 songs on queen that i like now, some of the other ones i liked initially, i have already grown sick of. i feel like a lot of the album was rushed, a lot of the songs have pop culture references in them that are from this year specifically, it makes me wonder how much time and effort she really put into it. i think if you're going to tell everyone that you're the queen over and over again, and release an album showing that you're the queen of rap, you have to bring your absolute best. i still love nicki and i hope she gets help with whatever issues she's clearly going through that are affecting her creative flow and she can come back soon with something better. the saddest part is that one of the songs on this album "good form" i actually consider to be one of her best pieces of all time, i think she's still got a lot of creativity inside of her but it's being suppressed by her own emotional issues. and i also think she needs to stop taking drugs.
Shawnnnn I love how you aren’t afraid to speak your mind and not sugar coat anything for the fans BUTTTT some of the stuff you said is false starting off with the first 25 seconds of the video you said “the album no one has been waiting for” but “Queen” was trending on twitter months before it came out and promotion was amazing on this album apart from two songs being leaked. Love you Shawn
I feel like you took this album personally and just nitpicked to have excuses to not like it. I mean the album ain’t all that, but assuming she’s “insecure” is immediately a dumb reason to dislike it. Nahh. The album has disorganization and cohesiveness problems, and too many fillers. It’s a collection of songs rather than a work of project. It has nothing to do with her personality or why she is rapping/who she is rapping about.
I’ve been waiting for your review since yesterday and i could not disagree more with you. I give this album a 8/10. When you mention Nicki Minaj failure of reinventing herself, it’s like calling water wet. Nicki Minaj knows her formula and keeps it because it WORKS for her! She did not amass the hordes of fans she has to then turn around and all a sudden become a “woke” rapper and run the risk of loosing those fans. Also, consider that maybe she’s not at a point in her personal or professional life to reinvent herself. I thought the album had the usual elements of braggadocio, which puts us women in a certain mood, as well as elements of romance and vulnerability. For sure, Nicki is no Kendrick Lamar, but I definitely got the sense that she made an effort and really put work into this album.
Marie Bai I agree with you! I don’t know what ppl are listening to when they say the album is trash. I like it. People have superrr high expectations for her and don’t just listen to the MUSIC and what she’s saying. and for her to take a 4 year hiatus from dropping albums, having her album peak at #2 isn’t bad at ALL. People keep comparing Cardi’s FIRST album to Nicki’s 4th album that she dropped after not even dropping one for 4 years smh. Come on now.
Blackie Chan The greatest rappers to do it (Kendrick, Royce, Joe, Jay) would disagree. I'm a writer myself so I dive into nearly everyone's discography. I've heard jaw dropping lines from her a couple times and failing that plenty of good bars from at least a technical standpoint. Idk why she doesn't mix bars with the pop records anymore
Shawn you dish out a lot of criticism so I hope you can take some too... I feel like you are way off with your review of this album. I never cared for Nicki Minaj before but I have to be fair and acknowledge that this album has some great rhythmic tracks and Nicki is an absolute master at riding a beat. This album is underrated. The Mallory Bros were much more fair in their review.
The funny thing about this review is you can tell this was during the hate train look at the comments . This her 4th album and it out sold most of your favs. It’s mad people 4 years late reviewing this and have to admit they slept on it . This video show y’all dudes out here just riding the wave of what the narrative is .
I'm not a barb but this is bullshit the album was fire and broke records she's one of the best lyricist of our time.. yall down in the comments hating but remember not everyone's an artist but everyone is a fucking critic
Disappointed Shawn didn't photoshop himself into the "Queen" cover
Megalouis100 W
I wouldn't Photoshop myself into garbage tbh
Megalouis100 i think he only does that for reactions
No Homo; would've been a better album cover!!

“ the album no one has been waiting for “ LMFAOOO if nicki fans find this video I feel sorry for ur comments

LMFAOOOOOOOOO Nah nateclips people are different breeds on god!!!
The best part is when Nicki tells you halfway through that "this shit's fire, yo" on the outro of dullest track on the album.
In the words of Kendrick Lamar "BOO BOO"
Fourteen years later going hard like we used to on the dead homies
I don't give a fuck about no politics in rap, my nigga

Came in this game, you stuck your fangs in this game
You wore no chain in this game your hood, your name in this game
I agree with a lot of what you said about her artistry. I liked the album but strictly because it kept me temporarily entertained. I don't see me listening to it at all again past next month. The barbs are about to be on yo head though, I gave this album a mostly good review and I'm still getting cursed out about the few negative things I said about it lmao

(But i can’t lie the one track I like is Majesty ft.Eminem & Labrinth and that’s it but that’s just my opinion)
Pissed off nicki minaj stans wya?? 😂😂
Rapsody still the best female rapper out don't @ me
TCARTR // TheDrumaddictOne Snow Tha Product is better to me, you can’t beat the female Tech N9ne
Suddenly all these Rapsody fans but yet she has the weakest following.. Do you people actually support Rapsodys music?
She just don't have hits
3DNatee is another talented female rapper who can rap with the best of them, male or female
That Barbie dreams track was pretty good not gonna lie. But The Album itself..... nah fam
Vic Robbins Lil Kim did the exact same song on her Hard Core Album with the same title. 😏
When I got this notification I thought it said "Nicki Minaj is BAD" and for some reason I thought I knew exactly what it meant 😂

You a goof sometimes but I still love your channel I personal think it’s better than the needledrops channel but that’s just my opinion
SOLOMON NEAL it's not hard to be better than needledrops
I forgot dat album came out tbh. Gave up on nicki a long time ago
Sa kap boule
Manuel Ochoa bitch dat aint no insult 😂😂
Not even Eminem can save this.
Alex Canas He couldn't even save himself with his last album so that's kinda predictable.
lgeass88 I mean the album did sell more than other rappers
Eminem stopped being able to save things after 2005
Joaquín Perez Prieto At least his worst album than the albums Playboi carti and Lil Xan dropped this year.
Ben Albert shut ur trump supporting ass up Eminem is known for saving tracks with his features
High School Musical soundtracks are 100 times better. Just saying, you should probably review them
Pauly V hell yeah we want THE WHOLE HSM SOUNDTRACK TRILOGY
Mario Arevalo we don’t want it. We need it.
Pauly V Reach
MsVamPireChic ain’t a reach at all, everyone knows HSM is better than this album. Maybe even Nicki in general
Pauly V HSM soundtracks are fucking fireee bruh
You’re a brave soul for actually listening to this
lol
that talk is real
Personally I liked the album but I understand your opinion, good review
Damn harsh. I wasn't expecting Lauryn Hill but I can't say trash. I have heard many many many notable artists albums male and female that was much worse. As far as Cardi and Nicki there aren't comparable as artists. Cardi I believe doesn't write any of her songs. We need to categorize certain ppl I guess artist versus performer. Either way respect your opinion but for me it's hard to call anything with a thought trash when surrounded by so much thoughtless music out.
Nick Mintz 💯
I’m not her fan but queen album is so good lyrically Barbie dreams llc And hard white are dope songs. If Nicki was a male everybody would give her props. Y’all not liking her because she’s a female. And the album was number 2 but everyone saying it’s flopped that don’t even makes sense.

If Nicki was a dude she would have nothing to rap about
d o m i n i c h instead of her stank pussy she’d talk about her stank dick
A gay dude then
Maybe she would rap about her riches
Wrong- she doesn't have anything to rap about anyway.
It’s ok for dudes to rap about fucking bitches and doing/selling drugs but when it comes down to females...
Why are only staight men here who never embraced or apreciated female rappers and don't @ me but it's true. Like as many people as have been waiting for "Scorpion" have been waiting for Queen. Also Nicki totally changed her style. Queen has nothing to do with Pink Friday. Stupid. And if sexappeal is all you see🤦♀️🤦♀️. Like we don't judge male rappers fo rapping about "fucking hoes and doing drugs" 90% of the time. Period.
You literally skipped over every point I made to force a narrative that you can follow lmao. Rapsody(female rapper) I gave album of the year to last year for Laila's Wisdom. Also your claim that just as many people have been waiting on Queen as Scorpion is extremely false and if it were true Nicki would've sold significantly more but I know your excuse will be "they marketed Drakes album different", lmao. Listen to more female rappers than just Nicki Minaj & you'll realize how much she falls short. Noname(female rapper) had a great project as well.
2 months later and this album is ALOT BETTER THAN ITS INITIAL LISTEN
Exactly
That hand writing messed me up, Michael Jackson bad means good, but no you meant just regular bad 😂
Bacall McElroy i thought so too, even that smug face he makes was kinda misleading😂
Y'all expect too much from female rappers. Always comparing them, judging them. While male rappers like Migos over here are celebrated for their mumble raps. At least we can understand Nicki. It might not be her best album, but y'all know damn well it's better than the mumble raps.
Luzia why can’t we expect much from female rappers? Migos have 6 good songs tops. We’re not comparing her to mumble rap because that’s two different types of music. Nickis album was bad, and using the excuse that mumble rap is more celebrated is dumb.
Female rappers shouldn't have high expectations set on them? I feel someone should go listen to Bizounce- By Olivia :p
I notice everytime you speak on nicki it’s sum negative 😂😂 and I’m not even a fan but I notice whenever something positive is trending about her you don’t speak on that you only associate her with negative
We’re not letting nicki get away with dissing our king, Young Thug😩
Soapey Inc. gay for calling another man your king
WM13EDIT Official our king young thug; no homo*
WM13EDIT Official toxic masculinity 😂
She wasnt dissin him it was a joke song
Braeden Myrick we know, its called a “joke”😲
This album just fuels the Cardi>Nicki argument
W R Noname & Rapsody>> both
spear mint fact
Dessa & Sammus > Both
spear mint grass is green
spear mint
Anyway there’s no point comparing them anyway because they’re entirely different types of artists, that’s like comparing Kendrick to Playboi Carti...
I think the fault is in the title of the album. The name Queen carries such a high expectations and much of the song in the album wasn't on that level.
‘The album nobody has been waiting for’ 😂 facts

The bar really gets raised when it comes to Nicki watching this proves it
A lyrical analysis on a playful song (in which nicki said isn’t even lyrical) LMAOO y’all don’t do this with cardi 🤧
@@sleezyana exactly. They wont talk bout how cardi B came in and lowered the bar for female rap. Thats why nicki didnt have competition for 8 years. She was her own competition. No one could have stepped in that time and done it like her. Still discrediting her till this day
ye because nicki puts herself on such a pedestal and she under performs

@@camron147 Yeh but after some stuff came out we now realize he one
hey Shawn. I literally have been waiting for your review. now let me grab my popcorn and soda. I think ur really cute and I love ur analysis of music. Sending love all the way from Nigeria, Africa💕💕
Thank you! Shawn Cee. I needed that.
im a long time nicki fan but i fully agree with what you said. i feel very let down by this album. after a whole year of posturing against cardi b, album hype and her crying about the nicki hate train, i was so ready for this album to be her best yet, but now even i'm starting to see her as the villain. i think theres only 2 songs on queen that i like now, some of the other ones i liked initially, i have already grown sick of. i feel like a lot of the album was rushed, a lot of the songs have pop culture references in them that are from this year specifically, it makes me wonder how much time and effort she really put into it. i think if you're going to tell everyone that you're the queen over and over again, and release an album showing that you're the queen of rap, you have to bring your absolute best. i still love nicki and i hope she gets help with whatever issues she's clearly going through that are affecting her creative flow and she can come back soon with something better. the saddest part is that one of the songs on this album "good form" i actually consider to be one of her best pieces of all time, i think she's still got a lot of creativity inside of her but it's being suppressed by her own emotional issues. and i also think she needs to stop taking drugs.
Shawnnnn I love how you aren’t afraid to speak your mind and not sugar coat anything for the fans BUTTTT some of the stuff you said is false starting off with the first 25 seconds of the video you said “the album no one has been waiting for” but “Queen” was trending on twitter months before it came out and promotion was amazing on this album apart from two songs being leaked. Love you Shawn
This albums only relevant Bc of the song where she dissed everyone she let beat. She took an L. She’s on the way to becoming Russ.
This album was garbage
Canon Carter fuck ur opinion
Yara Bel you sound just slightly triggered...
Yara Bel shut yo ass up
I am sure you didn’t listen the album
I guess you have a fuckin covid.
I feel like you took this album personally and just nitpicked to have excuses to not like it. I mean the album ain’t all that, but assuming she’s “insecure” is immediately a dumb reason to dislike it. Nahh. The album has disorganization and cohesiveness problems, and too many fillers. It’s a collection of songs rather than a work of project. It has nothing to do with her personality or why she is rapping/who she is rapping about.
I’ve been waiting for your review since yesterday and i could not disagree more with you. I give this album a 8/10. When you mention Nicki Minaj failure of reinventing herself, it’s like calling water wet. Nicki Minaj knows her formula and keeps it because it WORKS for her! She did not amass the hordes of fans she has to then turn around and all a sudden become a “woke” rapper and run the risk of loosing those fans. Also, consider that maybe she’s not at a point in her personal or professional life to reinvent herself. I thought the album had the usual elements of braggadocio, which puts us women in a certain mood, as well as elements of romance and vulnerability. For sure, Nicki is no Kendrick Lamar, but I definitely got the sense that she made an effort and really put work into this album.
Marie Bai If this shit is an 8/10 then damn your music taste must be some hot shit
Cold Waters maybe, but I don’t listen to music to please others.
I give it a solid 8/10 too. Album was fire and although I like Cardi B, Nicki put in that work! Cardi .....not so much.
Marie Bai I agree with you! I don’t know what ppl are listening to when they say the album is trash. I like it. People have superrr high expectations for her and don’t just listen to the MUSIC and what she’s saying. and for her to take a 4 year hiatus from dropping albums, having her album peak at #2 isn’t bad at ALL. People keep comparing Cardi’s FIRST album to Nicki’s 4th album that she dropped after not even dropping one for 4 years smh. Come on now.
AGREE 100%
What's saltier?
McDonalds fries or Nicki fans after this video
1:55 and 0:24 couldn't manage to go two minutes without two contradicting statements, shows how trash this video was going to be

at first I thought ''queen is bad'' was the name of the album
I admire your setup and backdrop!! Very clean/professional 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Ayo 😂 you nailed it this time
The only people who looked forward to this were females that thought nicki minaj can still rap. And her stans 😂
Just Malik she can. Idk why she doesn't 🤦🏾♂️
Nicki has the potential to genuinely be considered the Queen of rap. But all she's been putting out for the last however long has been hot garbage.
MattMatrixJohnson she can’t
Blackie Chan The greatest rappers to do it (Kendrick, Royce, Joe, Jay) would disagree. I'm a writer myself so I dive into nearly everyone's discography. I've heard jaw dropping lines from her a couple times and failing that plenty of good bars from at least a technical standpoint. Idk why she doesn't mix bars with the pop records anymore
As a hardcore Nick fan, I completely agree with everything you said. This album was just lackluster and uninspired, i'm highly disappointed with it
Shawn you dish out a lot of criticism so I hope you can take some too... I feel like you are way off with your review of this album. I never cared for Nicki Minaj before but I have to be fair and acknowledge that this album has some great rhythmic tracks and Nicki is an absolute master at riding a beat. This album is underrated. The Mallory Bros were much more fair in their review.
The funny thing about this review is you can tell this was during the hate train look at the comments . This her 4th album and it out sold most of your favs. It’s mad people 4 years late reviewing this and have to admit they slept on it . This video show y’all dudes out here just riding the wave of what the narrative is .
love the background shawn!👍🏾
"Nah/10" Damn bruh!
_the tea has been spilled and its scorching with some truth beneath it_
Shawn trippin on Barbie Dreams. That track was jokes as hell.
Hahaha you are mean, the album no one was waiting for. Love your videos...
I've been waiting for this review!!! Man you are tough to impress 😅
eat some food and take some vitamins before you go judging Nicky
I just went into this video to see all the insane Nicki Minaj fans I’ve heard so much about.
You were paid to hate on this album.
I'm not a barb but this is bullshit the album was fire and broke records she's one of the best lyricist of our time.. yall down in the comments hating but remember not everyone's an artist but everyone is a fucking critic
Saying this album was bad is Insane
Eminem was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he coming back from the grave
The start of this video has me rolling 😂😭😂😭
Remy Ma buried her so she can’t come back. Please don’t let me play Shether.
The only thing she did is bury her own career 💀💀
dude your videos get better and better. I fuck with you bro keep it going 👌
Shawn have you ever done throwback album reviews? I’d like to know what you think of The Naked Truth or Notorious KIM.
