    This project is completely ironic. Megan raps about feminism, black women, female empowerment, etc. Then, she calls lots of women h**s, b*tches and other insults. Why? Just, why?

    From the moment it starts, "Shots Fired", is just engaging. Megan's flow is very good, backed-up by a very well chosen instrumental. "Circles" is put on the cool sample, but sometimes when the instrumental runs out, the song feels too empty. "Do It on the Tip" is really cool! Good chemistry beetween Megan and City Girls!

"Do It on the Tip" is really cool! Good chemistry beetween Megan and City Girls! One of them does a really dope inmpersonation of Nicki Minaj. "Sugar Baby" takes us back to trashy electro production of late 2000s, and it's not as good as previous songs, but still sounds as a good song to twerk to. "Movie" is another okay song. Definitely impressed by Lil Durk, sounding better than on other songs I've heard him, but the chorus how too little punch, so it feels empty. Plus, it kinda sounds like a retread of "WAP", especially with Megan (still impressive!) delivery.
    Cool instrumental, but SZA's vocals sounds kinda weird and off place, but she definitely fits better on "Freaky Girls" than Megan ngl. I'm not saying she's bad here, but I like more R&B approach here. And we finally arrive at "Body", it's cool. That's it haha. "What's New" starts really dope! This beat is just sick, and it's sucha fit for Megan's flow! Another cool-flow song is "Work That", which also tries to be a little more chill-at least from the instrumental side. "Intercourse" follows this chilled trend. Popcaan sounds so unintelligable, but he's really good! And same as "Freaky Girls", I think it would be cool to hear his solo version of the song, however Megan here goes a little down to sing, so it's really nice! "Go Crazy" sounds quirky, not bad!
    "Don't Rock Me to Sleep" is a switch-up to kinda dream-pop-y side of Megan, interesting! If her voice weren't as processed, and that "blah-blah-blah", it would be really gorgerous. But it's catchy! Still late-back, rap "Outside", is cool, it contains nice instrumentation! And it also "sugues" into "Savage Remix" flawlessly! And this remix is really cool, everything is so well-chosen. "Girls in the Hood" is a very heavy song, didn't expecting that! Album closer, "Don't Stop", has those distorted synths, they crash with Megan's voice really good! The first chorus is okay, but the one with Young Thug slays!
    It's a solid body of work. Contains some switch-ups, but nothing groundbreaking. Maybe just rap ain't for me, but I enjoyed Good News nonetheless!    … Expand

    Good News is Megan's debut but it feels like it feels like she has been around for a while, with a few mixtapes under her belt.

Good News presents the same fiery, confident , sensual and explicit Megan that we have gotten to know from her mixtapes. It is a fairly good record as she delivers her sex-positive raps, she unloads on her detractors and flaunts her Texas origins. Most of the songs are of course about being good at sex and acquiring wealth which is in the same as her other releases. Sonically she offers some hard core hip hop beats which make for a good dance session or an evening drive. She invites DaBaby, City girls, Lil Dirk, SZA, Big Sean to deliver some epic collaborations. Not forgetting the great singles she released throughout the year such as Girls in the Hood and Savage. She also samples artists such as Jazmine Sullivan, Juvenile, Eazy-E AND B.I.G, and all the samples are really good. I just feel like the album did not need to be as long as it is, there are some songs which are lyrically and sonically very similar they did not need to all make the album, she could have combined them and made a bop. In my opinion its 17 track album with 12 or 13 great songs. Nonetheless its a very cohesive and fun body of work, her delivery is undeniably good and she will probably continue to dominate this lane of gangsta rap.… Expand

    If you are a fan of Megans you will be disappointed by this album. Having listened to megan for over 3 years, it’s heart breaking to see her release a project this unrefined. The concept is non existent, the order of tracks makes no sense and the cohesion just isn’t there. This honestly feels like a collection of singles rather than a considered body of work, let alone her first album. ToIf you are a fan of Megans you will be disappointed by this album.

Her song writing and especially her flow have become somewhat predictable and she demonstrated little to no innovation in terms of lyrics or subject matter. Finally I think the production is decent if not good. Songs like ‘body’ show innovation from lilju and her team but I can’t help but think a lot of these tracks are too contemporary in sound for megan, who shines on old school beats. But honestly what do I know… Expand

    Megan gained huge fame in this year so she is calling this album her debut I guess. I listened her discography and she has her own style called "hot girl". She is doing pretty great, the album is decent but only hit potential songs are Circles, Shoots Fired, Body.

Trazendo uma produção digna dos clássicos dos anos 90 com uma cara contemporânea com as composições de Megan.

    Megan is a great female rapper, and can spit. But I believe she lacks versatility, and by this I don't mean the way she actually raps, she just doesn't have much change within her lyrics.

I want to hear about Megan's life story, her emotions, coming up in the rap game, and many other things, I need to connect with her to enjoy the music more because having some more emotional songs would give depth to this album. This is what I feel is missing, more depth. None of the tracks majorly stand out to me. However, in the tracks Megan raps on with her male counterparts, her dominance is asserted - and she's strong.

    The features on this album are good, with the highlights being Beyoncé & SZA who are both powerful and add to the songs they're on.

    Overall, this is a good album, but I don't see it as a strong debut. But it will definitely make it easier for her sophomore album to be much better, because I think she can do much better than this.    … Expand

    I hope Meg continues to experiment more with her sound but I really would like to see her try different flow, voices, and rap styles. She seems to be “Meg the One Trick Pony” rather than the Stallion for me. I still feel like Meg hasn’t really found her sound either and this album is basically a way for her to throw some sounds out and see what fans like. Lastly, a pro of this album is the amount of tracks. The album has 17 tracks. My three personal favorites are “Shots Fired” “Movie” and “Freaky Girls.” I also feel like Hip Hop albums in general (for men and women) have a lower standard than pop albums. They tend to be less personal and more club dance (if that makes sense). I would love to see Megan get more personal like she did on “Shots Fired” for future music. Overall, not a terrible album but definitely on the low end. Probably will skip most of the songs.    … Expand

Every song shows that Megan is taking her artisrty seriously and that no matter the sound, she can kill it and give whack, amazing verses without falling repeating herself over and over again (like many other rappers). This album (like all her past projects) is a huge reassurance of her power in music overall.… Expand

    Was expecting more different sounds throughout the album it was quite repetitive until the end of the album, very boring sonically, lyrically its very good with many great messages, album should of been shorter there are many filler tracks on this album

    Megan really did her thing! This is an amazing album, especially since it’s her debut. She shows a lot of versatility and the features are awesome. Savage Remix being my favourite song on the album, followed by Circles and Cry Baby.

    Megan's flow and energy on the mic is beyond that of most rappers this early into their career, and on Good News she flourishes her skillset showing off higher-budget sounds to play with. Most tracks hit in a quick, 2-3 minute manner where they strike sonically almost as quick as they simply end, making standouts very easy to replay and low points even easier to avoid or forget.

    If you enjoy predictable topics and degenerative lyrics then you'll probably like this. Money, sex and clothes on repeat. The people who own these music labels want artist like this to continue to dumb down society which is odd to me.

    Probably one of the worst rap albums released in the past couple years. Megan's lack of versatility in her flow, delivery and lyrical content has been a constant source of criticism of her work for years. In this album, she does try new things, but I think I finally understood why she never branched out into different sounds before — because she is not capable of doing so.

In this album, she does try new things, but I think I finally understood why she never branched out into different sounds before — because she is not capable of doing so. Her singing voice is as atrocious as a singing voice can be, as she displays in Don't Rock Me To Sleep, which is up there with the worst songs I've ever heard. The production is boring, the lyrical content is repetitive and unremarkable, the delivery is subpar. Nothing about this record was good.… Expand

    Really wasn’t a big of fan of Megan’s music until Savage Remix and WAP.This is the first time I listened to a full length album from her and I can say I actually enjoyed this album and think this is a good debut album for a new artist.My faves off the album are Body,Go Crazy,Shots Fired,Circles and of course the singles

    Amazing album, it showcases meg in all her fisty, unapologetic, smart and sincere essence. 17 upbeat feel-good tracks that range from more personal topics to more generic subjects, and that sees megan giving her best bars over 17 top notch hip-hop beats.

    A very well rounded album, that shows Megan's ability to be versatile, as she is able to dominate every song with her commanding voice and genuine talent. The fact that she also collaborated and sampled other talented artists is a great addition. Would definitely recommend whether you consider yourself a fan or not.

    This doesn’t even feel like Megan’s “debut album”. She has had countless “debut releases” such as Fever and SUGA. I won’t be surprised that when this “album” flops she won’t call it an EP or mixtape like she usually does. The songs are all repetitive, nothing new nothing changed. The most boring release of 2020.

    Megan Thee Stallion has exceeded all our expectations. She is an icon. She’s a legend. She’s a princess. She’s a role model. She never fails at anything she does. She’s one of most beautiful women to stand on this earth. She is flawless. Megan is the moment.

    The crisp production makes this feel like a well-thought-out and intentional release, rather than a rushed cash-grab. However, it’s this poise that makes Good News exactly that: good. When held up to past releases like Tina Snow and Fever, Megan’s larger-than-life personality over the Dirty South production she is most familiar with is not showcased to its full potential.

    When Megan moves away from her standard lyrical fare, perpetuating her beef with Tory Lanez on opening track Shots Fired or penning the poppy tune Don’t Rock Me To Sleep, the results are some of the best moments on the album, and if these aspects of her style had been explored some more it could have made for a more diverse LP, but Good News is still chock-full of catchy hooks, stellar verses and feisty attitude.

    “Good News” proves Megan’s prodigious talent, but it also suggests that, with a bit more digging, this gem could emit an even more prismatic shine.
