    While every track in here follows a rather boring formula, there was a lot of good stuff on this album nonetheless. Thumbs up.

    Never thought that I would say this, but Cardi B's debut is incredibly awesome. Came out swinging and proved she deserves a place in the rap world. Well done madam.

    I’m going to be honest here. I actually think Cardi B has one of the most iconic debut albums from a female rapper of all time. She came from virtually nothing, to something in such a short amount of space of time and she didn’t just slowly come up, she exploded onto the music scene. Her career just catapulted.

    I think, and I could be wrong, but I think when Bodak Yellow went on to do
    I’m going to be honest here. I actually think Cardi B has one of the most iconic debut albums from a female rapper of all time. She came from virtually nothing, to something in such a short amount of space of time and she didn’t just slowly come up, she exploded onto the music scene. Her career just catapulted.

    I think, and I could be wrong, but I think when Bodak Yellow went on to do so well, Cardi and her record label were under so much pressure in wanting to deliver such a great album. Being a female rapper, well, a female artist in general is actually a lot of work these days as you are always pitted against someone, in which, in Cardi’s case, she’s constantly pitted against Nicki Minaj, despite even working with each other.
    Fortunately, Cardi and her team delivered because this album is going to be one of those albums in years to come that is iconic for not only laying down new foundations as a female rapper, but also laying down foundations for what looks like is going to be such a huge career.

    This is just the start in Cardi’s career and I believe we’re going to see many big things from her. She’s humble, she doesn’t have an attitude towards other artists, she’s talented, and she knows what she’s doing. If she plays her cards right, she could be huge.

    Well done Cardi for delivering a bomb ass album.

    One of the bests rap album of this century, the fact that she didn't write the songs is a fact that you forget hearing this album, the production and everything else just make you bop and forget about it, she's Cardi B, she's powerful, she's talented and the fact she isn't coming to play is killing people out there.

    This is such a solid debut female rap album. This album shows Cardi as unfiltered and raw, but also soft and personal. I also like the diversity of the tracks because of this album’s use of rap, trap, r&b, soul, and latin trap music. This album is very strong and it deserves all the critical acclaim it is getting.

    OK I don't understand why so many people hate Cardi's music anyway. I think this album is fine. Cardi's music is fine. I listen to her songs whenever I workout at the gym and it's good. I like the production and Cardi's rapping style. I think it's good. My favorites on this album are "Ring", "I Like It", "I Do", and "Bodak Yellow"

    rap queen, an album with complete lyrics that transport you to the real rap without being altered or misused by mixing it with the pop genre, thanks to this album the new rap style gerarchy has begun which, a year and a half after its release, all the rappers have wanted to copy the same style but without the success of it.

    Great and cohesive rap album. At 13-tracks, "Invasion of Privacy" is the perfect length for a debut album and has a little bit of everything: introspection, bangers, and genre fusions (Latin, trap, and R&B). The production is tight and Cardi's flow is full of energy, especially on stand-out tracks such as the classic "Bodak Yellow" and 8-bit banger "Money Bag"

    Overall a great debut

    A very strong album, however, there are many lapses. The album features many songs which could have been further promoted and end up taking away from the album rather than adding to it. Features could have been used to more extent, and the lyrics on some of the songs seem somewhat purposeless. The beats are very similar on each track, and this takes away from the album as a whole.

Bickenhead me parece la peor canción por muchas razones que no daré. bodak yellow es una obra maestra del rap, con una letra fuerte sin volverse ordinaria. be careful no fue escrita por cardi ¿como dices que tengan cuidado contigo si tu ni siquiera escribes la canción donde lo dices?.Best life es de las mejores del album pero ¿cardi no se arrepiente de nada? ni de la violencia que ejerció? mmmm. i like it te deja sin palabras, solo una divertida y bizarra colaboracion que no te deja ningun mensaje,ring cambia el sentido del album haciendolo aun mas confuso ¿que mensaje nos quiere dejar cardi? solo le doy 7 puntos porque no hay un mensaje claro y muchas veces se abusa de auto tune, pero letras y la producción audiovisual es perfecto.

    Cardi B is merely the latest to appear into the mainstream, a position she is sure to occupy for some time, and with enough potential showing on her debut release to give hope to anyone listening that she can only get better from here.

    Invasion of Privacy is filled with carefully crafted tracks which ably show her many sides. Cardi B knows who she is and where she came from and she isn’t trying to hide it from anyone.

    Invasion of Privacy is a cohesive piece of work that demands to be heard in full, from front to back, side to side, on the pole and on the stove.
