    A good album for someone like her but nothing compare to Nicki Minaj. Iggy Azalea can easily outrap her.

    A great debut. OMFG. Is one of the best albums from a female artist this decade. Better than Queen. And aged like classy wine.

    This album might be good for a 5 year old’s birthday party - but it definitely doesn’t claim her throne as the ”Queen of rap”. The only good tracks on this album are ”I Like It” and ”I Do” where SZA’s vocals saves the song.

    A estreia da rapper Cardi B com Invasion of Privacy é extremamente positiva. Neste debut ela mostra sua autenticidade na sua forma de fazer rap, sendo a melhor rapper feminina atualmente.

    THUs is the first album I’ve ever listened to that I didn’t skip, I liked every single song and know all of them. My favorites are: Ring, I Do, Drip and Thru Your Phone.

    If not solid, a good rap album. Due to the lack of success of albums by female rappers, this album got the hype. However its something which is not directly coming from Cardi. This is a trap album not a hip hop album with just the clubs kept in mind. It lacks authenticity but it definitely has a few club bangers!

All the songs were incredible, the bars were fire, Cardi genuinely proved to people what she can do! This album is great compared to the other album 'Queen'. The order of the songs were great, you can tell the EFFORT put into it, and you can most definitely tell the authenticity behind it. This album broke and set records and without a doubt this just proves that Cardi is here to stay and that she's staying here for longer than 15 minutes honey! Expand

    Invasion of Privacy embodies that tenacity and that relentlessness; plainspoken and raw, with just enough polish. Such a fighter’s spirit is endearing, and, to a certain extent, galvanizing.

    Honestly other than "The Culture II" by the Migos, which includes her husband, Offset, this is the worst rap album I have ever heard. All the beats are similar and unoriginal. Quite boring and not up to par with her female rapper counterparts. Plus that singing was...something. Expected this to be better after recent proof of her having a ghostwriter. #Disappointed

    While some of the content of this album has been done before, Invasion of Privacy, while being the first Cardi B album excluding mixtapes, show's a lot of promise for the 25 year old rapper. Some of the songs seem to be fillers, but there are lots of solid tracks that help overcome those. All in all good album and I would recommend it

    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.
