    Very bad album. Cardi b can't rap and write lyrics for songs. She is a project, of course

    She should've kept the whole album. Mediocre. I'll give her a 1 for effort though.

    The praise this album is receiving is confusing to be, to be a true rapper you have to write your own raps. Taking into consideration Cardi has not written any of the raps on the album it is incredibly poor. Hype has won over talent in the case of this album. I very much doubt Cardi will have any kind of longevity.

    This is the worst Rap / Hip & Hop album ever to come out of the current scene. Cardi proves that it is not good enough when the item is QUALITY and not SALES. Verses written by her boyfriend Offset, NO FLOW, generic songs. 0/10

    This album was lack luster. Cardi could barely stand on her own on most track and needed features, and other samples to carry this album. She also had a large team of writers that takes away from the artistry of rap. This isn't pop or r&b, writing matters. Bodak Yellow carried the album.

    The whole vibe and sound is very amateurish, weak "rap", the technique is lacking, it's like listening to a 5 year old rap, she did not write a word on it, and the lyrics ain't that great, although Money Bag & I Like It are cute bops

    Shame, it's not a Rap. She is just singer and puppet. and I respect her Producers and Songwriters who help her album.

    This album is a hot mess. If the album was designed to be a remix of Bodak Yellow, it worked 13 times. The thing that boggles me is that people have seriously considered this album to be "the greatest hip hop album of time". As if To pimp a Butterfly, The Marshall Mathers LP, Care for Me, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Scum F*ck Flower Boy,. and Channel Orange don't exist. Her effort,This album is a hot mess.

As if To pimp a Butterfly, The Marshall Mathers LP, Care for Me, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Scum F*ck Flower Boy,. and Channel Orange don't exist. Her effort, considering that she doesn't write her own lyrics, doesn't make her own beats, or really didn't take any attention to detail at all, she somehow screwed up her own album by just being her awful self. The only good thing i could possibly take away is SZA's vocals on some of the tracks, but otherwise this is pathetic. Expand

    No new metaphors, a whole album just taljing about money and sex. I see that its a easy way to hit the chart with easy metaphors and generic flow. But this higly antecipated album should have been better

    Didn't got the hype of this album. She just did what Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj did before her but worse. Not anything against subject matter cause I enjoy rap about sexuality, success and equality. She should just make better music about the subject she is currently doing.

    This is so boring. The flows are not good. The bars are very low. The rapping skills of Cardi isn't good.

    Cardi don't write her own raps and it's bad. The tracks are versatile and cute BUT again, the music isnt deep enough and for a debut album it's a no

    The production in this album is really good but the lack of versatility and her using the same flow makes the album only for hits and really no use of talent.

    album mediano, claramente da pra notar que investimento no álbum foi a única coisa que teve. Sinceramente? Batidas iguais.

    horrible album. it has no cohesiveness and barely has any hard bars or versatility in flows. a bunch of radio singles put together. they are cute bops but this doesn’t feel like an album it feels like a mixtape.

    Simplesmente horrível, raps completamente genéricos, nenhuma mudança de flow e o principal, nenhuma canetada da própria Cardi B. A única faixa boa é Get Up 10.

    Cardi B is a trash rapper, has no talent, copy's nicki everytime, thinking she is the queen of rap but can hardly write a rap, uses payola for critics, sales, streams and radio. She grew fame coz atlantic saw nicki becoming a bigger by the day, so they used cardi as a pawn to destroy a legends career but they did not succed and now cardi looks dumb

    The album was overall very underwhelming. It will not last long and probably are like milk. It’s a no from me.

    The 2018 cultural zeitgeist is back with a monster album that encompasses the entire social media spectrum. Through it's 13-anthematic tracks, Cardi skids and skips through various 808s that process through the mind like arsenals. The all encompasing Cardi skirts over the future like she dodging bullets.

    the album itself left a lot to be desired, some songs have almost the same beats of Bodak Yellow, it should innovate and not stay in the same. Money Bag is the copy of Bodak Yellow. OVERESTIMATED.

    While this album exceeded my expectations, that's only saying that it was a 2/10, as opposed to the 0/10 I thought it would be. I really like "Be Careful" and "Thru Your Phone," "Ring" is a decent rack, and I kind of like parts of "Get Up 10" and "Best Life," but other than that, this album is pure garbage. A lot of the lyrics are cringe-worthy, a lot of it is just really boring, and itWhile this album exceeded my expectations, that's only saying that it was a 2/10, as opposed to the 0/10 I thought it would be.

    Well, this Cardi B album comes down to "Bodak Yellow" versions, few save songs like "Ring", "I Do" and "Get Up 10". We hope your next job is better and nothing more.

    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.
  2. 90
    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.
