    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.

    One of the greatest rap albums ever. Cardi may not be the best at the genre, but she definitely knows how to step up the game. There are so many things she's experienced with on the album that it will make it a great ride from beginning to end.

    It's undeniable: girl got bars. We've already been expecting that level of confidence and fearlesness, but Invasion of Privacy repurposes Cardi B as a deep, complicated - and sometimes thrilling - human being, exploring herself and her feelings, never getting back to that toxic past, looking foward for what's to come, giving zero **** about anything in the process.

    Iconic, esse álbum é de longe um dos mais revolucionários que mistura a essência do rap em modernidade hip hop com trap, latin e arranjos de pianos renascendo o clássico de volta.

    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.

    One of the best debut albums I’ve heard in a while. No skips, just 13 tracks that show cohesiveness and versatility. Any song on the album can also be a hit, which is amazing to pull off without them not sounding cohesive. Cardi truly proved that she can put together a body of work. This album reflects her story and it was fascinating to look at.

    Cardi has made a super impactful Rap album these past few days. Being the best debut since Lil 'Kim's "Hard Core" and Lauryn's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", Cardi B expressed in its verses a woman totally empowered, self-possessed, sexually liberated, something that lately is not said with as much sincerity as Cardi says. Some tracks are like Rap travel in the 90s, the album coverCardi has made a super impactful Rap album these past few days.

    All this garbzies can't understand what if FEMALE RAP IS because their queen are more pop singer that rap singer. Absolutely qualitative female rap how it must be. Her reading, lyrics and production are very good. Get Up 10 is the one of the strongest rap-female songs I've ever heard. Cardi B does her best at Invasion of Privacy.

    What a debut album. Are there any skips? Cardi can do everything and she is reminding everyone of that. Such a versatile album. Be Careful has me in tears and then other songs make me want to run throuhg a brick wall. Get Up 10 is the most classic New York banger to start an album. Drip, Money Bag, I Like It, Bodak Yellow...i mean essentially the entire album is fire. Cardi is putting onWhat a debut album. Are there any skips?

    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.
