After A Bumpy Start, Nicki Minaj's 'Queen' Has Landed
After A Bumpy Start, Nicki Minaj's 'Queen' Has Landed Enlarge this image toggle caption Leon Bennett/Getty Images Leon Bennett/Getty Images Updated, 1:58 p.m., Aug. 10. Fraught with teetering shade, Internet trolling, a flip-flopping release date and awkwardly timed collaborations, the lead-up to this album has been, let's be honest, a shambles — and has subsequently genuinely baffled rap fans. on "Barbie Dreams," Minaj takes aim at plenty of her hip-hop cohorts, clowning everyone from Drake, DJ Khaled and Young Thug to Minaj's ex-boyfriend, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill. Minaj's operatic, percussive-aided performance on "Majesty" featuring Eminem and Labrinth sounds inspired by Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and her delivery on the track proves, as it did with 2010's "Roman's Revenge," that she can definitely out-entertain the motor-mouthed Slim Shady.
