pros- thru the album's weak presentation the pros are few and far between. the pros are the first single's ("i got cha") infectious beat, though that can't be said for the song or the lyrics. thru the many problems of this album, the light at the end of the tunnel can't even be reached by the amazing aray of guest artists (cam'ron, amil, dj clue- which is suprising) and their appearance on this record is career damaging.

cons- now she comes off dissing foxy brown & lil kim for saying they are to sexual and unclassy women, but then manages to say "the dope styles ya'll kicked was mine". hmmmm ok whatever. she has wack tracks "...ain't for free", "baby daddy", "warn u", "for you", "its true", "cold cold world" and practically every other track on the album. their are 3 pointless skits on the album and 13 pointless tracks. the girl ... str8 up.

i don't even think that queen pen should have came back. it was so pointless. shes a mother now so she should focus on keeping her child from growing up and spitting wacker rhymes then she did if thats even possible. i think that queen should step away from the music industry and leave it up to the truly skilled pros, because she is WACK. ery body knows that outside foxy brown, lil kim, amil, angie martinez & rah digga that NO other female rapper can spit and thats y they are the best. all the others are a waste of industry space and money.

This album is mainly held together by okay tracks. There aren't really any highlights, just different shades of lowlights. The problem is some of the ryhmes don't make sense, such as claiming that rappers that came out well before her stole her style, she spends way to much time trying to attack other female rappers that are out of her league (Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim), and brags about having a life style, and reputation that she hasn't built. Her flow is tight at times, but her ryhmes never seem to hit there marks. There are a couple tracks that may get your attention, but none that hold it.

She can rap, but the songs are boring. Maybe it is because I do not like her. She tried to diss my girl Foxy Brown on this album subliminally. I mean if she is so hardcore why diss someone subliminally. Queen Pen is very fake. She could rap. Instead of dissing Foxy and Kim, she need to be more concerned about her and her career because her album sales are low.

I wonder how self-realized Queen Pen was when she titled her second album "Conversation With Queen?" Once this disc hits your CD Player you'll know that no one's listen to this album for the beats. In fact, I'm more than positive the average hip-hip fan has heard hotter beats coming from their old plumbing. What salvages this album from being an shoddy coaster is her above average flow and the "conversations."

You may remember Queen Pen from her 16-bar guest spot on BlackStreets "No Diggity." Pen writes all her own material and you can tell because her rhymes are shallow and totally droning but admittedly better than most of today's Femcee's material. Unfortunately, Pen stretches her material so tight if you bent this disc over the seam would bust. By the end of the disc if you haven't figured out that Pen thinks she the realist female MC, been knocked up a couple time, is broke but somehow rich and thinks thugs want her like she has hundreds stuffed up in her pants, then you're deaf or not too swift. Pen's debut album "My Melody" proved that she can write a hot rhyme when she wants to but the only tracks that really work on "Conversations" are the dis joints. The first (and only) single "I Got Cha" is the least amateurish track as far as production is concerned. It's a blazingly confident - but kinda wack - dis track aimed directly at B.K.'s illest femcee's Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim. "Don't bring them around me/It's my time to shine/That style, y'all kicked, was mine/Take away your writers, and try to spit a rhyme." "QP Walks" had the potential of being a great track but the beats sound like someone hitting a vacuum up against a wall. Guest spots by Amil (whose flow is so off you won't even know it's her), Cam'ron and Miss Jones are totally wasted. Jones' hook on "Ghetto Divorce" is embarrassingly bad.

I can't recommend "Conversations" because of the poor production. No matter how hot your system may be, these beats sound bad no matter where and what you rock them on.
