Editorial Review:
Latifah was the first major woman rapper to build a career on positivity, and this debut is proud, funny, and self-assured. Latifah knows she's the best so she doesn't have to tear down anyone else to prove it. Neatly produced (with simple, dance-friendly beats, mostly by loop-master DJ Mark the 45 King) and stylistically varied (including a couple of expert forays into dancehall reggae), it collects her early singles along with a bunch of convincing pronouncements of her royalty. Where she shines most, though, is on a couple of duets: "Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children," with De La Soul clowning around under her tutelage, and "Ladies First," with Monie Love deftly trading verses with her. --Douglas Wolk
1989 debut album from the hip hop/film star features guest appearances from De La Soul & Monie Love. 15 tracks. Tommy Boy.

Rating:  - Pre-Grammy Greatness From The Queen of Royal Badness
In a masculine dominated genre, not many ladies of hip hop were representing especially back in 1988-1989. Salt-N-Peppa, Sweet Tee, MC Lyte, and Roxanne Shante were a few very successful female artists. When Queen Latifah came onto the scene, she was unlike anything coming out at the time. Her mix of dancehall reggae, R and B, Jazz, House, and rappin' ability became unwordly to 1988 ears. Male or female, she may be the most versatile emcee to do it. "All Hail The Queen" is her shining moment ... Read More
Rating:  - 4.5 STARS............THE KID KNOWS NOT OF WHAT HE SPEAKS!!!!
this album is not the best i have ever heard, but it does bump. i love THE PROS with daddy-o. i love the rawness of it. i also dig WRATH OF MY MADNESS the other raw, aggressive joints on here. that kid who dissed latifah needs to listen to his 50 cent and just forget about this because this is HIP HOP!!!! kid, this is not for you. this is for true HIP HOP HEADZ and those younguns with open minds. if this applies to you, then you will really dig this as i do........perhaps more.
Rating: - The Queen Has Spoken!!!!
I totally agree, this album is off the chain. Ja Rule and 50 cent wish they could be in a class of their own like the Queen...she totally rocks and while these other want-a-be and wish-they-could-be rappers will come and go...the Queen will live on forever because she has multiple talents and is the real deal. Most rappers today don't know what real music and lyrics are...if they did they wouldn't disrespect women, society and life in general but would bring positive messages to their raps like the ...

Rating: - All Hail
Queen Latifah Knows...this album was spectacular...it is uplifting and has good beats and anybody who has the nerve to even say a fool like 50 cent or a no talent joke like ja rule is anything better than her has nerve because she is history..she is what 50 and Ja bite off of...she is what they can't live up to...so know your history before you praise the present...but queen, you gotta represent!!
