Anthony, did you really have to call 2 Chainz the n word 95 times in this review? Unbelievable.

[@615ccchc]

Smh. This meme is so outdated. He only called him the N-word 94 times.

If melon is gonna call 2 chainz "n-word" 50 times he might as well say the actual word.

I was very surprised by how much I liked this album. Came in with very low expectations after never actually listening to 2 Chainz, and its really quite good. Some bits are still weaker, feel the need to skip Girl's best friend and High Top Versace, but it's a pretty solid album.

[@imboutamakeafoolofmyself]

The last thing I’d associate 2 Chainz with is conscious hip hop but he does it pretty well somehow

[@kings9724]

not really but ok

[@egoleo6693]

sam is the perfect example of why he can’t do it

[@tonydub98]

2 Chainz has improved tremendously in the last 6 years. I wish more people noticed

[@readylikebettyspaghetti]

lyrics/topics are solid, 2 chainz is just stylistically varied and people like melon want just an album of conscious bars

[@alprazolam1446]

Betty Spaghetti that’s not true, the fact that he gave die lit a 7 disproves everything you just said about melon

[@naught_.]

This video reminds me of TheNeedleDrop.

[@Bilnation]

It’s super early but I feel like 2Chainz Rap or Go to the League may be his best album. The production, the lyricism, the cohesiveness and even the features are all on point.

[@hugovega6438]

Couldn’t take his team to the playoffs but got a MBDTF/10

[@ilovecody7514]

It was a pretty great trap album imo. It shows 2 chainz has a lot of layers, he's grown a lot. And that song with Kendrick is amazing.

[@JorgeHernandez-ot8yi]

Should be a 6. Could be a 7 if it was trimmed down.

@@michaelpopchuk7432 I'm more sort of saying that a Drake feature used to be cooler than it is now, I'd say Travis Scott is the cooler feature to have than drake

[@jrgenbraastad5827]

I totally agree with Melon on the Travis wave

[@TheBlackShinigami]

I liked the album. Being of black youth I can connect with some of the songs and I actually liked SAM. I understand the perspective and j i do agree, but the fact that he DID say that means he is currently, evolving, listening to the world and the culture his children have to embrace and face. Not all the tracks were just great, but the production quality is there and it's a good project overall

[@ethanravestein2057]

Michael Cheslav it’s nice to see Kendrick trying slower flows.

[@regirayquaza]

I was hyped to see 2 Chainz and Kendrick on a Pharrell beat. I was expecting this chilled out, fun beat with both spitting the hottest verses ever. Instead, I got Momma I Hit a Lick.

[@robertgaskill5340]

I feel like you have to be a rap fan to fully appreciate these albums cause rap or go to the league was not a 6/10. He has valid points and Im not saying he cant listen or reveiw it, but I just feel like it reaches its full potential with people who trully are fans of the genre

[@DeezyDru]

Probably would've gotten it to at least a light 7 but to each their own. I'm glad someone liked the Kendrick verse. It's different & the flow reminds me of someone doing a 21 Savage impression but Kendrick's still dropping gems & it sounds sonically pleasing to me so I'm not losing any sleep. I vibed with it. Also, anyone else get reminded of "Grindin' when MIHAL came on?

I'm a big 2 Chainz fan. This whole album disappointed me. It felt like an early Kanye rip off. It may be his most personal album but it's also his absolute worst. No energy on the album at all. No fun tracks or dumb humor. Based On A Tru Story and BOATS II were full of memorable tracks. Pretty Girls Like Trap Music was he nearly perfected the trap sound and actually progressed lyrically. Even the songwriting on this album feels tired and cliched. 4/10 for me.
