Yeah, have to revise my position. I gave it a good 2-3 listens while exercising and this shyt is just bland. 2.5/5 max.

What a mess of an album. Chainz is a talented enough rapper but he's not that great of a beat picker. There's definitely some high points. Yuck is solid. Wayne and Chainz both sound inspired and it demonstrates what Chainz does best: just be a funny dude sort of swaggering about on ordinary trap beats. Nothing wrong with that. However the first half of the album comes off as a forced mix of drug songs with some really bad beats and a couple stabs at hits. Luckily around the halfway point the album does get better and saves it from a being a total disaster. The rest of the album can really be broken into three groups. Stop Me Now and Ghetto Dreams are pretty good introspective songs (1) and they have some of the best production on the album.The next group of song are girl/r&b songs (2) like In Town, Countdown and Like Me, something Chainz has never really been known for. It's clearly him not playing to his strengths as an artists, and it's not what people were expecting from him. However these songs in a vacuum aren't bad, they just don't sound good on a 2 Chainz album where expectations are elsewhere. The last group of songs are trap/money songs (3) that fans were hoping for but honestly they feel kind of tired and lost by this point in the album. I Feel Good is a nice surprise at the end though.

Yuck - 4/5
Crack - 2/5
Dope Peddler - 1/5
No Lie - 4/5
Birthday Song - 3/5
I'm Different - 2/5
Extremely Blessed - 2/5
I Luv Dem Strippers - 2/5
Stop Me Now - 4/5
Money Machine - 3/5
In Town - 3/5
Ghetto Dreams - 3/5
Whut We Doin - 3/5
Countdown - 3/5
Like Me - 3/5
I Feel Good - 4/5
Riot - 2/5

Overall 2.5/5

alright i can see lil niglets banging this shyt but if anyone thinks this album is better than Pluto, they should beat themselfs in the dikk with a fukkin louisville slugger bat.
Crinack? :wtf:
all of yuck :wtf:
Dope peddler beat is fukking atrocious, i cant believe i wasted the 5-6 whatever mbs that fukkin track was. that shyt sound like a throwaway from a mixtape.
rt, he might get mad sells off No Lie and that's coming from someone who dont even like drake...
I love dem strippers? fukk YOU nikka!
the other songs dont even deserve mention (exception riot)
scarface needed the money to pay child support.
In town, instant fukking skip wit that nikka breathin all over the shyt. it aint even a good lady track

I'm not a 2 Chainz stan by any means. I didn't even hop on the bandwagon until I heard a lot of yall on SOHH talkin about how dope Trapaveli 2 was. Soon as I heard Trapaveli 2 I was like aight this dudes pretty nice. I fuxed with his Codiene Cowboy mixtape and TruRealigion after that.

The point I'm trying to get at is y'all are giving this album too much hate. I'm only on track 10 but its exactly what I expected. Its not bad by anymeans. It's just plain old 2 Chainz.

How do yall rate an album after listening to it 1 time?

Its not a complex piece of music or finite matematics:russ: Its 2 chainz. OAN how fukking awful is dope peddler? The sample, the piano loop. :why: Probably one of the worst tracks I've heard in a few years from a production standpoint.
