    2 Chainz forges deeper emotional connections, but that surface is as entrancing as ever. B.O.A.T.S II ups the production values like a true sequel should.

    2 Chainz is still a punch-line rapper at heart, but B.O.A.T.S. II adds some Bootsy Collins charisma and ambitious ringleader style to his discography. Pick the sequel over the original and get ready for some stinky, dank, and fun me time.

    He has done his best to deliver the kind of care-free, gaudy rap album that will be blaring from the speakers of house parties everywhere for months to come, and B.O.A.T.S. II #METIME readily delivers on that promise.

    B.O.A.T.S. II is an album that feels happy just to exist, a rejection of the modern idea that album releases are serious events and all the tracks that sound like they were fun to make get relegated to bonus cuts or mixtapes.

    BOATS II is your standard 2013 Southern hip-hop record, complete with ticking beats (‘Extra’), Auto-Tune (‘So We Can Live’) and eye-rollingly explicit lyrics (‘Where U Been?’).

    2 Chainz likes to offset the raunchy with the heartfelt, but when the tone shifts to earnestly autobiographical, he sounds derivative.

    By the end of Me Time, the down-to-Earth, around-the-block-and-back 2 Chainz bores.

    With rich and interesting production the whole album, 2 chainz comes off as actually caring about his work and his ideas behind his songs. With all of the hype leftover from his first B.O.A.T.S. installment, he doesn't disappoint.… Expand

    Surprisingly good album. Don't see why there's so much hate. Lyrically he's hilarious and the beats are out of this world! People are just hating because it's 2 Chainz. I only wasn't hot on one track and that was T Pain's fault. In conclusion, it's 2 Chainz so don't expect any rapping from the heart and great meaningful lyrics but if you want some fantastic beats and good laughs then you should pick this up. Better than

    2 chains needs to stick to guest appearances on other MC's tracks cause he can't hold a track by himself-much less and album. After about three tracks his voice is irratating and you can easily discover his lyrics ain't about sh*t. Thankfully didn't buy this album and wouldn't.… Expand

    How this is getting good reviews from critics is really just a puzzle to me. I have no idea how 2 Chainz is actually a popular artist, his voice and flow are utter sh*t! What kind of moron would ever listen to something like this over all the other quality albums that have come out over the past two weeks? Jesus Christ.… Expand

    First off, major improvement over his debut. Instead of each track sucking, there are some redeemable tracks here that are pretty solid bangers. However, too many of these tracks are classic 2 Chainz with dumb punchlines that aren't funny and horrible rapping skills.… Expand

    This album is pure garbage please do not waste your money on it you will be disappointed this artist should be embarrassed for putting this crap out and letting down his fans honestly one of the worst rappers out there and this album proves it if you listen to lyrics like me you will hear his lyrics make no sense if they even rhyme which is rare on most of the tracks you will feel like you lost IQ points after trying to make sense of his nonsense so do yourself a favor and skip over this one… Expand
