    Being known as a feature artist, I really lacked faith in his new album. I was wrong however. The beats were mixed and you could tell he was reaching out to a wide variety of genres. The production for me is not what made me like the album, but it's how 2 Chainz has a flow that makes the beats work for him. That's what made me like this album, his ability to make each song work for him.Being known as a feature artist, I really lacked faith in his new album. I was wrong however.

    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 youSurprisingly good album.

    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.

    First off: all you people who say 2 chainz has terrible lyrics are idiots.
    Also you have to understand 2 chainz makes music people can have fun to. Or just vibe to. If you hold him to a Kendrick Lamar lyricist standard, you are going to despise this album. It is a loud, fun, bass driven album that succeeds at what it tries to be. I enjoyed it. It has funny, simple lyrics and big booming    First off: all you people who say 2 chainz has terrible lyrics are idiots.

    Better than his debut. With this album, 2 Chainz has grown skill as a rapper. 2 Chainz still isn't at his lyrical best, but you can see his lyrical side on some of the songs toward the end of the album. His production has also improved. I think it's a shame this album did poorly commercially, because it's way better in quality than his first album and is more likely to be remembered in theBetter than his debut.

    2 Chainz moves around the sort of eclectic brat selection that Lil Wayne was devouring in the mid-2000s. [Nov 2013, p.66]

    While there might be a few missteps her and there--particularly in the strength of some of the verses--most of the album works really well. [Nov 2013, p.93]

    There is certainly a lot of dumb going on across #METIME‘s hour, but its seamless transition from absurdity to a more pathos-oriented final third creates a dimension that acknowledges 2 Chainz doesn’t have to be a jester to entertain us. He just enjoys the ride.
