    For such a gargantuan album, it’s surprisingly light on its feet, skipping nimbly between musical styles.

    Although the creative achievements aren’t revolutionary, they are thorough and consistent.

    A grand vision is hard to discern, but when it comes to bringing the party, Culture II delivers with a scale and swagger that's hard to resist. [Apr 2018, p.117]

    With Culture II they've given us just enough to keep us on the hook.

    It’s still a joy to hear the Migos rap, which is why it’s especially depressing that Culture II ultimately feels like a drag--a formless grab bag compiled without much care.

    Culture II ultimately feels less like a celebratory howl from the mountaintop than a transitional inventory dump. With its easily-trimmable 24 tracks, Culture II appears to be tailored to finesse chart rules, which count 1,500 individual song streams toward one full album sale.

    Culture II sounds like a satire of every other rap album released by a major label these days, catering to the lowest common denominator of casual music listener. As a business decision, it’s genius; as a piece of music, it’s little more than an elaborate consumer scam.

    Culture 1 was way better. This is just too long and boring. There are some hits, but it isn't enough.

It did not evolve from its predecessor, and the rapping is lackluster, with the flows and rhymes both being basic and lame. Expand
