    This album could be better, but it's not a bad effort from an artist with much potential. There are definitely many good songs for clubs, and for relaxing. B-

    On the one hand, the album does very little of what Tyga’s best at and even when it does, Hotel California makes the strange move of bowing to Tyga’s biting prowess rather than original, ratchet works. On the other, everything here is done perfectly well and enjoyably; unless you’re focused on Tyga’s bars, taking him purely as a presence on some nice beats is not excruciating.

    Hotel California fails to deliver on any of the hype it had leading up to its release.

    Hotel California is inexcusable. It may be the least creative major-label rap album in recent memory.
