    Straight up a let down. Three tracks play the same recycled up-beat "gangsta" tune over which he raps about how hardocore he is. I ain't even a hater. I like Gunplay, but I can also be objective in my judgement. The lyrics are most disappointing cliched trash.

    The only real problem with Living Legend is that he's clearly holding back some of his formidable lyrical skills to be competition for the Fetty Waps, Chief Keefs and Vine-traded hook-rappers of the world.... But when he lets his hard-rocking rhymes run amok, Gunplay is a breath of fresh Swisher smoke and spittle-flecked air.

    While his long journey has finally paid off, Living Legend lacks it factor to have listeners clamoring for a follow-up anytime soon.

    The album doesn’t come without its criticisms, though. “Only 1,” with its elementary hook and flimsy delivery, seems tired and immature. And “Chain Smoking” with Curren$y and labelmate Stalley disrupts the cinematic flow of the album. However, Gunplay delivers on the overall theme of showing what made him a living legend.
