    Ohh boy, Another 2 Chainz album. Believe it or not, This is actually WORSE then Based On A T.R.U Story. First of all, His verses are trash. But at least it's not all about "Thick **** like the last album. This time, it's all about his cash (More Annoying.) Now, a rapper like 2 Chainz is mostly dependent of his beats. Which, on this album SUCK (Most of them,) The majority are just TrapOhh boy, Another 2 Chainz album. Believe it or not, This is actually WORSE then Based On A T.R.U Story.

Which, on this album SUCK (Most of them,) The majority are just Trap Beats that have some sort of exotic flavor to them, Which do not sound good. So overall, This album is trash.… Expand

    Many people really are too hard on 2 Chainz. It's not artistic, socially conscious, or meaningful but it's not meant to be. The production is often upper-tier, and Chainz can spit it better than most, if not all, trap rappers. That being said, it's not artistic, socially conscious, or meaningful… there's very little here lyrically.

That being said, it's not artistic, socially conscious, or meaningful… there's very little here lyrically. There's a little bit of social commentary with "Mainstream Ratchet" and *gasp* some genuine emotion on "Beautiful Pain" and "U Da Realest." Also, 2 Chainz doesn't depend nearly as much on features as he has on previous work. Overall though, it's still all about the production, the money, and the trap life. ~ 5.8/10

    Best track: "Feds Watching": Pharrell's production on this song is elite.. and for this album that's enough to make it the best track.

    Other notable tracks: "Mainstream Ratchet", "I Do It" & "Black Unicorn"    … Expand

    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.
