    There is enough modern romance and melodic sense (and quirkiness, such as the mumbled hook of Time) to make a decent album-within-an-album, and to mark Fetty Wap as a winning new talent in hip-hop.

    As a whole, Fetty Wap adopts the same self-assured stance: Fetty's formula definitely ain't broke, and he doesn't seem in a hurry to fix it.

    "Trap Queen," "My Way," "Again," and "679" are all great songs: impassioned, radically romantic, and congenial sans the PG-13 restraint of, say, Jidenna's "Classic Man.".... The present ubiquity of Fetty's singles renders Fetty's album largely redundant.

    [A] rare, pleasingly unfiltered debut that captures an exciting upcoming artist with little refinement.

    He shows the consistency to scatter those songs throughout Fetty Wap’s 17 tracks and to mostly stick to the limited formula that made them hit as hard as they did on the rest of the record.

    It’s been a fascinating journey for both him and his audience, especially when taken in moderation.

    The whole of the self-titled Fetty Wap album is remarkably inoffensive and uninspired.

    Fetty’s attempt at putting together a full, formal project takes away from the overall prestige of his hits that have been so cherished over the past 12 months. This isn’t to say that the next album will won’t be able to more effectively balance hits and album cuts. But this one feels like the first attempt that it is.

    With a set list running up to 20 songs, it borders on Fetty overkill, but there are plenty of fine moments you haven't heard yet.

    For the year's most contagious artist, Fetty Wap's debut formula reads as follows: 20 songs x 4 billboard singles - 90% filler ÷ 1 melody = 1738. And somehow, that doesn't add up.

    The problem is that the album is creatively too safe even when taking on large gambles.

It is straight out of the vein of the terrible 2015 trap trend and it hurts my ears that this is what "music" is turning into. The album drags on with 20 songs and even more so since all of the songs sound the same, and have the same lyrics. Don't waste the time or the money.… Full Review »
