   This album was my introduction to YG and his music, the production is reminiscent to old school West Coast albums like Snoop's 'Doggystyle'This album was my introduction to YG and his music, the production is reminiscent to old school West Coast albums like Snoop's 'Doggystyle' and Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic 2001'. YG isn't the greatest lyricist in the game but it doesn't matter because he flows smoothly through DJ Mustard's production, songs are well written especially 'Sorry Momma'. The hooks are catchy, 'My Krazy Life' also has strong narrative it's YG's story and we are taken through the situations he went through, it's his equivalent to K-Dot's 'GKMC', we're provided context lyrically and through skits. 'My Krazy Life' has great features from TDE's 'Black Hippy' crew (except Ab-Soul), Drake and Ty Dolla $ign. The standout tracks for me are 'BPT', 'I Just Wanna Party', 'Meet the Flockers', 'Really be (Smokin N Drinkin)’, 'Sorry Momma' and 'Bompton'. The album is enjoyable and the beats are stellar it has a lot of replay value and I'm interested to see what direction YG takes for future projects.… Expand

   One helluva cohesive and solid debut from YG!

   It took me a week after it's release for me to play it all through cause of the fact over just how much I disliked his singles that followed up to this. More then expected, people and critics where giving this a lot of shine and praise, so I decided to check it out, once for all, seeing if it included any goods.
   
   A week from now (and two weeks after the release) I sat with the computer and plugged in the headphones. "My Krazy Life" started to play.
   The kick, the track "BPT" hit me with, I knew by then, my opinion of YG where going to be changed.
   
   ".. ni**a I'm from B-P-T".. my head was knoding, and from there and on, my whole through this I appreciated YG's work, even the singles, especially "Left, Right".
   
   YG might not be the most lyrical, that I've noticed.
   It's the perfect choice of beats he chooses to ride over with his smooth, bumpy flow and a on-point storytelling of a day in-life of YG in the neighbourhoods of Compton.
   YG knows what he is, he knows what he does best. And with the help of Mustard & co. YG released one fun, young, gangsta- west coast tape to be added on to the major releases of the west coast affiliated buddies Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q.
   
   YG turned a non-believer to a, sort of a believer. "My Krazy Life" is one fun listen with a classic feel of a "Doggystyle" and with a harsh pound of a "Straight Outta Compton". If not one top release, this might most definitely be the most entertaining we are going to come across an album in hip hop this year.… Expand

   I have to admit, I was highly skeptical YG was capable of putting together a cohesive album based on the singles for My Krazy Life. But wow..I have to admit, I was highly skeptical YG was capable of putting together a cohesive album based on the singles for My Krazy Life. But wow.. this is one of the best gangsta rap/west coast hip hop records in recent memory. The first few tracks were so good the first time I heard it I thought I was listening to the newest 2001. The middle of the album was pretty average though, and it was clear DJ Mustard's production helped a lot throughout. It's messy, rough, intense, and real. ~ 8.3/10
   
   Best track: "Really Be (Smokin N Drinkin) [feat. Kendrick Lamar]": An underrated song. This is the only introspective song on the album that YG seemed honest and vulnerable. Also, Kendrick contributes an incredible intense, whispered verse.
   
   Other notable tracks: "BPT", "I Just Wanna Party", "Left, Right", "Bicken Back Being Bool", "Who Do You Love?" & "1 AM"… Expand

   This one is ultimately an album of highs and lows. Far too often, YG deviates from what really works for him and that is banging beats from DJThis one is ultimately an album of highs and lows. Far too often, YG deviates from what really works for him and that is banging beats from DJ Mustard. The tracks without DJ Mustard are the very noticeable lows, while tracks like “I Just Wanna Party”, “My **** and “Who Do You Love?” are undoubtedly the highs of this work. While not all of the DJ Mustard produced tracks work (“Bicken Back Being Bool” and “Do It To Ya” are definite lows), they are at least somewhat enjoyable at times, while the bad non-Mustard produced tracks are just entirely bad. YG is a gangsta rapper and, really, he left that corner far too often. He needed more gangsta rap and less lovey dovey tracks aimed at the ladies. It is amazing that YG has managed to craft 12 track album that has filler, but he has done it. I enjoy YG and while my rating is low for this album, I am content with getting a few tracks from this album to add to my YG collection on iTunes. It is really all you can hope for when a guy who is really hit-or-miss drops an album.… Expand
