    Lacks lyrical diversity and depth; Nevertheless, it is an entertaining narrative. After the album is done, one is left wondering, what did I learn that I did not already know? What did I relearned? The answer to both questions is nothing. 64/100

    Don't get it twisted, this album is not a ten. Tens are life changing albums, innovative albums, powerful albums, simply enjoyable and awesome albums. This album is not any one of those. And yes, I understand it tells a story, wow that's great. But that only works if the songs are good. But Dj Mustards production is so slammin, poppin, banging, etc.,ect.

This album is not any one of those. And yes, I understand it tells a story, wow that's great. But that only works if the songs are good. But Dj Mustards production is so slammin, poppin, banging, etc.,ect. But after a while, it is repetitive and to samey samey to provide any lasting impressions. At its best, this album is the good riding music, you're not really paying attention, but the beats knock if you don't listen attentively to them. The rapping, was lackluster. YG didn't grab my attention, over these kind've beats, you need to sound good. If you don't have the lyrical ability to keep me interested at least make it enjoyable to listen to. I understand that this is made for the streets, and in that case, it succeeds because it has lots of bass, and raps that talk about real, honest street stuff, real gangsta **** But overall, it was just hard for me to get through. I didn't really love any of the songs, none that I wanted to return to. And this is coming from a person who listens to a loooot of music, including all of the gangsta rap classics that this album is inspired by. This album just isn't as amazing as everyone says it is. Dat Jay Rock verse was dope though, now that's a gangsta album we need.… 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 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 BackThis one is ultimately an album of highs and lows.

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

    For such an expansive, detailed album, it can be hard to forget this is just his debut record.
