    This is an amazing album. I really wasn't a YG fan before, I thought his first record, "My Krazy Life", was alright but it didn't stand out. This album is my favorite of the year so far, YG comes through with incredibly good raps, and the G-Funk beats are legendary. The album also has some great features, from YG's homies to Drake they all give great performances. YG is unapologetic in theThis is an amazing album.

    It may not be one of the most memorable rap albums of all time, but it probably will be the most memorable of the year. From beginning to end, nonstop, this entire project just pumps. I was never into YG's music, but after listening to this, I have mad respect for the guy. This album is a must-listen.

    Like many California albums that were released prior to this album, this project is completely enjoyable and unique. YG came through on the production, lyrics, and song structure on this album, and I believe it is a big step up from his debut effort. What I absolutely fell in love with was the G-Funk sound that is continually played throughout the project.

YG came through on the production, lyrics, and song structure on this album, and I believe it is a big step up from his debut effort. What I absolutely fell in love with was the G-Funk sound that is continually played throughout the project. It reminds me of the good times and the prime of the G-Funk era that was perfected by greats like Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg. I think it was it a perfect move to go with a G-Funk album for YG, and I believe many people will appreciate it. I believe he progressed on his flow and his lyrics from the last project, and I can see the improvement and the craft being perfected by YG on this whole album. Like “My Krazy Life”, YG pulls through with the features on this album, and it’s nice to hear another solid Weezy guest verse. Personally I wasn’t a big fan of the really brief interludes and skits, and I think it would’ve been better if he just attatched the skits to the beginning or end of the respected songs to cut a little bit of the fat off of the track listing. Some of the storytelling is very enjoyable especially when he is talking about the events of his getting shot. There are memeroable lines on the album, and I’m really glad YG is progressing when it comes to his lyricism. I believe that listeners that respect the golden era of G-Funk will treat this album as a little bit of nostalgia. If you’re looking for pure bars and lyricism, then this isn’t exactly the album for you, but I really intrigue you to give this project a shot. “Still Brazy” continues the trend of fantastic westcoat albums, and I can’t wait to see if YG progresses more down the road.… Expand

    The rapping is dope, the beats are dope, and I have respect for YG. He can tell a story, he can write a hook, he can make a song. "I Got A Question" is probably my favorite track, but the entire album is solid from top to bottom.

    Another great album by YG who proves he is definitely not a 1 hit wonder and can keep up the quality of his music and even surpass himself. This LP is A+ from production to lyrics and in my opinion is better than My krazy life.

    YG is really keeping it gangsta, and simply still brazy. For sure on my top 10 list for this year. Nothing much to say about the album, I was expecting a blassic album and he proved he's one of the best on the west coast.

    This album has no right to be this damn good. This album continues the astute story telling and pacing featured in YG's previous record 'My Krazy Life' only this time YG seems to a lot more to say. This is the most in your face, unapologetic and raw album in years. The production is distinctly west coast, a fresh blend of Death Row era G-Funk and the contemporary west coast sound.

This is the most in your face, unapologetic and raw album in years. The production is distinctly west coast, a fresh blend of Death Row era G-Funk and the contemporary west coast sound. YG's flow is slick and melodic, and his song writing seems to have improved as well as the cohesive story telling featured in nearly every track. YG's ability to write highly catchy hooks and ear for beats in incredible. YG is taking a political approach this time around, voicing a lot of sentiments felt in America in contemporary times, touching on police brutality, exploitation and oppression of ethnic minority communities as well as conveying where he is at in his life. YG once again exceeds expectations by coming through with a layered, cohesive and sonically lush album proving that My Krazy Life was no accident. Couldn't recommend this one enough, **** brazy.… Expand

    Even without DJ Mustard, YG is still dope. This album is a blassic album, no doubt! Especially he's not familiar with other trash rappers like Future, Desiigner or Kent Jones. My Krazy Life and Still Brazy are 2 blassics!

    YG is back with the perfect sophomore album which chronicles his life since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album "My Krazy Life". A major improvement both lyrically and musically that captures the West coast sound to perfection...The topics covered in this album are timely and well done. By far one of the best albums of the year for sure.

    great album yet again from YG, i like the flows and west coast vibes throughout this entire project. If you liked My Krazy Life then you're gonna enjoy this.

    Never was a YG fan prior to this record, however he truly produces a brilliant piece of G-Funk fuelled hip-hop on this record. Production wise, the beats excel and YG's delivery and flow compliment them very well. Lil Wayne's feature was a particular highlight and Drake also performs very well.

    Here, the percussive sounds imply power and control in response to oppression. I will not be quiet. I will not be scared. I will let you know I am here, they say. But the melodic sounds are unstable, colored by fear and uncertainty.

    No one out there is crafting visceral street tales like he is, and if he could just trim his track lists a bit, he has the talent to make a gangster rap classic in the future.

    While most of the album is concerned with asserting that YG is still a G despite his fame, it closes with a trio of protest songs.
