    I can't believe Kanye accepted to be a part of this. Tyga is a lacklustre artist, lacking charisma and relevant content. His flow is always the same, unless he's straight up jacking Drake's 'Started From the Bottom' flow despite claiming to have an issue with Drake. The production is trap influenced with all the high hats and others are very west-coast influenced with heavy bass, but TygaI can't believe Kanye accepted to be a part of this.

The production is trap influenced with all the high hats and others are very west-coast influenced with heavy bass, but Tyga fails to create interesting, well put together song concepts, instead littering great beats with redundant lyrics. Horrible album, very basic, the only good thing about this album is the production but in the end it seems like a great tragedy to have them be completely wasted on Tyga and his basic rhyming ass. The album cover's dope too, that's it. 2/10… Expand

    The worst Tyga studio album so far. I really like "Wait for a Minute", " Hookah" and "40 Milli" but so disappointed that these singles don't drop on the album final cut. "Hollywood N****z" is the only track that I like from the album. Other tracks are just garbage. The production of the album is poor, too. Thought that Kanye West will improve the album but no, he did it very bad in thisThe worst Tyga studio album so far.

Lil Wayne and Boosie Badazz did very well in Free Weezy Album and Touchdown 2 Cause Hell but they're just crappy in this album. Tyga tries to improve his voice but his voice in this album is bad, worse than Fan of a Fan: The Album. His voice is sleepy and creepy. Don't waste your money to this album, you'll need a refund then.… Expand

    2.200 copies in first week? That's the right commercial performance for this album. What can I say about this album is terrible, trash, crappy, sleepy and the worst. This is the worst album of all time, worst hip hop album of all time, worst Tyga album of all time. Tyga just fail to make great album since Hotel California. What is the best song of this album?

    First, when this album release, I have a plan to buy this album. But when I streamed it on Spotify, the tracks make me disappointed and new tracks are awful, crappy, sleepy and just trash. Can't even hear 5 seconds of this album. Tyga make me so disappointed in this album. His voice and guest apperances are terrible, too. I can't find anything nice from this album and still don't know whyFirst, when this album release, I have a plan to buy this album.

    After Careless World, Tyga doesn't make sense. Hotel California, Fan of a Fan and The Gold Album, can't show he is the best club banger. Poor quality of voice, beat and lyrics. Tyga now is just a shadow of Tyga in Careless World.

    Just a garbage. The worst album of 2015. 0/10

    This is the album, not the mixtape so Tyga must did this album better than his mixtapes. Some of his mixtapes like Well Done 3 or 167 is better than this album. This album is just a garbage and the only thing that I like from the album is the artwork so I give it 1/10.

    Tyga has served up a solid effort with The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty, exploring new territory and pushing himself in a different direction than he’d gone during his ratchet past work. It’s just not necessarily a better one.

    The Gold Album is underscored by its poor creative choices.

    We have 12 microwave-nuked approximations of Drake songs circa 2013 and Kanye songs spanning from The College Dropout to Yeezus, with none of the wit, soul, or edge.
