Highlight 36 rumbles the trunk and makes a hook out herb measurements (36, thats how many ounces in a briiiiiiiiiiick) while Where U Been is heartbreak 2 Chainz and Mike Will Made-It style with betrayal lyrics going ghetto (Bought a new crib just to fck you in) over hypnotic, pounding production.Ĭhainz is still a punch-line rapper at heart, but B.O.A.T.S. Thats serious as in significant since the METIME on the cover references to 2 Chainz desire that this album feel like a vacation, and with the greatest hook here being a duet with Fergie that goes Lets make a sex tape and put it on Netflix, the concept of vacation-on-wax (or mp3) is at the very center of the rappers comfort zone.Ģ Chainz Album Full Of SurprisesEven so, the album is full of surprises, starting with Fergies undeniably awesome stoner reference (even the snobbiest weed head should respect You smoke that Bobby Brown, we on that Shabba Ranks), and spanning all the way to the rebirth of rapper Mase, who drops a poignant look back at his troubled career during the somewhat sane stunner Beautiful Pain (Call me a hypocrite, backstabber, you name it I done heard itThe way they speak of me you think Im already murdered).Like Jay-Zs 99 Problems, Feds Watching is a great number inspired by a police traffic stop (I pray to the lord and ask for forgivenessIf he popped my trunk I can get a life sentence) but this time with Pharrell on the funky production and soulful hook, then theres the Mannie Fresh production Black Unicorn, which features grand, elegant strings, and the last thing youd expect on a 2 Chainz album: beat poetry.Still, these ambitious moments are just icing on the cake since the base of the album is the solid, silly, and trend-setting club tracks that fans expect, all of them delivered effortlessly and overflowing with simple street wit.
