Lord knows how the hip-hop community loves to compare and I intend on continuing that tradition. Using 5 categories, I will pit these two LPs against each other. If you’re deferring to Tyga and Lil Wayne for dense lyrical content, then you’re probably not a satisfied, self-actualized individual. Their words are light on depth, trite and “ratchet”, but occasionally entertaining. The patented T-Raww clearing of phlegm sounding noise seems to precede some of my favorite Tyga verses on this album (not saying much). It lets the listener know they’re in for an invested, but shallow set of bars. Case in point: 500 Degrees (ironically featuring Lil Wayne). The thing about Lil Wayne is that even with the criticism about his recent lack of potent subject matter, you can’t deny the man has quotable material. Since hearing “Wowzers”, I’ve told at least 3 women that my tongue was an uzi and that my d*ck was an AK. With the exception of maybe 2–3 songs, I can quote bars from all of IANAHB2’s songs. No major commercial rap offering is right without a 2 Chainz feature in 2012/13 (ya done messed up “Good kid, m.A.A.d city”), and these two “lyricists” know that. It is now my responsibility to compare Wayne’s “Days and Days” and “Rich as F*ck” against Tyga’s “Hijack”.
Both featuring the artist formerly known as Tity Boi.įor one, I did not like “Days”. Also, 2 Chainz’ appearance was brief, almost as brief as “R.A.F”, it says a lot about a track when you realize 2 Chainz had more time on A$AP’s “F*ckin Problems.” The beat was somewhat dope, but the album has better cuts. On “Hijack”, we see the 2 Chainz we know and (occasionally) love.
Oh how I adore that “Bay Area Sh*t” (I’ll admit that I enjoyed Problem and IAMSU’s “Million Dollar Afro” way more than I should have). So when he busted out a flow similar to the one of rapper, E-40, I was turnt up. Is that not the point of a Tyga cut? Winner: Tygaįeatures are essential to an album, so it makes sense that we look at these two discs’ features. The majority of IANAHB2’s features were wholly unnecessary. Rapper Boo stole Weezy’s cadence with less success on “Curtains”, while other features, Gudda Gudda, Trina and Nicki Minaj were forgettable. GOOD Music’s Big Sean was hype on “My Homies Still”, but the delay between the song’s release and the album was so long that the effect was lessened. He’s been as hot as fish grease in these streets, but “Trippy” was a wasted name use of the movement from which it derives. Gunplay’s high-energy flow did not go unappreciated.
