Tyga is a 29 year old rapper, singer/songwriter, actor & television personality from Compton, California who dropped 4 mixtapes & a full-length debut prior to Young Money Entertainment alongside Cash Money Records & Republic Records signing him. He would go on top drop 11 more tapes & couple LPs through the major labels except Careless World: Rise of the Last King was the only one of the bunch that stood out. The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty through his own imprint Last Kings Records quickly became the worst thing he’s ever made & his 5th album was promising to be as bad.
The opener “Temperature” sings presumably about his ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner when she was underage at the time over a tropical beat & the auto-tune on Tyga’s voice makes it even worse. The next song “Leather in the Rain” with Kyndall is a shitty sex duet with a generic club beat & the track “Come & Ball Wit Me” is basically Tyga whining about Kylie over a spacey trap beat. The song “Boss Up” sings about how he loves that his current chick is calling the shots over a moody beat & the track “U Cry” is another Kylie breakup pity party over a somber beat.
“King of the Jungle” sees T-Raw admitting that he was unfaithful to Kylie over an atmospheric instrumental while “Hard2Look” is an honest to God diss track towards her new boyfriend Travis Scott that comes off REALLY corny. The song “I Need a Girl 3” produced by CashMoneyAP is an unnecessary follow-up to the 2 Puff Daddy songs that came out in 2002 while the track “Train 4 This” has some corny references to WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson over a trap beat with a decent “Dilemma” sample buried in the mix.
The song “Hot Soup” sings about how his chick will make him feel better over a bland beat while the track “Sip a Lil” featuring Gucci Mane is of course about drinking & rambling about missing Kylie over a mediocre trap beat. “Faithful” featuring Tory Lanez sees the 2 telling their ladies to have faith in them over another tropical beat & the penultimate track “Ja Rule & Ashanti” is filled with corny references to both artists over a nondescript beat. The torture finally ends with “Holdin’ On’”, where he gets sexual with his current woman over a decent Hitmaka instrumental.
Now I know a lot of people including myself went at the artwork when Tyga originally posted it on Instagram last month but musically, this is truly the worst thing he’s ever done. I can commended him for trying to step out of his comfort zone, but there is not a single song worth sitting through from beginning to end. His singing is absolutely God awful, the auto-tune he throws on top of it doesn’t mask it either, the lyrics are trite & the contemporary/alternative R&B production containing lesser influences of trap & pop n is dime a dozen.
Score: 0/5
