I'm really into this album, 100% check it out. I've never really considered myself a 2 Chainz fan. I assumed he was a basic trapper that would show up as a feature on a couple of radio "Hip Hop" songs. But I was curious about this album and decided to give it a listen. I had head "It's a Vibe" before the release of the entire album and I wasn't mad at it. The subtle creativity behind the instrumentals is what got me interested the first listen through. But the outstanding balance between funny and clever lyrics, serious and conscious lyrics, and hard hitting flex lyrics is what really sucked me in on the second and third listen through. Although, yes, this is quiet a long record sitting at just over an hour long, 2 Chainz still delivers very entertaining performances on every song. And I can't believe I'm saying this but Nicki Minaj has a very tasteful and strapping feature on the song "Realize" (I'm not a big fan of Nicki but I really enjoyed her verse). This album is also packed with some other great features like Drake, Migos, Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz, Travis Scott, Gucci Mane, Pharrel, and more. Very surprised, very pleased.
