Obviously, if you listened to the album this is a very different 2 Chainz project. Typically what we get are hard-hitting raps over dope instrumentation. But, this time he had something to prove. By enlisting Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James as A&amp;R for this project only makes sense right considering LeBron is more than an athlete. Some songs on the project such as \u201cNCAA\u201d where he\u2019s giving the young guys game about how to survive and maneuver while making no money on their talents. On the opening track \u201cForgiven\u201d featuring Marsha Ambrosius you\u2019ll find 2 Chainz in rare form getting deep speaking on his personal wins and losses even touching on his friend Lil Fate losing his son to gun violence. His 9th wonder produced track \u201cThreat 2 Society\u201d is definitely one of the standout records on the album. Honorable mentions on this album include \u201cRule The World\u201d featuring Ariana Grande, \u201c2 Dollar Bill\u201d featuring Lil Wayne &amp; E-40, and \u201cHigh Top Versace\u201d featuring Young Thug. To be all the way honest the most disappointing track on here had probably one of the most popular artists in the rap game which is Kendrick Lamar. The pair clicked up on \u201cMomma I Hit A Lick\u201d this song was very lukewarm and highly underwhelming. I felt like Kendrick attempted to try something new and used 2 Chainz song as an example that just didn\u2019t work. If any song on the project I could do without I\u2019d definitely have to say this one. Overall, this project shows me that 2 Chainz wants to be respected as elite amongst his peers and he\u2019s truly making a case. Only thing we\u2019re missing is a Jay-Z feature which hopefully comes soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve listened to the album over the weekend what did you take away from it and is this his best work in your eyes?<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Now that it\u2019s been a few days since 2 Chainz has dropped his long awaited fifth album \u2018Rap Or Go To The League\u2019 lets go ahead and discuss where 2 Chainz ranks amongst his peers <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/onewestmagazine.com\/magazine\/2-chainz-unleashes-his-5th-studio-album\/\" title=\"2 Chainz Unleashes His 5th Studio Album\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":8936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 -
