2 Chainz & Lil Wayne - Welcome 2 Collegrove Album Review

Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz have been making hits like “Crown Snatcher” for years.

“Crown Snatcher” is one of those tracks that are literally unhatable (Honestly, not enough rappers make unhatable tracks nowadays). It features an incredibly catchy hook, a booming beat that will get you hyped the f**k up, and a good mix of competitive and violent lyrics. You also get very consistent cadences and flows from 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne (I love it when Chainz and Wayne beat over the head with the same cadences and flows). 

I hoped for this when I clicked on a 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne album: Songs with unadulterated bars and a beat so cold that you have to have a sweater on while you listen to it.

Here’s a secret that everyone should know: Every song named after Oprah is f**king flames. S**t, “Oprah’s Bank Account” might be Lil Yachty’s best track to date. That said, “Oprah & Gayle” is flames. In the song, we get 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s meanest deliveries, hungriest lyrics, and sturdiest flows. Wayne, in particular, easily drops his best verse on the album here. Just when you think you’re properly fed, Benny The Butcher slides in with a reflective verse that has him speaking on his miraculous come-up, down chick, and hustling mentality. All in all, this track is excellent.

This is simply an all-around good track.

As much as I f**k with songs that have killer punchlines, crazy flows, and wild lyrics about vajayjays, in my opinion, nothing beats a song with a great structure, good vibes, and a powerful hook. What’s wild is that “Moonlight” has everything I mentioned. 

Marsha and the beat are the best things about this song. However, I think Wayne drops a sneaky-good verse, too. It has excellent wordplay and anti-nonsense lyrics (We get nonsense lyrics from Wayne 99 percent of the time, so it’s refreshing hearing him do something different).
