Snippet here: http://www.diversehiphop.com/blog/2012/02/tyga-careless-world-rise-of-the-last-king-album-preview/
sounds like underwhelming project
This kid project is weird.
I meant that, the west doesn't have much going to this level currently. Should be a good look for the west, yet this is a bad look for the west cause this dude is trash and just doesn't fit the west. whatever.
2nd, he is going to mark the sign of Young Money dwindling down cause his project will not be that successful.

Funny how y'all listen to washed up west coast rappers but not give Tyga a chance because he came out on Young Money. He isn't any worse at rapping than Snoop and if we're honest, probably has a better album.

Doesn't make a difference what label he's on. Dude is bland and generic. He's the real-life version of the "create a player" function for any sports video game.

Bland and generic describes most of the rappers people talk about on here. If you're checking the next daz album, you shouldn't have anything against this. You'll go on about bringing the west coast back but refuse to even listen to any music from the one dude making any progress.

Difference between Daz and Tyga:
Daz is played out; there's only so much gangsta shit you can talk before it gets boring. Tyga is flat out boring; nothing about the guy sets him apart from any other rapper out there. He has some solid production, but even that can't save his generic-ness.

Sorry, but being generic and fresh don't go hand in hand. Not hating, just speaking the truth. Dude is bland, generic, and boring. Birdman would have been better off spending his album budget making it rain in a strip club somewhere in Atlanta.

There a reason you keep bringing up Daz in a thread about Tyga?

Obviously, since he's relevant to my first post about generic washed up rappers. If this were a forum where charismatic, intellectual rappers were being discussed I would understand snubbing him. But its far from it. Why don't you just admit you aren't giving him a chance because he's getting cosigned by Young Money instead of a former Death Row artist?

1) This thread isn't about Daz Dillinger. Even if it was, I've already said I've lost interest in his music.
2) I like good music, doesn't matter what label the person's from. Tyga is generic, bland, boring and lacks charisma. That wouldn't all of a sudden change if he was on MMG, Doggystyle Records, Bad Boy, etc.

After giving this a spin, I'm definitely copping when it hits stores.

Then why would you reply to a post calling out people who listen to generic rappers? :laugh:
-
I think Tyga is cool. He is pretty generic, but he is making hot songs and has some hot production. Black Thoughts 2 I really liked, that more recent mixtape not as much, but I cant wait for this album.
The saltyness of some posters on this forum is really crazy though. Tyga is hot and he should get support from the west, even if you think he is generic, no need to dump on him, he is trying to make moves and holds down Cali, what else can you ask?

He has a better album then doggystyle?

havent heard it, but will buy a copy. Not too many new West coast mainstream artist can get a release these days...props to him getting an album out
-
Album is alright, kinda underwhelming IMO
Not a lot of "bad" tracks, but enough of "good" ones either. Basically, most songs are like a 3/5.
The two best tracks are easily "Black Crowns" & "Kings & Queens." Nas absolutely destroys 8)
Big Sean's verse is a highlight also. Tracks with Robin Thicke, T-Pain & J. Cole also are all decent.
And I love the Birdman skit :laugh:

I should support an artist I think is wack just because he's from Cali?

You can't be generic and fresh at the same time. Two separate meanings there. Tyga unfortunately falls under the former and not the latter.
-
The saltyness of some posters on this forum is really crazy though. Tyga is hot and he should get support from the west, even if you think he is generic, no need to dump on him, he is trying to make moves and holds down Cali, what else can you ask?
Take note. This forum only cares about rappers from Cali who only know how to rap about gangbanging and weed.

he would have been better on the song J. Cole is on :o
-
I've bumped the album a few times. Some songs I really dig, some songs are wack. He reminds me of Game in that he's not a particularly talented rapper but he has the ability to make good songs when he's pushed in the right direction. Basically he's Game without Dre. Except without the namedropping, so possibly better. I'll drop a full review later.

So you drank a bit of the haterade as well? At least he's better than Daz, right?

Why would you spend all kinds of money and marketing on a rapper without talent? To make him sound mediocre?

Haterade? I'm pointing out his album has some wack songs. Most albums do.

You don't need to ask that question unless you think every major label rapper is talented.

I’m trying my hand at writing reviews. Wrote this today, let me know what you think….
Ever had an artist you expect great things from drop an average project that leaves you disappointed? Enter Tyga, a rapper I expected nothing from who released a decent album that left me pleasantly surprised. To be fair, I didn’t know much of Tyga before giving Careless World a listen. And neither the menacing club anthem Rack City nor the love ballad Far Away show what he’s truly capable of. Coming straight outta Compton to make his major label debut on Young Money, Tyga doesn’t sound like your typical Southern California emcee; Or a Lil Wayne prodigy for that matter. This ends up being a good thing.
What carries this album is the combination of smooth production and Tyga’s solid lyrics as he delves into his own life experiences. His topics range from coming up in the game to love and love lost, which could have made for cliché songs if not the sense of honesty he brings along with his confidence on the mic. Tyga’s standout track is without a doubt Let It Show, an ode to life in the spotlight. Over an epically smooth groove, he invites us to “Take a look into Tyga’s eyes/I breath love but inhale the hate bomb.” He shines with a seamless flow and addresses the façade so many rappers put up, asking us ”Serious, look how my face look/How could a man cry while the crowd looks?” It’s in this song where he truly comes into his own, outperforming J. Cole who does his thing as well. Another excellent highlight is Light Dreams, in which Tyga eschews the traditional 3 verse structure in favor of one extended train-of-thought like musing, dropping knowledge like, “Only make moves when your heart’s in it/BIG said it, so I entertain like Cedric.” And entertain he does throughout most of the album. Marsha Ambrosius closes the song and album with a soulful sendoff.
Careless World does have its weaker moments, particularly with some of the featured artists. Faded is a song that just doesn’t need to exist, with Tyga’s lyrics devolving to match the slapstick style of Lil Wayne. Nicki Minaj, is well…Nicki Minaj. Though it’s understandable that Tyga’s two biggest label mates are featured, they really do nothing for this album except to remind us it’s Young Money baby. T-Pain makes an appearance at a time when his style is well and truly played out. His feature does nothing for those seeking substance, and I doubt he does much to appeal to the pop crowd either. In spite of these hiccups, Tyga as an artist convinces me that he actually has something to say most of the time. Not surprisingly it’s the moments where he reverts to club music style lyrics that hold this album back. Taken as a whole, the better tracks manage to shine through and show a promising artist worth checking for in the future…as long as his heart’s in it.
3/5 ya dig?
Highlights: Let it Show, Light Dreams, Kings and Queens, Black Crowns
-
CRANK THIS MUTHAPHUKKA UP
-
Theres some good features and production on here so I'm gonna peep the tracks people have mentioned plus the Pharrell ones, never really listened to Tyga so I'll see how we go
-
So I listened to a few of the tracks and I was actually quite impressed, production was dope, features all did their thing and Tyga was all good, Black Crowns, King and Queens, Let It Show, I'm Gone and Light Dreams were all highlights. I didn't notice Marsha on Light Dreams though?

Another excellent highlight is Light Dreams, in which Tyga eschews the traditional 3 verse structure in favor of one extended train-of-thought like musing, dropping knowledge like, “Only make moves when your heart’s in it/BIG said it, so I entertain like Cedric.” And entertain he does throughout most of the album. Marsha Ambrosius closes the song and album with a soulful sendoff.
Careless World does have its weaker moments, particularly with some of the featured artists. Faded is a song that just doesn’t need to exist, with Tyga’s lyrics devolving to match the slapstick style of Lil Wayne. Nicki Minaj, is well…Nicki Minaj. Though it’s understandable that Tyga’s two biggest label mates are featured, they really do nothing for this album except to remind us it’s Young Money baby. T-Pain makes an appearance at a time when his style is well and truly played out. His feature does nothing for those seeking substance, and I doubt he does much to appeal to the pop crowd either. In spite of these hiccups, Tyga as an artist convinces me that he actually has something to say most of the time. Not surprisingly it’s the moments where he reverts to club music style lyrics that hold this album back. Taken as a whole, the better tracks manage to shine through and show a promising artist worth checking for in the future…as long as his heart’s in it.

Listened to the Tyga album on the drive. Weird project. Very..."plastic"...but not bad. Kinda like the diet coke Drake or something
production was ok. Some really weird beats that I didn't like. Some boring. Some good
