“ Meet The Flockers” seems like a titular play on the Ben Stiller movie Meet The Fockers, but more relevantly, it’s a joint about robbers (“flockers”). Another enjoyable cut, among my favorite lyrics were “Wifey don’t like SEGA, I don’t play that bitch.” So, if you can rewrite the title of the song, it’s likely “Kickin’ Back Being Cool” (“K” would have the same sound as “C” and wouldn’t be in true Blood style likely). This would be because of the rivalry with the Crips. Why such an odd title? Apparently, the Bloods, a prominent gang in California, avoid the use of the letter “C” or words using “C”. He follows up his emotionless hook-up with the eye-catching “ Bicken Back Being Bool”. Of course, “Left, Right” is nothing more than physical as YG could care less about his partner: “… if you cheated on me, I won’t care, right?” “…She can divide her legs on this dick like a fraction,” he naughtily spits on the first verse, “Right, right, left, hit ‘em with that right, left”. YG is definitely in full-on salacious mode, leaving few elements of sex to the imagination. “Left, Right” (featuring DJ Mustard) ends up being an exceptionally produced club banger with booty on the mind. Jay Rock, who takes the third verse is all gangster: “I ain’t got a stunt double / you ain’t got no hands so you might let the gun touch you…” “I Just Wanna Party” is certain edgy, but also the first standout from My Krazy Life.’ Schoolboy Q handles the second verse, boldly bragging he “could sell a key to God”, referencing drugs, specifically kilos. Here, YG, assisted by Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock, spits “But I just wanna party, I don’t wanna hurt nobody”, but also states “I’ll beat the fuck out of a n***a.” YG definitely talks some trash, but if you can get past the street savvy, he’s also being trill, particularly rapping “All these hoes fuckin’, but they don’t wanna seem like a ho / so you gotta hit ‘em on the low…”
“ I Just Wanna Party” can be considered to be the first full-length cut. “BPT” sort of confuses early on taken out of context, but it makes perfect sense later on. On the verses, he delivers incredibly agile rhymes with a rough and tumble sentiment: “That 40 Glock snap like Insta, ain’t no need for a caption / I got put on by four n***as, wasn’t need for no bandage…” “BPT” ends abruptly, sort of like a cliffhanger – you must keep on listening to discover what’s to come essentially. “I’m from BPT (West side)…400 Bruce Street”, he raps on the hook. The following “ BPT” is brief, and continues to find YG sort of introducing him self and the way he has/does live. “Momma Speech Intro” definitely foreshadows and establishes the tone: “…I hope you ain’t outside hanging with them gangbangers / you gon’ end up in motherfucking jail, like your damn daddy.” A heavy way to kick things off, it’s truly just a facet, a piece of YG’s Krazy Life. Still, for his first album, this west coast effort is more thrilling than not and shows tremendous potential. While the MC has a sensational flow, he’s not as quite alluring (yet) as the very best in the game.
Overall, YG ends up delivering a compelling effort, though it’s not perfect. Throughout this dark 14-track set (18 tracks on deluxe editions), YG tells the story of his life, in all its explicit details – sometimes it’s even TMI.
has good reason to eye stardom and the hope for a ‘better’ life. Judging by its title ( My Krazy Life) as well as the content enclosed, Y.G. YG is the latest rapper on a long list of hopefuls to release his major label debut, searching for his ‘come-up’. Overall, Compton, California rapper YG delivers a compelling debut with My Krazy Life.
