(March 8, 2012) — Lacking creativity, meaning and lyricism, Tyga’s Careless World: Rise of The Last King album is a disappointment and frustration. Although much can’t be expected from an artist who is a part of Young Money Cash Money Billionaires (YMCMB), Tyga should, at the very least, release something worth listening to. It is embarrassing that Tyga’s album is classified as rap/hip hop. By releasing this album, he is just reinforcing the false misconception that rap stands for retards attempting poetry. As far as lyricism goes, this album offers the bare minimum, although props should be given for the well-produced beats in the album, such as those of “Rack City” and “Faded.” Putting him in the league of other rappers is difficult when he’s rapping about how he has “cheese like a nacho” (“Rack City”) or how he’s “fresher than a peppermint” (“Rack City”). Honestly, his verses sound like something that came from an elementary school student. There seems to be a very generic and consistent formula for the songs on this album. You mix one dose of girls with two doses of money and just a pinch of haters and what do you have? The only three topics that Tyga addresses in Careless World . Although the album features rap legend Nas and the lyrically creative J. Cole, the rest of the album fails to fall into the category of quality hip-hop. Even putting two of the greatest rappers in the game in this album still doesn’t balance out how painfully shallow this album is. Heartfelt emotional lyrics is what this album desperately needs. After all, hip hop music is supposed to tell us a thought provoking story which we can sit down and reflect on. It’s supposed to give us something to think about. Careless World doesn’t offer this to hip-hop fans. It is apparent that this album is full of “club bangers” and gives people “something to ride to,” but it’s depressing what the state of hip-hop/rap has come to. When you compare Careless World with the rest of the albums that YMCMB has put out, it’s clear to see that this entire group is releasing records filled with ignorance. When you compare albums such as Take Care by Drake and the Carter IV by Lil Wayne, it’s apparent that the topics these artists address are exactly the same. That being said, Tyga, along with YMCMB, are ruining the state of hip-hop.
