Sep 10, 20132 Chainz is still a punch-line rapper at heart, but B.O.A.T.S. II adds some Bootsy Collins charisma and ambitious ringleader style to his discography. Pick the sequel over the original and get ready for some stinky, dank, and fun me time.

Sep 10, 20132 Chainz forges deeper emotional connections, but that surface is as entrancing as ever. B.O.A.T.S II ups the production values like a true sequel should.
-
Sep 18, 2013He has done his best to deliver the kind of care-free, gaudy rap album that will be blaring from the speakers of house parties everywhere for months to come, and B.O.A.T.S. II #METIME readily delivers on that promise.

Entertainment WeeklySep 18, 2013One minute of Chainz' absurdist couplets is gold, but the longer he coasts on his own, the more the shine fades. [20/27 Sep 2013, p.152]

The SourceNov 26, 2013While there might be a few missteps her and there--particularly in the strength of some of the verses--most of the album works really well. [Nov 2013, p.93]

Nov 15, 2013There is certainly a lot of dumb going on across #METIME‘s hour, but its seamless transition from absurdity to a more pathos-oriented final third creates a dimension that acknowledges 2 Chainz doesn’t have to be a jester to entertain us. He just enjoys the ride.

Sep 10, 20132 Chainz’s fixations are the same: money, women , clothes, drugs, and lots of trap beats. Still, things come off more polished.
-
Sep 10, 2013His second LP further displays his knack for playfully hollering about money like he's the first guy who ever had so much paper he couldn't fold it.
-
Sep 18, 2013B.O.A.T.S. II is an album that feels happy just to exist, a rejection of the modern idea that album releases are serious events and all the tracks that sound like they were fun to make get relegated to bonus cuts or mixtapes.
