    Tyga has served up a solid effort with The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty, exploring new territory and pushing himself in a different direction than he’d gone during his ratchet past work. It’s just not necessarily a better one.

    The album is full of songs that falter either for a lack of a guiding beat or because of misguided lyrics that carry little purpose.

    The Gold Album is underscored by its poor creative choices.

    We have 12 microwave-nuked approximations of Drake songs circa 2013 and Kanye songs spanning from The College Dropout to Yeezus, with none of the wit, soul, or edge.

    2.200 copies in first week? That's the right commercial performance for this album. What can I say about this album is terrible, trash,2.200 copies in first week? That's the right commercial performance for this album. What can I say about this album is terrible, trash, crappy, sleepy and the worst. This is the worst album of all time, worst hip hop album of all time, worst Tyga album of all time. Tyga just fail to make great album since Hotel California. What is the best song of this album? None. What is the worst song of the album? All tracks! **** Tyga don't make great songs like Wait for a Minute, 40 Mill or Make It Work on the album. What happened with him? If this album only peaked below number 100 on Billboard 200, that don't surprised me.… Full Review »

    I can't believe Kanye accepted to be a part of this. Tyga is a lacklustre artist, lacking charisma and relevant content. His flow is alwaysI can't believe Kanye accepted to be a part of this. Tyga is a lacklustre artist, lacking charisma and relevant content. His flow is always the same, unless he's straight up jacking Drake's 'Started From the Bottom' flow despite claiming to have an issue with Drake. The production is trap influenced with all the high hats and others are very west-coast influenced with heavy bass, but Tyga fails to create interesting, well put together song concepts, instead littering great beats with redundant lyrics. Horrible album, very basic, the only good thing about this album is the production but in the end it seems like a great tragedy to have them be completely wasted on Tyga and his basic rhyming ass. The album cover's dope too, that's it. 2/10… Full Review »

    The worst Tyga studio album so far. I really like "Wait for a Minute", " Hookah" and "40 Milli" but so disappointed that these singles don'tThe worst Tyga studio album so far. I really like "Wait for a Minute", " Hookah" and "40 Milli" but so disappointed that these singles don't drop on the album final cut. "Hollywood N****z" is the only track that I like from the album. Other tracks are just garbage. The production of the album is poor, too. Thought that Kanye West will improve the album but no, he did it very bad in this album. The guest apperances are very poor. Lil Wayne and Boosie Badazz did very well in Free Weezy Album and Touchdown 2 Cause Hell but they're just crappy in this album. Tyga tries to improve his voice but his voice in this album is bad, worse than Fan of a Fan: The Album. His voice is sleepy and creepy. Don't waste your money to this album, you'll need a refund then.… Full Review »
