His macabre humor is weird as shit and highly un-2012, in the hilarious highlight “Birthday Song”: “When I die/ bury me with 2 bitches,” or a line about his friends asking him how he comes up with his shit, followed by the most generic rap demand possible: “All I want for my birthday is a big booty ho.” When he tags in Kanye, the villainy is hilarious, chanting “Bad bitch contest/ You win first place” and being an asshole about previous gifts (“Last birthday/ She got you a new sweater/ Put it on, give her a kiss / And tell her ‘Do better’”). This is the game itself, being traded from labels like teams-Ludacris wasn’t working out, so here’s Kanye.Ĭhainz is rap’s current man of the hour, his Cheech Marin-like flow on 2012 hits like Nicki Minaj’s “Beez in the Trap” and his own Drake team-up “No Lie,” only makes those desolate, airport lounge space-beats even weirder to hear the opposite of space on them-pure terra firma, dirty and regional. Apparently a dude mostly associated with drug money and boobs changed his name for something more “family-friendly.” He just shed skins and kept moving upward, longer than rappers are allowed Playaz Circle might as well have been Philly’s Most Wanted. But that didn’t stop me from asking who 2 Chainz was when he started appearing out of “nowhere” on high-profile singles this year. Story to mixed reviews, but the album was later certified Gold in sales by the RIAA. The following August, he released his debut studio album Based on a T.R.U. 2 Chainz used to be Tity Boi, an affront to the mainstream if a moniker ever was one. In February 2012, 2 Chainz signed a solo record deal with Def Jam Recordings. I loved a song by him-Playaz Circle’s “Duffle Bag Boy”-before I or much of his current audience knew who he was. This guy’s a big story in beating rap’s merciless turnover rate.
