And the fact that he raps this way on the mixtape will overshadow the actual dope lyrics like “Don’t make me number two ya/ Ok I need some Charmin/I got swag for sell, and I’m giving n****as bargains”. Too much whore talk and too much gun talk. The problem that comes with TRU first is that while he shows off his talent on some songs and lines up features frpm the likes of Kreayshawn, Raekwon, Trey Songz, Big Sean and the bird talk crew of Birdman, Yo Gotti and Young Jeezy, he again just seems to simplify himself a little too much as a trap rapper. Not because it lacks specific things in certain areas, but because 2 Chainz convinced me that he is wasting his talent watering himself and his music down to appeal, and that he is better than this mixtape. But unfortunately TRU REALigion is actually just okay. TRU REALigion is for everyone who wants to bump loud music in their car and is a part of the “swag” movement that has all of a sudden taken over. He’s actually better than the trap rappers out today like Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, French Montana, and a shade under Rick Ross. Despite the ridiculous name change, Chainz is actually a decently talented rapper.

Now allow me to make a few points about 2 Chainz and this mixtape. So, he followed the hype and following he never had with Playaz Circle (minus Duffle Bag Boy) with the highly anticipated TRU REALigion hosted by loud mouth DJ Drama. He released Codeine Cowboy earlier this year and had the single “Spend It” on MTV doggone nearly every hour.

2011 we have seen the rise of 2 Chainz, aka Tity Boi from Playaz Circle, and, quite frankly, he has taken the mixtape world by storm. It has been awhile since a rapper has risen to the top of the trap music food via a solo outing chain since 50 Cent was running the mixtape game in 2002-03. Now I’m just saying, I’m the hottest n****a in the streets.” “I always said, I’m the hottest n****a in the streets without a Gangsta Grillz.
