So Lil Yachty has just released the sequel to his Lil Boat mixtape, but is it good?
That's the question we're gonna be answering today.
I actually kinda enjoyed the first Lil Boat mixtape and got a fair amount of enjoyment
out of it.
You know it was quite entertaining, it was quite fun.
So does this one hold up or even excel past the first one?
This is CDTVProductions and let's talk about, lets talk about this album.
(Intro: Clip - Lil Yachty "Das Cap")
Seeing as this is the sequel, I might as well start of by telling you guys why I actually
kinda enjoyed the first Lil Boat mixtape.
I appreciated that Yachty somewhat brought a bit of a unique sound on there, he had this
goofy charm and he was making some music over these fun, playful instrumentals.
Like no matter what you think of him, he did have a distinctive sound and was different
to a degree.
That's what made his music stand out to me.
I especially enjoyed his autotuned singing tracks, of which there were quite a few on
Lil Boat.
Basically, the type of Yachty I usually like is the "f*** them kids bro" Yachty.
And... there's barely any of that on here.
The only tracks that really reminded me of his Lil Boat 1 style was She Ready, which
is a good track, and maybe also Love Me Forever which is super average.
And 80% of the remaining tracks are insanely uninteresting, it genuinely surprised me.
What is Yachty doing here?
On this tape, in my opinion, he loses absolutely everything that made him an interesting character
in the first place.
He's substituted the goofy singing which was quite quirky and fun, with this low key
style of rapping that it sounds like anyone else could pull off better.
What makes it even worse, what makes it stand out even more, is that across this whole tape,
or on a lot of these tracks at least, he just sounds so timid.
You can't rap about flexing on people and trying to sound hard when you're rapping
in this tone that makes it sound like you're scared your parents will find out you're
cursing in your rap songs.
(Clip: Lil Yachty "Mickey").
Yachty does rap with confidence occasionally, such as on the track Pop Out, but that's
just one of many tracks here where he doesn't rap with any confidence at all.
It sounds kinda like 21 Savage if his voice hadn't broken yet and he was nervous to
be rapping.
Not to mention, he still has a few songs where his flow doesn't even sound that great,
which is an issue I have a lot when Yachty raps.
On songs like Talk To Me Nice and the pre-hook Of Oops, his flow sounds so damn clumsy, it's
actually sort of cringey to listen to.
(Clip: Lil Yachty "Oops (featuring 2 Chainz & K$upreme)").
Sometimes it feels like Yachty thinks not pausing for a breath makes for a good flow,
and it can, but you really have to think about if it actually sits on the beat nicely.
On those songs I mentioned, it doesn't.
I will say that his flow has improved if you take it as a whole, like he flows good on
songs such as Count Me In an NBAYoungBoat, but it's not like he flows well enough to
save the project.
And whilst the beats are just fine in terms of how they're produced, except for maybe
Count Me In which sounds like the instrumental for Magnolia had a less mentally capable cousin,
these beats are so clearly not Yachty's style, and I wish he would stop rapping over
these beats that sound like they're more suited to the Migos.
See when Yachty rapped in the past, or even on the first Lil Boat mixtape, he would use
these instrumentals that were still bright and vibrant, they would still have this kind
of summer-ey, nice, upbeat feel to it, but on this tape he opts for this mixture of menacing
or gloomy beats and it really takes away what made his music so unique, what gave him his
own personality.
His voice is not made for dark bangers, it's just not.
Sure, he still has some funny lines, some lines that make me laugh, but the tone is
so off.
There's no fun to be had when its over these dark beats.
The intro and Outro tracks do have a lighter tone to them, but they also aren't that
great either.
It's kinda hard to talk about what I like on this album because fundamentally I don't
like what is on here.
It sounds so fake and forced.
Basically, if you like what Lil Yachty did on the Quality Control compilation tape, you'll
like this.
I didn't like what he did on there so if you also didn't like what he did on there, I'll
save you 45 minutes and tell you what you should listen to from this project.
The 2 Chainz Verse From Oops, Tee Grizzley's gritty verse on Get Money Bros, She Ready,
NBAYoungBoat which is a fun enough track, even though I felt like NBA YoungBoy sounded
a lot like a more energetic version of Quavo on it, and surprisingly Lil Pump's energetic
verse on Baby Daddy was notable enough to stand out.
That's it.
And notice i said you should check out most of those tracks for the features.
Not Yachty himself.
This is not good.
If it sounds like I'm struggling to speak about the positives of this mixtape, it's
because I genuinely don't see many.
Maybe you like Yachty doing this style, I personally can't stand it.
There's barely any redeeming qualities to it, and I think I enjoyed Teenage Emotions
more than this.
At least Yachty sounded like himself on Teenage Emotions.
I've got to give Lil Boat 2 by Lil Yachty a 2.3/10.
This might be the worst album I've heard so far this year.
I didn't think Yachty could go lower than Teenage Emotions, but he managed it with this
for me.
So what did you guys think?
