10 years later, B.O.A.T.S. II: #METIME might be 2 Chainz’s classic

2 Chainz's 2013 album B.O.A.T.S. II: #METIME opens with a vision of catastrophe — he can't find the cash he left in his pants.

It gets worse: "I had a dream/that rap wouldn't work," he intones over a ripple of bass. "I woke up on the block/had to hit it with the fork." Producers Mike WiLL Made It and P-Nasty bring in an organ that buzzes like a swarm of locusts.

Then: "Rap won't work, records ain't being sold." It's hard to tell if he's looking at the past (bygone days of label purgatory in the 2000s), or the then-present, "the year streaming became unignorable." Then again, this is a 2 Chainz album. "So much money on me, it won't even fold," he marvels.
