Yo Gotti may just now be really getting that mainstream attention as an artist, but heโs been putting in work for what seems like forever now. Itโs definitely not the most high brow of music but itโs a cut above the majority of the other street rap youโll hear out there, and with each new go around he seems to top his last big single with an even bigger one. He may not be a consistent go to of mine but I always do typically enjoy his projects soย I Still Am was still on my watch list.
โIf I could talk to god like a real n*gga one on one, Iโd tell him
Need my homeboys back, and a couple n*ggas thatโs jailinโ
Couple n*ggas convicted felons
I like the church but I donโt trust the reverend
Soul been absent in my presenceโ
This go around however, I was left feeling more than a bit underwhelmed. Outside of the massive hit that is โRack It Upโ, thereโs nothing onย I Still Am that really stood out to me. It all felt like pretty generic fare at this point and more of a check list of song types (even got the Chris Brown featured song for the ladies) than a genuine effort to create something authentic. The songs even seemed to lack a lot of that blunt charisma that makes me listen to his music for more than the beats in the first place. I donโt know if this album was a product of misplaced label involvement or what, but this is by far Yo Gottiโs weakest project in recent memory. Not even a strip club anthem of the year like โRack It Upโ can spice up this bland assortment of music.
Have you heardย I Still Am? Whatโd you think about it? Is this Yo Gottiโs weakest project yet? Let me know in the comments below and be sure to leave your own reactions and ratings for the album.
