It’s the perfect blend of thug and party sounds from DJ Mustard, along with some gangsta lyrics from all of these LA rappers. The sentiment of the song takes an immediate menacing tone in the hook: ‘I just wanna party, I don’t wanna hurt nobody/I just wanna party/ I don’t wanna hurt nobody/I just wanna party/ I don’t wanna hurt nobody/But I’ll beat the fuck out of a nigga!’ (source: ). The third track on the album is ‘I Just Wanna Party’ featuring TDE stablemates Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock. It’s a gangsta tune, as the title itself suggests, in purest Blood speech. ‘Bickin Back Bein’ Bool’ is probably the best song on the album, as YG has the opportunity to shine by himself. It almost encourages to drive with rapacity, such is the energy of the more single-worthy tracks on the album. The album is fantastic to drive too, due in part to DJ Mustard’s beats, which sound penetrating thanks to car speakers (although my car isn’t the best, just a Peugeot 206). After listening to more songs via spotify, I finally bought the album during summer. Coupled with an unforgettable chorus by Rich Homie Quan, it might be one of the defining West Coast tracks of 2014. The verses include hood realities, and in essence express the companionship people can have in the type of neighbourhood that YG comes from, but also the countless areas that are similar to it. The track’s deep sound is simple, but heavy hitting.
The second YG tune I heard was ‘My Hitta’ when a friend showed it to me. His bars, memorable hook and Mustard’s simplistic beat drew me in. I was hooked to YG when watching my housemate play GTA 5, and his track ‘ Im A Real 1‘ blasted from the tv. YG’s ‘My Krazy Life’ is my favourite Hip Hop album of 2014.
