Sometimes, it can get extremely tedious, the repetition could make even the most astute listener a bit drowsy. However, every once in a while, he\u2019ll knock it out of the park, the kind of rap that sounds like seaside breezes and self improvement. <\/p>\n<p>However, obviously, the real star is 2 Chainz. <em>Life is Beautiful<\/em> seemed deliberately made with the intention of spotlighting the veteran Atlanta rapper. The uninitiated might be inclined to foolishly dismiss him based on some contrived idea of \u2018correct\u2019 hip-hop. They\u2019ll argue that if a rapper doesn\u2019t sound like the trademark, textbook example, their penmanship and artistry can\u2019t come up to par.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, anyone with ears can hear this isn\u2019t true. 2 Chainz was one of hip-hop\u2019s most animated artists in his prime, a syrupy flow with a distinct sense of humor and animation. Moreover, this is the same rapper who was insanely creative enough to say \u2018<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/limitedrapposting\/videos\/2-chainz-made-givenchy-sound-like-a-fuckin-sneeze-this-man-is-too-underrated\/2512874255658560\/\">Givenchy<\/a>\u2018 in a way that mimics a sneeze. Still, if people needed proof of his credibility, hopping on Alchemist\u2019s soul-sampled songs is the easiest way. His luxury rap fluctuates between silly (\u201cwatch got a rock band like Coldplay\u201d) and menacing (\u201c80, that\u2019s two Glock 40s, you wanna meet the twins?) alike. As breezy as a Larry June record may sound, a further examination might prove fruitful. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-savage-platform-youtube-placeholder\" data-component=\"youtube-placeholder\">\n\t\t<button type=\"button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play video<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" width=\"72\" height=\"50.76\"><use href=\"#am-symbol-youtube-play-dark\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/FKFcdk_q-lw\/maxresdefault.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/FKFcdk_q-lw\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<template><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Raq baby - Committing Crime (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FKFcdk_q-lw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/template><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<noscript><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Raq baby - Committing Crime (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FKFcdk_q-lw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-raq-baby-committing-crime\">Raq Baby- \u201cCommitting Crime\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cCommitting Crime\u201d sounds like the seething frustration that comes with the unbearable heat outside.
