Album Review: YG - "I Got Issues"

I Got Issues is not only good, but it’s also a project that indicates how much YG has grown as an artist.

YG is comical, he’s blunt, he plays a robber, he plays an activist, he plays a womanizer, he plays a gangbanger, and he claims to be an alcoholic. The level of rawness that he approached this album with caught my attention. Aside from his many different hats, I think on songs like “Drink To This” and “No Weapon” you get strong rap verses out of YG that prove that he could go toe to toe with the best of them. 

I Got Issues is a well-crafted, down-to-earth body of work that accurately describes the life and times of a heartbreaker/hood savant/father of two. Though the album may not be as exciting as the other albums you’ve heard this year, it is something refreshingly genuine.
