For a while, it seemed like 2 Chainz’s hit making days were over. This is the best he's been in a long time and the most self-aware. It teases at an ability to stray from his formula without drifting too far out of his lane. The one curveball is "Mindin My Business," a staggered, minimalist cut that showcases some of his most clear-eyed writing (" Resident Evil around these parts/ Peanut got killed in his front yard"). albums could work as mixtape tracks, and actually the only time he ever loses the thread is when he tries to devote. 2 Chainz just released a new a new EP 'FreeBase, ' but he does plan to drop an actual album very soon.
On "Back on the Bullshyt," he packs raps into a spiraling, woozy synth progression, and Wayne turns in one of his stronger performances of late.

He tags on two clean versions of the likely singles at the end, as if to remove any doubt what demo he's appealing to: These are for radio rotation, for packing dancefloors. "I don’t have to front/ I park in the front with the trunk in the front," he raps, and it’s hard not to revel in his flair and flamboyance.

On "This Me, Fuck It" (which also appeared on Timbaland’s King Stays King mixtape), he raps in compact bursts over one of Timbo’s signature, slithering flute loops, slinging zingers together. This go around, his raps aren’t only funny, they’re balanced, and he peppers them in over a wide-ranging assortment of sounds from producers Cardo, Mike WiLL Made-It, Zaytoven, FKi, and Timbaland. Too much 2 Chainz can be a bit like eating icing directly from a pastry bag: fun at first, then nauseating. "I don't care about the tats on your faces/ Them bitches cost $15/ I don't care about the pills that you're taking/ Them bitches cost $15!" he raps on the title track, hamming it up with phrase-punctuating tonal shifts. The brevity allows him to be the entertainer who captivated audiences with jokey, absurd runs of guest verses again. 2 Chainz cuts out the filler here, and is better for it: His trifle-heavy rap style works better in condensed space, and at six tracks that’s exactly what we've got. Trap-A-Velli Tre had its moments, but it was way too drawn out and scattershot,with a few songs that were as weird as they were unnecessary. At just about 20 minutes, Felt Like Cappin is a natural progression from 2014’s underrated FreeBaseEP*,* with last year’s Trap-A-Velli Tre mixtape serving as more of a stopgap.
