YG has been in the game for over a decade and has dropped consistent
hits, but the quality of his albums tends to be inconsistent. This one in
particular, titled ‘I Got Issues’, is surprisingly incoherent and sounds all-over-the-place.
Certain songs sound fresh and relevant through their production, while others
sound as though they were recorded at least five years ago. The vocal mixing on
some songs is fantastic, while others sound as though they threw YG’s raw
vocals over a beat and forgot to add anything beyond a basic EQ. A few catchy
hooks show up here and there, and some of the beats sound unique enough to
stand out. YG tends to throw funny/unorthodox bars into his songs, which he adds
to several across this album. Single Scared Money is a fun song, with solid
features from J. Cole and Moneybagg Yo, but YG’s opener on the track is
overshadowed by the catchier, and better-written verses that follow it. The
album sounds as though not enough thought was put into its pre-production and organization,
but it’s nice to see that YG can still put together a catchy song/hook every once
in a while. Specific tracks are worth giving a listen, such as Sober
(ft. Roddy Ricch & Post Malone), Scared Money, and Issues.
