Damn, this was actually a well put together album....not every nigga is a lyricist but that doesnt mean they can't put together a well thought out cohesive album.....
 
I hope YG and Kdot help bring back concept albums

Shit is much better than just recording 26272838 songs and picking 15 to go on an album, but they don't make any sense together.
 
Sitting down with MTV on the day of his album release, YG explained what motivated his “Really Be” single and how Kendrick Lamar chose the song for his feature.

“I recorded it up in Atlanta and I knew that it sounded like a record that Kendrick would get on,” YG said. “So when I got to L.A.,his engineer who did his album, Ali, he mixed my album too, they been hearing my album since like September, so they been hearing it. Kendrick told me that when it was time to put out my album he was gonna hop on one of my records, so he wanted to hear the whole album. So we played him the whole album, then he heard that song, he like, ‘I’m hopping on that, that’s the best song on there.’ That’s how it came, just like that. Real simple."

Asked about the inspiration behind the song, YG explained wanting to share what drives him to drink alcohol. “The inspiration behind the ‘Really Be’ record was just a whole bunch of stuff I was going through, that I been through,” he said. “I drink a lot of alcohol, you feel me, I wanted to let the people why I drink when I drink or when I smoke I smoke, or when the next person drink or smoke...most of the time it’s reasons behind that. You be tripping sometimes, you have something going on. Like today I woke up and there was stuff that I wanted to go on that didn’t go on right. So I woke up, I was mad, I was hot just off something little like that. But I got some of that Avión, I took that Avión back and I was cool. That’s how it go.”

YG’s My Krazy Life was released earlier this week on Tuesday (March 18). The rapper announced a string of tour dates in support of his debut and first-week sales predictions estimate an expected 45,000 to 55,000 albums sold. HipHopDX granted My Krazy Life 3 out of 5 stars in a review that mentions the “Really Be” single specifically. The song "takes a sudden turn to stray from the script,” the HipHopDX review says. "Venting about stresses including paranoia and the pressures of fame, YG puts his machismo to the side to hold his own alongside a barrage from Rap’s leading firecracker Kendrick Lamar. This welcome glimpse into reality is uncharacteristic for an emcee most known for bragging on his hard earned criminal reputation and prowess with a variety of women.”

YG’s My Krazy Life Debuts At #2

Selling just over 60,000 units in its first week on shelves, YG’s My Krazy Life displaced Pharrell Williams at the #2 spot. The Def Jam debut, which features production from DJ Mustard and a feature from Kendrick Lamar, is YG’s first time on the charts. Earlier this week, the rapper talked about the release in an interview with Hot 97, saying “it’s easy to make a classic album.” “Yeah, it just take time,” YG said. “I feel like if you give a nigga stories and all that on your album and it’s really like—no matter if it blow. Like Jay Z first album’s a classic, but it didn’t sell a lot…If you giving stories and it’s realistic like people feel it. And like ‘He ain’t lying.’ That’s a classic.”

While on the show, YG also credited Jeezy for giving him artistic freedom on the album. “As far as the music, he let me do my thing," YG said. "You feel me? Like he come in. He give me advice. But when I link up with him it was never a problem with the music…Just making the right moves and connecting with the right person. Cause I was on the West Coast. It was hard. It was hard for me on this side and the South. But then when I link up with Jeezy we start working. We did the mixtape, the ‘My Nigga’ record. Shit started clicking. And then he was at the label. Doing his stuff and going hard for me.”

Nigga, I'm from Bounty Hunters, East Side lunatic

Gang bang, slap a bitch

I ain't with the extras, I ain't got a stunt double

You ain't got no hands so they might let the gun touch you

Is you bangin' or you ballin', nigga?

You a fax machine, we can't call it, nigga

Everybody ain't a friend, reason why I keep a fo'

You wanna gamble with your life, bet that on the tender-fold, nigga
