2 Chainz & Statik Selektah announce joint album — Statik says 2 Chainz is "rapping like he's from NY

[tuckgod]

2 Chainz could really rap if he wanted to, his Mercy verse is a good example. i'm sure he's got more too

He really raps on all his records.

 

[AMcV'88]

Chainz one of the best out now..he don't need to rap like he from NY to sound nice.
but since we talking about songs in that vein

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

2 chainz had the best verse on the de la soul album to me... I want this shyt now

I forgot about that!

You can tell 2 Chainz came up in the early 2000s the way his Pen game is so witty

Fans of Statik Selektah's "Smoke Break" featuring 2 Chainz are in store for quite a treat later this year.

According to the veteran producer—who announced a management deal with Roc Nation earlier today (May 25)—in addition to 2 Chainz' upcoming Pretty Girls Like Trap Music album—slated for release on June 16—the Atlanta rapper is planning on releasing a second project "very soon," which is produced in full by Statik.

"He's been killing features and his own records for a long time," Statik told Billboard. "When you hear these records, it's just so different. No one has ever done what he did with this project. First of all, he's rapping like he's from Brooklyn. It's just very New York. Basically, a down South guy made a New York album, so I'm excited for that."

Hold up. Did Statik just say that 2 Chainz is rapping over his beats like he's from Brooklyn?

Last week, in an interview with Genius, when engineer Alex Tumay was quoted as saying that one of Young Thug's recently-recorded 24-bar verses "sounded like Kendrick Lamar," the internet collectively laughed. Young Thug sounding like Kendrick? Nah, no way. But 2 Chainz rapping like he's from Brooklyn? Yeah, this I have to hear.

Statik went on to say that, while a title for their joint project has been decided, he will wait for 2 Chainz before making the announcement.

No he doesn't...

He's good as he is but probably just flexing his skills

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

If Chainz rapped his age I would be a super fan.

 

[Carr]

Chainz been killing verses for almost 20 years now

 

[1-8-7-Skillz]

Is this ever coming out ?

 

[SoulController]

Is this ever coming out ?

saw 2C mention last year that Statik announced it way too early. still kinda weird tho, im thinking it could be an issue with Def Jam. not nearly as much commercial potential as your average album from him

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

2 Chainz did his thing on this one too
