    The Art of Hustle has vision, but it's occasionally weighed down by Gotti's efforts to recreate the success of his biggest single yet.

    This is terrible. The beats are 90% all the same and extremely predictable, it's like I'm listening to just one long song. The features onThis is terrible. The beats are 90% all the same and extremely predictable, it's like I'm listening to just one long song. The features on this are extremely weak, from Lil' Wayne's efforts to get into mumble rap and failing miserably, to Future's embarrassing completely off-key singing, to 2Chainz's unmemorable verse (I wouldn't even notice that he was on the record if it weren't written in the title of the song), and finally towards the "good"-old Nicki Minaj **** **** completely boring verse. Even if Gotti had good intentions or ideas his performance is utterly bad. Lyrics are bad, delivery is non-existent, and flow doesn't exist in the realm of this record. Apart from that, there are two good songs, the opening track "My City" which features great vocals by K. Michelle and almost spoken word poetry form Gotti. Also the title track "The Art of Hustle" is a good one, with a nice beat, but I was always on the edge of my seat waiting for Gotti to **** up this track as well but surprisingly he didn't. Overall, I have nothing against trap or even mumble rap but I do have a **** of things against simply bad music. Try harder! Full Review »
