2 Chainz announced that he is working on a third edition to his B.O.A.T.S. series of albums in a Twitter update made today (February 4).
"Workin on B.O.A.T.S III," Chainz said.
B.O.A.T.S. stands for Based On a T.R.U. Story, the rapper's debut album as 2 Chainz. The album received a 3 out of 5 X rating on HipHopDX when it was released in 2012.
"As a guest rapper, he's something like a big fish in a small pond - someone who might look and sound impressive at first glance, but is encumbered by stark limitations," HipHopDX said at the time. "Naturally, he's thoroughly out-rhymed by every guest on the album - Kanye West, Drake, Minaj, Scarface - and that might be the real reason behind the 2 Chainz phenomenon: He's a rapper that other rappers will endorse because they know he'll bring a certain amount of idiotic energy to their own track while never threatening their dominant status. He should stick to that pool."
In 2013, 2 Chainz released B.O.A.T.S. II: #MeTime, an album that received a 2.5 out of 5 X rating on HipHopDX.
"By now, most fans should know that 2 Chainz isn’t interested in providing the type of lyricism offered by emcees like Big Boi or Jay Electronica," HipHopDX said at the time. "And those listening to 2 Chainz probably don’t want that from him anyway. Either way, this time around, his formula —catchy hooks, spit-take worthy one-liners and danceable, Top-40 production—suffers from either overexposure or a lack of innovation. As the summer winds down, loyal 2 Chainz supporters and casual fans may enjoy B.O.A.T.S. II: #MeTime as functional, turn up music. But listeners that don’t fall into either of those categories would do well picking up more uniform offerings from similar artists."

No one hates 2chainz, only the reason perpetuates that, but when you look at the wackness of this forum, it's makes sense why
