Tyga-Careless World: Rise Of The Last King

"Careless World: Rise Of The Last King," the highly anticipated debut album from Young Money's Tyga, may have listeners bowing in the presence of hip-hop royalty.  Skepticism has surrounded Tyga's ability to carry a full length album on his own.  Questions have been raised whether or not he has the lyrical fortitude and relevant material to pull off a classic, or if he would come across as just another soldier in obscurity under the massive shadow of the YMCMB moniker.  Tyga DELIVERS!  "CW" is a 21 track masterpiece, that not only expands his lyricism, but expresses depth and vulnerability as an artist.  Tyga's musical introspection gives the listener a chance to connect to, and identify with, a rapper who is monumentally evolving.  "Careless World" is rich in diversity, which makes it vastly appealing to all types of hip-hop fans.  It offers something for everyone!  Of course Tyga is going to bring his usual party anthems like "Faded," "Celebration," and the smash-single "Rack City."  Love-centric songs such as "Do It All, "Love Game," and "For The Fame" with a radio friendly hook from Chris Brown, give a lighter feel to the album, while maintaining consistent with Tyga's artistic blueprint.  The lyrical progression is displayed on tracks like "I'm Gone," "Potty Mouth," "Black Crowns, and "King & Queens" where Tyga shines through with verbal heavy-hitters Wale and Nas.  Even though "CW" has an incredible list of features, (Pharrell, Big Sean, Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Robin Thicke, etc.) Tyga's dexterity throughout, places him in the upper echelon of MCs.  Even the high production value which is on point, becomes more of an after thought due to his revelation of lyrical adroitness.  The image and stereotype has been that Tyga may be mostly flash and lacking in substance, but "Careless World: Rise Of The Last King" has eradicated that notion.  This album has proven to the doubters that Tyga is anything less than versatile and the music will, from now on, speak for itself.  While YMCMB is undoubtedly one of the major forces is hip-hop, with a strong and complete roster of artists, Tyga proves that he is able to procure a spot in the rap games elite, under his own brand, and that other artist may be just peasants to the rise and reign of the "Last King."
