    2 Chainz over-promises and almost delivers

  3. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    2 Chainz has a wealth of ideas but suffers from an inability to flesh them out into fully formed song concepts

  4. 6.0 |   Spin

    A rapper who has completely come into his own as a personality, finally fully aware of what makes him an exciting entertainer

  5. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Didn’t have much chance of living up to its hype, and for that I have to give it credit for coming so surprisingly close to most folks’ expectations

  6. 4.5 |   Pitchfork

    Once you understand the basic 2 Chainz persona, there's no narrative, no room for introspection, no flexibility, nothing beyond the one-dimensional caricature he's crafted on countless other verses

  7. 4.0 |   Slant Magazine

    There's little to recommend about T.R.U. Story, with the album perhaps best serving as a warning that not everyone can make the transition from pinch hitter to bona-fide star

  8. 3.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    At its best when guests take the microphone and falls short nearly everywhere else
