Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
The Atlanta rapper is a far better singer than he is a rapper, which is all too clear on his latest project.
-
The Fader
Lil Boat’s newest album is one of his most balanced efforts, but is devoid of standout tracks.
-
Hot New Hip Hop
Nuthin' 2 Prove is a mediocre project that has a few bangers tucked away beneath uninspired throwaways.
-
NME
With a swelling back catalogue, it’s becoming increasingly clear what does and doesn’t work for Yachty’s solo output: skippable braggadocious freestyles? No. Endearing and experimental takes on hip-hop that demonstrate his more individualistic approach to being a major rap artist? Yes please.
-
Variety
The Atlanta rapper is keeping expectations low on his latest release. He paved his own lane by being his weird self, but sadly, on “Nuthin’ 2 Prove,” Yachty’s guilty of following the crowd.
-
Hip Hop DX
It’s a good thing Lil Yachty feels he doesn’t have to meet anyone’s approval rating because his latest album likely won’t set anyone’s bar standard.
-
Ocolly
Although this was hands down the best Yachty album so far, it was still not the best he could do.
-
UpRoxx
If anything, Nuthin’ 2 Prove just leaves the listener with nothing so much as a lingering resentment toward Joe Budden and the rest of the “for the culture” brigade.
-
The Standard
Simply, there is just not enough here to warrant this as a good album.
-
Exclaim
Lil Boat is back, unfortunately, with a new album.
-
The Ratings Game
“Nuthin’ 2 Prove” is substantially better than the other two albums Yachty dropped, but it still isn’t the best he can do.
-
The Chronicle
Despite the lack of lyrical depth, Lil Yachty manages to create, for better or for worse, an album that remains an unequivocal expression of his persona.
-
All Music
Yachty chirps, on an album with a contradictory title.
-
High Snobiety
Nuthin’ 2 Prove isn’t a disaster, it’s got several songs that will make you reach for the replay button—it just isn’t a great reflection of its creator’s goofy personality.
-
What Went Wrong With
Nuthin’ 2 Prove is typical Yachty; there’s no innovation and no creativity, just a tracklist of similar songs that his fans will lap-up and the rest of us will continue to puzzle as to why this Twizzler-haired twat is signed.

Immortal Reviews
Lil Yachty doesn’t sound like he cares in Nuthin’ 2 Prove, which isn’t surprisingly at the least. There’s really very little to praise about this record, and while it’s better than Lil Boat 2, it still doesn’t meet the mark, or even gets close to it. Maybe he should try and prove something in the next album - perhaps that’ll get him somewhere.
-
The Sentry
Nuthin’ 2 Prove is no more a mixtape than an album. There is no real proven point, hence the wordplay of the album’s title as to what the meaning is.
-
Thirstkey
I don't normally do a "worst of the year" list but I've heard enough bad material this year to warrant one. This album would definitely make that list. Just...no.
-
WRBB Radio
Yachty has repeatedly said that he is “not a rapper,” but he sure seems like he’s trying to be one.
-
The Heights
What was most impressive about this album was the structure. Although there were a few stumbles, the album as a whole was very well done.
-
4 out of 5
On Nuthin’ 2 Prove, Yachty pulls his game in another direction, the I’m-the-greatest-of-all-time direction. It’s not a good look for someone with one of the weakest track records in the game right now, but Yachty goes for it nonetheless.
-
The Fresh Committee
All in all, Nuthin’ 2 Prove is the kind of artistic statement I had faith Lil Yachty could one day make.
-
The Tangerine
Much more was expected from Lil Yatchy on this album and he did not deliver, to many fan’s disappointment.
-
The Breeze
This album has a great balance of songs from high energy trap style to R&B that any hip-hop lover can listen to and enjoy. Fans of Lil Yachty should be proud of his work on this album and excited for any upcoming projects.
-
North Texas Daily
Overall, the music feels unforced and true to him. Lil Yachty seems to be recalibrating his trajectory, and he sounds insatiable and untouchable as he pushes forward.
-
Dawg Pound News
“Nuthin’ 2 Prove” is meant to send off a very nonchalant attitude and maybe say something to his fans or critics. In my opinion, I like the album and it’s simplicity.
-
Mixtape Mixup
If you are already a Yachty fan, this one will sit properly with you. For all others, Nuthin’ 2 Prove is a mediocre challenge that has a number of bangers tucked away beneath uninspired throwaways.

Noise Comply
OCTOBER 27, 2018 Lil Yachty – “Nuthin’ 2 Prove” Album Review Nuthin’ 2 Prove is Lil Yachty’s second great album this year, and I think he has now proved that he will have no trouble remaining relevant as he continues to grow and progress as an artist.
-
Street Stalkin
It shows maturity from Yachty, and begs listeners to query what would occur if the younger begin rapped like he did have one thing to show in spite of everything.
-
The Charger Bulletin
“Nuthin’ 2 Prove” has catchy rap lines and songs that make you get into your feelings. But, no songs on the album provide that smash hit factor.
