Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
The whole thing is unbelievably dour and boring.
-
Consequence of Sound
G-Eazy is a retread of Drake’s depression and Rick Ross’ obsession with hustle.
-
Hip Hop DX
Established formulas of pandering singles and assembly line choruses aside, The Beautiful & Damned possesses enough serious assertiveness and classic Bay area slick talk to get burn well into 2018.
-
The Guardian
The title of G-Eazy’s The Beautiful & Damned – a reference to F Scott Fitzgerald’s jazz age novel – may hint at intellectual depth, but the California rapper’s fourth album turns out to be an exercise in dumb self-infatuation.

G-Eazy plays it by the numbers in The Beautiful & Damned, using his new popularity and the big names on the tracklist to hype up an album that only has its spots of brilliance

I expect more from an artist with this much star power, and with so many people invested in him.

Daily Lobo
G-Eazy appends lackluster discography
-
Philadelphia Inquirer
G-Eazy has made a descending chord, mournfully tonal record that even happy-go-lucky Charlie Puth could not save.
-
Idolator
Armed with some of the hottest beats of the year and the most chillingly earnest lyrics, he is incredibly self-aware and ready to soldier on.
-
AllMusic
With an inspired guest list and excellent production, The Beautiful & Damned is a satisfying artistic accomplishment that cautions as much as it seduces.
-
Journal Sentinel
G-Eazy easily separates himself from most trap rappers as he is a seasoned lyricist.
