Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
As Tyga would tell it, The Gold Album is his "serious" album, the one where he stops being polite and starts getting real. Instead, we have 12 microwave-nuked approximations of Drake and Kanye songs, with none of the wit, soul, or edge.

XXL
Tyga has served up a solid effort with The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty, exploring new territory and pushing himself in a different direction than he’d gone during his ratchet past work. It’s just not necessarily a better one.
-
popMATTERS
The album is full of songs that falter either for a lack of a guiding beat or because of misguided lyrics that carry little purpose.
-
HIP HOP DX
The Gold Album is underscored by its poor creative choices.
-
sputnik music
An average rapper, that was supplied with great production that he still couldn't bring any personality to.
-
The Know- Denver Post
Most of the tracks on the album sound like Tyga wrote them while staring in the mirror and drawing up the highest notions of himself.

He’s got the skillset required to prove himself, he simply needs the right moment.

The Hoya
“The Gold Album” flopped both critically and commercially despite the musical production provided by hip-hop legend Kanye West. Without West’s touch, “Fu k Wat They Talkin Bout” dropped to even further depths. The resulting mixtape is a disjointed assortment of entertaining beats ruined by lazy, offensive wordplay that leaves a bad taste and fails to make a point.

Bring Back Hip Hop
I would’ve much rather listened to an album full of bangers, and I would’ve liked it for what it was. However, Tyga’s latest album just feels like a miss to me.

Live for Hip Hop
All in all, it’s probably his best project so far, and we should enjoy his growth on records.
