Too much 2 Chainz can be a bit like eating icing directly from a pastry bag: fun at first, then nauseating. "I don't care about the tats on your faces/ Them bitches cost $15/ I don't care about the pills that you're taking/ Them bitches cost $15!" he raps on the title track, hamming it up with phrase-punctuating tonal shifts. The brevity allows him to be the entertainer who captivated audiences with jokey, absurd runs of guest verses again. 2 Chainz cuts out the filler here, and is better for it: His trifle-heavy rap style works better in condensed space, and at six tracks that’s exactly what we've got. Trap-A-Velli Tre had its moments, but it was way too drawn out and scattershot,with a few songs that were as weird as they were unnecessary. At just about 20 minutes, Felt Like Cappin is a natural progression from 2014’s underrated FreeBaseEP*,* with last year’s Trap-A-Velli Tre mixtape serving as more of a stopgap.
