Background[edit]

In 2007, 2 Chainz began releasing solo material, while he still was in the group Playaz Circle with Dolla Boy. During the year, he released a mixtape titled Me Against the World!, while he still was under his former stage name Tity Boi. In 2011, he changed his moniker to 2 Chainz, as he perceived it to be more 'family friendly', before his career began to take off.[3] Following his name change, 2 Chainz released a mixtape titled T.R.U. REALigion (2011), which became his first solo full-length project to appear on a music chart, peaking at number 58 on the US BillboardTop R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[4] He has also made guest appearances on songs by recording artists since the name change, including the singles 'Mercy' by Kanye West and 'Beez in the Trap' by Nicki Minaj.[5]

The album was originally set to be titled T.R.U. 2 My REALigion, as he revealed to AllHipHop at his sold-out show in New York City's live music venue SOB's, on January 30, 2012.[6] On March 15, 2012, it was revealed, while in Austin, Texas for SXSW, 2 Chainz announced his Def Jam debut, which would no longer be titled T.R.U. 2 My REALigion. Instead, during an interview with FUSE, the former member of Playaz Circle announced a new title for his LP: 'I recently changed the album and the new title of my album is Based on a T.R.U. Story.'[7]

Based on a T.R.U. Story received mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 55, based on 19 reviews, which indicates 'mixed or average reviews'.[30] David Jeffries of AllMusic praised the high-powered production on the lead track 'Yuck' and felt that overall 2 Chainz 'almost delivers on his official debut.'[24] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone felt 2 Chainz has 'irrepressible enthusiasm' and also praised the guest artists and producers.[29]

Phillip Mlynar of HipHopDX affirmed 2 Chainz' enthusiasm but disliked his lyrics, stating 'throughout the album, Chainz kicks a series of amazingly flimsy rhymes' and concluded '2 Chainz has revealed himself as the weakest guest on his own album.'[25] In a very negative review, Jesal Padania of RapReviews.com panned 2 Chainz' lyrics with the lowest possible score 1 out of 10 points, commenting 'Can 2 Chainz rap? Yes, of course. But is he saying anything? No, not even once.. Albums like 'Based On a T.R.U. Story' really make you wonder just how they even come about to existence.'[28]Los Angeles Times reviewer Randall Roberts also disliked Chainz' lyrics, and while he praised the guest verses on the album, he felt that '2 Chainz drags them down.'[26] In a lengthy review, Pitchfork Media's David Drake felt the album offers 'nothing beyond the one-dimensional caricature [2 Chainz]'s crafted on countless other verses' and called it 'a cynical example of the bare minimum of creativity required for that level of success.'[27]

Accolades[edit]

Despite being met with mixed reviews from critics, Based on a T.R.U. Story was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 55th Grammy Awards. The album was named the 25th best Hip Hop album of 2012 by Spin.[31]
